Hip Pain

Osteopathy for Hip Pain

Hip pain can interfere with walking, sitting, training, and even simple daily tasks. Because the hip is a major weight-bearing joint, any restriction or irritation can quickly impact comfort and mobility. Osteopathy offers a practical way to assess the cause of your pain and address the structures that are contributing to it.

Our approach examines the hip joint itself, the surrounding muscles, the lower back, pelvis, and even foot mechanics. This helps us understand why the pain is present and what needs to change to restore normal movement. Treatment may include gentle joint techniques, soft tissue work, stretching, and simple corrective exercises designed to ease strain and support better function.

Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain can come from many sources, including:

Injury
A fall, sporting incident, or sudden strain can irritate the joint, tendons, or surrounding muscles. Even minor injuries can create persistent discomfort if not addressed properly.

Arthritis
Osteoarthritis commonly affects the hip. It involves gradual wear of the joint surfaces, which can cause stiffness, inflammation, and pain. Early and consistent management helps slow progression and improve mobility.

Wear and Tear
Long-term load, repetitive movements, or postural imbalance can place stress on the hip joint. Over time this can lead to irritation, reduced range of motion, and difficulty with everyday activities.

Regardless of the cause, a clear assessment helps determine what is contributing to your symptoms and which treatment pathway will be most effective.
