The Benefits of Physiotherapy for Hip Pain

Hip pain can come from a wide range of causes, including: Hip pain can affect anyone—from runners and gym-goers to office workers and older adults. It’s a common complaint we treat at Excel Physio Therapy, and physiotherapy has proven to be one of the most effective ways to relieve hip pain, restore function, and get you back to moving freely.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

• Osteoarthritis – Age-related wear and tear in the joint.
• Hip Bursitis – Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that cushions the hip.
• Tendonitis – Overuse injuries that cause irritation in tendons.
• Labral Tears – Damage to the cartilage that lines the socket of the hip.
• Referred Pain – Issues in the lower back or pelvis can often cause pain that’s felt in the hip.

Understanding the root cause is essential, and at Excel Physio Therapy, we carry out a full assessment before designing your treatment plan.

How Physiotherapy Helps

1. Pain Relief
   Hands-on techniques like massage and joint mobilisation help relieve muscle tightness, reduce inflammation, and ease pain without relying on medication.
2. Restoring Mobility
   If pain or stiffness is limiting your ability to move, a physiotherapist can guide you through stretches and movements that restore normal joint range.
3. Strengthening Muscles
   Weak hip and core muscles can lead to instability or misalignment. A strengthening programme improves function and reduces the risk of recurring pain.
4. Postural & Gait Analysis
   If your posture or walking pattern is contributing to your hip pain, we’ll correct it with exercises and advice tailored to your lifestyle.
5. Long-Term Prevention
   We don’t just treat the pain—we give you the tools to keep it away. You’ll leave with a plan to maintain strength and flexibility going forward.
