13 Oct Hip Pain: How An Expert Can Get To (and Fix) The Source of Your Pesky Problem.
Say goodbye to hip pain and get your groove back! Welcome to our first blog post in “The Usual Suspects” series, where we explore the most common sources of pain, dysfunction, and imbalances.
Understanding Hip Pain
Know what isn’t hip? PAIN. Yet, many of us wake up with a shuffle, wince going up stairs, or feel a twinge while tying our shoes. Hip dysfunction can cause pain in other joints or areas too—aren’t bodies fun? Consequently, most of us will experience some form of hip discomfort at some point. “It’ll go away, I don’t have chronic pain,” or “I’m not that old!” are just a couple of excuses we use to avoid talking about one of the usual suspects in pain & dysfunction…HIP PAIN!
It’s a Joint Effort
Your hip is no ordinary joint. It’s a powerhouse responsible for supporting your body weight and performing numerous daily tasks. Therefore, hip dysfunction can significantly impact your daily movement. The way we stand, sit, walk, run, bend, squat, and even sleep can all be affected by hip issues. Moreover, hip pain is often the last symptom of a bigger problem. Bad posture? Constricting shoes? Maybe you need custom orthotics? It’s crucial to assess every part of your body’s movements and function to truly understand the cause.
The Role of a Health Professional
Pain can bounce around like a wayward tennis ball. Our hips are the court, the net, the players—you name it!
