If you're active, hip pain and stiffness might be caused by Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI), where the hip bones (the ball and socket) rub together. This simple guide explains why this happens (from Cam or Pincer bone bumps), what symptoms to look for, and the best way to get better. We give you a clear, step-by-step physiotherapy plan and exercises to strengthen your hip and get you moving without pain again.

Hip impingement also known as femoroacetabular impingement occurs when there is abnormal contact between the hip’s bones. Anyone can have hip impingement although it is often diagnosed in active people in their 20s, 30s and 40s. This information page is designed to help you understand your diagnosis and by following these exercises, we will guide you through each step on your return to activities of daily living or any sporting goals you have.

Feeling a little stiffer in the mornings? You aren't alone. Osteoarthritis in the hip is a normal part of aging, but that doesn't mean you have to live with the discomfort. In this post, we explore exactly what’s happening to your joints and share practical, everyday tips to help you manage the pain and get moving again.

Ready to take control of your Hip Osteoarthritis treatment? This isn't just a list of movements—it's your Level 3 roadmap to stronger muscles, better stability, and less pain. We've compiled the most effective exercises (like the High Step-Up and Single Leg Bridge) and the essential stretches (hello, glute and hip flexor relief!) designed specifically to improve hip function.

In hip dysplasia, the shallow hip socket often causes the primary stabilizing muscles, especially the gluteal muscles (gluteus medius and minimus), to become weak or inhibited. This lack of dynamic stability forces other muscles to overwork, leading to altered movement patterns and pain. Our physiotherapy program focuses specifically on targeted muscle activation exercises designed to restore the optimal function of these key stabilisers.

The initial 6 to 8 weeks post-PAO are vital for setting the stage for a successful recovery. We start with gentle range of motion exercises to prevent joint stiffness and promote muscle activation. These specific movements are designed to encourage blood circulation, which is crucial for healing and reducing the risk of blood clots.

Receiving a diagnosis of hip dysplasia can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. Understanding what this condition means is the first step toward taking control of your recovery.
