Understanding Pelvis, Hip & Groin Pain and Injuries
What Causes Pelvis, Hip & Groin Pain?
Injury
Acute injuries such as muscle strains, fractures, or tears in the cartilage can result from sports, falls, or accidents, leading to significant pain and mobility issues.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
After surgeries involving the pelvis, hip, or groin, rehabilitation is essential to restore function, rebuild strength, and prevent complications.
Postural Issues
Poor posture or movement patterns can contribute to pelvic misalignment or hip instability, leading to chronic pain or injury over time.
Degenerative Conditions
Conditions such as osteoarthritis or labral tears can develop over time, particularly with age, and may cause ongoing discomfort and reduced mobility.
Some Symptoms of Pelvis, Hip & Groin Pain
Localised Pain
Pain may be felt directly in the groin, hip, or pelvis, often worsening with movement or activity.
Stiffness and Limited Mobility
Injuries or degenerative conditions can cause stiffness in the hip joint, making it difficult to walk, bend, or perform daily activities.
Weakness and Instability
Muscle weakness or joint instability can cause difficulty in maintaining balance and stability during movement.
Clicking, Popping or Snapping
You may experience a clicking, popping or snapping sound in the hip during movement.
Radiating Pain
Pain radiating from the groin to thigh or lower back.
Common Pelvis, Hip & Groin Conditions We Treat
At Melbourne Physio Clinic, we offer expert treatment for a variety of pelvis, hip, and groin conditions, including:
-
Poor posture or movement mechanics can lead to chronic pelvic or hip pain, especially during activities like walking or standing.
-
After surgery or fractures of the pelvis, hip, or groin, rehabilitation is critical to restore function and mobility.
-
Sudden muscle or ligament strains in the hip or groin can occur during sports or physical activity, resulting in sharp pain and loss of movement.
-
Tears in the cartilage of the hip joint can cause pain, clicking, or instability, often requiring targeted physiotherapy for recovery.
-
Tears in the muscles surrounding the hip or groin can occur from overuse or traumatic injury, leading to pain and difficulty moving the affected area.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy offers an effective approach to treating pelvis, hip, and groin pain. Our physiotherapists use a combination of manual therapy, strength training, and movement re-education to alleviate pain, restore function, and enhance mobility.
Pain Management
We use techniques like soft tissue massage, joint mobilisations, and other manual therapies to reduce pain and inflammation in the pelvis, hip, and groin areas.
Restoring Mobility
Our individualised exercise programs are designed to improve flexibility and strength in the hips and groin, helping you return to normal activities.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
For those recovering from surgery, we provide targeted rehabilitation to help you regain movement and strength while minimising the risk of re-injury.
Preventing Future Injury
Our physiotherapists will work with you to correct postural issues, improve muscle balance, and educate you on movement strategies to prevent future injuries.
Our Treatment Approach
Initial Assessment
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to identify the root cause of your hip, pelvis, or groin discomfort. This involves a thorough physical assessment, where we examine your posture, movement patterns, and muscle strength. Additionally, we discuss your symptoms, daily activities, and personal goals to understand how the injury impacts your life.
Customised Treatment Plan
Following the assessment, we design a personalised treatment plan focused on your specific condition—whether it's related to muscular strain, joint dysfunction, or ligament injury. Your plan will be tailored to help you recover and return to your normal activities as safely and quickly as possible.
Hands-on Techniques
We use manual therapy techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, and myofascial release to alleviate pain and restore movement in the hip, pelvis, and groin region. These techniques also help improve circulation and reduce muscle tension.
Post-Surgical Rehab
If you are recovering from surgery, such as a hip replacement, labral repair, or fracture, we provide a structured post-surgical rehabilitation program. This focuses on restoring strength, mobility, and function, while minimising the risk of further complications or injury recurrence.
Melbourne Physio Clinic Top Tips for Pelvis, Hip & Groin Pain Management
