What Is Back and Hip Pain?
If you have back or hip pain and were told that medication or rest will help, you’re probably feeling frustrated. You might have been advised to stop doing the things you love because continuing would only make it worse. Maybe you were even told you’d eventually need surgery. Now, you’re confused because everyone is telling you different things, and you don’t fully understand what’s happening with your body. The pain is so intense that you can’t walk, work, or even bend down to play with your kids. You feel stuck, unable to do the things that bring you joy.
What Are The Symptoms?
You’ve probably tried everything – medications, surgeries, injections, exercises, and stretches – but nothing seems to work. What many people are missing, however, is the role of the fascia, the connective tissue that holds our bodies together. We are essentially one piece of tissue, and over time, little traumas – like falling off a bike as a kid or minor accidents – start to tighten and dehydrate the fascia, restricting your movement. Suddenly, you find yourself unable to walk or move as easily, and even simple movements become painful.
The impact of back and hip pain on your daily life cannot be understated, especially if the pain is chronic. For people with severe pain, basic activities such as walking, climbing stairs, getting in and out of a car, or even sitting for extended periods can become challenging. This can lead to a decrease of physical activity, which can contribute to other health problems, such as weight gain or cardiovascular issues. Many people also experience difficulties sleeping, as certain positions may aggravate the pain. A lack of sleep can cause low energy levels and a low mood generally throughout the day, which can cause emotional and psychological distress. Not being able to return to the activities you once enjoyed can result in increased frustration, anxiety, or even depression.

Discover the Southwest Approach To Fixing Back and Hip Pain...
At Southwest Myofascial Release, we approach back and hip as one, focusing on the body’s fascia – connective tissues that surround muscles, nerves, and organs. Rather than simply addressing symptoms in the back or hips, we treat the entire body as an interconnected system. One of the primary techniques used is applying gentle, sustained pressure on specific parts of the body to release tension in the fascia. This method helps alleviate restrictions in movement and can significantly reduce pain in the back and hips.
We always begin each treatment plan with a detailed assessment to identify the root causes of pain. This evaluation includes analyzing posture, movement patterns, and specific areas of tightness or discomfort. By understanding the unique circumstances of each patient, we can tailor our treatment to address your individual needs.
In addition to myofascial release, we take a holistic approach by considering the whole body. Pain in the back or the hip can often be influenced by other areas, such as the pelvis or legs. By identifying the root cause, the therapy we implement can restore balance and function throughout the body. The incorporation of gentle stretching and movement techniques further enhances recovery, helping you improve flexibility and strength.
Another important aspect of our approach at Southwest Myofascial Release is self-care education. You are provided with techniques and exercises to perform at home, so you can maintain progress even when you’re not on the treatment table. This education fosters a sense of ownership over your healing journey, encouraging proactive engagement and participation in your recovery.
Ultimately, the goal of Southwest Myofascial Release is not only to relieve pain but also improve the daily lives of our patients. By restoring proper movement patterns and reducing muscle tightness, you can return to your normal activities more comfortably. Furthermore, we recognize the psychological aspects of pain and may incorporate discussions about stress and work on the emotional impact that can contribute to physical discomfort, thereby promoting a more holistic healing process.
