Hip Pain & Joint Dysfunction

Walking, climbing stairs, or sleeping on your side shouldn't be limited by hip pain. We identify what's driving your discomfort — joint, muscle, tendon, or nerve — and build a plan that restores full movement.

Find the Real Driver of Your Hip Pain

Hip pain can come from the joint, the surrounding tendons, the low back, or even the knee. Our initial assessment pinpoints the source so your treatment addresses the actual problem.

Understanding the Condition

What Causes Hip Pain & Joint Dysfunction

01

Hip Osteoarthritis

Gradual joint wear causing deep ache, morning stiffness, and reduced range of motion — especially into rotation and flexion.

02

Trochanteric Bursitis

Inflammation of the bursa on the outer hip, producing sharp pain on the side of the thigh that worsens with lying on the hip or climbing stairs.

03

Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)

Bony overgrowth at the hip joint that pinches the labrum during deep hip flexion — common in active individuals and desk workers.

04

Labral Tear

Damage to the cartilage ring inside the hip socket, causing clicking, catching, or a deep aching pain in the groin.

05

Hip Flexor Tendinopathy

Overload of the iliopsoas tendon — often from repetitive hip flexion in runners, cyclists, or those returning to sport after a break.

06

Referred Pain from the Lumbar Spine

Nerve irritation or joint issues in the lower back can produce pain that feels like it is coming directly from the hip.

How we treat it

The KINETIKA Approach

1
Comprehensive Movement Assessment

We assess hip mobility, strength, and load tolerance — and screen the lumbar spine and knee to rule out referred sources.

2
Manual Therapy & Joint Mobilisation

Targeted hands-on treatment to restore hip range of motion, reduce inflammation, and improve joint mechanics.

3
Progressive Loading Programme

Hip strengthening and neuromuscular control exercises tailored to your goals — whether that is returning to sport, walking without a limp, or sleeping pain-free.

4
Return to Activity Planning

We map your recovery against your lifestyle. If surgery has been recommended, we also guide you through pre- and post-operative rehabilitation.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Usually not. A thorough clinical assessment identifies most hip conditions. If imaging is needed, we'll guide you to the right specialist — but physio often helps regardless.

Yes. Exercise and manual therapy are the most evidence-based treatments for hip OA and can significantly reduce pain and improve function without surgery.

Acute flare-ups often settle in 4–6 weeks. Structural issues like FAI or labral tears typically need 8–16 weeks of targeted rehab. We set clear milestones from session one.
