Hip Pain

Big joint. Bigger consequences.

Hip pain rarely starts, or stays in the hips.

Your hips absorb more force than any other joint in your body.

That’s why even subtle imbalances can have a big impact.

Hip pain can show up as:

• Stiffness when standing
• Sharp pain with movement
• Aching at night
• A nagging feeling of restriction that won’t go away.
• Old injuries or trauma (including falls or repetitive strain)
• Compensation from foot, knee, or spinal issues

Over time, it starts to change how you move, sit, walk, and even stand. And without realising it, tightness creeps into your lower back, pelvis, or knees — creating a chain reaction your body can’t ignore.

As the pressure builds, your body starts to compensate, shifting stress into muscles and joints that were never designed to carry it. That’s when the pain starts.

Common causes of hip pain:

Common causes of hip pain include:

• Joint restriction or degeneration
• Pelvic imbalance or instability
• Muscle strain from overuse or poor mechanics
• Postural collapse affecting the pelvis and spine
• Old injuries or trauma (including falls or repetitive strain)
• Compensation from foot, knee, or spinal issues

So what can you do?

You can ice it, stretch it, rest it.
But if your hip pain is part of a bigger structural imbalance, treating the symptom won’t break the cycle.
