Hip Pain Causes – Ravel Therapies Massage Limassol
Hip Pain can be the result of a wide range of causes ranging from muscle strains to tumours. Hip pain is also a very common site for osteoarthritis. If you suffer from hip pain, it is important to get your symptoms assessed as soon as possible, to prevent symptoms worsening. Visit Ravel Therapies Massage Limassol for an assessment and hip pain treatment.
Our musculoskeletal therapist will take a detailed client history with you and carry out a range of tests to understand the nature of the condition, and the likely source of the symptoms. These tests include range of motion tests, movement analysis and special orthopaedic tests, designed to help differentiate between different hip pain problems.
The location of the pain also gives the therapists strong clues as to the likely structures involved. For example, lateral hip pain is commonly a strain of the gluteal (buttock) muscle or an inflamed fat pad, called a bursa, on the side of the hip. Pain in the front of the hip or in the groin, especially when getting out of a chair or climbing up stairs, could be tendonitis of a deep hip flexor muscle called the psoas. Deep, achy, hip pain with loss of motion in flexion (lifting up of knee), and internal rotation are indicative of possible osteoarthritis.
Hip pain treatment at Ravel Therapies Massage Limassol
The nature of the hip pain treatment at Ravel Therapies Massage Limassol depends on the outcome of the assessment process. The treatment provided is specific to the condition suspected.
Muscle strains are treated with orthopaedic massage, provided to suit the stage of the injury. Acute injuries are treated gently to prevent damaging healing fibres, and the hip is provided with passive range of movement to help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Hip Flexor and Gluteus Medius Tendonitis are addressed with deep cross fibre friction massage, stretching and exercise therapy. In particular, a type of exercise known as eccentric exercises has been found to very useful in speeding up the repair of tendons.
An important consideration in the healing and prevention process is the assessment and correction of hip mechanics. The hip joint should be able to flex without excessive internal or external rotation. Our remedial massage therapist assesses your whole body movement, with particular focus on the lower back, hip, knee and ankles to assess the movement deficits and muscles imbalances which need correcting.
Restoring proper muscle balance and movement function is critical to prevention of future hip pain issues. It is also a key component of managing painful osteoarthritis conditions, as improved mechanics reduce wear and tear inside the joint. Additionally, restoring optimum range of movement ensures the joint receives proper nutrition and hydration, helping to prevent any further degeneration of the joint. Hip pain exercises are a key part of the treatment plan in restoring full range of movement.
