Hip Pain Treatment Newcastle

Hip pain can affect walking, sitting, sleeping, exercise, and everyday activities such as climbing stairs or getting in and out of a car. Whether your hip pain has developed gradually or followed an injury, ongoing discomfort can significantly impact your mobility and quality of life.

Here at Gosforth Physio & Wellness, our specialist physiotherapists provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for all types of hip pain. Using hands-on physiotherapy in Newcastle, as well as targeted rehabilitation, and evidence-based care, we aim to relieve pain, improve movement, and help you return to normal activity with confidence.

Hip Pain Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapists in Newcastle use a personalised combination of mobilisation, manual therapy, taping, dry needling, massage, acupuncture, and progressive strengthening exercises to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and restore normal hip function.

We focus on understanding why your hip pain has developed, rather than simply treating symptoms. Following a thorough assessment, your physiotherapist will explain your diagnosis clearly, outline the most effective treatment options, and begin treatment in your first session. Early physiotherapy intervention can speed up recovery and help prevent ongoing or recurrent hip problems.

Common Types of Hip Pain

Hip Impingement (FAI)
Femoroacetabular impingement occurs when abnormal contact within the hip joint causes pain during movement, often felt in the groin, thigh, or buttock. Symptoms may worsen with sitting, squatting, or sporting activities.

Hip Bursitis
Inflammation of the bursae around the hip can cause pain on the outer side of the hip or thigh, particularly when walking, lying on the affected side, or climbing stairs.

Muscle Strains and Tendon Injuries
Overloading or sudden movements can strain the muscles and tendons surrounding the hip, leading to pain, weakness, and reduced range of movement.

Arthritis
Wear and tear or inflammatory arthritis within the hip joint can cause stiffness, pain, and difficulty with everyday activities, especially first thing in the morning or after prolonged sitting.

Referred Pain from the Lower Back
Hip pain is sometimes linked to lower back or pelvic dysfunction, with symptoms felt around the hip rather than the spine itself.
