Hip pain can affect walking, exercise, sport and everyday comfort. At Bromley Sports Injury Clinic, we provide fast, osteopath-led assessment and treatment for hip pain in Bromley, including Beckenham, Hayes, Petts Wood, Chislehurst, Orpington and surrounding areas, with same-week appointments often available within 48 hours and home visits available.

​

We support people with sports-related hip pain, gym and cycling injuries, and longer-term conditions such as hip osteoarthritis, using detailed clinical assessment and diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound where appropriate to guide treatment.

​

Common Causes of Hip Pain We See in Clinic

 

Sports & Activity-Related Hip Pain

Cycling

• Repetitive pedalling and prolonged hip flexion can overload hip flexors and groin

• High training volume and bike setup issues are common contributors

• Many cyclists return to riding following appropriate rehab after arthroscopy

Tennis & Golf

• Hip flexor strain, FAI and labral irritation are common

• Restricted hip mobility can contribute to low back pain in rotational sports

Gym & Weight Training

• Squats, lunges and deadlifts may overload the hip joint and adductors

• Poor technique, limited mobility and muscle imbalance are frequent causes

• ​

Degenerative & Load-Related Hip Pain

Hip Osteoarthritis

• Gradual joint degeneration causing pain, stiffness and reduced movement

• Symptoms often worsen with weight-bearing if load is not managed correctly

​

Conditions We Treat

We diagnose and manage a wide range of hip issues, including:

• Hip flexor and groin strains

• Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)

• Labral tears and irritation

• Trochanteric bursitis

• Hip osteoarthritis

• Tendinopathies and muscular overload

 

Our Diagnostic Approach with Ultrasound

Many people attend our Bromley hip clinic because they want clarity, not guesswork. Using cutting-edge, real-time musculoskeletal ultrasound, we can:

• Visualise soft tissues—tendons, bursa, labrum, muscles—while you move

• Identify inflammation, tears, bursitis, or joint narrowing

• Monitor healing over time

This is faster, safer, and more accessible than X-ray/MRI for most hip-related complaints.

​

Rehabilitation & Treatment Plans

Your hip care plan will be customised based on scan results and lifestyle. It may include:

• Advice and guidance on cycling setup, running, gym technique or racket sports

• Strength and mobility exercises tailored to the hip joint

• Manual therapy and myofascial release

• Postural re-education and load management

• Ultrasound-guided injections when needed

• Progressive return-to-activity, including gym training, cycling, and tennis

FAQs – Hip Pain & Active Lifestyle

​

Q: Can hip pain improve without surgery?
Yes. Many hip problems improve with accurate diagnosis, strength-based rehabilitation and load management. Surgery is usually only considered if symptoms persist despite appropriate care.

​

Q: Can cycling cause hip pain?
Yes. Stationary/inflexible setups and repetitive motion often lead to hip tendonitis or labral irritation 

​

Q: How do you diagnose a labral tear or impingement?
With real-time ultrasound we assess soft tissue structure and movement to detect tears, impingement, or inflammation.

​

Q: Do you treat osteoarthritis with ultrasound?
Yes. We monitor joint space, inflammation while supporting your activity modifications.

​

Q: Do gym exercises worsen hip issues?
They can if technique or mobility is poor. Our rehab plans correct form and gradually restore strength.

​

Q: Can I book without seeing a GP?
Absolutely. You can book directly online or call us. Same-week appointments are typically available.
