I have been a slob for 2-3 weeks, just to try the total rest approach, the pain really was the same when it came to sitting down.

Since the physio back in Jan told me to sort my posture out i have done, when sitting and standing, but i am also carefull to not sit for a great deal of time taking regular standing/walking breaks. Im careful not to stand to straight, not overdo it. I do feel a little bad when i see ive slouched

Chiro said it was an imbalance pattern, imagine looking at me from the back.

Left Glute Overactive, Right Glute Under (Explains why i pull my right ham alot)

Left Lower Back Under, Right Lower Back Over (Explains why i pull my lower back slightly at the drop of a hat)

Right Psoas Over, Left Psoas Under (I guess its near my hip pain)

Another thing that may help with the hip pain diagnosis.

If im sitting, and i bring the left leg up,



Like that, probably not as much as that, but the same motion, the hip pain comes on worse, if i slouch, the hip pain REALLY comes on worse
If i slouch and lift my neck forward and back, it gets really agrivated.

Id think by lifting my leg like that, id be shortening my psoas? But the pains not really where the psoas muscle is....

And i know what you mean about fixing things that arnt the problem, i mean after all this is said and done it would be cool to fix anything outstanding, but for now its good to solve the hip,

Maybe its all linked I dunno, Ive spent the last year reading everything it could be and anything i thought it could be, to see if i could figure it out myself, I have a great interest in health and fitness, I guess it makes sense its an imbalance pattern.
