We are delighted to open the clinic doors in April for another free talk on hip pain by our Senior Physiotherapist, Josephine Garofalides. Jo held several hip pain sessions last year, all of which were very well attended.
In the session, Jo will highlight some common causes of hip and groin pain and discuss how to manage and treat them.
Whether it’s a dull ache after a long walk, morning stiffness, or sharp pain with movement, painful hips can significantly affect our daily lives, limiting mobility, affecting mood, and reducing overall quality of life. There are many possible causes of hip pain, including sudden injuries like strains and sprains, as well as longer-lasting problems such as arthritis, muscle imbalances, bursitis, or referred pain from the lower back. Age, lifestyle, posture, and past injuries can all contribute.
The good news? Most hip pain can be managed effectively with early intervention and the right approach.
Our Hip Pain event is free to attend and will take place at the clinic in Christchurch, Dorset, on Tuesday, 21st April at 6.30 pm. Jo will be answering some key questions, including:
- What causes hip pain?
- How can it be treated?
- How can the symptoms be managed?
- What steps can be taken to avoid hip pain recurring?
Numbers are limited, so to book your space, please call 01202 473800 or email info@bridgehw.com.
If you can’t make the event but would still like some advice on hip pain, you can contact Reception or book an appointment with Jo online. Alongside her physiotherapy practice at Bridge Health & Wellbeing, Jo works as a Research Physiotherapist at the Orthopaedic Research Institute, Bournemouth University and is involved in trials for hip osteoarthritis and Robotic Hip replacement surgery.
