Let’s fix your hip pain.

Hip pain can happen for many reasons, like a hip labral tear, muscle weakness, or hip osteoarthritis — none of which are fun!

Whether it’s hip impingement, bursitis, tendon issues, or something else, hip pain can make walking, sitting, or exercising difficult.

Sports injuries, especially ones that affect the hip joint, can lead to long-term discomfort or even sharp pain during hip flexion.

The good news is, we can help! At Elite HP, we’ve worked with all types of hips, from sports-related injuries to general wear and tear.

We offer expert chiropractic and physiotherapy care to get to the root of your hip pain and create a treatment plan that restores strength, mobility, and comfort.

    • Muscle imbalances or poor posture

    • Sudden increase in physical activity

How do we treat Hip pain?

Chiropractic or physiotherapy for hip pain starts with a detailed assessment to identify the root cause, whether it’s related to joint mechanics, muscle imbalances, or posture. From there, we design a personalised plan to ease pain, improve function, and stop it from recurring. Common treatments include:

  • A person receives physical therapy, stretching arm; mirrored reflection.

    Active Release Technique

    Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands-on treatment used to release tight or injured muscles, tendons, and fascia around the hip. By applying pressure while moving the hip through specific ranges, we break up adhesions and restore normal movement. This technique is ideal for conditions like hip impingement or hip flexor strain.

  • Close-up of acupuncture needles in a person's shoulder during treatment

    Dry Needling

    Dry needling targets tight trigger points in the hip and surrounding muscles. It helps reduce deep muscle tension, improve range of motion, and ease pain, especially useful for chronic tightness or hip pain that doesn’t respond to stretching, massage, or standard treatment alone. It also promotes faster recovery and healing.

    Exercise Therapy

    As pain settles, we introduce tailored exercises to rebuild hip strength, mobility, and balance. These movements help correct imbalances, improve stability, and support long-term recovery, whether your hip pain is from sport, work, or daily activities. Consistency delivers lasting results, confidence, and reduces risk of reinjury.

    Joint Mobilisation

    We use gentle mobilisation techniques to improve joint movement and reduce stiffness in the hip or pelvis. This is especially helpful when joint restrictions contribute to pain, pinching, or limited mobility during daily movement.
