Why see someone trained in both Orthopedics & Pelvic Health for hip problems?

Deep muscles of the hip, the obturator internus and the piriformis, have direct fascial connections with the pelvic floor. In this way, pelvic floor dysfunction and hip dysfunction can be related. Hip dysfunction can also be driven by the foot or the low back.

If you have been through orthopedic physical therapy, and you feel like there is a missing piece, consider a consultation with us!  

Having both a pelvic floor and orthopedic background allows for a comprehensive view & an "inside out" approach for assessment and treatment of the hip.

This does not necessarily mean having an internal exam on visit 1 or ever to treat your orthopedic pain, but it does mean that your therapist will screen/clear other body regions including the pelvic floor, foot/ankle, the core, and the diaphragm.
