Hip Pain

An osteopath can help with hip pain by identifying the root cause—whether it’s muscular, joint- related, or referred from the back or pelvis—and using hands-on techniques to relieve it. Here’s how they typically approach hip pain:

  • Full-body approach: Osteopaths assess not only the hip but also related areas like the lower back, pelvis, knees, and gait to understand the whole picture.
  • Identifying cause: Hip pain might stem from arthritis, bursitis, muscle strain, postural imbalances, or even referred pain from the spine.
  • Soft tissue massage: Eases tight muscles, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation.
  • Joint mobilization: Gently moves the hip joint to increase range of motion and reduce stiffness.
  • Stretching techniques: Loosens tight surrounding muscles (like the hip flexors, glutes, or IT band) that may be contributing to the pain.
  • Osteopaths look for biomechanical issues (e.g., leg length discrepancies, pelvic tilt) and work to correct them to take pressure off the hip.
  • They'll often recommend targeted exercises to strengthen supportive muscles, improve stability, and prevent recurrence.
  • Tips on activity modification, footwear, sleeping positions, and posture to support hip recovery.

Osteopathy can be particularly helpful for conditions like:

  • Hip osteoarthritis
  • Piriformis syndrome
  • Trochanteric bursitis
  • Muscle imbalances or overuse injuries
