Hip pain can severely limit your daily mobility, transforming routine activities like climbing stairs, getting out of a car, or sleeping on your side into a painful challenge. Because the hip is a major weight-bearing joint, pain in this area often leads to compensatory limping, which can quickly trigger secondary strain in your lower back or knees.

At Scarborough Physio & Health, we conduct detailed biomechanical assessments to understand why your hip is under stress, looking closely at pelvic stability, gluteal muscle capacity, and lumbar spine interaction.

COMMON HIP CONDITIONS WE TREAT

Your hip is a deep ball-and-socket joint supported by strong muscles and tendons. When it gets irritated, the pain can settle in your groin, the side of your hip, or deep in your glutes. At Scarborough Physio & Health, our senior team frequently treats:

• Hip Arthritis & Joint Stiffness: Natural wear and tear that leads to deep groin aching, morning stiffness, and difficulty tying your shoes or getting out of low chairs.
• Outer Hip Pain & Bursitis: That burning pain on the side of your hip that hurts when you lie on it at night, walk up hills, or sit with your legs crossed.
• Groin Pinching (Hip Impingement): A sharp, catching sensation in the front of your hip or groin when you squat deep, sit for long periods in the car, or bring your knees to your chest.
• Cartilage & Labral Tears: Injury or fraying to the cushioning ring inside your hip socket, which can cause deep aching, clicking, or a feeling that your hip is catching.
• Groin & Inner Thigh Strains: Pulled or strained muscles along the inside of your thigh that hurt when kicking, running, or changing direction quickly.
• Total Hip Replacement Rehab: Step-by-step guidance before and after joint surgery to help you regain your strength, ditch walking aids safely, and walk with confidence.
