Hip Pain Physiotherapy
Hip pain affecting your walking, training or sleep? PHYZFIT in Bexley North and Marrickville provides thorough hip assessment and targeted treatment.
What is Hip Pain Physiotherapy?
The hip is a ball and socket joint designed for both stability and mobility. Pain in and around the hip can arise from multiple structures and can also be referred from the lower back or knee. Accurate diagnosis is essential because different hip conditions require very different treatment approaches.

- Pain that worsens with sitting for long periods
- Pain going up stairs or hills

- Clicking or clunking in the hip joint

How We Treat Hip Pain Physiotherapy
At PHYZFIT our physiotherapists take a thorough evidence based approach. Every treatment plan is built around your goals, your lifestyle and your body.

Load Management
For tendinopathy we carefully manage activity levels and progressively load the hip tendons to stimulate healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my hip pain coming from my back?
It can be. Pain from the lumbar spine can refer into the hip and groin and mimic true hip pathology. Your physio will screen both areas at your assessment.
Do I need a hip replacement?
Physiotherapy can significantly reduce pain and improve function in hip osteoarthritis and delay or avoid the need for surgery in many cases.
How long does hip rehabilitation take?
Most hip tendinopathies respond well within 8 to 12 weeks. Your physio will advise you at your first appointment.
Can I exercise with hip pain?
Yes in most cases. The right exercise is one of the most powerful treatments for hip pain. We will guide you on exactly what to do and what to avoid.
