A: There
are several styles of massage for hip pain, or pain in the hip. I offer several styles of massage for hip
pain - including:
.
1. Orthopedic massage - as used in physical therapy offices for workplace injuries of the hip, sports injuries of the hip, etc. .
2. Chiropractic massage - as used in chiropractic offices to relax muscle and connective tissues before a chiropractor makes an adjustment. .
3. Structural Integration - more commonly known as Rolfing and Hellerwork - to release fascia in the hip, rotators, and low back that can be applying
continual stress. .
4. Shiatsu Accupressure - deep thumb pressures and thumb petrisagge into the hip joint, and along the sacrum and illiac crest. .
5. Lomi lomi Hot stones - hot stones are used to massage hip, glute, hamstring muscles - muscles soften quickly due to combination of heat
plus movement of the stones can give light to deep pressure.
