“Discover The Unexpected Cause Of Back Pain! ” Is Your Hip Causing Your Back Or Knee Pain?
Do you find yourself getting up in the morning stiff and having to move slowly? Do you also find yourself having to stop and rest after standing awhile or walking a distance due to back or knee pain? Whether you feel pain occurring in your back, buttocks, thighs or knees your hip joints could be the culprit. The hip is an incredible joint in your body that has to rotate while absorbing shock with every step. The hip joint is made up of your femur bone, which has a ball on the top and the socket of your pelvis. It is held in place by thick ligaments, which wrap around the joint, giving it stability, yet allowing it to move through a large range of motion. It’s What You Don’t Do… If you sit frequently at a computer, watching TV or just being less active, your hip ligaments will tighten up over time. However, even if you are an active person, but don’t stretch, this can also tighten the hip ligaments. Ultimately, your hips have to be flexible on a daily basis for your body to function normally.

“Why Am I Suffering From Knee & Back Pain? ”
When the ligaments around the hip joints tighten, you lose normal range of motion in your hips. This in turn increases the shock from every step and that tremendous force is now transferred to your back or knees. Furthermore, when you walk, since the hip joint is not moving correctly, it pulls on your pelvis and spine. This constant yanking causes inflammation and irritation to your back, thighs, buttocks and knees. Finding The Cause… Finding the true cause of your back pain is always our top priority. It is only then, that a good physical therapy treatment program can be put together targeting these problem areas.

PATIENT SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT
“They really care about you!”
“I absolutely love Agility. I am a college volleyball player that comes home during the summer, and the Core-Fit classes I take help me stay in shape before I go back for season. The atmosphere is amazing and the people that work there are so awesome. Alicia and Anne put a ton of effort into the workouts and give you so much energy while you are there. They really care about you as someone who is trying to get more fit but they are also interested in how you are as a person. It’s like being part of a really big family. I have so much fun working out there and love being pushed by them.” -Autumn D.
