Targeted care to help manage pain, improve balance, and restore mobility.

Hip pain can make even the simplest movements uncomfortable — walking, getting out of the car, or sleeping on your side. It’s a common issue we see every day at Rapid Recovery, often linked with lower-back tension, postural strain, or underlying joint restriction.

Our team offers a tailored approach to help you move more freely and manage hip pain effectively.

Osteopathy for Hip Pain

(AHPRA-registered practitioners)

When you see one of our Osteopaths, you’ll start with a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis to identify what’s contributing to your hip pain — whether that’s joint stiffness, muscle imbalance, or referred pain from the lower back.

Your Osteopath will:

• Assess the way your hips, pelvis, and spine move together
• Identify restrictions or mechanical imbalances affecting your gait and posture
• Provide a clear explanation of findings and contributing factors
• Create a management plan that may include:
  • Gentle joint mobilisation or articulation
  • Soft-tissue and stretching techniques
  • Targeted strengthening and mobility exercises
  • Postural or ergonomic advice for home and work
  • Education to help you manage symptoms and prevent recurrence

Osteopathic care may assist with:

• Mechanical hip or pelvic pain
• Hip stiffness or limited range of motion
• Early osteoarthritis or degenerative changes
• Postural and movement-related discomfort
• Muscle imbalance or compensatory strain

Our goal is to restore balanced movement through your hips and pelvis so you can walk, move, and live more comfortably.

Remedial Massage & Myotherapy for Hip Pain

Hip pain often comes from tight or overactive muscles around the pelvis, glutes, or lower back.

Remedial Massage and Myotherapy target these areas to help release tension, reduce muscular referral, and improve mobility.

During your treatment, your therapist may use:

• Deep-tissue massage
• Myofascial and trigger-point release
• Dry needling or cupping (if clinically appropriate)
• Stretching and activation techniques

These techniques can help by:

• Improving joint mobility and flexibility
• Reducing muscular tightness and discomfort
• Supporting proper hip alignment and function
• Enhancing recovery from training or injury

After your session, you’ll often receive simple take-home exercises to reinforce improvements and maintain progress between visits.

Hip Osteoarthritis & Joint Care

Osteoarthritis is a normal part of ageing — but stiffness and discomfort don’t have to be.

Treatment aimed at improving joint mobility and muscular support around the hip can help manage symptoms and reduce the load on the joint.

Your practitioner will focus on maintaining movement, improving strength, and working alongside your GP or other allied-health providers if additional support is needed.
