Hip Pain

101 Physio – we care

At 101 Physio we know you are in significant pain when you visit us for the first time, so we don’t mess you around with symantics and a lot of medical terms. From our initial consultation and assessment of your pain condition, we advise you on the best course of treatment for your specific pain symptoms/condition. In consultation with you we implement a custom treatment and management program.

Why do you get Hip/Waist Pain?

Your Hip/Waist is under constant gravity and movement pressure/stress, your age, child birth in women, lifestyle, work activities, posture, sporting activities, home duties, shopping, carrying, lifting, gardening, sleeping, sitting, driving your car, basically all activities that require body movement can cause Hip/Waist Pain.

Generally, when pain is felt in your Hip/Waist it is caused by muscle strain, joint inflammation/ligament trauma, poor posture, an injury or over-use. Women are more likely to suffer from hip/waist pain by nature and their Musculoskeletal make-up, but many men also suffer from this condition. The good news is most Hip/Waist Pain Conditions are treatable without invasive surgery procedures or drugs.

Treatments to relieve pain, promote relaxation and restore movement, include manipulation, mobilisation, massage and exercises to strengthen your Hip/Waist muscles which helps maintain a healthy lifestyle.
