Common Causes and Symptoms

Sporting Hip

Commonly occurs in athletes participating in running, jumping, or cutting sports. Repetitive high-impact activities can strain hip structures. Poor training techniques and inadequate warm-up contribute to injury risk. Muscle imbalances around the hip joint increase vulnerability.

Signs and Symptoms

Pain during activity
Reduced performance
Limited hip mobility
Muscle tightness

Gluteal Tendinopathy

Often develops from overuse in running or walking activities, especially on hills or uneven surfaces. Prolonged sitting and poor hip muscle strength contribute to tendon stress. Age-related tendon degeneration and biomechanical issues like leg length differences increase risk.

Signs and Symptoms

Hip pain when walking
Pain lying on side
Tenderness over hip
Pain climbing stairs

Hip Micro Instability

Hip microinstability, common among athletes, occurs due to excessive movement of the femoral head within the acetabulum due to capsuloligamentous laxity, labral compromise, or muscular imbalance. It often leads to pain, functional limitation, and progressive joint overload.

Signs and Symptoms

Pain during twisting and pivoting motions,
Difficulty in single-leg loading
Deep groin or anterior hip pain
Clicking, snapping sensation in the hip

Hip Impingement

Primarily caused by structural abnormalities in hip joint anatomy, often present from birth or developing during growth. High-impact sports and activities requiring extreme hip movements can accelerate symptom onset. Repetitive hip flexion movements, especially in athletes, can lead to labral tears.

Signs and Symptoms

Groin pain with movement
Stiffness after sitting
Clicking in hip joint
Limited hip flexibility

What causes Hip and Groin Injuries?

The hip joint is designed to withstand repeated motion and a fair amount of wear and tear. This ball-and-socket joint allows for fluid lower body movements. While many causes of hip pain can arise from the joint itself, there are numerous structures surrounding the hip that can also be the source of pain.

Untreated acute trauma is often the cause of hip pain, but any source of inflammation may cause discomfort in the hip area. Pain is one of the symptoms of inflammation, along with swelling, warmth, and redness; together these are signals and symptoms that a problem may exist.

Aside from an acute injury, some other causes include overuse injuries in which muscles, tendons, and ligaments can become inflamed. Overuse of the hip can also wear away the cartilage in the hip joint, causing arthritis. Common hip problems caused by strain and overuse include hip tendonitis/tendinitis, hip bursitis, and hip flexor strain.

You may also experience referred pain from other structures outside the hip joint. This means that, while the hip hurts, the problem may originate elsewhere, such as Snapping Hip Syndrome being actually being caused by the iliotibial band.

Our Patient Journeys

Girish K

About 2 months back, I consulted Dr. Padmanabhan for a hip related issue at this clinic - I was experiencing pain on my right hip area at different times. Pain was intense at times and was prolonged at times. I was unable to pin point, what was causing it well. Dr. Padamanabhan was able to zero in on the issue very quickly and post his diagnosis, he advised a specific set of drills/exercises to improve both strength and relieve the tightness. I was put under the watchful eyes of Dr. Arshed P. From the very right session of recovery and strengthening, Dr Arshed made sure every routine was doing very meticulously and thoroughly. I'm really pleased to share that as of today, the duration and intensity of the pain has reduced considerably. So much that, I was able to get back to running without any discomfort. Yes, I continue to do the drills/routines as advised. At the same time, I'm really thankful to both Dr. Padmanabhan and more so, to Dr. Arshed for the diagnosis and drills/routines.

Deepa Madhu

I came here full of apprehension...& walked out filled with joy & confidence. My heartfelt gratitude to Dr.Padmanabhan, who did a perfect diagnosis and recommended the appropriate recovery exercises. Sincere thanks to my physio, Dr.Diya Ruth Varghese, who incessantly followed up and executed the exercises perfectly. Am back to my regular workout routines, and I know this place will always be my go-to for any future requirements. Kudos Movementology

Jayesh Masand

I was diagnosed with hip impingement Gluteal Tendionpathy and was facing difficulties in regular work. I met Dr Padmanabhan and after initial examination he identified my exact condition gave me confidence of recovery with proper physiotherapy sessions. He specifically asked to Dr Joshita Poojary to plan sessions for me and she was accommodative enough to plan as per my convenience. She planned out step by step sessions for me and guided me at every step on various activities and worked toward the target of brining me back on marathon track. She focussed on on pain management as well as flexibility and strength. Dr. Padmanabhan and Dr. Joshita are really knowledgeable and experienced. Thanks a lot for all efforts and guidance!!

Atlee Afroz

Dr Padmanaban is simply amazing at what he does!! I had a hip impingement which bothered me for almost a year and after going to several physios, nothing helped. I met Dr Padmanaban through a reference and within 5 mins he was able to diagnose the issue. Took me about 7-8 sessions and I'm absolutely pain free. My range of motion is back to normal and i can continue working out and playing football. I highly recommend this place!! 10/10

Arthi Deiva

Doc. as I call him has been instrumental in getting me off and out of a terrible chronic pain tied to a hip injury that went undiagnosed. He pulled me out of the misery, helped me with a clear action plan >> which today let's me play, run as much as I like. Just some new boundaries I need to watch and follow. I've built incredible self awareness with my joints, muscles to self correct and manage my injury really well. My go to physio doc. I work closely with friends and athletes (on their wellbeing) where I know that injury management is a day in and day out reality. They trust him and that's how I know Padmanaban today. His diagnosis is bang on. He's the best.

Tushar Nagar

I had taken a treatment for hip impingement here. The diagnosis and treatment that I received here was on point. I had been suffering from hip pain for about a year, and Dr Padmanabh and Dr Aravind were able to help me get rid of that pain. Cheers to the team of therapists available here.

Paroma P Roy

I came in to Dr. Padmanaban's clinic with a running injury. After long hill race my quads were in bad shape and needed professional intervention. Dr. Viru was my physio here. He was able to help me with my right muscles in only 6 sessions and showed me some exercises that will help prevent such injuries in future. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Viru & Padmanaban`s Movementology Clinics for anyone with a focus to get better and moving after an injury.

After years of chronic lower back and hip pain that limited my daily activities and crushed my athletic dreams, I was skeptical about finding real relief.

Within weeks, I went from struggling to walk without discomfort to returning to competitive running. The team's expertise, compassion, and cutting-edge treatments gave me back my life and my passion. I'm not just a patient; I'm living proof that true healing is possible

Nithya Ramadas

For the past six months I was suffering from backpain, this affected my daily routine life. I consulted multiple ortho specialists and followed the instructions provided by them, but no recovery from the pain felt by me. One of my friend suggested to consult Dr. Padmanaban. On the very first consultation Dr. Padmanaban identified the cause of the backpain and suggested to go for the treatment . DR. Padmanaban and Joshitha first tried to mitigate my pain and afterwards they strengthen my muscles by guiding multiple exercises, clinical sitting and regular home exercises. I continued the treatment. Now I am felt relief from my long time backpain issues and I am able to do all my works. Thanks a lot Dr. Padmanaban sir and Joshitha ma'am.

Bharti Yadav

I had a wonderful experience at Movementology for addressing my neck muscle spasm, hip pain, and ankle rehab. The assessment process was thorough, and the exercises recommended were highly effective. The team here is truly exceptional including Padmanaban, Jennifer and Abin. I've seen significant improvement in my mobility and pain levels, and I would highly recommend Movementology to anyone seeking expert care for physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

Om Wadetwar

Consulted Dr. Padmanaban and Jenifer struggling with leg injury which was diagnosed wrongly by two doctors before. They both diagnosed it correctly and post 2 months of physio sessions I can feel the difference in strength of my legs. I previously couldn't run more than 3 km due to the injury and recently completed 10 km something that I thought I could never do again. Sessions at movementology with Jennifer are fun with lively ambient music and casual chit chat. Would definitely recommend this place.

I came to Movementology with SI joint issues. Dr Padmanabhan did a very good diagnosis and put me to work with Dr.Joshita. She has been a real blessing. I could even complete a Himalayan trek under her smart guidance. Her knowledge is pretty deep in terms of anatomy, as well as the impact of mind on body. This place has been really helpful to me. Thank you, Joshita and Padmanabhan Sir!

Krishnan Subramanian

I went for treatment of a pelvic avulsion fracture for my 14 year old son who is into active sports. Pretty serious and tricky issue. Paddy as we call him, is some one whom I think I can trust my life with. His ability to diagnose, put a recovery program and get the boy back to the field is beyond description. I love being thorough and process driven and I found his approach and methods to be top class. He understands the practical need of a player and how to gradually ease the player back to the field. His team is also amazing. Special thanks to Abin. He is a silent killer. He absolutely works his way through levels of difficulty without even the patient knowing and personalises the plan progressively. Within 4 months my son was back to the field with confidence and had regained his strength and agility. And even during this time he was allowed to do certain drills to make sure he does not get rusty. If you are in active sports and need a fitness program or an injury recovery program, I would strongly suggest you go to PADMANABHAN's movementology academy. This place is truly top class and run by folks who have deep understanding of what they are doing and what modern day sports rehab needs. Thank you Paddy and the entire team for helping my son recover .

Balu Murali

I ended up visiting Dr Padmanbhan around 6 months back after dislocating my right knee in a Football game. (2nd time in 5 years). Upon visiting the doctors I learned that my knee is unstable and surgery is the way forward, although I don't have any tears in my MPFL and ACL but they are stretched. Since it already happened twice and I have hyper extension on my knees, surgery was suggested by multiple doctors. I wasn't ready for surgery and the consequent rehab yet but at the same time I wasn't feeling confident in my knee at all, even for small things like taking stairs 2 at a time. 24 sessions later under the guidance of Mr Pandian, my knees and legs have become much more stronger , stable and I am feeling more confident than before the injury. While I still have a 20% chance left for dislocation which has to be slowly removed, I have regained full mobility, increased strength and improved stability. I have been cycling everyday and hitting the gym including lifting the weights with squats, deadlift without any issue at all.

Payal Barman

Dr. Padnmanaban is excellent with his diagnosis and treatment.My son had subluxation and he'd cured my son completely. I'd the issue of tennis elbow and was troubling me a lot with his treatment I'm feeling so better. Thanks to him and his team.
