Hip and Pelvis Pain

Hip and groin pain can be frustrating and limiting to your lifestyle. It might have started after a big hike, giving birth to children, starting a new exercise regimen or can often feel like it's come from nowhere. Whether it's been happening for a week or a year, the first thing you need to try and do is work out where it's coming from. Common things we hear are:

​

"I can't lie on my hip."

"I have groin pain when running."

"My hips ache in the morning."

"I get pain in my pelvis at night."

​

As the hip and pelvis are quite complicated, there's a few different things that can be causing your problem which can include:

• Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) strain

• Greater trochanteric bursitis (read this blog)

• Gluteus medius tendinopathy (read this blog)

• Labral Tear

• Adductor (groin) Tendinopathy 

• Osteoarthritis of the hip

• Pelvic girdle pain

• Piriformis syndrome

• Pelvic floor dysfunction

​

The management for each condition is going to be different and is individualised because no two people are the same. What you can expect from your physio is:

• A thorough assessment of your hip and whole body to understand what's causing your pain and why

• Hands on treatment to reduce your pain and help you sleep

• Explain to you strategies you can do to fix your issue for the long term

• Prescribe you a home exercise program for long term resolution of your problem.
