FAQ for Hip Pain Professionals
Joining
I want to improve my expertise with hip, groin and pelvis problems. What would you recommend?
HPP offers a great way to improve your expertise through a multitude of ways.
A good place to start is working your way through the content of the site. We would expect that all our listed Hip Pain Professionals have knowledge that includes all the relevant information from this website. Starting at Hip Pain Explained is a good idea as it reviews in depth hip/pelvis anatomy and details what can wrong with various body sub-systems (joint, soft tissue, bone, back referral, peripheral nerve and other).
Follow our Hip Pain Blog that is directed to the general population. Reading how we explain complex topics to the non-professional will aid your delivery of clinical education to your clients.
We would also encourage you learn from Dr Alison Grimaldi who is a Hip Pain Help founder and a highly respected clinical educator and physiotherapist. On her website you will find a wealth of free learning as well as online courses and books. Follow her twitter to learn if she is traveling to a city near you for the chance to learn from her in person.
What are the guidelines for the directory?
We define a Hip Pain Professional as a scientifically trained, university qualified healthcare professional. You are required to have completed a degree at a university in your health profession. You must also be legally registered in your country to practice in the profession you are listing in the HPP directory and provide proof of current professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover.
The occupations of our professionals include: —
– Physiotherapist/Physical Therapist,
– Medical Doctor including – Primary Care/General Practitioner, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Sports Physician, Rheumatologist, etc
– Osteopath
– Chiropractor
– Exercise Scientist or Exercise Physiologist
– Podiatrist
– other including Occupational Therapist/Psychologist/Dietician.
We do not accept other health vocations or alternate medicine practitioners.
Although there is no minimum hip training requirement for membership we do expect all our registered members to familiarize themselves with the content of the website and to strive to learn more about the hip and evidence-lead care. We want to help you on your journey to become high quality practitioners.
We do randomly audit our professionals to ensure compliance with practicing requirements and for compliance with our Terms & Conditions. If any information is found to be incorrect at any time, HPP reserves the right to remove your listing immediately with no refund of monies paid.
An audit would entail that the individual professional listed on HPP would need to provide copies of: Photo ID, University Degree, current professional registration document and proof of currency of professional indemnity and pubic liability insurance cover within 20 days of being contact by email or their listing would be removed until this proof is provided.
What exactly do I get for my membership fee?
Your membership includes:
Your listing:
One practice location (business listing) including contact details, description, features, images, video, url and social media links and one Hip Pain Professional profile (of an individual at this location) including profile photo, bio, qualifications, clinical experience and special interests.
If you are a sole practitioner you still fill out both sections – both listings include slightly different information allowing you to give a more detailed summation of facilities available at your place of work and your own professional skills and services.
This high quality listing helps put you in touch with your local community, allowing you to be more easily and regularly discovered. Plus there is potential to improve your webpage ranking through increased external linkages and higher website hit rates.
Facebook Closed Discussion Group

This will be a unique place linking you to a worldwide inter-disciplinary community to discuss all of your hip questions, ideas, interventions, exercises and research. Improve your skills, outcomes and enjoyment. It will be also become a place to make connections with professionals close so you can set up a referral network.

Can I sign up without joining the directory?
For free, you are able sign up to our newsletter (and indicate you are a professional), read our blogs and engage with our social media to learn more about us.
If you would like assess to our other membership features but do not want a public listing please email us via info@hippainhelp.com
I would like to sign up as an individual - can I do this?
Yes you can. You just purchase a base membership subscription here. There are a couple then of different ways you can set up your listing.
- If you are an individual working as a sole practitioner you can list your business and then add yourself as the individual staff listing. This gives you lots of opportunity to describe both your business and yourself
- If you are an individual working for someone else: you can either list the business you work for (which is the searchable entity on the directory) with yourself as the listed staff member who is the hip pain professional within the business OR you might choose to list your own name as the business name and also as the Hip Pain Professional. Your name then becomes the searchable entity on the directory. You may want to discuss your options with your employer regards your employment agreement and any financial assistance they may be willing to provide you.
Can I nominate more than one Hip Pain Professional?
Yes you can list multiple members of staff and even staff of different professions. Each additional Hip Pain Professional profile is $75/year. This can be set up in the membership portal once your basic listing and included profile have been approved.
It is important for you to choose your staff who have the most skill and interest in solving problems for people with hip/pelvic dysfunction. They may have extra training, a depth of experience or a specialised skill set that will appeal to this population.
I have multiple practice locations – can I add more to my personal/practice listing?
Each subscription is for ONE location only. You will need another membership to list another practice location and for it to be visible in your search. If you are a sole practitioner who visits multiple locations or a large business with multiple locations please contact us to discuss your individual circumstance.

This will take you to the payment screen, and once your payment details have been entered and accepted, you will then be prompted on how to go on and complete your listing.
Details to assist with the rest of the listing process are detailed in other FAQs below, this webpage or this video.
I have a login but I lost the payment screen. What should I do?
It’s OK. You do not need to make a new username and password. Simply go to the Professional symbol to the left of the green button in the header menu. Hover here and you may find you are still logged in.
If not enter your username/email address and password to login. Then click on add listing – it will let you know if you still need to pay. Pay here if needed and you are good to go.
I am now a member. Can you help me find my way around the members area?
Here is screen shot of the members area.
User – this is the account admin details
Edit User Details – alter your email address and password
Add listing – add the location of practice/business & contact details etc
My Listings – once your listing has been approved you can use this tab to edit your entry and add extra images.
Add Hip Pain Professional(s) – add your HPP profile here (all listings must complete this step)
My Professionals – edit your existing HPP (once listing has been through the initial approval process)
Subscriptions – you can check your subscription renewal date, cancel your membership and update your credit card details here.
I am ready to set up my directory listing. What do I need?
We recommend allowing yourself around 30 minutes to fill in your entries. You will need a landscape image (png/jpeg) with ideal size of 620W*400H (max 5MB)for your listing thumbnail. This thumbnail will represent your business when displayed in search results.
You will also need head shot of your HPP (for their profile pic). You will need to have a think about what will make your business stand out to the general public and specifically to our users who will be looking for solutions to hip/pelvic dysfunction. It is possible to add videos and links to your social media outlets. Extra practice images can also be added but it best to do this during the review & editing phase after approval.
For your staff you will need
- The name and location of their health degree (include undergraduate & postgraduate)
- How many years of clinical practice they have
- If they have attended any courses with Dr Alision Grimaldi (and if they were online only or also had a practical component)
- Their Bio – again consider how their skills can appeal to hip/pelvic population. This is a good place to mention any relevant professional development courses/training
- Their special interests (choose from a list)
Remember all directory listing must have business/location details and details of your nominated HPP. There will be a delay in approving your listing if you do not complete both of these steps.
Please be aware that after you submit your forms you will not be able to edit until your listing is approved by admin.

All the information you need to add about your listing can now be done – please note that everything you enter here will be freely available to the general public. Please DO NOT enter any details here that you wish to remain private or confidential. It is a good idea to dedicate some time to this step as all the info is best submitted at one time.

Listing title – enter your business name (or your own name if you are doing a personal/sole trader listing)
Business website – enter your business url
Business address – including street number, street name, city/suburb, postcode and country (choose from drop-down address suggestions)
Business type (select from the drop-down list) we suggest you choose the main profession you would like your clinic to be recognised for – this is the “profession type” that the clinic is now searchable under. We advise you consider the category that you would like your practice to be listed under. For example, if the staff you are entering are predominantly, for example, exercise physiologists, then it may be best to set your profession/business type as “exercise physiology” instead of “multidisciplinary”
Services Provided – Click to select the services the business provides – you can select as many or as few as you want. Try to be professionally accurate to avoid client disappointment if they visit you for a specific service that you don’t actually offer.
Description: Use this section to highlight particular features/benefits of this business or your services at this location. Even if you are an individual listing do not enter you bio here. For example you could mention the facilitates, location, mission statement or passion.

You will be able to add multiple images (max total size 128MB) but this is easier to edit and modify once your listing is live. We recommend a total of 3-5 images. If you wish to upload all your images now – they will need to be selected and added from the same folder and your thumbnail will be automatically selected by the computer. Choosing images from your existing website can be a good way to link your listing to your existing website. You could try purchasing images from an online stock image website if you don’t have anything suitable.
Please contact info@hippainhelp.com if you are having issues with your thumbnail displaying correctly and we can assist you. Please include a description of the image you want as your thumbnail if you have already uploaded, or the actual image that you are having difficulty with.
