Book an AppointmentHow We Approach Hip Pain

Your goals might include walking further, climbing stairs, gardening, cycling or returning to sport. Some symptoms benefit from additional medical assessment or surgical advice; we will discuss this when appropriate rather than assuming one approach suits everyone.

Hip Pain: Frequently Asked Questions
Can physiotherapy help with hip osteoarthritis?
Exercise, strength training and practical advice can help many people manage hip osteoarthritis and stay active. We will tailor the plan to your symptoms, goals and what you feel ready to do.
Should I keep walking if my hip hurts?
Often you can stay active by adjusting the distance, pace or frequency of walking. We can help you work out what is manageable and how to build up gradually, rather than simply pushing through pain or stopping altogether.
Can you help with pain on the outside of my hip?
Yes. Pain around the outside of the hip can have several causes, including greater trochanteric pain syndrome. Assessment helps us understand your symptoms and choose appropriate advice and strengthening exercises.
Can you support recovery after a hip replacement?
We can help you rebuild movement, strength and confidence after hip replacement surgery, taking account of the guidance from your surgical team and your individual goals.
When should I seek urgent medical advice?
Seek urgent assessment if you cannot bear weight after a fall or injury, have severe sudden hip pain, or develop a hot, swollen joint with fever. These symptoms need medical assessment rather than a routine physiotherapy appointment.
