What is hip pain?
Coxalgia is pain around the hip: groin, lateral hip, buttock or deep joint area. It may appear when walking, climbing stairs, sitting long or turning in bed.
What symptoms are linked to hip pain?
Common causes include joint overload, periarticular tendinopathies, capsule stiffness, glute weakness and pelvic or lumbar changes. Sudden activity increases or inactivity also matter.
Without care it can limit gait, sport and sleep, and create compensations in the knee, low back or opposite foot.
How is hip pain treated at Kinésica?
At Kinésica we assess hip, pelvis and spine as a system. We use osteopathy and manual therapy to improve mobility, plus muscle-chain work and RPG to reorganize load and lumbopelvic control.
How is hip pain assessed?
Sessions progress with glute and hip-control exercise, dosing guidance and a plan to return to walking, training or standing with more comfort.

Frequently asked questions
What are the most common causes of hip joint pain (coxalgia)?
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), hip osteoarthritis, gluteal tendinopathy, and trochanteric bursitis are the primary non-traumatic triggers.
How can you tell whether pain originates from the hip joint or the lumbar spine?
True hip pain typically centers deep in the groin and worsens when crossing legs or rotating the thigh; lumbar pain is felt in the back or buttock and alters with spinal bending.
