Hip Pain Physiotherapy in Gorey
Hip pain can affect people of all ages and activity levels. It may develop gradually due to overuse, muscle weakness or arthritis, or occur more suddenly following an injury.
The hip plays a key role in walking, running and everyday movement. When the muscles, tendons or joint structures around the hip become irritated, pain and stiffness can develop. At Physio Solutions in Gorey, we carry out a detailed assessment to identify the source of your pain and develop a rehabilitation plan tailored to your goals.
Common Hip Conditions We Treat
Our Approach: Diagnose, Treat, Rehabilitate
Diagnose – identify the cause of your hip pain.
Treat – reduce pain and restore movement.
Rehabilitate – rebuild strength and function.
Understanding Hip Pain
Hip pain is often caused by a combination of factors rather than a single issue. These may include:
- Reduced strength in the gluteal muscles
- Overload of tendons
- Changes in activity or training load
- Altered movement patterns
- Stiffness in the hip or lower back
A physiotherapy assessment helps identify these contributing factors and guide the right treatment plan.
How Physiotherapy Helps Hip Pain
Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and restoring normal movement. Physiotherapy may include:
- Exercise rehabilitation – progressive strengthening to improve hip stability and load tolerance.
- Manual therapy – hands-on treatment to improve joint movement and reduce stiffness.
- Movement assessment – identifying patterns that may contribute to pain.
- Activity modification – guidance on staying active while recovering.
Strength, Stability & Return to Activity
The hip plays a central role in lower limb function. Weakness or poor control at the hip can contribute to knee pain, running injuries and groin pain. Rehabilitation focuses on improving strength and control to support a safe return to walking, running, sport and gym activity.
Lower Limb Strength & Rehab Classes
For many hip conditions, structured strength training is an important part of recovery. We offer small group rehabilitation classes in our gym, limited to four participants, allowing physiotherapists to supervise exercises closely while progressing strength safely.
These classes are particularly helpful for gluteal tendinopathy, hip arthritis, groin injuries, post-operative hip rehabilitation and return-to-sport rehabilitation. Strengthening the lower limb in a structured gym environment often allows patients to progress beyond what is possible in standard appointments.
Excellent Value
Our rehabilitation classes cost €140 for four one-hour sessions – excellent value compared with €60 for a 30-minute physiotherapy appointment, while still allowing expert supervision and progression.
Common Symptoms We Assess
You may benefit from physiotherapy if you experience:
- Pain on the outside of the hip
- Pain lying on your side
- Groin pain during activity
- Stiffness or reduced movement
- Pain when walking or climbing stairs
Early treatment can help prevent symptoms becoming more persistent.
