Hip and groin pain can stem from a variety of sources and lead to discomfort or difficulty with daily activities. Common causes include muscle strains, hip arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis. Groin pain may also arise from sports hernias, hip labral tears, or issues with the hip flexor muscles.

A physiotherapist can help diagnose the underlying cause of your hip or groin pain and create a customized treatment plan. This may include stretches, strengthening exercises, manual therapy techniques, dry needling, or other modalities to reduce pain and improve function. Getting an accurate diagnosis is key, as proper treatment depends on pinpointing the source of the pain. Don’t neglect lingering hip or groin pain – see a physiotherapist for an assessment and start down the path toward relief.
