Physio after hip surgery

Looking for physio after hip surgery?

It’s a good idea to help your body recover from your hip surgery but don’t just consider physiotherapy. There are many choices when it comes to physical therapy.  Osteopathy?  Chiropractic?  Physiotherapy?  Sport massage?  For an acute injury these therapies are the most commonly sought.

Why not try Somatics?

For long term muscle tightness, persistent niggles, mobility loss, postural changes and chronic pain affecting multiple areas, and to aid recovery from hip surgery, Somatics offers something different.

How is Somatics different from other therapies?

• It treats the body holistically, addressing muscles, fascia and tissues along the entire chain.

• It is not therapy, you will learn to deeply perceive the improved body comfort that occur with the movements, and you will learn to recreate this level of comfort for yourself.  This allows long-term and sustainable relief that is self-directed.

• The target is the nervous system and brain, not muscles.

• The neuromuscular changes brought about by Somatic movement take place at the level of the brain cortex.  Hands on work (where the practitioner moves your body) does not involve neo-cortex at all. The cortex is key in that muscular changes are fostered by the nervous system, and are thus incorporated into your neurophysiology, having a lasting effect.

• There is no stretching.  Muscles are ‘pandiculated’: “Pandiculation begins with a conscious voluntary contraction, recruiting the affected muscle or muscle groups to shorten even beyond their habituated tonus. Then, by carefully and deliberately lengthening the muscles from that full contraction, the brain is able to reset the muscle length and tonus. This method gives strong feedback to the brain, allowing it to “refresh” its sensation of those muscles, and to slowly reset length and tonus. The changes in the muscle occur at the level of the nervous system, thereby conferring greater sensation, motor control and coordination. Pandiculation facilitates our muscles relaxing from a contracted state.”
