Chesham Bois, Amersham, Buckinghamshire
    Non-invasive spinal therapy

    Hip pain

    Hip pain can originate from the hip joint itself or be referred from the spine or pelvis. The two are closely connected — spinal and pelvic alignment directly influences how the hip joint loads and moves. Virginia's approach starts by assessing the whole system: spine, pelvis, sacroiliac joints, and hip, to identify where the pain is actually coming from before planning a treatment that addresses the real cause.

    What you might notice

    • Pain in the groin, outer hip, or buttock
    • Stiffness getting in and out of a car or deep chair
    • Limping or favouring one side when walking
    • Reduced range of movement in the hip
    • Night pain when lying on the affected side

    How Virginia can help

    • ASMI mobilises the lumbar spine and pelvis to relieve stress on the hip
    • Reduces tight hip flexor and glute muscles that restrict hip movement
    • Addresses sacroiliac joint dysfunction that often presents as hip pain
    • A plan that improves mobility and comfort in daily activities
    • Works alongside GP or orthopaedic care for hip arthritis or structural problems

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I know if my hip pain is coming from my spine or my hip?
    It can be genuinely difficult to tell — and sometimes it's both. Virginia will assess your movement patterns, the distribution of your pain, and your response to specific tests to build a clear picture. She'll explain her findings in plain language.
    I have hip arthritis. Can spinal therapy still help?
    Yes, in many cases. Spinal and pelvic work can reduce the compensatory loading on an arthritic hip and improve your overall comfort and mobility — even if the arthritis itself can't be reversed. Virginia will work within the limits of your joint.
    Do I need a referral or scan before coming?
    No referral is needed. If you have hip X-rays or MRI scans, bring them — they help Virginia understand the local picture. But she can assess and treat without them.
