Hip pain
Some people hold tension in their neck and shoulders, others hold tension in their lower back and hips. We spend so much time sitting during the day that it’s no wonder we become sore through the hips. With many similarities to the shoulder joint, the hip joint is an intricate system that has direct (and indirect) effects on the lower back, pelvis, knee, foot and ankle. For this reason, we use the Bodytech approach to make sure that no stone is left unturned when it comes to your hip pain treatment and management.
