Due to the complexity of the region, patients with hip or groin pain can often be misdiagnosed, delaying effective treatment and recovery. Through the unique hip and groin clinic at Perform Birmingham, patients are initially assessed by Dr Mark Gillett, our Sports Medicine Doctor who has successfully treated many athletes with pressured timescales for recovery.

What to expect at the initial assessment with Dr Gillett:

• A thorough examination of the hip and groin region and also the areas above and below the region that can potentially contribute to the problem.
• Identification of any contributory factors which may need to be addressed such as overuse or repetitive strain.
• Investigation with an x-ray or scan if there are any suspected irregularities within the bones of the hip and groin.
• Accurate diagnosis of the problem with an onward referral to one of our hip and groin specialists if required.
• In cases where the problem doesn't warrant an investigation, referral to our specialist physiotherapists for treatment.
• A seamless VIP service to get patients back to fitness quickly.
