Massage Therapy Can Help Relieve Hip Pain
Pain in the hip area can be relieved by massage therapy. Massage can help to increase mobility in hip movement, relieve some pain and stress on the hip joint itself, and help assist correct pelvic alignment. Muscles can be so tight in the hip region that they present as symptoms of Sciatica. Your hips possess four groups of hip joint muscles that work together to allow movement; gluteal, lateral, abductor and iliopsoas. The muscles involved are known as the lateral rotators, or the “deep six.” These six muscles are situated deep within your buttocks, known as the gluteus maximus, and allow for external and internal hip rotation. Massaging the deep six is a good way to loosen your muscles.
A number of specific conditions causing lower back, hip and leg pain may respond well when treated with therapeutic massage. These include low back pain, sciatica, lordosis, kyphosis, scoliosis, lumbar disk pathology, spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, facet joint irritation, neuromuscular pain, anterior pelvic tilt, posterior pelvic tilt, lateral pelvic tilt, trochanteric bursitis, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, piriformis syndrome, muscle strain and patellofemoral pain syndrome, and hamstring pulls, just to name a few!
