Hip Pain Relief

Hip pain can show up as stiffness, tightness, or discomfort with movement—but it’s often not just a hip issue.

At Bodywork Remedies in Santa Rosa, CA, I take a full-body approach to hip pain, looking at how your hips, spine, and overall movement patterns work together.

This can also include symptoms like sciatica, where discomfort travels through the hip and down the leg.

This is especially helpful if you’ve tried stretching, massage, or other treatments and haven’t gotten lasting results.

Why Hip Pain Happens

Hip pain is often influenced by more than just the hip itself.

It can be affected by:

  • Limited mobility in the hips or surrounding joints

  • Poor control or stability through the pelvis

  • Tightness or restriction in surrounding tissues

  • Compensation patterns throughout the body

Because the hips play a central role in movement, they both influence and are influenced by what’s happening above and below them.

When other areas aren’t functioning well, the hips often take on more stress than they should.

A more complete approach to hip pain

Most hip pain isn’t coming from just one place—it’s influenced by how your body moves and compensates as a whole.

My work combines Fascia Stretch Therapy (FST) and Dermal Fascial Restoration (DFR) to address hip pain from multiple angles.

FST improves mobility, joint function, and movement through guided stretching and traction—helping restore proper mechanics throughout the body.

DFR works through the skin to access the fascial system in a different way, helping release restrictions that can influence how your body moves and feels.

Together, these approaches create more complete and longer-lasting changes in how your body moves and feels.

Hip Pain and Sciatica

Sciatica is often related to how the hips, spine, and surrounding tissues are functioning together.

When there are restrictions or imbalances in these areas, it can place increased tension on the nervous system and contribute to symptoms that travel through the hip and down the leg.

By improving mobility and reducing restrictions throughout the system, we can help reduce the tension contributing to these symptoms.
