Hip Pain / Hip Osteoarthritis

Hip problems can affect walking, stairs, transfers, and general lower-limb function. Physiotherapy focuses on restoring hip capsule mobility, building gluteal strength, and optimizing pelvis-spine load sharing.

  • Hip, groin, or deep buttock pain
  • Stiffness, particularly after waking or sitting

Assessment May Include

Comprehensive baseline clinical evaluation
  • Hip range of motion (internal/external rotation, flexion)
  • Strength of hip abductors and extensors
  • Gait mechanics and Trendelenburg sign screening
  • Functional movement screening
  • Lumbar spine and knee screening

Physiotherapy Management May Include

Multi-faceted therapeutic approach adapted to your recovery stage
Mobility exercises for the hip joint
Hip and lower-limb progressive strengthening
Gait retraining and walking speed improvement
Functional exercise (squats, step-ups)
