EFFECTIVE HIP PAIN MANAGEMENT
Understanding the issue
In today’s increasingly sedentary and ageing population, hip pain can cause individuals considerable issues. As people continue to live longer, the rate of osteoarthritis, which is a common source of hip pain, is increasing. The rate of total hip replacements is also increasing year on year. In England, the number of hip replacement operations on people aged under 60 has risen 76% in the last decade (Roberts, 2016).
Hip pain can affect people in many ways. It can cause a lack of sleep, change the way you walk and prevent your from living your everyday life.
Any pain in your hips is best addressed early. Your hip pain should be taken seriously as they are the early warning signs for potential problems down the road. The consequences of not addressing and understanding issues when they arise, can lead to long standing issues that are more complex and harder to settle down. You are in control and can control the progress of your hip with effective treatment and long term management for your issues.

N.B.
If you have made it this far previously and find yourself in treatment again then there are a few key factors that you need to be aware of;
CAUSATIVE FACTORS
It is crucial to recognize that you should have the ability to perform a variety of movement patterns when carrying out a task, such as picking up a pencil from the floor. However, when you lose the ability to use different movements, it can lead to repetitive strain on your soft tissues, including muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. This is when issues are more likely to occur and cause problems.
The key to identifying these movement faults lies in linking the dysfunction with the symptoms (Comerford & Mottram 2001).
Recurrence poses a significant challenge. If you have only addressed the initial phase of pain management in the past, it is likely that you haven’t made any changes to how you moves to prevent strain and the return of problems in the future.
It is essential to establish lifelong habits and make necessary changes to prevent recurring issues.
