A Smarter Way to Find Lasting Hip Pain Relief

Hip pain can impact much more than the joint itself. It often becomes noticeable during activities such as walking, running, sitting, lifting, or changing direction, and can quickly interfere with both everyday tasks and physical performance.

In some cases, hip discomfort starts after a specific injury. In others, it develops gradually due to repetitive strain, training demands, or movement habits that place ongoing stress on the joint. Frequently, symptoms are influenced by how the hip works together with the spine, pelvis, and lower body, rather than one isolated structure being the sole cause.

At Physora Physio, we help individuals seeking physical therapy for hip pain when discomfort persists, mobility feels limited, or symptoms continue to return despite rest or previous care. Our treatment approach focuses on identifying what is causing excess stress at the hip and addressing the mobility, strength, and movement control limitations contributing to the problem.

Whether your pain feels sharp, deep, or hard to pinpoint, effective care looks beyond the area of discomfort and works to improve how the entire body manages load and movement—supporting both relief and long-term recovery.

Understanding What’s Behind Your Hip Pain

Hip discomfort can stem from a range of conditions, and uncovering the true cause is the first step toward finding lasting relief. At Physora Physio in Neath, our team focuses on evaluating what’s driving your symptoms so your care plan is tailored, effective, and built around your personal goals.

Common Conditions Linked to Hip Pain

Joint Wear (Osteoarthritis)
One of the most frequent sources of hip pain, this condition develops as the cartilage in the joint gradually wears down. It can lead to stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility, making everyday movement more challenging.

Muscle and Tendon Strain
Overuse or sudden stress can irritate or tear the muscles and tendons around the hip, resulting in pain, inflammation, and limited function.

Bursa Inflammation (Bursitis)
The bursa are small, fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint. When they become irritated from repeated pressure or direct impact, sharp pain and tenderness can develop, especially during movement or when pressure is applied.

Labral Tears
This injury affects the cartilage ring that surrounds the hip socket. It’s common among athletes and active individuals and can cause deep, persistent pain in the hip or groin area.

Hip Impingement
This occurs when the shape or movement of the ball-and-socket joint creates extra friction, potentially damaging cartilage and limiting range of motion. Symptoms often worsen during activities that involve bending or rotating the hip.

No matter what’s contributing to your hip discomfort, the team at Physora Physio in Neath is committed to developing a personalized care plan that supports your recovery and long-term movement goals.

How We Help You Recover From Hip Pain

Our research-guided approach focuses on reducing pain, improving joint and tissue mobility, building strength, and enhancing overall function. While every program is customized, your plan may include:

Targeted Exercise Programs
Custom routines designed to improve strength, flexibility, and balance based on your specific needs and recovery goals.

Walking and Movement Retraining
We assess how you walk and move, then guide you through corrections that support better biomechanics, reduce strain, and improve efficiency.

Balance and Stability Training
If your symptoms increase fall risk, we focus on improving stability and confidence during everyday movement.

Hands-On Treatment Techniques
Manual methods help ease stiffness, improve mobility, and reduce discomfort in the joints and surrounding soft tissues.
