Hip Pain
At Alpha physiotherapy we know how that hip pain can affect your life. Daily discomfort, clicking, stiffness, inflammation- all of which can stop your active lifestyle, family life and time with your friends!
If you’re currently suffering with hip pain, it is tempting to think that your symptoms will just improve with time. However, hip pain can be complicated and often needs comprehensive physiotherapy in order to improve symptoms.
We see many clients that visit us each week who have been told it’s a ‘tight hip flexor’ and they haven’t improved. Often a thorough hip exam will highlight something else, and with correct treatment will improve.
If you have hip and groin pain come visit our physiotherapy clinic in Martlesham, Ipswich.
If You Are Currently Living With Hip Pain, Here’s 6 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
1. You Waited For The Pain To Go Away, Resting It For A Long Time,
Yet the pain is now back with a vengeance and you are now stiffer, less mobile and certainly less happy.
2. You Visited The GP To Be Prescribed Painkillers.
Yet once they wore off the pain returned and it is now making your health suffer and making you feel low in mood.
3. You’ve Stop Doing Your Normal Activities And/Or Have Been On Light Duties At Work.
Yet it is still not getting better, and now you are weaker and stiffer than you were before.
4. You Have Tried Some Massage Hoping It Would Fix The Pain, Which Was Relaxing.
However it didn’t do anything in the long term to fix the issue.
5. You Now Believe Your Pain Is Age Related And Nothing Can Be Done For It
Which simply isn’t true.
6. You’ve Tried Other Healthcare Providers.
But nothing they said or did seemed to help resolve the problem long term.
