Hip Pain
Hip pain is commonly felt at the front, side or around the hip. There are many reasons for hip pain, including:
- Osteoarthritis: affects most people as we age.It is felt during activities such as putting shoes or socks on, getting out of a car or deep chair.
- Lateral hip pain: is caused by irritation of the soft structures on the side of the hip. It is most noticeable when walking or lying on your side.
- Impingement: feels like a ‘pinch’ in the front of the hip joint. It is typically felt during twisting, squatting or sitting.


There is no reason why you can’t do your routine work or leisure activities because of hip or knee pain. You should seek medical advice if the following applies to your pain:
Hip
- If you have hip pain and a fever
- Severe pain associated with a fall onto the outside of the hip
Knee
- If your knee locks and you cannot straighten it or you are experiencing a painful click (painless clicking is OK)
- If you have fever, redness or heat around the knee, or it is very swollen.

Hip and Knee Resources
We’ve created an interactive booklet to help you learn about your hip and knee, the common problems we see and how best to recover from your problem. It is best to work through the booklet prior to attending your JPAC so you can start making positive changes now. We have also produced a digital version of the JPAC presentation and related exercises which can be found below.
