The Zone 34 Method
Our framework bridges the gap between acute pain relief and long-term physical performance through a structured, data-driven approach tailored specifically to hip and groin mechanics.
We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your hip mobility, pelvic stability, and pain triggers. From these findings, we map out a clear, personalised rehabilitation plan designed around your specific lifestyle or sporting goals.
We combine targeted manual treatment with specific exercises and expert guidance to build your capacity and function. Where appropriate, we integrate care across disciplines, including exercise physiology, physiotherapy, and dietetics to support a holistic recovery.
Your progress and clearance for increasing physical demands is based on meeting objective strength and movement criteria, rather than simply passing time. This ensures a confident, robust return to your normal daily activities or peak sporting performance.
When it comes to hip and groin pain, accurate diagnosis and targeted, progressive loading are essential for a successful recovery. We combine clinical expertise with modern testing protocols to ensure your rehabilitation is precise, effective, and tailored to the unique demands of your body.
Our physiotherapy team have been clinical providers in trials such as the FASHiON Hip FAI study and GLA:D program for osteo arthritis
Our collaborative team works closely together to address all aspects of your recovery. From hands-on physiotherapy for acute pain relief to specialised exercise physiology for late-stage rehab, you receive comprehensive care under one roof.
We understand that every hip is subjected to different daily demands. Whether you need explosive multidirectional agility for the football pitch or endurance for comfortable daily walking, we tailor your recovery programme to your specific goals.

FAQ
No, imaging is not usually required before your first visit. Our physiotherapists perform a thorough clinical assessment to determine the cause of your pain and will refer you for an X-ray or MRI only if it is clinically indicated.
Recovery timeframes vary significantly based on the severity of the strain and your activity goals. While mild symptoms may settle in a few weeks, building the necessary tissue capacity for a safe return to multidirectional sports often requires several months of progressive loading.
Yes, targeted exercise is a highly effective, first-line management strategy for both hip osteoarthritis and FAI. Strengthening the muscles surrounding the hip helps to support the joint, improve functional mobility, and effectively manage daily symptoms.
Mild discomfort during certain rehabilitation exercises can be normal, but sharp or worsening pain is not. Your practitioner will teach you how to monitor your symptoms and load your tissues safely to ensure your programme is both effective and comfortable.
Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, such as athletic shorts. This allows your practitioner to accurately observe your lower body biomechanics, assess your hip range of motion, and perform strength tests without restriction.
