Hip Pain

Hip Pain – Causes and How Osteopathy Can Help

Hip pain can come from a number of different causes, many of which we can help with osteopathy.

Pain might be caused by tight or strained muscles around the hip, an issue with the hip joint itself, or sometimes it’s pain referred from the lower back. How you stand, move, or use your hip in everyday life can also play a big part.

Osteoarthritis (wear and tear) in the hip joint is a common reason for pain. While osteopathy can’t cure arthritis, treatment often helps ease the symptoms, improve how your hip moves, and support your overall wellbeing.

How Osteopathy Supports Hip Pain Relief

Our osteopaths look at your whole body, assessing how your hip moves and how it works with the rest of you. We use gentle hands-on techniques to:

• Stretch and strengthen muscles around the hip

• Massage tight muscles to reduce tension

• Mobilise the hip joint to improve flexibility and ease stiffness

• Work on related problems, like back pain, that might be affecting your hip
