4 Steps to Hip Pain Relief

Take the four steps to Hip Pain Relief

01

LISTEN

Listen To Your Body

Most aches and pains settle quickly by themselves or with some modified activity over a couple of days, but it’s not a good idea to ignore severe pain or niggling pains that last for more than a few weeks. As a general rule, the longer the duration of pain before you start treatment, the longer the treatment process, so don͛t let things go unattended for long periods.

ACT

Take Appropriate Action

If symptoms don’t settle quickly, take the next step and get some help. It can sometimes be overwhelming deciding where to turn. Health professionals with University level qualifications and an ongoing interest in studying the scientific evidence are best placed to provide the care you need. A Hip Pain Professional has a special interest and experience in managing problems that cause hip pain.

04

ENGAGE

Engage Actively in Your Own Management

Getting help from a health professional doesn’t just mean getting someone to provide a passive quick-fix, such as an injection or manipulation. While passive treatments can help to provide some short-term relief, most problems and particularly those that you have had for a while will need your active participation to achieve the best result. Factors such as muscle weaknesses, irritating movement habits, poor workplace set up, lack of physical activity and high body weight may all contribute to your problem and will never be fixed with an injection, manipulation, massage, or a piece of strapping tape. Listen closely to your health professional and help them help you.
