Hip pain

Hip pain is a debilitating condition that impacts activities of daily.

Through individual appointments or Clinical Pilates classes, we teach you how to do the right exercises and put you back in control.

This includes:​
Bursitis and osteoarthritis
Hip surgery and rehabilitations
Pre surgery strengthening
Hamstring strains
​Tendiopathies

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

We start with a full assessment to find out about your Hip pain. We'll then look at your movement to help identify key areas of weakness, tightness or imbalance.

From there we'll develop a specific exercise program for you to complete at home or in our Clinical Pilates Classes

In follow up appointments we revise and progress your exercise program to move you towards your goals and out of pain.

Common issues we see in clinic

  1. Difficulty bending over or sitting for long periods
  2. Tight hamstrings and hip flexors
  3. Weak glutes
  4. Lack of confidence in your body
  5. Unsure what exercises to do and what to avoid

HOW EXERcise can help

Exercise is one of the most effective treatments for hip pain. However, most people get massages and adjustments without ever strengthening the muscles supporting their hips. This leads to temporary relief before the pain inevitably returns.

By combining strengthening and stretching exercises with massage or adjustments, you give yourself the best chances of managing your pain and getting back to doing the things you love.

At The Healesville Wellness Factory and Yarra Valley Wellness Clinic (Seville) we utilise Pilates Reformers to isolate key muscles and speed up your recovery.
