HIP
PAIN AND GROIN STRAINS
Hip Pain
A hip replacement is one of the most common operations due to
severe arthritis in the joint. One contributory factor to arthritis
of the hip is restricted hip movement. If you are experiencing
niggly groin pains then this may be causing your hip to stiffen
up. Hip degeneration can also refer pain to the knee without any
hip pain. Physiotherapy helps restore hip mobility and muscle
strength to relieve pain and help prevent further degeneration
of the joint.
Groin Strains
Groin pain is usually a result of a problem with the muscles that
move the hip. The muscle which flexes the hip is also attached
to the spine so back problems are often associated with hip pain
(even if you do not have back pain).
Common symptoms of both hip pain and
groin strains:
Pain bending over or flexing your leg up to put
shoes or socks on
Pain walking up or down hills
Pain turning over in bed and stiffness in the mornings
Pain getting up from sitting
Pain during or after sport or activity e.g. gardening
