Our latest blog focuses on Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS).

GTPS is a common cause of pain on the outside of the hip, and is often linked to poor posture, muscle imbalance/weakness or overuse.

It has very similar symptoms to other hip pathologies, so is often misdiagnosed, but physiotherapists have a number of different tests they perform to diagnose your hip pain accurately.

If hip pain has been impacting your life, our experienced team can provided you with a diagnosis and a management plan for GTPS and other hip pathologies.

Learn more about GTPS with our blog via the link in our bio or make a booking with one of our physiotherapists and get on top of your hip pain today.

National Pain Week 21st - 27th July 2025
“Pain Takes a Nation”

Around 2.6 million Australians live with chronic pain, 4986 of them participated in Chronic Pain Australia’s “National Pain Report” 2025.

Responses to the survey indicate significant gaps in access to coordinated, multidisciplinary healthcare and major difficulty in obtaining a diagnosis.

These shortcomings are placing undue strain on Australia’s economic and healthcare systems.

This National Pain week, is calling for our government to prioritise pain, with national coordinated action, that improves outcomes for Australians living with chronic pain.
