Hip Physiotherapy In Melbourne

Hip pain can start to affect much more than the hip itself.

Walking becomes shorter. Hills and stairs become harder. Sleeping on your side is uncomfortable. Pilates, gym, golf, tennis or hiking gradually become things you modify or avoid.

​

The first step is understanding what is most likely contributing to your symptoms and what your hip currently tolerates.

​

I’m Emma Glynn, an APA Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist with more than 13 years of experience and a clinical focus on hip and knee rehabilitation.

​

I see adults with hip pain from our clinic in Camberwell, Melbourne, with rehabilitation tailored to your symptoms, goals and current level of activity.

Physiotherapy for Hip and Buttock Pain

Persistent hip pain can make everyday activities such as walking, stairs, sitting, sleeping or exercise frustrating.

​

Physiotherapy can help by assessing the likely clinical pattern, identifying relevant strength or movement limitations, and developing an individual rehabilitation plan based on your symptoms and goals.

What To Expect In Your First Session

  • History and goals – what has been happening and what you want to get back to

  • Movement and strength assessment – based on your specific presentation

  • Clinical explanation – what the findings suggest and whether further investigation may be useful

  • Starter rehabilitation plan – exercises and activity changes matched to your current tolerance

  • Next steps – how rehabilitation can be progressed over the following weeks

Our Treatment Approach

Hip physiotherapy may include:

  • Progressive strength training – building the capacity needed for walking, stairs, gym and sport

  • Mobility work where needed – improving movement when a genuine restriction is relevant

  • Activity modification – temporarily adjusting aggravating loads without unnecessarily stopping activity

  • Hands-on treatment where useful – as an adjunct for short-term pain or stiffness

  • Return-to-sport or activity rehabilitation – gradually rebuilding the demands needed for your chosen activity

 

The aim is not to “correct” every movement difference. It is to identify what appears clinically relevant to your symptoms and function.

Ready to Have Your Hip Assessed?

If hip pain is limiting your walking, sleep, gym, Pilates or sport, a physiotherapy assessment can help clarify what may be contributing and what rehabilitation approach is appropriate.

​

You’ll receive an individual assessment and a plan tailored to your symptoms, current capacity and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

It hurts to sleep on my side, what can I do tonight?

A pillow between the knees may make side-lying more comfortable, and avoiding prolonged pressure directly on the painful hip can help some people.

 

If night pain persists or is worsening, an assessment can help determine whether the symptoms fit a lateral hip pain pattern or another condition.

 

Is walking good or bad for hip pain?

Walking is often appropriate, but the right dose depends on your symptoms.

 

If longer walks consistently cause a significant flare, distance, pace or terrain may need to be adjusted temporarily and rebuilt gradually.

 

Is this bursitis or gluteal tendinopathy - does it change treatment?

These labels can overlap within greater trochanteric pain syndrome.

 

Assessment focuses on the overall clinical pattern and which loads appear to aggravate symptoms, rather than relying on one label alone.
