Hip pain · Botley, Oxford
Groin pain and pain on the outside of the hip need different treatment. At our Botley clinic, a chartered, HCPC-registered physiotherapist distinguishes femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) from lateral hip pain or trochanteric bursitis, then begins treatment in the same visit.
Deep groin pain, pinching with sitting, squatting or crossing the legs, and reduced hip movement associated with femoroacetabular impingement.
Pain over the outside of the hip, tenderness and night pain when lying on the affected side, often involving the gluteal tendons and bursa.
Pain going upstairs, walking uphill, running or changing direction, with progressive rehabilitation matched to your daily and sporting goals.
FAI describes contact between the ball and socket of the hip in certain positions. The shape seen on a scan does not determine pain by itself, so we assess movement, strength and symptom behaviour before deciding what needs changing.
Outer-hip pain is frequently driven by gluteal tendon overload, sometimes with irritation of the nearby bursa. Treatment avoids compressive positions initially, then builds hip strength and tolerance progressively.
We examine the hip, back and surrounding muscles to identify whether pain is coming from the joint, outer-hip tendons, bursa or referred structures.
Manual therapy and practical changes to sitting, stairs, sleep and training reduce irritation while keeping you active.
Progressive exercise rehabilitation restores hip and gluteal strength. Focused shockwave may support persistent gluteal tendinopathy where appropriate.
Initial assessment £75 (45 min) · Assessment with diagnostic ultrasound scan £150 (60 min) · Follow-up treatment £60 (30 min).See full physiotherapy prices and our treatments in Oxford.
