Tucson Massage – The Hip Bone Is Connected To The Neck Bone

Since beginning my practice as a body worker here at Peaceful Spirit approximately two years ago, I’ve come to appreciate the importance and the complexities of working with clients who report a variety of issues related to the pelvis. Most people in the beginning are unaware of their pelvis and how it relates to their body.

Most of the clients I have treated have been women, not withstanding a few men here and there. What I’ve come to appreciate as a therapist is a certain relationship of the pelvis to upper back and neck tightness and low back pain with heaviness in the lower limbs of the body.

Pressure from the internal organs, perineum, ligaments and muscles from the pelvic floor transmit heaviness upward and downward from the spine. Low back joints can often adhere to the sacrum for many people. The upper back and neck then compensate for this tightness, creating challenges related to range of motion, rotation and flexibility. These conditions appear to be only related to the upper part of the body, when in fact, the pelvis requires attention as well. Neck pain, headaches or other conditions may then occur for many clients, particularly if they are at a desk or computer all day. Often, one side of the body feels much different from the other.

Clients have reported that my use of both Visceral Manipulation and Cranio-Sacral Therapy have proven to be very effective in helping them with these (as well as many other) conditions or concerns.

As the title says, the hip bone really is connected to the neck bone therefore, where the pain exists does not necessarily mean that this is where the problem lives. This is why it is important to look at the whole body when making an assessment and creating a plan to help the body perform at optimum levels!
