re: hip pain

[Natalie]

I think I caught a hip joint pathology from a client! She just had replacement surgery and is healing very well and feeling great. I've been working with her for a few years, even before she developed the joint pain. Now she's better, and I'm feeling the exact same symptoms, in the same hip! Seriously, I have a slower practise, but have been very busy in the last few weeks, and have also been driving a lot during the same time period. The pain is right in the joint, but not so much when I'm active, mainly at night and on waking. I have been taking all the supplements for a few years as it was starting to develop then, but it "went away". Now it's back, and my first step will be to up the glucosamine, and see a good MT. O yeah, I'm turning 55 next week, and that sure sets alarms off internally!
Suggestions!!!

I would recommend a little MFR work on the hips and legs Jon_O.
You could also try doing some of the work yourself with a 4 inch therapy ball... Personally, I think that working with another therapist is more beneficial though.

I agree. The best thing you can do is go get some work done on yourself. If this doesn't work, you may need a chiropractic adjustment. If the hip, sacrum or low back are out of adjustment, it can result in hip pain.
