🦵 What is Hip Dysplasia?
Hip dysplasia is a condition where the hip socket doesn’t fully cover the ball of the joint, which can lead to:
✔️ Hip or groin pain
✔️ Clicking or catching sensations
✔️ Stiffness or reduced movement
✔️ Increased risk of early joint wear over time
It can be present from a young age or develop symptoms later in life — especially with activity.
🔎 Risk Factors
✔️ Family history / genetics
✔️ Female s*x
✔️ High-impact or repetitive loading activities
✔️ Joint hypermobility
✔️ Muscle weakness around the hip
💪 How can physiotherapy help?
Physio plays a key role in managing symptoms and improving function:
✔️ Strengthening the hip (glutes + deep stabilisers)
✔️ Improving movement control & stability
✔️ Reducing joint overload
✔️ Activity modification (not stopping, but adapting!)
✔️ Building confidence in movement
🧠 Other management options
✔️ Load management & activity planning
✔️ Pain management strategies
✔️ Lifestyle factors (sleep, general fitness)
✔️ Injection therapy in some cases
✔️ Surgical opinion if symptoms are persistent or severe
✨ Early management is key — the right plan can help you stay active and reduce long-term issues 🙌
