Your MRI says โ€œnothing.โ€

But youโ€™re still hurting.

Now what?

This is where a lot of people get stuck. They have the MRI, theyโ€™re told everything looks normal, but nobody takes the time to look at the whole story.

Because an MRI is a picture of what something looks like at one moment.

It doesnโ€™t tell us how everything is working together.

Thatโ€™s why we donโ€™t start with the MRI. We start by listening, asking questions, and figuring out what could actually be driving the pain.

And if youโ€™re not getting better, then imaging can become another piece of the puzzle.

Not the whole puzzle.

If youโ€™ve been told your MRI looks fine but your hip still hurts, this conversation is worth hearing.

What happens to your hip pain when you move your spine?

That question can tell you more than simply asking, โ€œWhere does it hurt?โ€

Repeated press-ups are commonly used in spinal assessment because they specifically load the lower back into extension.

Hereโ€™s why that matters:

If your hip pain is being influenced by your spine, changing the load on your spine may also change what you feel in your hip.

So if you load the spine with this movement and your hip symptoms change especially if they improve, that gives you an important clue about where your symptoms may be coming from.

Itโ€™s not about guessing based on where you feel pain.

Itโ€™s about changing one thing and paying attention to what happens.

You stretch, walk around, get moving, and eventually feel better. But the stiffness comes back the next morning.

Sometimes itโ€™s a mobility problem. But sometimes, the ๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ž ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐Ÿ ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ after an old injury, repeated stress, or years of limited recovery. They can feel similar, but they may not respond the same way.

I know this personally. After multiple knee surgeries, stairs became difficult, and even sitting for a while could leave my knee incredibly stiff. I tried strengthening, massage, and stretching, but the improvement never seemed to last.

That experience led me to look more closely at ๐‘๐ž๐ ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐’๐ก๐จ๐œ๐ค๐ฐ๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐„๐Œ๐“๐“. Not as a magic fix, but as another approach when we understand whatโ€™s actually happening in the tissue.

Your hip hurts. So naturally, you assume the problem is your hip.

But what if the painful area isnโ€™t where the problem starts?

Research has found that a significant portion of hip pain can actually be related to the spine. That means focusing only on the hip joint may miss an important part of the picture.

Instead of guessing, thereโ€™s a way to check.

Thatโ€™s what this test is designed to help you do: look for clues about whether your symptoms are behaving more like a hip problem or a spine-related problem.

Itโ€™s not about diagnosing yourself, itโ€™s about understanding your pain better and knowing what to look at next.

Watch the full test and follow each step carefully.

For weeks, the front of my thigh tightened up every night. Not during the day, just at night, and it was keeping me awake. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

I stretched it. Didnโ€™t help. Finally I hit my โ€œokay, Iโ€™ve GOT to fix thisโ€ moment.

Hereโ€™s the thing: the pain was in my quad (the site), but I suspected the real culprit was my deep hip flexor, my iliopsoas, on the left side (the source). Iโ€™ve been working hard to strengthen that area after years of old injuries and overuse, and it was letting me know.

So I came in for a tune-up: one shockwave treatment. The pain was gone.

Shockwave and EMTT are the closest thing Iโ€™ve found to almost-instant relief. A new injury usually needs a series of sessions. A tune-up might only need one or two. And there are so many ways we can use them to help you move and feel better.

Curious whether shockwave or EMTT could help you? DM us SHOCKWAVE and weโ€™ll start the conversation. ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Hip pain doesnโ€™t always start in the hip.

Sometimes, the pain you feel around your hip is actually being influenced by your lower back, and thatโ€™s why treating the painful spot alone may not give you the answer youโ€™re looking for.

Thereโ€™s a simple test you can safely try at home that takes about 5 minutes. The important part isnโ€™t just performing the test, itโ€™s knowing ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ž๐š๐ง.

In this video, weโ€™ll walk you through:
โ€ข How to set up the test
โ€ข How to perform it correctly
โ€ข What to pay attention to during the movement
โ€ข How to interpret your results

Because finding the source of your pain starts with asking the right question.

If your hip pain keeps coming back or hasnโ€™t made sense, save this test so you can go through it carefully when you have a few minutes.

If your hip feels tight, stiff, restricted, or painful, itโ€™s easy to assume the hip itself is the problem. But sometimes, the spine can play a role in where and how you feel that pain. And if youโ€™re only testing or treating the hip, you may be missing an important piece of the puzzle.

Thatโ€™s why this weekโ€™s video series is focused on one simple question: ๐ˆ๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐š๐ข๐ง ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ, ๐จ๐ซ ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ž ๐›๐ž ๐ข๐ง๐ฏ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ž๐?

I've been to physical therapy before, but this was different." ๐Ÿ’ฌ

That's what we hear a lot โ€” and it usually comes down to one thing: we don't start with exercises, we start with a diagnosis.

Most PT visits move fast. Ours don't. Before we ever hand you a resistance band, we spend real time critically thinking through your case โ€” figuring out the source of your pain, not just treating the site where it hurts. That's the difference a Diplomate-level MDT evaluation makes.

No cookie-cutter protocols. No random exercises hoping something sticks. Just a thorough evaluation, a clear plan, and care built around your actual case.

That's what "mobility before stability" looks like in practice. ๐Ÿฆด

Sometimes, doing more of the same isnโ€™t what your hip needs.

If restricted fibrotic tissue is contributing to your pain and limited mobility, repeatedly stretching, massaging, or resting the area may not address the underlying tissue changes.

Thatโ€™s where a different approach can matter.

At mPower, when this type of restricted tissue is identified, radial and focused shockwave therapy combined with EMTT may be used to target the affected tissue and support changes in its quality and mobility.

The goal isnโ€™t simply to make the area feel looser for a few hours.

Itโ€™s to address the tissue that may be contributing to why the problem keeps coming back.
