Lynn – recovering from hip pain
15 October 2025Hip pain was turning Lynn’s world upside down. Once active and independent in her 60s, she suddenly found herself wincing on the stairs and struggling to enjoy her garden. No dramatic injury — just a creeping discomfort that refused to go away.
When Lynn came to see Luke, our clinic lead, he carried out a thorough assessment and suspected greater trochanteric bursitis — irritation of the bursa on the outside of the hip, often linked to overload or movement imbalances.
Luke created a plan combining hands-on treatment to release tension with specific rehab drills to strengthen and stabilise the hip. Exercises like side-lying leg lifts, bridges, and stability work became Lynn’s daily focus.
Progress wasn’t instant, but Lynn stayed committed and it paid off. Bit by bit, the pain eased, her strength returned, and her confidence grew. Today she’s back climbing stairs and pottering happily in her garden without discomfort.
Lynn’s journey is a brilliant reminder: with the right plan, persistence, and support, it’s possible to move better and feel stronger no matter what pain you are struggling with.
