Hip pain can affect walking, sitting, sleeping, and everyday movement. Whether your symptoms have developed suddenly or built up over time, our focus is on identifying the cause and treating it effectively.
With over 26 years of clinical experience, 69,000 consultations, and more than 7,000 patients treated, we provide trusted, results-focused care for hip pain and related conditions.
Walking or standing
Sitting for long periods
Sleep, particularly lying on one side
Exercise and daily tasks
The hip plays a key role in movement and weight-bearing, helping to transfer force between the upper and lower body.
Because of this, hip problems can sometimes be felt in other areas.
You may notice pain in the groin, outer hip, buttock, or even down the thigh.
Many patients are unsure where their pain is coming from, as hip issues can also be linked to the lower back.
Hip pain can develop for a number of reasons, including:
Muscle strain or overload (glutes, hip flexors, adductors)
Joint restriction
Hip impingement (femoroacetabular impingement – FAI)
Labral irritation or tear
Tendinopathy (long-term tendon irritation)
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (lateral hip pain)
Bursitis (inflammation around the hip joint)
Osteoarthritis and age-related changes
Referred pain from the lower back
Poor movement patterns or biomechanics
Weakness or poor core stability
Repetitive strain or overuse (running, gym, sport)
Previous injuries that have not fully resolved
Often, hip pain develops due to a combination of factors rather than a single cause.
Hip pain is often influenced by how you move and load the joint throughout the day.
Both too much activity and too little movement can aggravate symptoms.
Keep the hip moving within comfortable limits
Avoid prolonged positions
Gradually return to normal activity
Modify movements that aggravate symptoms
Completely avoiding movement can sometimes lead to increased stiffness and reduced function.
Many hip problems are influenced by prolonged sitting and poor positioning throughout the day.
Sitting for long periods without movement
Poor chair support
Crossing legs repeatedly
Sitting unevenly or leaning to one side
can place repeated strain on the hip and surrounding structures.
Over time, this can lead to stiffness, reduced movement, and discomfort.
Taking regular breaks and improving how you sit can make a significant difference.

Yes, problems in the lower back can refer pain into the hip area.
Hip bursitis involves irritation of fluid-filled sacs around the joint, often causing pain on the outer hip.
Gentle walking can help, but it is important to balance activity and avoid overloading the joint.
This depends on the cause, but many patients begin to notice improvement early in treatment with a tailored approach.
Osteopathy may help reduce pain, improve movement, and address underlying causes contributing to symptoms.
If you are struggling with hip pain, the sooner it is assessed, the sooner you can start improving.
