    Re: I need to lose weight, does heat help??

    There is no follow up information when it is a new idea.

    The OGI is testing the idea in clinic and is preparing a research paper.

    The research comes out of 15 years of in clinic by myself

    I am partly retired in that I do only very difficult cases.

    APAS is my own acronim for asymmetric pelvic angle syndrome.

    There is little on pelvic angles except by Wendy Jardin of the Dalhousie University in Halifax (Canuck). However, she missed the importance of differring pelvic angles in that she did not have the people do hip abduction directly lalteral in the coronal plane. She took all readings at the anatomiclal neutral position frrom what I can gather, although I may be in error on this. I was taught to do pelvic angle assessment only at anatomical neutral. however, by accident I started to do the assessment at differring leg width stances and this is when the significance of the differring pelvic angles was seen.

    Another significant detail was seen in that the correction for anterior rotation of the innominate bone did not come from the ipsilateral casue as is so often put forth. Try this: Do a digital pressure into the contralateral adductor longus. The anterior rotation will move to a more neutral position. The popiletus mand planterius lock the knee; therefore, the quads are not needed for standing posture You can take the quads of a standing person and move them lateral and medial. They are not activated in the standing position, because the knee is locked and they are not required to hold. Further, the anterior rotation of the innominate bone or inferior position of the ASIS in the supine p[atient the quads are not holding, but the adductor longus is in a state of guarding response.

    The only way to prove or disprove this is not b reference material, but in clinic trial. Try it and compare your results to mine.

    With a name like Canuck, you must have some ties to Canada.

    Best regards,

    Neuromuscular.

    I will have a read of the various posts you have listed, however, as you can imagine the whole picture is not clear with random discussion posts, thus my query. Canuck indeed, just displaced at the moment

    The problem with any new direction of research is that it is hard to get our mind around it.

    Ola Grimsby was the first of the major instructors to see the value of the research.

    Others are preoccupied with the SI joint and do not consider the bigger picture of innominate bone position as seen with the hip abduction test.

    Hope that you enjoy your testing of the idea for yourself. That is what true research is.

    Re: I need to lose weight, does heat help??

    I am sure there is someone more knowledge on this one then me but...I think it helps process food.... It helps break down fats and move them along.... and for me it helps me eat less because I feel "fuller" with the more water I drink...
