Living with chronic hip and back pain can be a challenge. It can significantly reduce mobility, limit activities, increase stress and negatively impact overall wellbeing. From mild to severe, the discomfort in these areas of the body can cause daily struggles for those affected by it.
Fortunately, there are ways to address the underlying cause of back and hip pain through posture correction and alignment techniques. It can help relieve pressure on the spine or hips while allowing space for healing to take place.
Symptoms of Chronic Back and Hip Pain
Chronic back and hip pain can manifest in many forms. Some of the most common symptoms include localized tenderness and stiffness, radiating pain in the back, hip, groin or legs, decreased range of motion in the affected area, swelling or inflammation, and difficulty standing or sitting for long periods of time.
Causes of Chronic Back and Hip Pain
Chronic back and hip pain can have various causes, ranging from posture-related issues to medical conditions. Poor posture is one of the most common causes of chronic back and hip pain.
The muscle imbalances related to postural misalignment can lead to:
- Excess grinding in the joints
- Increased pressure on the discs
- Underperforming and overcompensating muscles
In other words, poor posture often leads to pain, mobility issues and damage to joints and soft tissues. By realigning the posture and rebalancing the muscles, pain is relieved and the body has the space to regenerate and heal.
Sitting for long periods of time in an incorrect posture can also put excessive strain on the back and hip muscles. Medical conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, stenosis, scoliosis, and arthritis can all lead to chronic pain in the back or hips. But please know that those conditions do not have to include pain. The healthier your posture, the more likely you are to prevent pain.

Furthermore, postural alignment therapy can help reduce tension in the muscles that were overcompensating for posture-related issues. With regular posture correction sessions, old posture habits can be improved long-term. Providing lasting relief from chronic back and hip pain.

- Check Your Posture – Regularly check yourself in the mirror to make sure you’re maintaining good posture throughout the day.
- Exercise Regularly – Incorporating exercises that improve posture and core strength, as well as stretching can help keep posture in check and reduce strain on the spine or hips.
