Introduction
Hip pain can make simple tasks difficult. Walking, standing, sitting, or sleeping may become uncomfortable. Because the hips play a key role in movement and balance, even mild pain can affect daily life.
At Narrow Gate Physiotherapy, we provide comprehensive physiotherapy for hip pain and long-term hip health. Our aim is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore strength.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
Hip pain can develop for many reasons, including:
Hip osteoarthritis causing stiffness and reduced movement
Hip bursitis leading to pain on the outside of the hip
Muscle strains from overuse or sudden loading
Hip labral tears causing clicking or instability
Referred pain from the lower back or pelvis
Identifying the correct cause is essential for effective treatment.
How Physiotherapy Supports Hip Health
At Narrow Gate Physiotherapy, treatment is based on your diagnosis, goals, and activity level.
Your program may include:
Strengthening exercises for the glutes, hips, and core
Mobility exercises to reduce stiffness and improve range
Manual therapy to ease joint and muscle restriction
Gait assessment to improve walking mechanics
Activity modification to protect the hip during daily tasks
This approach helps improve both short-term comfort and long-term hip function.
