Hip Flexor Pain Treatment in Burwood East
Sharp pain at the front of the hip when lifting your knee, sprinting, or kicking? We identify which hip flexor is involved and how severe the strain is, then build a plan to get you back to full load.
What is Hip Flexor Pain?
The hip flexors, primarily the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, and sartorius are the muscle group responsible for lifting your knee and bending at the waist. Pain here is usually the result of a strain from overuse, a sudden sprint or kick, or insufficient strength relative to the load placed on them. It’s common in runners, football and soccer players, and anyone returning to exercise after time off.
Symptoms
- Sharp pain at the front of the hip, often with sprinting, kicking, or lifting the knee
- Pain or tightness when lifting the leg, especially against resistance
- A pulling or grabbing sensation during stride or hip flexion
- Soreness after sitting for long periods following activity
How We Treat It at MyoActive
- Assess — We grade the severity of the strain and check the surrounding hip and core muscles, since hip flexor pain is frequently a symptom of weakness or imbalance elsewhere, not just the muscle itself.
- Treat — Hands-on therapy to reduce pain and restore movement early, with a loading plan matched to how the tissue is healing not generic rest-and-ice advice that can leave the muscle deconditioned.
- Rebuild — Progressive strength and conditioning to restore full hip flexor capacity, so you return to sprinting, kicking or training with confidence, not just “no pain at rest.”

When to See Someone?
Most hip flexor strains respond well to the right early treatment and a structured return-to-load plan. If pain is severe, sudden, or you felt a “pop” at the time of injury, it’s worth getting it assessed promptly rather than waiting it out.
