Hip pain is a common issue that affects individuals of all ages, hindering mobility and diminishing quality of life. At MOOV Physiotherapy in Ottawa, we specialize in diagnosing and treating hip pain with personalized, advanced treatment plans. Our dedicated team is committed to helping you achieve lasting relief and return to your daily activities without discomfort.
Understanding Hip Pain
Hip pain can stem from various causes, including acute injuries, chronic conditions, and overuse. It can manifest as a sharp, acute pain or a persistent, dull ache, affecting not only the hip but also the groin, thigh, or knee. Understanding the underlying cause of your hip pain is crucial for effective treatment.
Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are common culprits, leading to inflammation and degeneration of the hip joint.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, which are fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint, causing pain and tenderness.
Tendinitis: Inflammation or irritation of the tendons around the hip due to overuse or strain.
Muscle or Tendon Strain: Overstretching or tearing of muscles or tendons in the hip area, often due to repetitive activities.
Hip Fractures: These are more common in older adults and can cause sudden, severe hip pain.
Labral injuries: An injury to the cartilaginous ring inside the hip socket.
Impact on Mobility and Lifestyle
Hip pain can significantly impact your ability to walk, climb stairs, and perform daily activities, leading to a sedentary lifestyle that can further exacerbate health issues. The psychological impact of chronic pain can also affect your overall well-being, making effective treatment essential.
Your Path to Hip Pain Relief
At MOOV Physiotherapy, we understand that hip pain is a complex issue that requires a personalized approach. Our treatment process begins with a comprehensive assessment to accurately diagnose the cause of your pain and develop a customized treatment plan.
Your journey to relief starts with a detailed evaluation, including a physical examination, a review of your medical history, and diagnostic imaging if necessary. This allows us to identify the specific source of your hip pain.
Based on your assessment, our team will create a tailored treatment plan to reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent future issues. Our goal is to address the root cause of your pain for long-term relief.
Our physiotherapy treatments are designed to alleviate pain, enhance function, and strengthen the hip area to prevent further injury.

Incorporating low-impact exercises such as swimming or cycling can significantly improve flexibility, strength, and reduce stress on your hips. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight can alleviate pressure on the hip joint. Ensuring ergonomic work and rest environments can also prevent unnecessary strain. Adopting these lifestyle changes, alongside professional treatment, can enhance your recovery process and prevent future hip pain.
The duration for noticeable improvements in hip pain varies depending on the underlying cause, severity of the condition, and individual response to treatment. Most clients begin to experience relief within a few weeks of consistent physiotherapy. However, achieving significant, long-lasting improvement may take several months. Your physiotherapist will provide a more personalized timeline based on your specific situation.
Initially, avoid high-impact activities and exercises that put excessive strain on your hips, such as running on hard surfaces, jumping, or heavy lifting without proper form. Activities that involve sudden twists or turns can also aggravate hip pain. It's important to consult with a physiotherapist who can recommend safe, hip-friendly exercises tailored to your condition and fitness level.
Preventing hip pain involves regular engagement in strength and flexibility exercises tailored to your needs, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding activities that overstrain the hip. Proper warm-up and cool-down routines before and after physical activity can also reduce the risk of injury.
The registered Physiotherapists at MOOV have extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of various musculoskeletal injuries and chronic conditions including but not limited to:

A Physical Therapist and a Physiotherapist are both health care professionals who specialize in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal conditions. The main difference between the two is that a Physical Therapist is trained in the United States while a Physiotherapist is trained in Canada.
A Physiotherapist is not necessarily better than a doctor, but they are specialized in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. A Physiotherapist can provide you with an individualized plan of care that is tailored to your specific needs.
At MOOV, we understand that your time is valuable and that you want to get back to doing the activities you love as soon as possible. That’s why we offer flexible appointment times and a wide range of treatment plans to ensure that you receive the best care possible.
