Common causes of Hip Pain
Appointments with Physiotherapy Scotland
If you are experiencing hip pain or stiffness, Physiotherapy Scotland offers expert assessment and treatment. Our experienced team of physiotherapists specialises in diagnosing and managing a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Schedule an appointment today to start your journey towards recovery and improved wellbeing.
Most patients with hip pain or problems will either self refer for physiotherapy or will be referred by their GP or hospital consultant from within the Glasgow area.
Your hip injury appointment will be typically 30 to 45 minutes for a new referral. During that time we will carry out a thorough clinical assessment of your hip and ensure you receive advice, education and management strategies.
Should you need further investigation we will refer you back to your GP or Consultant for their opinion as this is a medical decision.
Our aim is to return patients back to their work and sport as soon as possible. The length of time depends on the injury and the treatment required. Additionally, the demands of work or the particular sport, the healing time of injury and rate of progress through rehabilitation goals are all factors in the return to activity. It is very important that you take responsibility for completing your physiotherapy exercises.
As physiotherapist we are recognised by the major insurance companies to provide Physiotherapy in Glasgow but it is wise to contact them before any consultation. You will need to get authorisation from your insurer before attending for Physiotherapy and also inform them as to which of our clinics you will be attending.
