The hip is one of the most powerful and complex joints in the human body, supporting our weight, enabling movement, and connecting the upper and lower halves of our frame. When hip pain strikes, it doesn’t just slow you down, it can affect your posture, mobility, and overall quality of life.
At PROHEALTH PHYSIOS & FITNESS (EP), our team can help diagnose and treat hip-related conditions through a combination of expert physiotherapy and tailored exercise physiology programs. Whether you’re an athlete, desk worker, or active retiree, we’re here to help you move better, feel stronger, and LIVE LIFE BETTER pain-free.
What Causes Hip Pain?
Hip pain can result from a variety of sources, and understanding the root cause is key to effective treatment. Some common culprits include:
- Osteoarthritis – degeneration of the joint cartilage, causing stiffness and pain
- Hip Bursitis – inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint
- Labral Tears – damage to the cartilage that lines the hip socket
- Tendinopathies – overuse injuries affecting the tendons around the hip
- Muscle Imbalances or Weakness – poor posture or movement patterns leading to strain

Our physiotherapists take a holistic, evidence-based approach to hip rehabilitation. Every treatment plan is customised to your unique needs and goals.
What You Can Expect:
