A Non-Surgical Approach to Hip Pain
Hip pain can be quite troublesome, affecting both your mobility and quality of life. Find gradual relief with hip physio.
It might be the result of an injury, arthritis, or another underlying issue, but when the hips hurt, even simple things like walking, sitting, or lying in bed can become uncomfortable. At Livewell Health, we aid safe recovery with our hip physiotherapy treatments.

When to See Our Hip Physiotherapists?
With proper treatment and care, hip pain can often be reduced significantly and even resolved completely.
It’s common for people to dismiss it as part of getting older, but it isn’t always just age. Sometimes the pain is a sign of load or muscle imbalances that need attention.
Early intervention can address the root cause of hip pain, reducing the need for medication or surgery down the line. So, if you experience pain that limits walking, sleeping, or sitting, clicking or catching in the hip joint, sudden weakness or balance problems, it is time to consult our physiotherapists. Also, for individuals recovering from surgery, hip and groin physio can be a great relief.

Frequently Asked Questions
01What should I expect at my first hip physio session?
We’ll take a close look at how you move, assessing your posture, strength, flexibility, and pain patterns. You’ll leave with a personalised treatment plan that could include hands-on therapy, targeted exercises, and practical advice.
02How long does recovery take?
The recovery period will always be unique to every situation. It will depend on what’s causing the pain. Mild strains can be resolved in weeks but more complex issues like labral tears or arthritis could take months of consistent care.
03Can physio help after hip surgery or replacement?
Yes, physio can prove to be quite beneficial after hip surgery or replacement. Post-op physio is key to regaining strength, confidence, and mobility after procedures like total hip replacements or arthroscopy.
04Is groin pain always coming from the hip?
No, groin pain is not always connected to the hip. Sometimes groin pain is referred from muscles, tendons, or even your lower back or pelvis. That’s why a proper assessment is so important.
05What exercises are used in hip and groin rehab?
Your program might include hip muscle strengthening, hip joint mobility exercises, muscle stretches, balance drills, functional movements like squats and lunges.
