Expert Hip Pain Treatment and Rehabilitation at Physiovista

Hip Clinic

Hip pain can steal the simplest pleasures: walking to the market, climbing stairs, sitting cross-legged, turning in bed or playing with your children. Because the hip carries your body weight with every step, pain here quickly affects your mobility, mood and independence.

The Hip Clinic at Physiovista Healthcare Network offers specialist physiotherapy for hip pain at every stage, from early arthritis and sports injuries to complete recovery after hip replacement. We identify the cause of your pain and guide you to stronger, steadier movement.

About Our Hip Clinic

The hip is a deep ball-and-socket joint surrounded by powerful muscles. It works closely with the lower back, pelvis and knee, so pain felt in the hip can start in the spine or sacroiliac joint, and hip problems can in turn cause back and knee pain. Careful assessment is therefore essential.

At our hip clinic, we examine hip joint movement, muscle strength, pelvic control, walking pattern and the lower back. Treatment is non-surgical and function-focused, combining manual therapy, strengthening, balance training and technology. If surgery such as hip replacement is likely, we offer pre-habilitation to improve your outcome and a structured rehabilitation plan afterwards.

What to Expect at Your First Hip Visit

Your first session takes around 45 to 60 minutes. We ask about your pain, walking distance and daily limits, watch you walk and move, test hip strength and range, and check your back and pelvis. Wear comfortable shorts if possible and bring your scans, reports or surgical notes.

Self-care tips: stay active within comfort, avoid sitting for very long periods, use a firm chair that is not too low, sleep with a pillow between the knees if lying on your side, and keep your weight in a healthy range, since every kilogram lost reduces the load on your hips.
