Support Your Hips And Pelvis With Stretching And Strengthening Tailored To You

What are 3 core issues we treat with the hips & pelvis?

Stability for your core

The hips and pelvis create the base for most movement and stability in your body. Also, the pelvis forms the lower anchor for all the core muscles. Instability in the hips and pelvis muscles can lead to issues ranging from muscle straining to the Bulgind of lumbar discs.

At Twin Rivers Osteopathy we perform a functional screen to assess the stability of movements involving the hips and pelvis. This allows a tailored exercise and strengthening program to enable you to achieve your goals and help avoid injury.

Compensatory stress leading to wear and tear

The hips and pelvis often compensate for issues from below like flat feet or Knee Pain, as well as local issues like poor core strength and tightness in the hamstrings. This constant compensation can cause accelerated wear and tear on the hips and pelvis. When this has happened, we often see patients presenting with degeneration and arthritis in the hips and pelvis.

Our practitioners go out of their way to integrate with your current medical team to help create the best team care approach to your health. We have found that this team care approach achieves the best short and long-term results to manage the pain and return any lost movement and strength.

Injury prevention

The hips and pelvis are prone to acute and chronic stress-based injuries. Strengthening and stabilising your hips and pelvis alongside your current training can help prevent injury whilst improving your performance.

At Twin Rivers Osteopathy, we treat several athletes with recurrent hip injuries but have noticed that it is especially prevalent with runners and golfers.
