Condition FAQ
Questions About Hip Pain Physiotherapy
Here are some common questions about hip pain, physiotherapy assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation in Abbotsford.
Should I rest completely when I have hip pain?
Complete rest is not always needed. Depending on your symptoms, reducing activities that increase pain while continuing comfortable movement may help. Your physiotherapist can guide you on suitable activity levels.
How can physiotherapy help with hip pain?
Physiotherapy can help improve hip movement, strength, flexibility, and function. Treatment may include exercise, hands-on techniques, movement retraining, education, and gradual activity progression based on your needs.
Do I need an X-ray or MRI for hip pain?
Not every hip problem requires imaging. A physiotherapy assessment can help identify movement and functional problems and determine whether further medical assessment or imaging may be appropriate.
Can I receive physiotherapy for a hip injury from an ICBC accident?
Yes. If your hip symptoms developed after a motor vehicle accident, our physiotherapy team can assess your condition and discuss rehabilitation options and applicable ICBC coverage.
How long does hip pain take to improve?
Recovery time depends on the cause of the pain, severity of the problem, activity level, and how your symptoms respond to treatment. Your rehabilitation plan can be adjusted as your strength and movement improve.
What exercises are helpful for hip pain?
The right exercises depend on your condition and goals. Your program may include hip mobility exercises, strengthening, balance work, movement control, progressive loading, and exercises designed to help you return to work or sport.
