Problems with the hip can cause pain and loss of movement, which affect daily function and may make activities like rising from a chair or doing stairs, very difficult.

These may be due to degenerative (wear and tear) changes in the hip joint itself, an imbalance in the muscles working around the hip or local inflammation of a soft structure such as trocenteric bursitis.

Physiotherapy at The Cloisters to ease hip problems may include mobilisation of the joint, muscle rehabilitation exercises and even electrotherapy or acupuncture to reduce pain and inflammation
