Hip and groin pain can show up in very different ways. Here are some of the presentations we see most often in clinic.

You have a nagging ache in your hip or groin that has stopped you training.
You run, play tennis, or five-a-side. The discomfort crept up on you over weeks. Now you are modifying every session around it, it is stiffer first thing in the morning, and you are starting to wonder whether something structural is going wrong.

You have lateral hip pain that is worst at night, lying on your side.
It aches when you sit with your legs crossed, flares after a long walk, and you may have been told it is bursitis, a tight IT band, or that nothing is wrong. Pain on the outside of the hip like this usually comes from the gluteal tendons. Once the real cause is identified, it responds well to targeted treatment.

You have been told you have a labral tear or hip impingement and you are worried surgery is inevitable.
Perhaps you have an MRI report mentioning cam morphology, a labral tear, or cartilage changes. What no one has told you is that the large majority of people with these findings respond well to expert physiotherapy, and those who do eventually need surgery do significantly better when they arrive at it well conditioned.

You have a groin injury that keeps coming back.
A groin strain, hip flexor pull, or adductor problem that seemed to settle but returns every time you push harder. These injuries are notorious for incomplete recovery when they have not been properly rehabilitated. Rest alone does not fix them.

If any of these sounds like your situation, your first appointment is 60 minutes. You will leave with a clear diagnosis, a full explanation, and treatment begins that same session.

Yesterday was World Menopause Day, and it’s a conversation we want to keep going well beyond one date.

Perimenopause and menopause can bring joint pain, tendon trouble, stiffness and changes in bone health. Too often these symptoms get brushed aside or put down to age. They deserve proper assessment, and physiotherapy has a real role to play.

We’re delighted to share that Lucy Metcalf is joining the Physio Remedies team on 2 November. Lucy is a specialist musculoskeletal physiotherapist and Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy, with a particular interest in menopause and in rehabilitation during and after cancer treatment, including menopause brought on by treatment itself.

We’ll be developing our menopause service with Lucy over the coming months. If you’ve been told to simply put up with your symptoms, we’d be glad to talk.

How is your lower back pain actually affecting you?

Not just the pain rating out of ten. The real-world impact on your sleep, your work, your sport, your mood.

It has been going on for months and is not improving
You have tried rest, you have tried exercises, and perhaps a course of treatment that helped initially before the improvement stopped. You are beginning to wonder whether this is simply something you have to manage rather than resolve.

It is affecting your sleep and your sport
You cannot find a comfortable position at night. Running, cycling, or training has had to stop or be significantly reduced. The things that keep you well physically and mentally are no longer accessible.

You cannot get through a working day without pain
Back pain from sitting is a constant presence. You are shifting position every twenty minutes, standing at your desk, moving around the office. By afternoon your concentration is gone.

You have had treatment elsewhere and stopped progressing
You are better than you were at the worst point, but you cannot get back to the activities that matter. You may have had a scan report that left you more anxious than informed. That gap between where you are and where you want to be is precisely where we specialise.

If any of this sounds familiar, we would love to help.

Neck pain is one of the most common reasons people come to see us, and also one of the most undertreated. 💙

A lot of people have tried massage, some stretches, maybe a new pillow. The symptoms ease for a few days and then come back. That pattern usually means the underlying cause has not been properly identified or addressed.

Here is what our approach actually involves:

Assessment: We take a full history, including what set the pain off, what makes it worse, what eases it, what has already been tried, and what your working day and daily demands actually look like. We assess cervical and upper thoracic joint mobility level by level, rather than treating the neck as a single unit. We screen for neurological involvement and neural tension, which matters particularly if you have symptoms travelling into the arm, hand or fingers. We look at deep cervical flexor control, and at the specific postures, loads and movements from work or sport that consistently provoke your symptoms.

Treatment: Manual therapy to restore joint mobility and reduce muscle guarding. A targeted exercise programme covering deep cervical flexor endurance, first rib mobility, thoracic mobility and scapular control. Neural mobilisation for patients with nerve root involvement. Specific, practical workstation and habit guidance, because advice that is too general rarely gets implemented.

Something worth knowing: neck and shoulder muscles are among the first structures in the body to respond to elevated cortisol. This is why neck pain is often worse on Monday morning and better after a weekend away. For many patients, stress management is as relevant to treatment as any manual therapy.

That is why breathwork is part of how we treat neck pain. Our physiotherapist Phil Harris is an Oxygen Advantage Advanced Instructor and works with patients on functional breathing to help manage the stress and anxiety that keep the neck and shoulders on high alert. You can read more about Phil here: https://physioremedies.com/philip-harris-physiotherapist

If you are tired of temporary relief, we would love to help get to the bottom of it.

An educational and informative way to spend a Friday.

Sarah Lawson spent today at the Innovation in Sports Medicine Conference 2026, organised by Sports Doctors Network, alongside Paul Martin and Jane Baker.

The day brought together sports doctors, orthopaedic surgeons and physiotherapists from across London to look at where sports medicine is heading: how injuries are diagnosed, how recovery is measured, and how the different specialities work together to get people back to what they love doing.

Thank you to the organisers for a well-run day, and it was great to spend it with colleagues from Grosvenororthopaedicpartners, Fortius Clinic and Opus Biological.

If your neck and back have started protesting since the summer ended, you are not alone. 💙

Returning to full-time desk work after months of more varied movement is one of the most common triggers for musculoskeletal symptoms we see in clinic at this time of year. It is rarely one bad posture that causes the problem. Symptoms develop because we stay in the same position for too long, especially when the workstation does not support us well and the body has not yet adjusted to the sustained load of a full working day.

Our founder Sarah Lawson has just published a new practical guide covering everything you need to know:

How to actually set up your chair rather than accepting it however you found it. Screen height: why too low is far more common than too high, and what to do about it. The forearm-sweep test: a simple way to create three reach zones on your desk calibrated to your own body. Laptops and tablets: portable, but not designed for prolonged sitting. What to do instead. Movement: why even a well-arranged workstation will not protect you if you stay completely still. When symptoms need a physiotherapy assessment rather than just a new piece of equipment.

Sarah also offers more complex workstation assessments in person for workplaces within around a 15-minute walk of The Lansdowne Club, or online for those further away.

Well worth a read, and worth sharing with anyone who has been struggling since they came back to their desk.

We love sharing reviews like this one. And this one is particularly special. 💙

Five years as a patient at Physio Remedies. Long-term neck, lower back, and hip pain that is now gone altogether. A tailored fitness and exercise plan in place. Four stone lost and, in the patient's own words, feeling so much healthier and happier.

"Sarah and Naomi have literally made me a new man. They are the best, nicest and most professional I have ever been to. Thank you."

This is exactly what we are here for. Not just resolving the immediate pain, but understanding the whole picture and supporting someone to feel genuinely well, for the long term.

To this patient: thank you for trusting us with your health for five years. It is a privilege we do not take lightly.

If you or someone you know has been managing long-term pain and does not know where to turn, our team at Physio Remedies would love to help.

From desk workers to elite athletes. Thousands of shoulders treated. One consistent standard of care. 💙

Shoulder problems are one of the most common, and most complex, musculoskeletal presentations we see at Physio Remedies. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, which also makes it one of the most vulnerable.

Our team has treated shoulder conditions across every level of demand: office workers dealing with chronic stiffness and pain, weekend sport players managing rotator cuff injuries, and elite athletes competing at Olympic, Commonwealth, World Games, and professional rugby level.

The same depth of clinical knowledge that supports elite sport performance is applied to every patient who walks through our door, whatever their starting point and whatever their goal.

Real experience. A deeper understanding. 💙
