Specialist Hip Physiotherapy

Book a hip specialist appointment online

Hip pain can significantly affect walking, sleep, exercise and confidence in movement. Symptoms may develop gradually, follow an injury or surgery, or persist despite previous treatment.

Specialist hip assessment is available at our Gosport and Emsworth clinics, with patients matched to the clinician whose expertise is most appropriate for their presentation.

At Gosport, Victoria Smith leads the assessment and rehabilitation of all hip conditions, and is highly skilled in complex hip presentations, including FAIS, acetabular dysplasia, gluteal tendon and cuff pathology, persistent lateral hip pain, and rehabilitation following hip arthroscopy, replacement or gluteal cuff reconstruction. At Emsworth, Mike Saegert provides assessment and rehabilitation for hip osteoarthritis and hip pain where symptoms may overlap with the spine or knee, or where the source of pain is unclear.

Our focus is on detailed assessment, clear diagnosis and evidence-based rehabilitation, with imaging, injection therapy and onward referral considered where clinically appropriate.

 

More Than an Exercise Programme

Our clinicians provide specialist assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation, with access to imaging referral and interpretation, injection therapy and onward referral where clinically appropriate.

Why hip problems need specialist care

The hip must combine stability, mobility and powerful load transfer during walking, running and everyday movement. Pain may arise from the joint, surrounding tendons, altered stability or structures outside the hip, including the lower back.

These presentations frequently overlap. Groin pain, outer-hip pain and pain extending into the thigh cannot always be attributed accurately from symptoms or imaging alone.

Specialist assessment considers joint irritability, strength, movement control, load response and functional demands. Imaging is interpreted alongside the clinical findings, allowing rehabilitation to address the factors most relevant to the individual rather than relying solely on a diagnostic label.

What Makes Our Hip Service Different

Across our Gosport and Emsworth clinics, hip assessment and rehabilitation are delivered at Band 8a specialist level, drawing on extensive NHS and private practice experience in complex diagnosis, imaging, postoperative rehabilitation and collaboration with orthopaedic teams.

This depth of experience is particularly valuable when symptoms have persisted despite previous treatment, imaging does not clearly explain the pain, surgery is being considered or recovery following a specialist hip procedure requires more structured progression.

Rehabilitation is tailored to the diagnosis, tissue behaviour and individual goals. Progress is guided by movement quality, objective strength and response to load rather than generic exercises or arbitrary timelines.

Where clinically appropriate, imaging, injection therapy or onward orthopaedic referral can be considered as part of the wider treatment pathway.
