If any of these sound like your experience, you’re not alone—and it’s not something you have to “just live with.”
At West Henday Physical Therapy, we offer personalized Hip Pain Physiotherapy in Edmonton, designed to uncover the root cause of your symptoms, restore mobility, and help you move more freely with less discomfort, so daily life feels easier again.
At our clinic, we treat various hip conditions, from acute injuries to chronic pain resulting from poor movement habits or wear and tear over time.
Here are the most common conditions we work with:
Degeneration of the hip joint will lead to stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility, particularly in the morning or after prolonged periods of activity.
Sharp groin pain, pinching, or clicking is caused by irregular joint structure or repetitive joint stress and often worsened by pivoting, squatting, or prolonged sitting.
This is inflammation of the fluid-filled sac on the outer hip. Causes localized pain when lying on your side, walking, or climbing stairs.
Pain or tightness in the outer hip caused by irritation of the gluteus medius or minimus tendons—often misdiagnosed as sciatica.
This is compression of the sciatic nerve due to tightness in the piriformis muscle. May cause deep buttock pain or radiating symptoms down the leg.
Hip or pelvic discomfort is caused by imbalance or instability at the joint connecting your spine and pelvis, and is often linked with low back pain.
Muscle soreness or pain resulting from activity overload, improper movement patterns, or athletic injury.
Impact-related injuries from slipping on ice or uneven surfaces may result in joint irritation, bone bruising, or soft tissue strain.
We assist patients recovering from hip replacements, labral repairs, or fracture stabilization, focused on reducing inflammation, easing early lingering soreness, and helping you move with greater ease and control as you heal.
Hip pain can look different from person to person, and it doesn’t always start with a major injury.
Here’s how it often shows up:
in the groin, outer thigh, or buttock that worsens with long periods of sitting
when trying to tie your shoes, cross your legs, or roll over in bed
like standing up from a chair, stepping off a curb, or pivoting on one foot
or after driving that takes several steps to "walk off"
when climbing stairs or carrying groceries
even if there was no major injury at the time
These symptoms can quietly reduce your quality of life—but with the right treatment, they don’t have to.
Our care plans are customized and built on what your body needs, not just the condition on paper. At West Henday Physical Therapy, we combine hands-on techniques, movement retraining, and personalized exercise to rebuild functional control, improve joint control, and support your return to walking, stairs, or sport.
Here’s how we help you recover and move better:
We apply controlled, gentle pressure to improve joint movement, especially helpful if your hip feels stiff or restricted.
Hands-on therapy to reduce muscle tension in key areas like the glutes, hip flexors, and outer hip, releasing tightness that often limits movement or causes referral pain.
Weak hip stabilizers can lead to imbalance and overcompensation. We guide you through exercises that re-engage the glutes and deep core muscles to restore balance and strength.
Your walking mechanics may be adding stress to your hips. We assess and retrain your stride and posture to reduce loading and improve efficiency.
We include functional core work that improves control around your spine and pelvis, especially important if your hip pain is linked to instability or SI joint issues.
Many hip conditions involve poor balance or reduced control during daily movement. We help retrain your stability to support safer, smoother walking and transitions.
A combination of stretching and gentle resistance that helps increase flexibility in tight hip muscles, like the iliopsoas, hamstrings, or adductors, without overstressing the joint.
This exercise trains safe control of hip and knee movement during stairs or uneven terrain, ideal for patients with hip impingement or balance concerns.
A combination of stretching and gentle resistance that helps increase flexibility in tight hip muscles, like the iliopsoas, hamstrings, or adductors, without overstressing the joint.
This exercise trains safe control of hip and knee movement during stairs or uneven terrain, ideal for patients with hip impingement or balance concerns.
Designed to improve awareness and control between your pelvis and lumbar spine, particularly important in SI joint and labral rehab cases.
Gradual weight-bearing activities using body weight or resistance bands to build hip stability and prepare for return to full function (like walking, stairs, or sport).
We’ll teach you what movements to avoid, when to use ice or heat, and how to modify daily activities while you recover—so you’re supported both in and out of the clinic.
These techniques are always progressed based on your comfort and mobility, ensuring your care is both effective and safe.
Your hip is unique to you—your body, your job, your goals, and your lifestyle. That’s why no two treatment plans at West Henday Physical Therapy are exactly the same.
We take time to:
Whether you’re an active adult, a desk worker, or recovering from surgery, your care plan is designed to fit you. It’s not just about short-term relief—it’s about building long-term strength, comfort, and confidence in your hips.
You don’t have to avoid stairs, shorten your walks, or live with nagging pain. With the right care, your hips can move the way they’re meant to—strong and steady.
