FAQs

How an Osteopath Supports Hip Pain

Glenn begins with a comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment to understand how your hip is moving, loading, and compensating. He examines the pelvis, lumbar spine, and lower limbs to find restrictions or imbalances that may be affecting the joint.

Treatment is designed to restore comfortable walking, standing, sitting, or lifting, and to help you understand how your body is managing load.

Patients often book Glenn’s sessions when experiencing:

  • Pain when walking or rising from a chair

  • Sharp or catching pain in the hip joint

  • Discomfort when climbing stairs or standing on one leg

  • Groin or gluteal pain that radiates

  • Difficulty squatting, exercising, or sleeping on the affected side

Whether your discomfort stems from muscle overload, postural imbalance, overuse, or joint stiffness, osteopathy can help reduce pain and restore mobility.

Is Osteopathy Right For Your Hip Pain

Glenn Strutt supports patients with joint and mobility issues by looking at the whole body, not just the painful area. His approach focuses on biomechanics, compensation patterns, and functional goals.

“I don’t just look at the hip – I assess how your body is adapting as a whole. Small changes in how you move or load the joint can make a big difference.” – Glenn Strutt, Osteopath at Endure Performance
