HIP PAIN

If you have hip pain, located either over the bone on the outside of your leg or in your groin, you may have scrolled through the internet and seen videos about Bursitis, ITB issues, Gluteal tendinopathy. These diagnoses can be the source of pain, but they are often over diagnosed, or these problems are actually secondary to another issue that has caused them. As a result, you may be experiencing frustration, with no lasting improvements being made, with exercises and stretches shown on these videos.
You may also have pain in your pelvic region, which you attribute to your hip or Gluteal muscles.
A clear diagnosis has to be made by looking at all the surrounding muscles and joints. The pelvis contains the hip socket, and is attached to the spine. As a result, these joints and all the muscles in that area must work together in a balanced and mechanically ‘smooth’ and symmetrical way to avoid placing strain on joints and soft tissues.
At Ridge Physiotherapy & Pilates, I have experience in assessing the cause of these symptoms. I can guide you through a proven path of manual techniques, and a prescribed home exercise plan to rehabilitate you back to pain free movement, and improve your strength, balance and return to sport.
The service doesn’t stop there though. We look together at factors in your home, leisure and hobbies/sports that may hold the potential for re injury. From this, I devise exercises etc to off-set the impacted of strain from repeated activities or postures in work,or sport, so that you can continue to enjoy what you do, and have a good quality of life.

This is a fantastic post about your pelvic floor. Please take a look and share it with those you know. Too often we accept incontinence as normal.
We CAN improve our pelvic floor control & feel more confident.
😁👍🥳

What is a pelvic floor? How do I do pelvic floor exercises? How do I treat leaking or incontinence? These are just some of the frequently asked questions peo...

Why am I in pain? What caused it? I didn't do anything to cause it!

These remarks and questions are frequently made when I see clients.
Often it is a series of little things that build until you do something quite insignificant & POW!!! you are in pain.
My job is to talk you through what mechanical or everyday postures etc that may have led to the issues you are feeling now.
Often there are mechanical issues I can identify eg abnormal movement or strain due to excess tightness or weakness. Unlocking bad habits and training supportive muscles can completely change your life around.

Call me to book an assessment on 07913866549 or ask me questions without obligation.

BACK PAIN not only stops you being you. It also affects work and your ability to do fun things that you enjoy. It can make you feel depressed and grumpy. Pain is very tiring and you may be worried about your future.

Don't leave it to get worse!

I can give you a full M.O.T. in a relaxed setting. My aim is listen carefully to your history, look at how your body moves & find out what is causing your pain, stopping you sleeping & living your life.

With treatments, exercises and advice I will help you get back on track & able to understand how to avoid problems repeating.

Please call me to make an appointment or answer any questions you may have.

This is an interesting article that compares treatments available for arthritic knees.

Please feel free to message me with anuy questions you might have.

In my previous blog I reviewed the excellent RESTORE study1, which concluded no benefit for platelet-rich plasma (PRP) over saline injection for knee osteoarthritis (OA) (according to the authors) and which no doubt will be used to justify exclusion of funding for PRP injections, despite previous re...
