I have been seeing Jamie for the last couple of months, and absolutely can’t recommend him enough. I love his holistic approach and looking at the bigger picture to try and piece together the reasons why my neck and hips are so painful. I always feel anxious when having to go to someone different when it comes to my health, but Jamie is so kind, friendly and understanding of people and how they are feeling. We have had some great results so far with my treatment and feel we are making some headway with all my aches and pains. If you are feeling nervous and not sure what to expect, Jamie is the guy for you.

I recently had a sports massage with Brad, due to extended periods of computer use, I suffer with neck and shoulder tension. Brad was able to work out all the knots in my back and shoulders. I have definitively felt the benefits ever since.

Brad gave me physio after I damaged my ankle ligaments playing rugby. Excellent in helping relieve the swelling initially then worked with me to help with recovery . Brad helped with taping up once I got back playing as well and my return was very swift

Brad has been working on my back and shoulders mostly over the last year and has given me exercises to do in my own time to strengthen and stretch the effected areas. I have recently had knee surgery so will be looking to him for some more physio work to help me achieve my goals in recovery! Brad offers a Fabulous service, good knowledge and a friendly face! Big thumbs up!!!

I really look forward to my adjustments with Jamie. I always walk out feeling looser and grounded. I’m quite inquisitive and he answers my questions fully and has a great sense of humour. I’m so grateful he’s helped me feel like me again. I highly recommend going to see him!! 🙏🏻

My experience with Skelian has been overwhelming positive. I have had lower back pain on and off for a good few years but Jamie has been able to assist with making things more comfortable for me since beginning treatment. I can’t thank Jamie enough for giving me the ability to train again without fear of enduring discomfort afterwards. Simply amazing service!!

Hip Pain

Hip pain is a common complaint that can be caused by a wide variety of problems. Read more about hip pain on this page.

About Hip Pain

Hip pain can arise from the joint itself, the surrounding soft tissue, the back, or even the groin. The sensation of pain is subjective and can range from a mild, annoying ache to severe, debilitating pain that interferes with daily activities. It can be constant or intermittent, and it may worsen with activity, especially weight-bearing movements.

The precise location of your hip pain can provide valuable clues about the underlying cause. Problems within the hip joint itself tend to result in pain on the inside of your hip or your groin. Hip pain on the outside of your hip, upper thigh, or outer buttock is usually caused by problems with muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissues that surround your hip joint.

Conditions That Cause Hip Pain

Several conditions can lead to hip pain, including:

  • Osteoarthritis: The most common form of arthritis, often affecting older adults.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune condition that can affect any joint, including the hip.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint.
  • Tendinitis: Inflammation or irritation of the tendons attached to the hip.
  • Strains: Injuries to the muscles or tendons around the hip.
  • Hip fractures: These can cause sudden hip pain and are particularly serious in older adults due to the risk of complications.
  • Labral tear: A tear in the ring of cartilage (labrum) that follows the outside rim of the socket of your hip joint.

Treatment for Hip Pain

The treatment for hip pain will depend on the diagnosis. However, the following are common approaches:

  • Medication: To manage pain and inflammation.
  • Physiotherapy: To strengthen the muscles around the hip and improve flexibility.
  • Surgery: In cases where other treatments have failed, surgery may be necessary.

Treatment Options for Hip Pain

Treatment options vary based on the cause of the pain and may include:

  • Medications: Over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription drugs.
  • Physiotherapy: Exercises to increase strength, flexibility, and reduce pain.
  • Injections: Corticosteroids or lubricants can be injected into the joint to reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Surgery: For severe cases, such as hip fractures or significant arthritis, surgical options like hip replacement may be considered.

Frequently Asked Questions

For a comprehensive assessment and tailored treatment plan, it’s best to consult with one of our healthcare professionals who can diagnose the specific cause of your hip pain and recommend the most appropriate treatment options.
