Trochanteric Bursitis can be caused by repetitive trauma through excessive walking, running or cycling, where muscles or tendons have been rubbing over the Trochanteric Bursa causing too much friction. If posture, gait or running technique is incorrect, the Bursa is more likely to become inflamed since the muscles or tendons will not be rubbing over the Bursa as they should.
A fall or sudden impact through sports may also damage the Bursa and cause Hip Bursitis.
Other diseases such as arthritis, calcium deposits in the tendons, weak hip muscles or a tight ITB that leads to improper posture can also cause Trochanteric Bursitis.

As with most conditions, catching it early will increase the chances of a faster recovery and reduce the chance of re-occurrence. Also, as somebody with hip pain starts to walk differently to accommodate the pain, other parts of their body (ie. back) can go out of alignment too from improper gait.

If after a couple of weeks symptoms are not improving it's probably worth seeing somebody about it. 

Many clients with Hip Bursitis that have Bowen Therapy may report a faster rate of healing, a better range in their movements, and feeling comfortable doing the activities they enjoy.

Bowen may work in several different ways, by calming the nervous system, and reducing tension around painful areas, circulation may be improved. Bowen may improve the range of joint movements indicating better joint function which may help to reduce the rubbing that caused the bursitis pain in the first place, potentially helping clients to feel better for longer.

With Bowen Therapy we address the whole body, targeting several different areas we see as contributing to the problem, and this is how we may get our results to last longer. 

High heels or tight fitting footwear, such as worn in sports like skiing or rock climbing, can cause Morton’s Neuroma. The compression of the foot can cause the nerves within to become irritated and swollen, causing pain.
People who have other foot issues such as bunions, hammertoes, fallen or high arches are at a higher risk of experiencing Morton’s Neuroma, especially if they are putting a lot of stress on their feet, (eg. by doing lots of running).

As with most conditions, catching it early will increase the chances of a faster recovery and reduce the chance of re-occurrence. Also, as somebody with foot pain starts to walk differently to accommodate the pain, other parts of their body (ie. back) can go out of alignment too from improper gait (incorrect walking).

If after a couple of weeks symptoms are not improving it's probably worth seeing somebody about it. 

Bowen may help in several different ways. By reducing tension around painful areas, circulation may be improved to facilitate a faster recovery. Also stretching the ligaments of the foot may help to take pressure off the nerves of the foot.

As a child has a growth spurt, the bones sometimes grow faster than the muscles. The quadriceps can then become tighter, putting more strain on their anchor points on the bones. Small fractures can occur at the tibial tuberosity, that holds the quadriceps onto the tibia, and the body responds by increasing the bone mass and density at the anchor site, increasing the size of the tibial tuberosity.
Previous knee injuries may make a child more susceptible to Osgood – Schlatter’s disease

If Osgood-Schlatter's disease is preventing your child from participating in sport it may be worth getting it looked at. Knee pain or swelling may become chronic if the tibial tuberosity is not allowed to rest from being continuously stressed. Without this being corrected, as the body reinforces the tibial tuberosity with additional bone the child may develop a bony protrusion from their shin beneath their knee cap. This will usually remain for life.

Bowen Therapy may relax and lengthen the quadriceps muscle group so that it puts less stress on the anchor point.  Many clients that have Bowen Therapy may report a faster rate of healing, a better range in their movements, and feeling comfortable doing the activities they enjoy.
