Hip pain is often more complex than it first appears.
While many people assume it’s simply “tight hips,” symptoms can actually come from a range of structures including the hip joint itself, the lower back, bursae, or muscular overload patterns.
One condition is Hip Impingement (FAI). This occurs when the shape of the hip joint leads to abnormal contact during movement, creating a pinching sensation that can gradually irritate the joint and surrounding tissues.
Common symptoms include deep groin pain, discomfort with sitting, squatting, running, or a catching sensation in the hip.
From an osteopathic perspective, hip pain rarely exists in isolation. We look at how the hip, pelvis, and spine work together and how movement patterns, load distribution, and muscular control contribute to symptoms.
Treatment focuses on improving mobility, reducing compensatory tension, and restoring more efficient movement patterns through hands-on care and rehabilitation.
If your hip pain isn’t settling, it’s worth getting a full assessment.
