Hip Pain Physiotherapy in Harrow

Specialist hip physiotherapy in Harrow for arthritis, bursitis, labral tears and groin pain.

Understanding Hip Pain

Hip pain affects everything from how you walk to how you sleep. Whether it's hip arthritis slowly limiting your daily life, trochanteric bursitis on the side of the hip, a sports-related labral tear, or persistent groin pain, hip problems rarely improve on their own — they need targeted intervention.

At MSK & Sports Physio in Harrow, we assess the hip as part of a wider chain — looking at your lower back, pelvis, and lower limbs — to identify the real driver. Whether the goal is to avoid surgery, prepare for surgery, or recover from it, we'll build a programme that fits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I eventually need a hip replacement?

Not necessarily. Many people with hip arthritis manage successfully for years (or indefinitely) with structured strengthening. We focus on maximising function and delaying or avoiding surgery.

Can I keep running with hip pain?

It depends on the cause. Some hip issues respond well to load management while running; others need a temporary pause. We'll do a running assessment and advise.

Is my back pain actually from my hip?

Often, yes. The hip and lumbar spine influence each other significantly. We assess the whole region to pinpoint the true source.
