Physiotherapy for Hip Pain in Elderly

Hip pain in older adults is often caused by arthritis, muscle weakness, or wear and tear over the years, affecting walking and daily comfort. Physiotherapy strengthens surrounding muscles and improves hip mobility to reduce pain and support independence.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Do practice gentle hip strengthening and stretching exercises
  • Do use supportive footwear with good cushioning
  • Do maintain a healthy weight to ease pressure on the hip joint
  • Do take short breaks when standing or walking for long periods

Don'ts

  • Don't ignore persistent hip pain hoping it will resolve on its own
  • Don't sit in low or deep chairs that strain the hip joint
  • Don't twist or pivot suddenly on the affected leg
  • Don't delay physiotherapy evaluation for worsening stiffness

When to see a physiotherapist: See a doctor if hip pain is severe, follows a fall, or is accompanied by swelling, inability to bear weight, or visible deformity.
