When is hip pain not hip pain?

The simple answer to this is when it relates to something else that doesn't seem logical because the pain is in the hip.

Some possible reasons are
lumbar spine issues,
pelvic instability,
Sacro Iliac joint dysfunction,
lower back muscle tension
or even shoulder issues.

Lisa loves working with people in the studio / gym using physio exercise rehabilitation to address 'hip pain' that may not be coming from the hip!

Quick Fix vs Rehab with Lasting Results

Sometimes people just want a quick fix. We get it! You're in pain. Maybe you've already seen umpteen people for answers/treatment but with no relief. What if we told you there was another way?

At Next Wave we're focused on helping you get pain under control as quickly as possible but rehab doesn't stop there.

Our mission is to help you move, think and feel alive.

This means we love working with people who are you engaged and invested in their rehab so that we can help you move beyond therapy into being able to fully participate in life.

**We're featured in this article** Athletic performance isn’t just defined by how hard someone trains — it’s equally shaped by how effectively they recover.

Whether it’s a professional footballer, a dedicated runner, or a weekend basketball player, recovery determines how the body adapts, rebuilds, and returns stronger after physical stress. That’s where physiotherapy plays an indispensable role.

Modern physiotherapy has evolved far beyond simple rehabilitation.

It’s now a data-driven, evidence-based practice that supports strength, endurance, and mobility while preventing future injuries.

For many athletes and active individuals, it’s not a last resort after injury — it’s an ongoing partnership in performance maintenance.

Beware sycophancy in AI Chatbots — including ChatGPT and Gemini. This article highlights how it "often cheer users on, give them overly flattering feedback and adjust responses to echo their views, sometimes at the expense of accuracy".

Researchers analysing AI behaviours say that this propensity for people-pleasing, known as sycophancy, is affecting how they use AI in scientific research, in tasks from brainstorming ideas and generating hypotheses to reasoning and analyses.

“Sycophancy essentially means that the model trusts the user to say correct things,” says Jasper Dekoninck, a data science PhD

Nature asked researchers who use artificial intelligence how its propensity for people-pleasing affects their work — and what they are doing to mitigate it.
