Hip
Your Hips. Our Specialty.
Hips are one of the strongest joint structures in the body and are part of the pelvic girdle, which connects the lower and upper body. Known as a ‘ball and socket’ joint, the femur comprises the ‘ball’ and the hip is the socket in which it rests. As powerful weight-bearing joints, your hips enable your body to move forwards, backwards, inwards, outwards and twist in a full range of motions, all while fully supporting the weight of your upper body.
