Our team of physiotherapists specializes in diagnosing and treating hip pain, helping you reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and regain your quality of life.

Understanding Hip Pain

The hip is one of the largest and most important joints in the body, playing a critical role in supporting your weight and enabling movement. Because it endures so much stress, it’s vulnerable to injury and degenerative conditions. Hip pain can stem from a range of causes, and understanding the source of your discomfort is key to finding the right treatment.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

Osteoarthritis

Age-related wear and tear on the cartilage in the hip joint can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Bursitis

The bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint, can become inflamed from overuse or repetitive movements, leading to sharp or aching pain.

Muscle Strains or Tendonitis

Overuse or sudden movements can strain the muscles or tendons surrounding the hip, resulting in localized pain.

Hip Labral Tears

Damage to the cartilage around the socket of the hip joint, often caused by trauma or repetitive movements, can lead to instability and discomfort.

Fractures

Hip fractures, typically resulting from falls or direct impact, are a common issue in older adults and require specialized care for recovery.

Sciatica

Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve can cause pain that radiates from the lower back to the hip and down the leg.

How Physiotherapy Can Help

Physiotherapy is a highly effective, non invasive treatment for managing hip pain and restoring mobility. At Elite Physio Ottawa, our physiotherapists take a holistic approach to care, addressing the root cause of your discomfort and creating a personalized plan to support your recovery.

Our Approach to Hip Pain Relief

Comprehensive Assessment

We start with a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying cause of your hip pain, taking into account your medical history, lifestyle, and functional goals.

Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques such as joint mobilization and soft tissue release help improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and relieve pain in the hip joint and surrounding areas .

Targeted Exercises

Strengthening and stretching exercises are key to restoring mobility and stability. We focus on building the muscles that support the hip, such as the glutes and core, while improving range of motion in the joint.

Pain-Relief Modalities

To manage pain and inflammation, we may use techniques such as heat therapy, cold packs, ultrasound, or TENS. These approaches provide immediate relief, allowing you to engage more comfortably in your rehabilitation plan .

Postural and Movement Correction

Improper posture and movement patterns can place extra strain on the hip. Our physiotherapists provide education on how to adjust your movements and optimize your body mechanics to prevent further pain.

For patients recovering from hip surgery, we design safe and progressive rehabilitation plans to restore strength, function, and confidence as you heal .
