Hip pain and groin pain

Our Kensington Osteopaths see clients presenting to Mixed Osteo with hip pain and groin pain resulting from a range of acute and chronic musculoskeletal complaints. Typically these complaints are as a result of an accident resulting in acute pain or as a result of overuse.  These injuries can happen due to sports and hobbies include Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA/UFC (mixed martial arts), Kickboxing, Boxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Judo  Powerlifting and resistance training (gym), running, swimming, cycling, tennis, AFL, Rugby, walking etc etc.

Hip pain and groin pain causes can vary greatly and typically pain is caused by joints (hip joint, pubic symphysis, sacroiliac joint), ligaments around the hip and groin as well as soft tissue muscles and tendons injuries.

When you present to see our osteopath at Mixed Osteo for hip pain or groin pain, typically they will take you through a detailed case history, followed by assessment and treatment which may involve manual therapy, movement therapy and exercise prescription, followed by a management plan.
