How I treat hip pain

Hip pain can come from the joint, the tendons or the lower back, and each source needs different treatment. In the first session I isolate the source with a full movement assessment and build a tailored plan.

Frequently asked questions

It’s sometimes hard to tell. A clinical examination helps identify the source of the pain.

In most cases, yes, as long as you adjust the distance and load to your ability.

No. Often you can start with a professional examination and only refer for imaging if needed.

In many cases, yes - especially when the treatment fits the cause and the load.

When to get checked

If the pain limits walking, interferes with sleep, or lasts beyond a few weeks, get a professional assessment and a tailored treatment plan.
