Hip pain often involves the joints of the pelvis, the lower back, or the muscles that stabilize the hip. Desk jobs, running and pregnancy all change how the hip moves. We treat the joint and the muscles around it, then build strength so the relief has a better chance of lasting.

What it feels like

Aching in the front of the hip or groin, pain on the outside of the hip when lying on that side, tightness getting up from a chair, or a deep ache in the buttock.

How we help

We assess the hip, pelvis and lower back together, because they rarely cause trouble on their own.

  • Hip, pelvis and lower back assessment

  • Adjustments and mobilization of the pelvis and hip

  • Soft-tissue work for hip flexors and glutes

  • Glute and core strengthening you can progress

Common questions

Can hip pain come from my back?

Yes, often. Part of your exam is checking which one is really involved.

Is clicking bad?

Clicking without pain is usually harmless. Clicking with pain, catching or locking is worth checking.

I run. Should I stop?

Usually not. We change your volume and add strength work so you can keep running while it settles.
