The Hip Joint is a ball and socket joint designed to be able to withstand a large amount of wear and tear from your everyday movements and also has a large range of motion or movement. This allows us to do things like walk, run and jump with ease. The hip joint is surrounded by many muscles, ligaments and tendons that help us move around and as is the case with injuries, arthritis, and wear & tear this can often lead to dysfunction or pain in and around the hip. Once pain and dysfunction starts we start changing the way we move such as walking and running, this can lead to other areas of the body compensating and also becoming sore and injured such as the low back and also causing sciatica and knee Pain. The hip and its surrounding structures are important to movement and need to be looked after at every stage of life.
