Hip Labral Tear

A hip labral tear occurs when the cartilage ring (labrum) that lines the hip socket is damaged. This can cause groin pain, clicking, locking, or a sense of instability in the hip. Labral tears may develop from sports that involve twisting and pivoting, structural variations in hip anatomy, or gradual wear over time. Rehabilitation focuses on: restoring hip stability, reducing pain, improving joint mobility, and strengthening the surrounding muscles to protect the joint and prevent reinjury.

Hip Bursitis

Hip bursitis is the inflammation of the bursae — fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint. The most common type, trochanteric bursitis, causes pain on the outside of the hip, often made worse by walking, climbing stairs, or lying on the affected side. It can result from repetitive friction, muscle weakness, or poor movement mechanics. Rehabilitation focuses on: reducing inflammation, correcting muscle imbalances, improving hip strength and flexibility, and adjusting movement patterns to reduce irritation.

Hip Osteoarthritis

Hip osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition where the cartilage that cushions the hip joint gradually wears down. This leads to stiffness, deep aching pain in the groin or thigh, and reduced range of motion. Symptoms typically progress with age, joint overuse, or previous hip injury. Rehabilitation focuses on: reducing pain, maintaining hip flexibility, strengthening the muscles around the joint, and supporting long-term function to slow the progression of symptoms.

Hip Impingement (FAI – Femoroacetabular Impingement)

FAI occurs when abnormal bone shapes on the femoral head or hip socket cause the bones to rub together, restricting movement and damaging joint cartilage. It commonly causes groin pain during sitting, squatting, or twisting, and can increase the risk of labral tears and arthritis if untreated. Rehabilitation focuses on: improving hip mobility, strengthening stabilising muscles, correcting movement patterns, and reducing stress on the joint.

Hip Flexor Strain

A hip flexor strain happens when one or more of the muscles at the front of the hip (such as the iliopsoas or rectus femoris) are overstretched or torn. It usually causes sharp pain when lifting the leg, sprinting, or kicking, and is common in sports involving explosive movements. Rehabilitation focuses on: relieving pain, restoring flexibility, gradually strengthening the hip flexors and surrounding muscles, and building resilience to prevent recurrence.

Gluteal Tendinopathy

Gluteal tendinopathy involves irritation or degeneration of the gluteus medius and minimus tendons, often mistaken for bursitis. It causes outer hip pain, worsened by walking, climbing stairs, or lying on the side. Rehabilitation focuses on: progressive tendon loading, hip strengthening, and correcting movement mechanics.

Sacroiliac Joint Pain

SI joint pain occurs when the joint linking the pelvis and spine becomes irritated or unstable. This often causes deep buttock pain that can radiate into the hip or thigh, worsened by prolonged sitting or standing. Rehabilitation focuses on: restoring pelvic stability, strengthening surrounding muscles, and improving movement control.

Hip Fractures (Stress Fractures)

Hip stress fractures occur when small cracks form in the bone due to repetitive loading, often in runners or those with reduced bone density. Symptoms include groin pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest. Rehabilitation focuses on: gradual loading, strength training, and addressing contributing factors like biomechanics or nutrition.

General Hip Pain / Postural Hip Pain

Not all hip pain comes from a single diagnosis — poor posture, muscle imbalances, or prolonged sitting can all trigger discomfort in the hip and groin area. Left untreated, these issues may lead to more significant problems. Rehabilitation focuses on: identifying the movement cause, improving strength and flexibility, and preventing flare-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes hip pain?

Hip pain can come from many sources including arthritis, bursitis, labral tears, muscle strains, or issues with posture and movement patterns. Sometimes the pain is felt in the hip even though the true cause is elsewhere in the body. That is why a full assessment is so important.

Is hip pain always arthritis?

Not always. While hip osteoarthritis is common, many people with hip pain actually have muscle, tendon, or movement-related issues that can be treated effectively without surgery.

Why does my hip hurt at night?

Night-time hip pain is often linked to bursitis, tendon irritation, or muscle imbalances that put pressure on the joint when lying down. Addressing the root cause can ease the pain and help you sleep more comfortably.

Do I need a scan or X-ray for hip pain?

Most people do not need a scan to begin treatment. A detailed movement assessment often reveals the true cause of hip pain without the need for imaging. Scans may be recommended only if there are red flag symptoms or if progress is limited.

What happens in my first appointment?

Your first session includes a detailed assessment of your hip and whole-body movement, hands-on treatment to ease pain, and a personalised rehab plan to start building strength and mobility straight away.

Can I keep exercising with hip pain?

In many cases, yes. Complete rest is rarely the answer. The key is identifying which movements to adjust and which to strengthen. At Sportivo, we help you stay active safely while working on your recovery.
