Cathie Stone Physiotherapy

I’m writing this on January 22nd after having had my hip replacements. When I was in hospital I had forgotten my passwords et cetera for my WordPress site so this is written as it happened but only published after the event. It may be of interest to anybody embarking on one hip replacement and certainly anyone having two done at the same time.

I’ve always been fit and active, so it came as a shock when I started to get hip pain about six months ago.

First some night discomfort and latterly sharp stabbing pain in the groin and knee.

Without being boring I have bilateral hip impingement . Just like Andy Murray. I’m in good company but he is much younger than me.The only way forward is to have both hips replaced. Because I am female I cant have a resurfacing, our bone isn’t good enough.

After my recent trip to South Africa and attending the fantastic Be Activated course, I’m delighted to say the treatment is proving as effective as I expected it was going to.

To start with I read all I could about the technique, then bought a “flash drive” with the course on video – 10 hours!!!

BUT there is no substitute for “hands on. “

The technique is South African, devised by Capetonian physiotherapist Douglas Heel.

Douglas travels the world teaching, but I decided to do the course whilst in South Africa, with Carel Wildenboer who works alongside Douglas.

It was excellent and consolidated all my pre- course study.

I have used the technique on several people and have been delighted with the results – one lady has even been told she looks years younger, this is because the pain has gone out of her face and she is much more upright.

So far, the people I have seen, all with totally different problems, have had very good results.
