Hip Pain

Introduction

Hip Pain

Is hip pain holding you back from reaching your full potential? Or is it simply stopping you from doing the things you love? Hip pain is a common complaint that we see here at Activate Physio across a wide population of different age ranges and activity levels.

Whether it is running, squatting or simply walking that you’re struggling with, establishing a clear diagnosis and identifying the cause marks the start of your rehab journey. After problems are identified, a clear management plan can be created and executed to work towards your goals.

The hip joint, like the shoulder; is a ball and socket joint that forms the connection between the pelvis and the lower limb. The nature of a ball and socket joint means that large degrees of multidirectional movement is available. As such, we ought to have sufficient strength, stability and control around the joint to allow for efficient function.

Like all joints within our bodies, hips are susceptible from developing osteoarthritis which can cause varying degrees of pain and dysfunction. Simply put, this occurs due to a natural degenerative process which causes damage to the hip joint surface and can limit the available range of movement.

Client Testimonials

SJ's wealth of experience and genuine passion for his job is his biggest asset, coupled with his ability to forge a relationship with a client on a professional and a personal level. He found a solution to my long-term lower back problems, not only by treating the symptoms but finding the root cause of the issue. It allowed me to continue my career as a professional rugby player with the Newcastle Falcons and I will always be grateful that our paths crossed.


Carlo Del Fava

BBC Sport, Former Italian International

After becoming injured earlier in the year I came to Activate Physio for help. SJ quickly isolated the issues and provided a programme of exercises to correct imbalances that had caused the problems. This enabled me to resume training quicker than expected with stronger and more efficient form. I would highly recommend Activate Physiotherapy to anyone in need of professional sports treatment.
