Why Choose Injury Active
Hip pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in Melbourne, affecting people of all ages, from active young adults with hip flexor strains to older adults managing hip osteoarthritis.
At Injury Active Clinic, we take a thorough, evidence-based approach to hip pain diagnosis and treatment. Our multi-disciplinary team of physiotherapists, osteopaths, myotherapists, and exercise physiologists work together to identify the root cause of your hip pain and build a personalised treatment plan that addresses it, not just the symptoms.
Common Causes
Hip pain has many possible causes. Accurate diagnosis is the first step to effective treatment.
Inflammation of the bursa (fluid-filled sac) over the greater trochanter, causing lateral hip pain that worsens with walking, climbing stairs, or lying on the affected side.
Degeneration or irritation of the gluteal tendons, producing deep lateral hip pain that is aggravated by prolonged sitting, crossing legs, or single-leg activities.
Age-related degeneration of the hip joint cartilage, causing groin pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion, particularly in the morning or after prolonged sitting.
Overstretching or tearing of the hip flexor muscles (iliopsoas, rectus femoris), causing anterior hip or groin pain that worsens with walking, running, or lifting the knee.
Tearing of the cartilage ring (labrum) around the hip socket, producing deep groin pain, clicking, or a feeling of instability, often associated with FAI.
Hip pain that originates from the lumbar spine or sacroiliac joint, often mimicking true hip pathology. Accurate diagnosis is essential to ensure the right treatment.
