Cause and Effect
Can hip pain cause knee pain? Can hip pain cause back pain?
Living with pain is a total buzzkill, right? But guess what? You're not stuck with it. If you've been wrestling with hip pain and now your back or knees are joining the party, it's like your body's way of saying, "Hey, I need some help here!"
Now, it's not just the hip causing trouble; it's more about what's causing both the hip and the additional pains. In about 9 out of 10 cases, it boils down to how you stand, sit, and stroll through life. Your body's basically sending an SOS, asking for a bit of attention. It's not about blaming yourself; it's more about figuring out the solution and making a change.
Don’t run and hide in fear of this being your fault. That whole drama is what will keep you in pain. What matters is finding a solution. Lifestyle factors play a starring role in this pain saga, and until you figure out how to treat your body right, pain becomes the annoying sidekick. It’s a simple cause and effect scenario. But here's the cool part – realizing your actions are causing the pain means you can switch things up and bid farewell to the pain party. The result? A body that feels awesome, is strong, balanced, and ready to handle your daily grind.
So, why the hip pain in the first place? It's all about how you stand, sit, walk, and carry stress. The solution? Dive into the practice of getting to know your body – understand its language of sensation and figure out how to align yourself with gravity. Alignment isn't just about looking good on the outside (though that's a bonus). It's about feeling the alignment. Most of the fitness world overlooks this crucial aspect, and those who focus on it often get hung up on the visual representation of it. Very few truly get the feel of it, and even fewer know how to teach that feel to others.
Here's the kicker – you can learn it for yourself. Check out my Guide to the Body [link] if you want to go solo, and feel confident with moving and noticing the sensations of the body during movement.

Let's kick that pain to the curb together, and get you inhabiting your body fully in a way that will last your lifetime! 🚀💪
