Maybe you know this...
Longer walks are no longer enjoyable. Climbing stairs is difficult, and after sitting for a while, it takes a moment for your hip to "warm up" again. You might no longer be able to sleep on the affected side or avoid certain movements altogether.
Perhaps you've already tried physiotherapy, medication, or various treatments. It gets better in the short term – but the symptoms always return.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
Symptoms
Hip pain can manifest itself in very different ways. Patients often report:
Pain in the groin
Pain on the outside of the hip
Pain in the buttocks
Pain when walking
Pain when climbing stairs
Pain after prolonged sitting
Morning stiffness
Pain when lying on one's side
Limited mobility
Radiating pain in the thigh or knee
Possible medical diagnoses
Hip pain can be associated with, among other things, the following diagnoses:
Hip osteoarthritis (coxarthrosis)
Bursitis (trochanteric bursitis)
Hip impingement (FAI)
Tendon irritation
Muscle injuries
Labral tears
Irritation after surgery
Overexertion due to sports or work
A diagnosis provides important information about the structure of the hip.
However, it does not always fully explain why pain persists or why everyday movements continue to cause discomfort despite treatment.
Therefore, what is crucial is not only the diagnosis, but also the question of why your body cannot fully carry out the natural regulatory process.
My approach
When hip pain occurs, the focus is often on the joint itself.
In my experience, however, that is not always enough.
The hip is part of a complex interplay of joints, muscles, fascia, and the nervous system. If the body remains in a persistent state of pain, discomfort can persist even after the original cause has healed.
Therefore, with the 5XPain™ method, I not only look at the hip itself, but also at the interplay of the nervous system, regulation and the individual reaction patterns of your body.
The aim of the treatment is to release blockages and support the body in returning to a state in which natural regulation becomes possible.
Many patients report reduced pain, increased mobility, or a lighter feeling when walking even during treatment.
The body doesn't heal because the pain disappears. The pain disappears when the body is able to regulate itself again.
What can change again
When hip pain subsides, often much more than just the hip changes.
Many patients report that they are experiencing:
enjoy longer walks
pain-free stair climbing
get up without discomfort
sleep on the affected side
to do sports
longer distances
put on their shoes more easily
to make everyday life more active again
Because often it's not just the hip that's the problem – but everything you have to do without as a result.
