Hip Pain: Assessment and Physiotherapy Options

Learn about common causes of hip pain, why assessment matters and how physiotherapy may help with movement and activity goals.

Hip pain can arise from different structures and conditions, and symptoms may also come from the back or nearby areas. An assessment helps guide management rather than relying on the location of pain alone.

What can contribute to hip pain?

Possible causes include muscle or tendon problems, joint conditions, referred pain and injuries. Age, activity, medical history and symptom pattern all inform the assessment.

How physiotherapy may help

Depending on the findings, a plan may include education, progressive strengthening, movement modification and a graded return to relevant activities. The right program is specific to your diagnosis, capacity and preferences.

When to seek urgent medical care

Get urgent medical help after a significant injury, if you cannot bear weight, if a joint becomes hot and swollen with fever, or if pain is severe or rapidly worsening. Seek medical review for persistent symptoms.

Important: This article is general educational information, not personal medical advice or a diagnosis. If you have symptoms that are severe, sudden, unexplained or worsening, seek appropriate medical assessment. In an emergency in Australia, call 000.
