- Hip and groin pain is very common in our society today due to the sedentary nature of our working lives. The main cause of hip pain is not actually the hip itself but more the way we are using our hip on a day to day basis.
- Signs of Hip Pain: Deep ache in front, side or back of hip, referred pain down but not past your knee and pain twisting and turning.
- Signs of Groin Pain: you may notice sharp pains on the inside of the groin when twisting and turning, such as when getting out of a car or changing direction whilst running.
- While your symptoms may be coming from a structure in your hip or groin the true cause of your pain will be coming from the way you move which can be influenced by tight/ weak muscles from sitting.
The hip and groin are a very complex areas of the body with many structures that can be causing pain. This means a very through examination is required to:
- Find out what structure is causing your pain.
- Establish what muscles are not working correctly to cause that structure to become over loaded.
- Programming the correct combination of exercises to strengthen that hip and allow you to move efficiently in many different directions without re injuring that hip.
