Still got a stuck hip and chronic pain despite physio, massage, stretching and "strengthening your glutes"?

I've completely eliminated chronic hip pain for over 90% of my clients with my innovative methodology.


First it was just a deep ache in your hip after a long walk or a long day on your feet.


Now? You feel it doing almost anything - getting out of the car, rolling over in bed, even just standing still in the kitchen.


Fun, spontaneous moments with your loved ones get replaced with "Sorry, not today."


And let's not get you started on all the nights you couldn't sleep because it was impossible to find a position that didn't leave your hip stiff, achy, or stuck.

You've already cycled through all the usual treatment modalities like physio, chiro and massage

and maybe you got some temporary relief or it felt like it was getting better, but nothing ever really lasted. Sooner or later, the pain would come straight back.


And when that happens, every healthcare practitioner that you've been to has always said "you've just got to stretch it out and strengthen your glutes."

Right. Like you haven't already done all the clamshells, glute bridges and hip stretches under the sun.

Here's what most practitioners get wrong about chronically stuck hips and why the usual treatments don't work:

The pain you feel in your hip very often didn't start in your hip at all. One of the most common culprits I see in my clinic? An old ankle injury, sometimes from years ago, that you'd long forgotten about.


One of your foot's main jobs is to absorb shock every single time it hits the ground, so the rest of your body doesn't have to. But when you sprain or injure your ankle, your body guards it and stiffens those joints up to protect it while it heals, and your ankle stops absorbing shock the way it's meant to.


So guess which part of your body picks up the slack? Your hip. It's the largest ball-and-socket joint you have, with big, powerful muscles around it, which makes it the part of your body best built to soak up that extra load. So your brain recruits it to get you through while your ankle recovers.


The problem is, your hip never lets go of that load, even long after your ankle has fully healed. Because the longer your body moves a certain way, the more your brain starts to believe it's the default way, a bit like a habit that gets harder to break the more you repeat it. And since ankle injuries can take months to heal, by the time yours does, your body has been moving that way for so long that your brain forgets how to properly activate your ankle. So it just keeps using your hip to do work your ankle should be doing. Over time, all that extra load is exactly what shows up as chronic hip pain.


That's why most traditional approaches to chronic hip pain don't lead to lasting relief. They keep treating the hip, where you feel the pain, while the real driver is your ankle but nobody's looking even there.


Real, long-term healing comes from finding that hidden compensation and correcting it at the source, not just hammering away at the one joint that's been overworked this whole time. And the first step to correcting it? Retraining your brain.


And THAT'S what makes my approach so different from anything you've tried before and why it works.

In the last 5 years I’ve completely eliminated chronic hip pain for over 90% of my clients – all of whom had suffered from the problem for a year or more and who had tried everything before they saw me.

Want to be my next success and eliminate chronic hip pain for good, just like Chris?

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Johdi Woodford


I'm a Restorative Movement Specialist who has helped countless clients finally get out of and stay out of decades-long pain for good.


My approach is different from anything you've likely tried before because it works by identifying compensatory movement patterns caused by old injuries or wear and tear and retraining your brain to move your body the way it's designed to move, ultimately targeting the root cause of chronic pain and eliminating it for good.



This works so, so well for chronic hip pain even though nothing else you’ve tried before works because it retraces the root cause of what led to your hip pain in the first place, which may be very far away from where you’re feeling the pain now.


This means that, like Chris, we may need to fix disruptions at your ankles, feet, knees or lower back to finally release. And the beauty of working like that is that you're getting huge relief from neck pain right alongside much-needed repair for the other parts of your body that have also become dysfunctional. That means you're getting out of pain, staying out of pain, and preventing future injuries.

Why the brain? Why is my approach so effective?


It all has to do with how we move!


Every move you make — from getting out of a chair to climbing stairs — starts in your brain, specifically the motor control centre. It sends signals to your muscles, telling them how to move. When things are running smoothly, you move pain-free.


Here's the key thing most people don't realise: almost none of this happens consciously. You don't think "fire this muscle, relax that one" when you stand up or take a step. Your brain handles all of it automatically, firing certain muscles and switching others off, hundreds of times a day, completely in the background. It's a lot like a habit. Once your brain learns a way of moving, it stops asking questions and just runs the same pattern on autopilot.


Image23


That's exactly why compensation becomes such a problem. When life happens —injury, surgery, trauma, stress etc.— your body naturally finds a new way to move to protect itself or work around the problem. But the moment it does, your brain starts learning that new pattern. It begins firing muscles that were never meant to do that job and switching off the ones that were. And because all of this is automatic, it doesn't stop once you've healed. Your brain has already filed the new pattern away as "normal" and keeps running it on autopilot, the same way an old habit is hard to break even when you know better.


Over time, these compensatory patterns become so second nature that your brain essentially forgets how it's supposed to move in the first place. And now it's sending your body the wrong signals every single time you move. The result?


Friction and tension every time you move which eventually shows up physically as: chronic pain.


My approach identifies all the wrong signals your brain is sending your body—the true source of your pain— and retrains your motor control centre to restore proper movement, finally breaking the endless cycle of pain.
