Pain in the hip can occur due to many causes in sports injury, bursitis/tendonitis and arthritis.

 

The hip is examined to see if it is a muscular, joint, ligament or tendon problem.

 

Treatment can include:

- Hands-on treatment, including soft tissue techniques/massage and joint mobilisation

- Hip stretches to improve movement

- Strengthening exercises to assist rehabilitation and prevent further injury

- Techniques to reduce pain and swelling

- Strapping if required
