Hip Pain
Hip pain is a very common complaint, especially in people who play kicking sports like football or rugby, who spend a lot of time standing, or who are managing osteoarthritis.
About Hip Pain
All of our physios at Anytime Physio are experienced in treating common hip pain conditions. We also work with Brisbane's top hip and knee specialists to provide rehabilitation following hip surgeries such as hip replacements and hip fracture fixations.
Your physio will thoroughly assess your hip to provide a clear diagnosis. Treatment generally involves managing pain by reducing irritation of the affected muscles, tendons and joints, while restoring strength in the area through a tailored strengthening program.

What to expect
How We Treat It
Physiotherapy for hip pain involves identifying the structures involved and the factors that led to the injury, then designing a recovery plan suited to your specific presentation. Treatment options include hands-on manual therapy, massage, dry needling, stretches, and exercises to improve mobility and motor control of the hip and pelvis (i.e. core stability).
Reformer and clinical Pilates often forms an important part of hip rehab, helping you rebuild strength and control in positions that mimic the demands of your daily life and sport.

FAQs
Common Questions
It depends on where the pain is. If it's on the outside of your hip, it's likely trochanteric bursitis or gluteus medius tendinopathy, and ice can be effective in reducing inflammation. If you experience deep pain in the centre of the buttock or in the groin, heat may be helpful because it reduces muscle spasm and brings more blood to the area to assist healing. Whichever you choose, apply for 20 minutes every 2 hours.
