Chronic hip pain eliminated ✅
Charma: I’ve been unlucky enough to have early degenerative hip disease which caused pain and discomfort in my right hip and often lead to further pain elsewhere in my body, particularly my back, knees and feet. Following the birth of my children, the issues with my hip exacerbated resulting in a hip arthroscopy which unfortunately did not result in significant improvement. Five years later, back in the surgeons office the recommendation was a full hip replacement, not something I was prepared to consider at my age. In late 2020, carrying too many COVID kilos the normal discomfort had increased to significant pain and required management through regular pain medication. I had been unable to successfully make further improvements through other allied health supports and Pilates and in my search for a last resort alternative to surgery I discovered FP. Only on occasion I feel pain, sudden movement or funny landing but I have no ongoing chronic pain or in fact muscle tightness. Everything is moving better and I have more confidence that physically it’s all holding together. Unexpected benefits on this journey so far: improved posture, increased energy, better stress resilience, sleeping better, improved work performance, reduced pre-menstrual tension, generally happier and overall a much healthier lifestyle. I’ve smashed some long standing bad habits and my kids see me now as a positive role model (strong and healthy Mum). Thank you Max,
