How Physiotherapy Can Help

Physiotherapy is highly effective in managing hip and groin pain. Our tailored treatments focus on reducing pain, improving muscle strength, and enhancing mobility to help you return to your daily activities and sports with confidence.

Why Accurate Diagnosis Matters

The hip and groin area is complex, involving numerous structures that can make diagnosis and treatment challenging. Additionally, low back or pelvic pain often refers to the hip and groin, making a precise diagnosis essential for effective treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Yes, exercises like side planks, clamshells, adductor squeezes, and hip bridges are great for strengthening the hip and groin area.
