My Hip Story

After spending my childhood avoiding team sports, track sports, any activities that involved a lot of walking or running, I realised in my late teens that maybe I had a problem…

…and maybe my hip shouldn’t make crunching/clicking noises when I walk – and regularly feeling shooting pain across my lower back and down my leg was not normal.

In a casual conversation with my mum in my early 20s, she mentioned I was born with a dislocated hip, had to wear special pants as a baby, and was told I would probably have a limp…

…

…oh, I get it now, that makes a lot of sense.? …Wah…

With that new information I felt empowered to make some changes. I had been training and studying Kung Fu since my early teens, and whilst a lot of kicking pads made me sore for a few days, a lot of the stretching and breathing had helped me.

I decided to take charge. I went to doctors, chiropractors, osteopaths, physios, PT’s, exercise coaches, yoga teachers, I tried everything I could and took little pieces from everything. Eventually I began studying massage, soft tissue therapy, fascia and anatomy and numerous other anatomical and alignment systems. They all had their tips, tricks and practices that helped. I knew I needed a comprehensive personalised system.

The very best of them were

• qigong, partly becasue it’s one of the practices I loved to do (it’s part of Kung Fu – my big passion),
• bodywork practices that you can do yourself (like yoga therapy and shiatsu combined)
• expansive breathing with visualisation
• consructive rest positions
• the mindset of ‘being where I am’ – here and now – and not trying to be somewhere I am not!

I finally managed to become pain free by my late 20s, and have never had any hip discomfort since.

So what’s the magic system… and how can you create one that works for you?
