Frequently Asked Questions About Hip Physiotherapy
Q: How long does hip pain take to heal with physiotherapy?
A: Recovery time varies depending on the condition and severity. Acute hip pain often improves within 2-4 weeks, while chronic conditions may take 6-12 weeks. Our physiotherapists will provide a realistic timeline during your initial assessment.
Q: Can physiotherapy help avoid hip surgery?
A: In many cases, yes. Studies show that physiotherapy can be as effective as surgery for certain hip conditions, including hip impingement and mild arthritis. We work closely with orthopedic surgeons when surgery is necessary.
Q: What should I expect during my first hip physio appointment?
A: Your first appointment includes a comprehensive 45-minute assessment covering your pain history, movement analysis, and physical examination. You'll receive immediate pain relief techniques and a clear treatment plan.
Q: Do you bulk bill for hip physiotherapy?
A: Yes, we offer bulk billing options for eligible patients with valid referrals. We also accept private health insurance and provide HICAPS claiming. Learn more about our fees and billing.
Q: How often will I need hip physio sessions?
A: Initially, most patients benefit from 2-3 sessions per week. As you improve, this reduces to weekly sessions and eventually monthly maintenance visits. Your physiotherapist will adjust frequency based on your progress.
Q: Can I exercise with hip pain?
A: This depends on your specific condition. Some gentle exercises may help, while others could worsen your pain. Our physiotherapists will provide safe exercise guidelines and modify your fitness routine appropriately.
Q: What's the difference between hip pain and referred pain?
A: Hip pain originates from the hip joint itself, while referred pain comes from other areas like the lower back or pelvis. Our assessment can determine the true source of your pain for targeted treatment.
Q: Should I use heat or ice for hip pain?
A: Generally, ice is better for acute injuries (first 48-72 hours), while heat helps with chronic stiffness. However, the best approach depends on your specific condition. We'll provide personalised advice during your consultation.
Q: Can hip pain cause knee or back problems?
A: Absolutely. Hip dysfunction often leads to compensatory movements that stress the knee, lower back, and pelvis. Our treatment addresses these connected issues for comprehensive healing.
Q: What makes Evolutio different from other Melbourne physio clinics?
A: Our specialised focus on musculoskeletal conditions, advanced diagnostic equipment, and evidence-based treatment protocols sets us apart. Plus, our high success rates and patient satisfaction scores speak for themselves.
