How physiotherapy can help
How we assess and treat hip & groin pain
- AssessmentWe start by finding out what is driving your pain. We talk through your symptoms, injury history, daily activities and goals, then look at how your hip moves, the strength of your hips, glutes, groin and trunk, and how you manage the movements that bother you, such as walking, stairs, running or changing direction. You leave knowing what is going on and what the plan is.
- Progressive strengtheningStrength work is the core of hip and groin rehab. We build a program for your hips, glutes, groin and trunk that starts at a level you can manage and steps up as your tolerance improves, so tendons, muscles and the joint can adapt gradually. Hands-on treatment and advice on adjusting activity help settle pain along the way.
- Return to activityAs strength and control improve, we bring back the activities that matter to you, whether that is walking comfortably, getting back to the gym, running or returning to sport. We set clear milestones for each step, so you know when you are ready to do more and how to lower the chance of the pain coming back.

FAQs
What to expect from hip & groin physiotherapy
Scans?
Most hip and groin conditions can initially be assessed through a clinical examination without requiring imaging. If further investigation is needed, we’ll guide you on what may be appropriate for you.
Movement?
Keeping active within comfortable limits is generally encouraged. We’ll help you understand which activities and movements to modify and how to gradually rebuild your strength and movement.
Time frame?
Recovery varies depending on the condition, severity and duration of symptoms. Muscle strains may settle over several weeks, while tendon and joint-related conditions can require a longer rehabilitation plan.
At home
You’ll leave with practical advice and exercises to help manage your symptoms, maintain movement and build strength between appointments.
