Compression Fracture T11, T12, L1 16 months Post

Hi Romy,
Thanks for your reply, sorry it has taken me a while to reply, didn't realise someone had replied to my post.

The snapping occurs as you said, when the hip is moving from full range extension into the onset of hip flexion during the gait cycle.
Would you suggest stretching and manual therapy techniques for releasing iliopsoas and ITB? Plus strengthening of glute max/med?

Thank you
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your response. It appears that either the Gluteus maximus or IT band or both could be tight. You may need to single out the tight structures first and like you pointed out stretching would be a good option. However, I would also be interested to see if there are any biomechanical factors or foot wear factors contributing to the tightness. Also the client needs to be reassured especially if the clicking is painless/asymptomatic.
