Hip Pain & Injury

HIP PAIN AND INJURY TREATMENT IN LANARKSHIRE.

Hip injuries are common among adults of all ages and can stem from various causes, including trauma, wear and tear, or underlying conditions. Whether you're a professional athlete, someone who enjoys sports as a hobby, or trying to age gracefully, hip pain can be a major setback, making it difficult to move, train or perform at your best. Athletes are often prone to hip pain from overuse or injury, while older adults may experience degenerative conditions that affect the hip joint.

​

Team MT treat a wide range of hip injuries and conditions. Our experienced team is dedicated to helping you recover and get back to the activities you love, as quickly and safely as possible.

​

HOW IS THE HIP STRUCTURED?

 

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for a wide range of movement while providing stability to support the body’s weight. Its key role as the connection between the lower limbs and the pelvis means that hip pain requires a thorough assessment to pinpoint the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.

​

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF HIP PAIN AND INJURIES?

 

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of hip pain, particularly in older adults. It’s a condition where the cartilage that cushions the bones in the joint breaks down over time, leading to stiffness, reduced mobility, and chronic pain.

​

For adolescent athletes, hip pain can also be a concern, as growing bodies are more susceptible to specific conditions. Issues like Perthes disease and Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis (SUFE) are relatively common and should be addressed early to prevent long-term problems. Team MT are here to help you understand the cause of your hip pain and guide you through a tailored recovery plan.

​

Other potential causes of hip pain include:

​

• Femoro-acetabular Impingement (FAI)

• Hip flexor or adductor muscle tears

• Referred pain from the lumbar spine or sacroiliac joint (SIJ)

• Stress fractures of the femur or pubic bone

• Labral tears

• Hip dysplasia

• Tendinopathy (adductor or gluteal tendons)

• Trauma

• Ilio-Tibial Band issues

• Snapping Hip Syndrome

• Various types of hernia

​

No matter the cause of your hip pain, early diagnosis and appropriate care are essential for a full recovery. Tendon injuries, in particular, can take time to heal, so we recommend checking in with your assigned physiotherapist between treatment sessions to speed up recovery and ensure long-term health.​​
