Hip Pain in Midlife? Restore Flow Through the Liver and Hips Qi Gong, Acupressure and Food Medicine for Stiffness and Menopause

Hip pain is not always just about the joint. Sometimes it is the body quietly asking for movement, circulation, and support from the inside out.

In this energy update, Jo responds to a listener navigating ongoing hip pain, menopause changes, and the frustration of stiffness that does not seem to shift. Drawing on both modern understanding and Chinese Medicine, she explains how hormonal changes, fascia, and the Liver system all play a role in how freely the body moves.

You will learn:

• Why hip pain during menopause is often linked to Liver function and circulation

• How hormonal changes affect tendons, fascia, and joint health

• Why fascia only releases when the nervous system feels safe

• How to use Liver 3 acupressure to restore flow through the hips and legs

• How Spleen 6 supports circulation in the pelvis and lower body

• Why rhubarb and sour foods gently stimulate Liver energy

• A simple Qi Gong movement to open the kua and release hip tension

• When to seek support from your GP or physiotherapist

This episode is especially supportive for women over 45 experiencing stiffness, hip pain, or reduced mobility. These practices are gentle, nourishing, and designed to bring the body back into ease and flow.

Your hips are not failing you. They are responding to how energy is moving through your body. When that flow returns, movement begins to feel lighter again.
