Seek Early Physiotherapy for Hip Pain

With so much information online about hip pain, it can be difficult to know what advice to follow. You may hear suggestions like “just rest”, “take painkillers” or even that it’s simply part of getting older. While these may offer short-term relief, they often don’t address the underlying cause of the problem.

Early physiotherapy assessment is key to preventing hip pain from becoming more persistent. Without the right treatment, pain can worsen over time, leading to increased stiffness, reduced mobility and a longer recovery process.

At Relive Physiotherapy, we focus on identifying the root cause of your hip pain and guiding you through the right balance of movement, strengthening and recovery. Rest can play a role, but too much inactivity can weaken the joint and delay progress.

We also consider how hip dysfunction can affect your lower back, knees and gait, creating a personalised plan that addresses the whole kinetic chain and improves long-term movement.

Getting the right advice early helps you recover faster, move more confidently and avoid long-term issues.

How the Hip Joint Works

The hip is one of the largest and most important joints in the body. It is a ball-and-socket joint, where the head of the femur (thigh bone) fits into the pelvis, allowing smooth and controlled movement.

The joint is supported by muscles, tendons and ligaments that provide stability and strength, while cartilage and synovial fluid help reduce friction and allow the joint to move freely.

The hip plays a key role in supporting your body weight, as it can support up to five times your own body weight during activities like walking or running.

Because of these demands, the hip is particularly vulnerable to stiffness, weakness and injury when something is not functioning properly.

I have been a very happy customer of Relive Physiotherapy for over 3years now. Every time I have gone to them Raj has assessed the issue and entered into a course of treatment that has proved to be highly effective. I am pleased to say I am pain & ailment free at the moment, but I will definitely return to Relive if I am in need of any further treatment.

Andy Heyland

After a medical practitioner recommended Relive physiotherapy I made an appointment. I initially visited Raj with various issues but in particular Costochondritis and neck problems. Feeling desperate at the time, as I had tried everything and nothing seemed to work nor did anyone seem to understand my diagnosis. Raj immediately put me at ease with his calming manner and educated me of the musculoskeletal mechanics, structure and inflammation causing my issues. Following this, Raj performed deep tissue work and provided good exercises for me to do at home. I am still having treatment for my neck as I had muscle thickness which has now dramatically reduced due to the sessions I have been having with Raj. I cannot recommend Raj enough, he is much more than a physiotherapist and I would give Relive Physiotherapy ten stars if I could!

Kelly Scott

Absolutely fabulous experience,from beginning to end of treatment. I came to this practice with a rather painful calcific tendinitis. After 6 sessions of shockwave treatment and ultrasound im im very close to 100%. Raj is not only very professional but understanding with a caring personality. He explains everything completely and also listens to you. Sophie on reception is a very happy welcoming lady who is as equally caring. Would I recommend this practice?absolutely 👍 💯

Sarah Kinton-chittenden

Excellent experience over the few weeks that I visited Raj to sort out a long-standing tendon issue with both hands. He is patient, friendly and obviously very knowledgeable and experienced as a physiotherapist. Location is great in terms of parking and lack of traffic. Would definitely recommend him.

Richard Holly

I totally recommend Relive physiotherapy. Was impressed by their thorough, professional approach as well as their friendly manner. The treatment provided and exercises recommended has been very beneficial in me recovering from my injury. Thank you very much Raj & Sophie

Aaron Phillips

Absolutely brilliant service. Raj really took the time to understand my neck problems and provided me with brilliant massages and good advice for follow up exercises. Feel so much better and would 100% return if ever had pain again and would recommend to anyone.

Richard Allmand

I had a combination of Tennis Elbow and Radial Tunnel Syndrome in my right (dominant) arm. The pain was considerable. I was advised that it can take a very long time to heal on it's own. Medication did not help at all. I went to see Raj at the Clinic and he worked miracles. A number of very helpful and easy exercises, along with ultra-sound repaired the damage in less than 6 weeks (I was told initialy by relatives that it would be nearer 6 months). I strongly recommend him for any physiotherapy needs.

Pamela and Martin Nield

Very satisfied with the therapy Raj provided. Rather than just sending me off with a load of stretches he took the time to put context around what was going on and what we were trying to achieve with the therapy. This helped me to become more aware of my posture and movement, which I think contributed to the speed with which my lower back improved. A friendly and well-run practice.

Tim Shaw

Would recommend Raj highly to any person who is in pain. I had a painful leg, unable to walk, garden or sit sometimes, this had been going on for approx 12 months. Found tablets didn’t really help. But from that first appointment there was an improvement and after each one it has got better and better. As long as I keep up my exercise I hopefully will be taking much longer walks...

Lynne Vaughan

Mr. Raj Gandhi provided proper consulting after going through the whole history of the injury I had. Only few experts could be identified with a blend of both knowledge and care for their patients and Mr. Raj Gandhi is definitely one of those. Such a highly effective expert is a rare gem and I will definitely recommend him for efficient work - ethic.

Rajavel KS

I went to Relieve Physiotherapy after injuring my shoulder... Raj has sorted the pain out in my shoulder and has recently helped me a lot through the recovery of an hip replacement operation, and with his help i am well on track to getting my life back pre hip operation.

James Whitley (Margaret W.)

A painful shoulder that I’ve had for seven years following a fall, finally sorted with just six sessions of physio with Mohana. Friendly reassuring treatment and advice (no heavy lifting!) and the prognosis is good. I can genuinely recommend Mohana and the clinic. My (temporary) nemesis featured below!

Geoff Wellens

Mohana thoroughly investigated my condition and identified a few problems with my back and hamstring. After a couple of twice weekly sessions my symptoms which I had had for years have disappeared. I thoroughly recommend her physio skills in identifying and resolving problems.

kate Edwardson

I went to relive physiotherapy after reading the reviews and was not disappointed. I had spinal pain that wasnt going away, Mohana gave me an indepth consultation and found the source of my pain and has worked wanders to get me back to normal!

David Stokes

Had never been to a physio before so was a little apprehensive but I needn't have been. Lucy on reception is lovely and very welcoming and always greets you with a smile. Mohana my physio was wonderful and soon had my neck and shoulder feeling a lot less painful after only a few sessions. She also puts you at ease and is always happy and cheerful. I would not hesitate to recommend Relive Physiotherapy to anyone.

Julie Williams

Kindest regards to everyone from michelle

I cannot speak highly enough of Mohana and the entire team at Relieve Physiotherapy Practice. From the moment I walked in, I was met with warmth and friendliness by everyone at the clinic, making me feel at ease right away. The whole team is not only highly professional but also incredibly supportive and caring. Mohana’s expertise in physiotherapy is truly exceptional. Thanks to her guidance and effective treatment, I am now pain-free and have regained full mobility—something I hadn't thought possible. The advice and reassurance she provided throughout my treatment were invaluable, giving me confidence and peace of mind every step of the way. If you are in need of physiotherapy, I highly recommend Mohana and the team at Relieve Physiotherapy Practice. Their dedication, expertise, and friendliness have made a world of difference to me, and I am forever grateful!

Kerry Scutter

I cannot speak highly enough of Mohana and the team at Relive physiotherapy. From the moment I arrived for my consultation around my ankle pain until my last appointment Mohana was very professional and informative and showed so much time and patience to helping me recover. A warm and welcoming environment where I felt at ease.

Tanita Gibson

I am 35 years old and have had long-standing back and hip pain for years. I’ve seen numerous physios and been passed from doctor to doctor but the problems have never resolved. I was feeling exasperated and close to giving up - I thought I would have to just live the pain. Luckily I decided to give Raj a go. He is an extremely knowledgeable and professional physio who was quickly able to diagnosis the problem. He prescribed me with time efficient exercises as well as doing extremely effective deep tissue massages. I can’t believe how much my back pain has improved in the past few weeks. I am so glad I gave Raj a chance and highly recommend him.

Isobel Hensman

I have just finished a course of treatment with Raj at Relive. I had a variety of musculoskeletal-issues that had developed over time. Raj broke down the ingredients of the problem and went through a treatment regime which has sorted all my issues. Raj is highly knowledgable, experienced and totally patient focused. And his team come across as most welcoming and very well organised. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Relive. I also extend a big thank you to Raj and his team for making my visits such a pleasurable experience and, above all, for such a successful outcome.

John D'Arcy

Excellent service by the whole team! I’ve been having treatment at relive for a few areas and the care and service has been 5 star! Thank you so much for helping to get my body back to some form of normality! My therapist Niya takes the time to listen to me, gives me choice and options and has helped to progress my injuries/affected so that I am more comfortable and able to get on with my life. A huge thank you!

Darshna Dhokia

This is a really great Physio place and the treatment is top notch. I have seen a fair few of the team and everyone is so friendly. Iain on reception is fab too. There is a little book in reception where customers can leave comments and it’s literally bursting with positive comments and success stories. Well worth a read and a contribution if you ever go!
