Hip pain and pelvic imbalance
Hip pain often doesn’t start at the hip. Your lower back, pelvis and hips work as a unit, so we assess all three to understand where the problem is coming from.
Common signs we see
- Pain at the side or front of the hip
- Hip pain when walking, running or climbing stairs
- Uneven leg length or a feeling of being “out of balance”
- Hip pain alongside lower back pain
Looking beyond the symptom
When the pelvis and lower back aren’t moving well, the hips can end up carrying extra load. Over time that can show up as pain, tightness or reduced range of movement.
Measuring how you stand, move and bear weight helps us build a plan that targets the cause, not just the sore spot.
We measure first, then build your plan
Every new patient starts with a comprehensive assessment, followed by a report of findings where we explain exactly what we found and the path forward.
Postural and weight-bearing assessment
Hip, pelvis and lower back movement testing
Thermography scan and X-ray if clinically required
Care plus corrective exercises to support stability
