Hip Pain
Hip pain can be felt around the front, side or back of the hip and may come from the joint itself or from the surrounding muscles and tendons. It can develop gradually, after an injury or following changes in activity.
Symptoms can affect walking, running, climbing stairs, sitting or sleeping, depending on the underlying cause. Understanding how the hip moves and responds to load is an important part of identifying what may be contributing.
Common Symptoms
Hip symptoms may include pain, stiffness or aching around the front, side or back of the hip, reduced movement and discomfort during walking, stairs, running or lying on the affected side.
Possible Causes
A range of joints, tendons and muscles can contribute to hip pain. Symptoms may be influenced by changes in activity, strength and loading, previous injury or conditions affecting the joint itself.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy can assess your hip alongside the movement and strength of the wider lower limb. Rehabilitation can then target the factors most relevant to you, with the aim of improving movement, strength and confidence.
