Is my Buttock pain really my hip!???....

Are you feeling pain in the thigh, knee, groin, buttock, hip or back??
Are you getting pain in the mornings and going upstairs?.....
…….Chances are….as you get older you are! 😊

Did you know that any of these painful areas could originate from the hip?!

Working out ‘where’ the pain is coming from is key to addressing how to improve.
Osteo Arthritis (OA) in the hip is one of the most common long-term health problems reported to GPs with 1 in 5 adults over the age of 45 being affected. According to NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) it is the leading cause of disability.
Research is clear, that if you experience moderate to severe symptoms, you could benefit from physiotherapy.
Mobilisation of the joint and strengthening the surrounding muscles can delay the need for surgical intervention for years.

John:” I was suffering with a niggling ache at the top of the thigh for weeks. I was told by my GP I had some wear in the joint and would need a hip replacement. After just 3 sessions, I didn’t need any pain relief. It is now 4 years since I sought the advice of Banstead Physio & Therapies and the hip is still going strong. I am doing exercises to stay strong and keep as flexible as I can for as long as I can!”

Are you, like lots of our patients, reminding your teen to sit up straight, stop slouching or put down their devices…?

Apart from looking rather unappealing, bad posture in teenagers (and anyone else, for that matter) can lead to lasting changes over time.

Teens undergo numerous physical changes during growth and puberty that can impact the condition of their muscles and joints. Continued use of devices for long periods, carrying heavy bags, or sitting for long periods, encourages the head to tilt forward. This puts strain on the neck and potentially can lead to headaches and permanent changes to the spine. It may start to define their body structure for life.

Poor posture when using a PC
Sit correctly when using a PC or laptop.
Many of the issues we see in the clinic for our younger patients relate to posture! But with tech and automation usage increasing, our adult patients are suffering from symptoms relating to poor posture as well.

We can help you take steps to improve spinal alignment. To address poor postural habits and to make small changes to improve your health and well-being.

This was the result of a crash my husband had whilst cycling a couple of weeks ago.

As you can see, his helmet was totally wrecked!
It did however, in the words of the trauma consultant, ‘in no uncertain terms, save his life’.

In our family we have always worn helmets for cycling and it’s something I feel passionate about as in my line of work I have seen the devastation a severe head injury can cause.

Some cycling and helmet facts:

Brain injuries account for the majority of the 80,000 cycling-related head injuries treated in A&E each year.

Wearing a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by about 48-60% on average.

Not wearing a helmet TRIPLES the fatal head injury risk for cyclists. (65%)

In a study of 76,032 cyclists with head/neck injuries- helmet wearers experienced less severe injuries, shorter hospital stays and lower mortality rate than non- wearers.

The data is clear. Wearing a helmet may make a massive difference. It will greatly improve your chances of avoiding serious head injury or death in a crash. Therefore, please ALWAYS wear a helmet and advise those close to you to do the same whether you are cycling for training or ‘just popping down the road’.

A point to note: Contrary to belief, research performed by Dyson school of engineering found that there was no correlation between price and protection, with the highest-performing helmet being one of the less expensive, retailing at around £50! Even more reason to put one on your wish list today!
