Are you feeling pain in the thigh, knee, groin, buttock, hip or back??
Are you getting pain in the mornings and going upstairs?…..
…….Chances are…. as you get older, you are! 😊
Did you know that any of these painful areas could originate from the hip?!
Working out ‘where’ the pain is coming from is key to improving.
Osteo Arthritis (OA) in the hip is one of the most common long-term health problems reported to GPs, with 1 in 5 adults over the age of 45 being affected. According to NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) it is the leading cause of disability.
Research is clear that if you experience moderate to severe symptoms, you could benefit from physiotherapy.
Mobilisation of the joint and strengthening the surrounding muscles can delay the need for surgical intervention for years.
John: ”I was suffering with a niggling ache at the top of the thigh for weeks. I was told by my GP that I had some wear in the joint and would need a hip replacement. After just 3 sessions, I didn’t need any pain relief. It is now 4 years since I sought the advice of Banstead Physio & Therapies, and the hip is still going strong. I am doing exercises to stay strong and keep as flexible as I can for as long as I can!”
Book to see one of our therapists for an assessment to determine if we can help improve your mobility and quality of life.
