Hip Arthritis Physiotherapy in Gorey
Hip arthritis occurs when the cartilage within the hip joint gradually wears down over time. This can lead to pain, stiffness and reduced mobility. See our Hip Pain page for a broader overview.
Symptoms of Hip Arthritis
- Stiffness in the hip joint
- Pain when walking
- Reduced range of motion
- Difficulty putting on shoes or socks
How Physiotherapy Helps
Although arthritis cannot be reversed, physiotherapy and exercise can significantly improve symptoms. Strengthening the muscles around the hip helps support the joint and reduce strain.
Patients with hip arthritis often benefit from structured strengthening programmes in our lower limb rehabilitation classes, where exercises can be progressed safely under physiotherapy supervision.
Stiff Hip in the Morning
Morning stiffness in the hip is often associated with joint irritation or arthritis. Many people notice that their hip feels stiff when they first get out of bed but gradually loosens with movement. Regular exercise and physiotherapy treatment can help improve mobility and reduce stiffness.
