A "Hitched Up" Hip

Patients often tell me they feel that one of their hips feels “higher” than the other. 99% of the time, they are correct!

A common underlying cause of this is distortion in the pelvis.

The “pelvic girdle,”  or pelvic composite, consists of several movable joints—-the sacroiliac, lumbosacral, hip, and pubic symphysis joints. Distortion of the pelvis can involve one, two, or several being misaligned or aberrant positionally in articulation with their neighbor(s).

After careful assessment of the pelvis, I make precise, directional adjustments with the Activator instrument to correct the distortion and bring relief of discomfort or a “hitched up” hip.
