Why Persistent Hip Pain Could Be Coming from Your Core (And How Physio + Clinical Pilates Can Fix It)

Are you tired of hip or groin pain that just won’t go away?

If you’ve been googling “hip pain when walking”, “tight hips after sitting”, or “groin pain exercise”, you’re not alone. Many people with hip discomfort don’t realise the root issue may lie within their core strength, pelvic alignment or movement patterns, not just the hip joint itself. Addressing the hip in isolation often leads to repeated flare-ups.

At Body Form in Avalon and Cromer (Northern Beaches), we combine expert Physiotherapy assessment with tailored Clinical Pilates to give you lasting relief not just quick fixes.

What Might Be Causing Your Hip Pain?

Here are some lesser-discussed contributors to hip and groin pain:

• Weak deep abdominal/pelvic floor muscles → less stability through the pelvis and more load on the hip.

• Prolonged sitting or poor posture → the hips tighten, glutes disengage, hip flexors dominate.

• Imbalanced movement patterns → one hip over-working, one side compensating.

• Poor core control → forces travel incorrectly through the hip joint or according to how your pelvis moves.

• Old injuries or wear and tear that haven’t been fully rehabilitated → the hip adapts poorly and becomes symptomatic.

How Physiotherapy Helps

• We begin with a full biomechanical assessment: hip range, pelvis alignment, core stability, walking mechanics, posture.

• Use targeted hands-on techniques: mobilising stiff areas, releasing tight hip flexors/glutes, balancing muscles.

• Prescribe individualised exercises to restore strength and movement control.

• Educate you on movement patterns, posture, sitting habits, loading your hip correctly.

This ensures your hip is moving well before you add more demanding movement.

Why Add Clinical Pilates into the Mix?

Once the pain is stabilised, clinical Pilates becomes the smart step for long-term resilience:

• Builds deep core and pelvic stability which in turn supports hip joints.

• Improves hip mobility and glute/hamstring activation which take pressure off the joint.

• Corrects faulty movement patterns, ensuring your hip isn’t doing more than it needs to.

• Is safe, progressive and guided by physiotherapists so it meets your body where it’s at.

Unlike generic hip-strength classes, this is rehab-informed, precise movement work.
