Where do I get hip pain treatment in Altona?

At 22 Reserve Court Altona, our osteopaths and myotherapists treat hip pain for patients from Altona, Newport, Williamstown, and Spotswood. Our Altona practitioners are experienced in treating hip pain from a whole-body perspective, addressing spinal, pelvic, and hip joint mechanics that contribute to hip loading and pain.

What causes hip pain?

Hip pain can be caused by a wide range of conditions including hip bursitis, hip flexor strain, osteoarthritis, labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), gluteal tendinopathy, referred pain from the lower back, and IT band syndrome. An accurate diagnosis is essential to ensure the right treatment approach.

Should I see a physio or osteopath for hip pain?

Both physiotherapists and osteopaths are highly effective for hip pain. Physiotherapy focuses on movement retraining, strengthening, and rehabilitation, while osteopathy takes a whole-body approach addressing joint mechanics, muscle balance, and spinal alignment. At Injury Active Clinic, our team works together so you can access both disciplines under one roof.

Can hip pain be treated without surgery?

Yes, the vast majority of hip pain conditions respond well to conservative treatment. Physiotherapy, osteopathy, myotherapy, and exercise physiology can effectively manage hip bursitis, hip flexor injuries, gluteal tendinopathy, and mild to moderate hip osteoarthritis without surgery. Our team will advise you honestly if imaging or specialist referral is required.

How long does hip pain treatment take?

Acute hip injuries typically resolve within 4 to 8 sessions. Chronic conditions like hip osteoarthritis or gluteal tendinopathy may require a longer programme of 8 to 16 sessions, often combined with exercise physiology for progressive loading and long-term management. Your practitioner will give you a personalised timeline at your first appointment.

Common Causes

What's causing your hip pain?

Hip Pain is rarely "just hip pain." At Injury Active Altona, we identify the specific structure causing your pain, then treat it directly.

Hip Bursitis

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.

Gluteal Tendinopathy

Degeneration or irritation of the gluteal tendons, producing deep lateral hip pain that is aggravated by prolonged sitting, crossing legs, or single-leg activities.

Hip Osteoarthritis

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.

Hip Flexor Strain

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.

Labral Tear

Tearing of the cartilage ring (labrum) around the hip socket, producing deep groin pain, clicking, or a feeling of instability, often associated with FAI.

Referred Pain From The Spine

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.
