OPTIMISE YOUR RECOVERY AND DECREASE YOUR RELIANCE ON PAIN MEDICATION
The hip and groin region is integral to many of our daily movements. With its intricate assembly of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bone, this area can sometimes present with pain due to various causes.
At Hardiman Performance, we’re committed to identifying the source of your pain, offering evidence-backed treatment options, and guiding you towards a pain-free existence.
HIP OSTEOARTHRITIS
This degenerative joint disease involves the wearing away of the cartilage that cushions your hip joints, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms can range from a mild, intermittent discomfort to severe, chronic pain.
If your hip pain increases with activity or interferes with daily tasks, it might be osteoarthritis. Our experts can help with diagnosis, pain management strategies, and potential interventions.
TROCHANTERIC BURSITIS
Bursitis refers to inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the outside of your hip joint. This can cause pain on the outer part of your hip, which may spread down the thigh.
If you’re feeling pain when lying on the affected hip or during activities like walking or climbing stairs, trochanteric bursitis could be the cause. Our team can offer a comprehensive assessment and recommend effective treatments.
HIP FLEXOR STRAIN
This injury involves a stretch or tear of one or more of the hip flexor muscles, often due to sudden movements like kicking or changing directions while running. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and tenderness in the front of the hip.
Reach out to our specialists if you suspect a hip flexor strain, especially after specific physical activities. We can provide guidance on pain relief, recovery, and prevention.
GROIN STRAIN
A groin strain, or pull, is an injury to the muscles of the inner thigh. The pain is sharp and immediate and can range from mild to very severe. Activities such as sprinting, jumping, or changing direction quickly are common culprits.
If you’re experiencing pain or tenderness in the inner thigh or groin area, it could be due to a strain. Our experts can evaluate the injury’s severity and suggest suitable treatments.
LABRAL TEAR
The hip labrum is a ring of cartilage that follows the outside rim of your hip joint socket. It can tear due to injury, structural abnormalities, or degenerative processes. Symptoms can include a locking sensation in the hip, stiffness, or limited range of motion.
If you suspect a labral tear or are experiencing persistent hip pain, our team is well-equipped to assist with diagnosis and guide you toward effective therapeutic options.
Regardless of the root of your hip and groin pain, our dedicated team at Hardiman Performance is here to provide top-notch, evidence-based care. Should your condition require specialized attention, we’ll ensure you’re directed to the right professionals. Your mobility and quality of life are of paramount importance to us.
