Australian Sports Physio

Physio for Hip & Groin Pain

Being the largest joint of the human body, the hip joint is not only designed for stability and weight bearing; but a large range of movement. However, injuries to the hip and groin are quite common and sometimes difficult to assess due to the numerous structures involved.

Physio for Hip & Groin Pain

Hip & Groin Injury Treatment

Mobile Yet Stable

The hip joint is a deep ball and socket joint. The joint is sealed within a tough lubricated capsule, and surrounded by numerous muscles that help us move.

At Australian Sports Physiotherapy, our experienced physiotherapists specialise in the diagnosis, management and rehabilitation of all your hip and groin injuries.

Hip & Goin Pathology | Acetabular labral tears

Acetabular labral tears

The Acetabular labrum is a gasket like cartilage structure (imagine the seal on your fridge door) that lines the outer rim of your hip socket. The labrum not only provides stability for the joint via its suction seal, but also dissipates the pressure of each of your steps over the hip joint; helping you preserve the health of your cartilage and avoiding the development of osteoarthritis.

Tears of the labrum can be divided into two main categories including acute or sudden traumatic injury, and chronic conditions that can lead to the fraying and degeneration of the labrum over time.

Because of tears, hip pain and dysfunction commonly follows (but not all labral tears cause pain). Pain can manifest in the groin (front of the hip), or radiate to the side of the hip and buttocks. Labral tears most commonly occur in association with other bony pathologies such as Femcoro- acetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAIs). The diagnosis of labral tears can be confirmed with an MRI.

Hip & Groin Pathology | Femoro- acetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAIs)​

Femoro- acetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAIs)​ FAIs is a common cause of hip and groin pain that can affect both male and females with a peak incidence between the ages of 20-40. The cause of FAI mostly occurs when there is a mismatch in the shape of the hip bones (bone morphology) and can lead to premature damage to crucial structures such as the hip labrum and cartilage of the hip. Cam impingement occurs when there is a bony bump on the femoral head, and Pincer impingement occurs when there is extra bone on the socket. Both can potentially occur as a result of early hip problems. The primary symptoms of FAIs is motion related or position related pain in the hip and groin (e.g. deep squat, getting in and out of car, seated yoga, stairs, running). Pain may also be felt in the back, buttock or thigh. In addition to pain, you may also describe clicking, catching, locking, stiffness, giving way or a restriction in your hip motion.

Hip & Groin Pathology | Ligamentum Teres Tear​

The ligamentum teres is a strong ligament which joints the ball of the femoral head to the socket of the hip joint. Unfortunately, LT can be inflamed, partially torn or completely ruptured usually via repetitive movements over time; particularly in young women with hyper mobile joints or in sports that involve extreme range of hip movement (e.g. gymnastics).
