Understanding hip pain
Hip pain can affect people of all ages and can significantly impact mobility, making everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or even sitting uncomfortable. It can result from injury, overuse, or underlying conditions such as arthritis. Without proper treatment, hip pain may worsen over time, limiting movement and reducing quality of life.
At our physiotherapy clinic in Bramhall near Stockport, we offer expert assessment and treatment to help relieve hip pain, restore mobility, and prevent future problems.

Hip pain can develop due to a variety of reasons, including:
- Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear of the hip joint leading to pain and stiffness
- Hip bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the joint
- Muscle strains: Overuse or sudden movements causing tightness and discomfort
- Hip impingement (FAI): A condition where bone overgrowth affects hip movement
- Sciatica: Nerve pain that can radiate from the lower back to the hip and leg
- Hip fractures or injuries: Common in older adults due to falls or trauma
- Tendinopathy: Overuse injuries affecting the tendons around the hip

Groin pain is often linked to joint issues or hip impingement
