Lower Back and Hip Pain | 7 Frequently Overlooked Causes
When one of the sacroiliac joints is stuck and unmoving, as can often occur with pelvic torsion (see Postural Distortion above) sacroiliac joint dysfunction may result leading to lower back and hip pain. Sometimes the pain is located in the stuck SI joint itself. Sometimes the opposite sacroiliac joint may become hypermobile (too loose) as a ...
Tensor Fascia Lata I A Major Cause of Unexplained Hip Pain
How the Tensor Fascia Lata (TFL) Causes Hip Pain. 1) Once the TFL has been tight and ischemic for some period of time (it’s different for each individual), it can develop myofascial trigger points.

The Iliopsoas Muscle and its Frequently Overlooked Syndrome
Introduction. Situated deep within our core, the iliopsoas muscle is one of the most complex structures in the body, playing crucial roles in hip flexion, postural stability, and walking. However, its significance extends well beyond these roles, as it holds the key to unraveling a wide range of pain and dysfunction that cannot be detected ...
One Sided Lower Back Pain
One-sided lower back pain is often the result of postural distortion, one of the five primary causes of lower back pain. Postural distortion means the body is off its center line of gravity. This can result from a torsion in the pelvis which pulls one hip joint up higher than the other. When this occurs, the leg on that side is pulled up as ...
Hip Stretches to Relieve Lower Back and Hip Pain - Lower Back …
When it comes to muscular compensation and lower back pain, the muscles of the hips are the chief stabilizer. In other words, when we have lower back pain, the body is constantly attempting to figure out how to move without stressing the back further.

A Twisted Pelvis, Also Called Pelvic Torsion, Can Be Corrected
2: the twisting of a bodily organ or part on its own axis. 3: the reactive torque that an elastic solid exerts by reason of being under torsion. Pelvic Torsion (a twisted pelvis), then, is a condition in which one pelvic bone is twisting in one direction and the other pelvic bone is either 1) fixed in place or 2) is twisting in the opposite ...
The Root of Referred Lower Back & Hip Pain - Lower Back Pain …
What distinguishes myofascial trigger points from other tender points is that it creates a referred sensation — pain, tingling, numbness, aching, or thermal sensations like hot or cold. This referred sensation can either radiate out from the point, or it can refer to another part of the body. If a point is simply tender but does not refer, we ...
Pain at Top Corner of Pelvis, Hip Flexors, and Lower Back
At first the pain was more near the hip. But later it seemed to be located in the top, "corner" of the pelvic bone (the bone that sticks out when you put your hands on your hips). When I would do certain poses, a shooting pain would seem to come from that spot. Poses such as bending at the hips, and shifting my center of gravity out to the left ...
