12 Thursday October 29 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz HIP PaIn? Talk To uS. If you suffer from hip pain, don’t just put it down to “old age”. With the right advice and treatment, you may be relieved to realize how quickly you can improve. “Do I need a hip replacement?”. This is often the first place people’s minds wander to when they start experiencing hip pain. In fact, it is this fear that often prevents people from seeking treatment in the first place. The reality is that in many cases, the hip pain is not from significant underlying arthritis which could lead to a hip replacement. With this in mind - what is the best approach? Here are 3 important pieces of advice to get you started on the pathway to better movement. 1. Invest in a thorough assessment from a health professional to establish the underlying cause of your symptoms. 2. Get moving, any movement is positive. 3. Commit to a plan for long term health of your hips and body. The team at Freedom Health Physiotherapy & Pilates are experts at assessing and treating hip pain.

With higher temperatures and longer distances travelled, now is the time to service your car for summer. Engine fluids, tyres, battery, belts, hoses and air conditioning checks are all part of the summer service requirements. Something often overlooked are Pollen filter replacements. These filters clean the air that comes into the car, filtering out pollen, dust, dirt, exhaust fumes and any other airborne material.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday October 29 2020 13 HEALTH & AWARENESS Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or could it be mainly my muscles? The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints. Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests that a major part of the pain could be due to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. “Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason for the pain may be the muscles around the joint,” she explains. The images show how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was one of the factors that made her muscles spasm but the other was that older people move less and the flexed position the hip is in when we sit is particularly bad for the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that although the client was 89 and could have muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain been “given up on” or told to live with the are the red areas in the drawings), Mike Pero a Bishopdale knot pain, she made NorWest a difference to her health September 24 SHOULDER KNEE PAIN HIP PAIN in a muscle on the back of the shoulder and wellbeing.
