Isn’t Hip pain the worst?

You can’t move around properly and every time your leg has to move when you are walking, you feel the pain. It’s constantly there and affecting everything that you do.

You may be feeling stiff when you try to move after being inactive for a while

It might be keeping you awake at night, or waking you up.

You might be tempted to go and see the GP for help. You might get prescribed some painkillers, but ultimately it won’t help.

Do you know what will help? Physiotherapy!

If you are ignoring your hip pain and hoping that it will go away on its own, then we have bad news for you. It won’t. In fact resting it might be the worst thing that you can do as this will end up making your injury worse, with your hip becoming stiffer and more painful.

Hip pain can stop you from doing anything; the things that you enjoy doing or even the things that you need to do to survive in your everyday life. You’ll start trying to manage your pain by doing less, meaning that you will become more reclusive and lose your self-confidence. Before you know it, you will feel like a shadow of your former self and all the things that you used to love doing are firmly in the past.

But, it doesn’t have to be this way, as there is a simple solution. Make a phone call to Chester’s Best Physiotherapy Clinic for hip Pain, Relive Physiotherapy and begin your recovery immediately!

We can help relieve your hip pain, even whilst sleeping!

Make the Right Decision: Consult a Physiotherapist

With so much information available on the internet in regards to hip pain, it can be confusing as to what you should do. ‘Just rest’, ‘take some painkillers and you’ll feel better’ or even ‘you just need to accept that this happens to people of your age’ are all bad bits of advice that you might hear. In fact, this is what the people who come to see us for hip pain tell us. They don’t know what to do nor who to listen to.

When you have hip pain, you need to do all of the right things to ensure a proper recovery. Resting is good, but it needs to be done in the right way. If you rest too much, you can make your hips stiffer and weaker, meaning that you are actually further from a recovery than you were at the beginning.

Your hip is a really important joint

as it allows your body to support up to 5 times your body weight. It is a ball and socket joint formed where your femur (thigh bone) meets your pelvis. Around the hip joint, there are muscles, tendons and cartilage which allow you to move your leg freely.

There is also synovial fluid within the joint which allows the bones to move over each other without jarring or friction. People who have Osteoarthritis have a shortage of this fluid which is what causes you pain.

As if this wasn’t enough, there are fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that provide cushioning and a smooth surface for the bones, muscles and tendons in the joint to move on.

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.

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

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.
