Well, strength in my eyes includes "balance and harmony". I have been using specific stabilizing exercises (balance training) for hip and back. This includes sling exercises in closed kinetic chain.
What about the sacrotuberous pain; it hasn't decreased as the kinetic controll/balance has been bettered. He can now do 1 leg squats with closed. The osteosyntesis-metall was removed this autumn and now he can do squats and front lunges too. Knee controll has been my primary case in the lunges. Squats about 120 kgs and 60 kgs in lunge.
