When to seek help for Hip Pain?If your symptoms are not at least starting to improve after two weeks, it's probably worth seeing somebody about it. If one is to ignore hip pain and continue activities that cause pain, after time, hip issues tend to progressively get worse, and the pain can become more severe. Since the hips are the base that holds your entire upper body, it is important that they are aligned correctly to prevent compensations and associated pain higher in the body, As with most injuries, the earlier one seeks help, the more likely recovery time will be short and the chance of re-occurrence will be reduced. How may Bowen Therapy help people with Hip Pain?Using Bowen Therapy we work to correct the alignment of the hip and surrounding structures to correct the underlying causes of hip pain. Bowen is a holistic therapy where we treat the whole body and can identify several different contributing factors, not only working around the hip, and that's how we may get our results to last longer.

What is Arthritis?
What Causes Arthritis?Cartilage is the hard coating found at the end of the bones which meet at a joint. Due to wear and tear of the cartilage, those diagnosed with Osteoarthritis have a situation where their bones are grinding against one another when the joint is being moved which can result in restricted movement of the affected joint and pain. Normally this occurs with age, over years, but there can be a sudden onset after an injury as well. For those suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis, the body’s immune system attacks the lining present in the joint capsule. This is a tough membrane that encloses the entire joint and is known as the synovial membrane which provides lubrication to the joint. When it becomes inflamed, the bone and cartilage of the affected joint can become damaged through the un-lubricated grinding of the adjoining bones as the joint moves. Family history, age, sex and previous joint injuries are various factors that can predispose someone towards Arthritis. When to Seek Help for Arthritis? With rheumatoid arthritis, the earlier one seeks help the better. Since the lack of synovial fluid in the joint is causing a higher rate of wear and tear to the cartilage within the joint, the earlier proper functioning is restored to the joint, the less structural damage that will be sustained to the cartilage and bony structures within the joint. If one is suffering from osteoarthritis, it is not possible to replenish damaged joint cartilage or underlying bone damage, however people suffering from osteoarthritis should rest when pain starts becoming more severe and keep the pain to a manageable level. How may Bowen Therapy help people with Arthritis?With rheumatoid arthritis, Bowen Therapy works through the body's nervous and fascial system, which means we are working on a root cause - the nervous system which is in turn attacking the lining of the joints. With osteoarthritis, when the worn, rough joint surfaces are not tightly held together by the surrounding tight muscles, the rough surfaces can glide past each other more easily and clients may report they can do much more before they feel pain. Many Bowen Therapy clients with either osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis may report a faster rate of healing, a better range of movement in their joints and feeling more comfortable doing the activities they enjoy. And with Bowen therapy we address the whole body, targeting several different areas we see as contributing to the problem, and that's how we may get our results to last longer.

What is Hip (Trochanteric) Bursitis?
What causes Hip (Trochanteric) Bursitis? 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. When to Seek Help for Hip 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. How may Bowen Therapy help people with Hip Bursitis? 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.
