Hip pain is a common problem that can affect people of all ages and activity levels, often causing discomfort, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Whether the pain develops gradually or follows an injury, hip pain can make everyday movements such as walking, sitting, or standing difficult. At Fortress Sports Therapy, we help identify the cause of hip pain and provide effective treatment to support recovery and long-term movement.

Hip pain can arise from several factors. Muscle strains or tightness around the hip flexors, glutes, or groin are frequent causes, often linked to overuse, sudden increases in activity, or poor movement patterns. Joint-related issues such as arthritis or labral problems may also contribute to discomfort and restricted movement. Prolonged sitting, poor posture, or imbalances in strength and flexibility can place additional stress on the hips. Injuries from sport, falls, or repetitive impact activities can further increase the risk of hip pain.

Managing hip pain often begins with improving mobility and strength around the hip and pelvis. Gentle stretching can help relieve tension and improve range of motion, while targeted strengthening exercises support joint stability and reduce strain. Staying active with low-impact activities such as walking or cycling can aid circulation and promote healing. Heat may help relax tight muscles, while ice can be useful for managing inflammation following injury or flare-ups.

Professional support should be considered if hip pain persists, worsens, or limits your ability to move comfortably. At Fortress Sports Therapy, we assess the root cause of hip pain and create personalised treatment plans designed to restore function and reduce discomfort.
