Our physio staff are highly qualified university graduates with expert knowledge & skills in the pre

Five Dock Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre was established in the early 1990s, initially located next door and then moved into Five Dock Medical Centre in 2006. The practice has since grown and we now have two full time physiotherapists in our clinic with another physio set to start at the end of the year. Our staff pride themselves in being members of the Australian Physiotherapy Association

(APA), Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Australia and Sports Physiotherapy Australia and all physios are graduates of the highly regarded Sydney University. As a team our physios have a particular interest in not only treating our patients current symptoms, but also in injury prevention and addressing the biomechanical compensations that occur with injury. We firmly believe that if these abnormal compensations are not corrected, surrounding musculoskeletal structures will be adversely affected and a recurrent or chronic condition is likely to develop. Five Dock Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre has been affiliated with various sporting clubs and teams over the years providing on-field coverage and treatment for both male and female competitors, but we certainly do not only deal with sports people. We thus treat a range of Injury Areas both with the sporting population and the general public.

When hip pain is more than "just bursitis" 🏃‍♀️

Bayleigh was training for a marathon when hip and buttock pain started to develop.

Her X-ray was normal and an ultrasound suggested bursitis.

But her symptoms and clinical assessment didn't quite add up.

Further investigation with an MRI revealed an incomplete femoral neck stress fracture.

With the correct diagnosis and a carefully staged rehabilitation program, Bayleigh was able to return to running—and has since completed two half marathons and a HYROX event. 💪

What this case highlights:

🟢 Not all hip pain is bursitis
🟢 A normal X-ray doesn't always rule out a bone stress injury
🟢 Clinical assessment matters
🟢 The right diagnosis guides the right rehabilitation

🏃 More kilometres doesn't always mean better training.

Research shows that big increases in weekly running distance are one of the most common triggers for bone stress injuries. (Warden et al., 2021).

Your fitness might improve quickly...

Your bones don't.

Bones adapt to training, but they need time to become stronger. Increasing your weekly kilometres too quickly can overload the bone before it's had a chance to adapt.

The key is to build gradually.

✅ Increase your training progressively
✅ Allow time for recovery
✅ Listen to persistent aches and pains
✅ Address pain early before it becomes something more serious

Whether you're training for City2Surf, a marathon or your next parkrun, staying consistent is far better than making big jumps in training.

Early assessment can help identify overload injuries before they become bone stress injuries and keep your training on track.

💥 A "normal" scan doesn't always mean there's nothing wrong.
Research shows that scan findings don't always match a person's pain or physical function. (Jensen et al., 2020).

Many people are told:
🩻 "Your scan looks normal."

But they're still dealing with pain.

Others have scans showing disc bulges or degeneration... yet have little or no symptoms.

That's why treating the person—not just the scan—is so important.

At Total Body Physio, we'll help you:
🟢 Identify what's driving your symptoms
🟢 Assess your strength, movement and function
🟢 Develop a personalised treatment plan
🟢 Help you return to work, sport and everyday life with confidence

The best treatment starts with understanding how your back moves, not just what your scan shows.

Experiencing nagging hip or groin pain when you run? 🏃‍♀️💨 Don’t ignore it. It could be a stress fracture.

Here are 3 key warning signs to watch out for:
1️⃣ Pain that gets worse as you run (it doesn’t warm up and fade away like normal muscle soreness).
2️⃣ Pain that lingers at rest (aching during the night or first thing in the morning).
3️⃣ Sharp pain with impact or hopping (feeling a sharp, focal pinch on single-leg landings is a major red flag 🚩).

Don’t try to push through it. Get a professional assessment for clarity and peace of mind.

🦵 Not every hip "bursitis" is just bursitis.
Pain on the outside of your hip isn't always caused by inflammation.

If you experience sharp pain when hopping on one leg, it's worth having it assessed. While many cases are caused by tendon or bursa irritation, similar symptoms can sometimes indicate a bone stress injury or another condition that requires different management.

At Total Body Physio, a thorough assessment helps us determine what's really causing your pain and whether further investigation, such as imaging, may be appropriate.

A comprehensive assessment may include:
🟢 Understanding how your pain started
🟢 Assessing your strength and movement
🟢 Functional tests, such as a single-leg hop
🟢 Identifying whether further investigations are needed
🟢 Developing the right rehabilitation plan for your injury

The right diagnosis is the first step towards the right recovery.
