Hip Pain in Glasgow

Hip pain can be felt at the side of the hip, deep in the groin, around the buttock or down the thigh. A clear assessment helps separate joint, tendon, muscle and referred pain patterns.

What it can feel like

Hip pain may be worse with walking, running, stairs, lying on one side, getting out of a chair, squatting or after long periods of sitting.

Common causes

• Hip tendon irritation
• Joint stiffness or irritation
• Muscle overload
• Referred pain from the back or pelvis
• Load changes from running, gym work or daily activity

How we assess it

Assessment checks hip movement, strength, pain patterns, walking or running load, back involvement and whether physiotherapy, podiatry or further imaging advice is appropriate.

Treatment options

• Strength and mobility rehabilitation
• Load management
• Running or walking advice
• Clinical Pilates support where useful
• Referral guidance if symptoms need further investigation
