What we treat
Hip and groin pain
Deep hip and groin ache is the one people put up with longest. It does not have to be.
What it usually is
Pain on the outside of the hip
Painful to lie on, painful on stairs. Usually a gluteal tendon rather than bursitis, and tendons need graded load rather than rest.
Groin and deep front-of-hip pain
A pinch at the end of a deep squat or getting out of a car. Often hip impingement, which responds to changing how the hip is loaded.
Hip osteoarthritis
Stiff first thing, worse after a long walk. Strength and mobility work makes a measurable difference and is worth doing well before surgery is on the table.
Adductor and hamstring strains
Common in field and court sport. The return-to-sport criteria matter more than the calendar, and we will give you both.
How we treat it
Hip and groin pain refers widely, so the first job is separating hip joint from tendon from lumbar referral. We assess all three rather than assuming, then load what needs loading and settle what needs settling.
Your first appointment
Bring shorts. Expect range testing at the hip, strength testing of the glutes and adductors, and a look at your lower back, since it refers into the same area. Hands-on treatment on the day.
Questions about this
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly with a physiotherapist in Australia. You only need a referral if you are claiming through Medicare, DVA or WorkCover.
How much does the first appointment cost?
$110 for 45 minutes. If you have private health cover we claim the rebate on the spot, so you pay only the gap. There are no booking or admin fees.
How soon can I be seen?
We hold same-day slots for acute problems. If you book outside opening hours we will confirm your time by phone the next morning.
What should I bring?
Your private health card if you have one, any scans or reports, and clothing you can move in. For a knee or hip, shorts are ideal.
Other problems we treat
Back and neck pain
Discs, joints, nerve pain and the stiffness that comes from sitting all day. Assessment first, then hands-on treatment and a plan.
Shoulder pain
Rotator cuff, impingement, frozen shoulder and the ones that hurt most at night. We find what is actually causing it.
Knee pain
Runner’s knee, ligament and meniscus problems, arthritis and the knees that ache going down stairs.
Sports injuries
Ankles, hamstrings, calves and shoulders — for weekend sport as much as for competition. Graded return, not guesswork.
Post-operative rehab
Knee and hip replacements, shoulder and ACL reconstructions. We work to your surgeon’s protocol.
