Hip osteoarthritis massage therapy TorontoHip Osteoarthritis

Ongoing wear in the hip joint. Similar in principle to knee osteoarthritis, though the hip brings more capsular and bony impingement — some ranges are very uncomfortable and possibly damaging to push through.

Not a diagnosis — for more information, contact me or another trusted healthcare provider.

The approach is muscle-focused rather than joint-focused — bone spurs and sensitive joint surfaces are things we work around rather than push into. The same pain–tension loop applies: chronic hip pain tightens the muscles around it, which causes more pain, and massage breaks that loop for relief before remedial strengthening builds ongoing stability.

What I Focus On

• Muscle-Focused Release
• Working Around Impingement
• Strength
• Ongoing Management
