Hip Pain and Pelvic Pain Relief Using the Feldenkrais Method
Hip pain is a common and confusing symptom as there are many causes.
Hip joint pathology involves pain in or around the groin area. Similarly, pain in the hip may actually reflect a problem in your back or leg.
Pelvic and groin pain are common and have many causes. For women, pelvic pain may originate in gynecologic areas. In men, groin pain may originate in the testes or scrotum. Sometimes the cause is unknown.
The Feldenkrais approach to your pelvic, groin and hip pain asserts
the hip is a ball and socket joint that attaches to the pelvis in a very particular way for the legs to work well
the spine must also be supported by the pelvis in a way that allows the hips to glide easily in their sockets when the legs move
the spine, hips, and legs must function as a system or the muscles in the pelvic and groin areas can be stressed
stressed pelvic and groin muscles can result in chronic pain
Inefficient and ineffective interactions between related parts of the body cause strain on the entire system. For example, by contributing to an altered position of the pelvis and hip, a rigid ankle or old knee injury could be the cause of your hip pain.

Feldenkrais hip pain treatment goals are to optimize the function of the hips and pelvis as they relate to the rest of your body, and to prevent your hip pain from returning.
