There are many different types of hip injuries and causes which include;

  • Groin muscle tear – e.g. can occur with changing speed, changing direction, poor kicking techniques or a direct blow.
  • Hip joint injuries, where the covering of the bone (cartilage) or shock absorber the labrum, can occur with sudden movements including a fall or with repetitive movements or whilst cycling or running.
  • Osteoarthritis in the hip as a result of prolonged or repetitive movement and with age.
  • A CAM deformity in the hip is due to repetitive movement especially repeated flexion bending, squats or cycling.
  • Overuse of muscles leading to muscle tightness in buttock, the thigh and iliotibial band leading to hip and knee injuries.
  • Congenital or birth deformities in the hip can increase the possibility of osteoarthritis in the hip.

We combine a thoughtful, thorough assessment to give you a clear picture of your problem, with a hands on approach to release tightened muscles and joints.
