Understanding my Hip Pain

Why does my hip hurt?

Did you have an incident, or did your hip just get sore over time?

We treat traumatic hips and those that just get sore over time a bit differently.

Different issues also vary depending on age: from tendon strains and labral tears, arthritis, instability, labral lesions, gluteal tendinopathy, bursitis and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

What can we do about it?

Is your hip stiff, painful or hypermobile? There’s a different approach to each.

Jenkins Physiotherapy uses hands on manual therapy, exercises, dry needling, advice and ongoing recommendations to help your body recover. We can also recommend the right supportive bracing when it’s needed.

We find ways to strengthen affected joints and muscles, and progressively restore active range of movements.

We also want to find exercise that you can do that is healthy and gets you back to normal.

You should know that tendons can take weeks and sometimes months to heal.

Flare ups can happen, but we manage that and get going again.

How can I get started?

Simply reach out to our friendly admin team, or go to our booking page and schedule an appointment at Jenkins Physiotherapy, Madeley in the Perth northern suburbs.

Remember your health fund card, or any referral documents from your GP or specialist to present to admin on arrival.

Wear something comfortable, so that we can assess the area that is of main concern.
