Most people assume hip pain is a hip problem.
But a lot of the time, it’s not.
With Nina, the pain showed up as hip pinching or stabbing.
Every time she moved a certain way, it would catch.
Like most people, the first instinct is to stretch it, loosen it, or try to work directly on the area that hurts.
But what we see over and over again, is that symptoms don’t always originate where they’re felt.
The system above the hip, the lumbar spine and pelvis, plays a huge role in how force is transferred and controlled through the body.
When that system isn’t doing its job, the hip has to compensate.
That’s when you start to feel pinching, catching, or sharp stabbing discomfort.
Not necessarily because the hip is damaged, but because it’s taking on more stress than it’s prepared for.
So with Nina, we didn’t chase the symptom.
We built the system.
We focused on improving pelvic control through core stability and anti-rotation work, restoring hip control (especially internal rotation), and then progressively loading the exact positions that used to trigger that pinching.
That part is key.
Because if you avoid those positions, your body never learns how to control them.
Over time, things started to shift.
Better control.
Better distribution of force.
Less compensation.
And now she’s moving without pain, even in positions that used to trigger it.
Not because we worked around it.
Because we built her out of it.
If your hip keeps bothering you, there’s a good chance it’s not just your hip.
