8-04 Intestines, Bowel, Colon and Manual Therapies to Improve Pain, Symptoms and Range of Motion

Hip Range of Motion
    Hip range of motion can be limited by musculoskeletal (muscle, ligament, joint) tension or compression. 
    Hip range can also be influenced by pain whether the pain is from the musculoskeletal system or referred from the visceral system, including the colon, uterus and prostate.
     Cancers, tumors, obesity can also affect movement of the hip. 
    The sciatic nerve dysfunction will also influence hip range of motion and both the sciatic nerve and the visceral function can be influenced by the limbic system...........Buy This Issue Today

Hip Range of Motion - Normal Aging
  "With the possible exception of hip extension, this study supports the conclusion that, at least to age 74 years, any substantial loss of joint mobility should be viewed as abnormal and not attributable to aging and therefore should be treated much as it would be in a younger individual."(Roach,1991).
