About Us

The Hip Joint was created by the team at Movement Therapy to further support our community. In our early days of Movement Therapy, we would notice that lots of our patients would finish their appointments and often still be at reception chatting with other patients or our team for hours after their appointment. Often people would say, “all we need is a coffee or a beer and we would stay for another hr.” So we needed to start a bar (the Lumbar perhaps?) or a cafe. It was a cafe it was!

It’s really nice to work at a place where people feel at home. We had become a space for our community to connect and support each other to achieve their goals. We know that even the feeling of being lonely or being socially isolated reduces people's ability to be or stay healthy.

They have less chance to get over that niggle stopping them sleeping, looking for a PB in the gym, trying to get back to sport or even being independent at home. All of this requires a sports network and a community to help you get there and stay there. Our patients that attend shared appointments receive free tea and coffee from the Hip Joint, whenever they want to pop in, even with a friend.

Over time, the Hip Joint will grow to support our patients nutritional needs. Introducing them to quality healthy food and produce. Then teaching our community the dying art of cooking and more importantly, the passion for it. We will need a lot more space than we have right now for a grocery store, teaching and commercial kitchen, and of course a restaurant, but you have to start somewhere. For now, we just want to make the best quality coffee and food, to allow our community to connect and for us to connect with them.
