What We Treat
Specialist Hip Pain Treatment in Aberdeen
Hip pain is all too common and can severely limit your walking, stair climbing, and sleeping. Because the hip is a deep joint and closely linked to the lower back, getting a clear, accurate diagnosis of the true cause of your pain is vital for effective treatment.
At ER Physiotherapy in Aberdeen, we combine expert hands-on assessment with cutting-edge technology to understand your hip problem.

What We Treat
Understanding Your Hip Pain
There are a number of conditions that could be causing your discomfort. We frequently treat:
- Glute Tendinopathy: Pain on the outside of the hip, often when lying on your side or walking hills.
- Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (Bursitis): Tenderness and pain over the bony part of the outer hip.
- Referred Pain: Radiating pain that actually originates from the lumbar spine (lower back) but is felt in the hip.
What We Treat
Advanced Diagnosis Using VALD Testing
We don’t guess when it comes to your recovery. Alongside a full injury history and movement assessment, our Queen’s Lane clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art VALD force testing technology.
Why VALD Testing Matters
VALD testing allows us to get a clear, objective picture of your muscle strength and movement imbalances. We can measure exactly how much weaker one hip is compared to the other, which allows us to build a highly precise strengthening plan and track your progress with real data.
