No Problem.

I could have sworn i replied to the earlier post...

OK..

1. TFL dominating... Don't do standard "Clams" exercises for glut med - usually the position taught is sidelying and hip over hip, shoulder over shoulder. If you are TFL dominant, this will reinforce the pattern. I am glad you have found a stretch but as you have probably found out, it is only a short term solution. It is unlikely it needs to be stretched, more like it needs whatever is making it dominant sorted out. Excessive L/S lordosis, anterior pelvic tilt or tight hip flexors (rectus fem) will do that.

2. Shuddering is likely to be the psoas grabbing and trying to stabilise at the same time. Likely to be overactive as well.

3. The thoracic spine needing manipulation all the time is likely to be the long erector spinae muscles pulling excessively and jamming your joints. This might also cause a flattening of your natural thoracic kyphosis and causing your scapula/e to wing.

4. Have your tried either the stork or ASLR tests with a "core" cue? If not, see how you go. Also, have you tried the compressions for the ASLR?

Overall, you sound like an excessive compression/active extension pattern of pain. If you can find a book by the name of "Grieve's Modern Manual Therapy - 3rd edition", Peter O'Sullivan has an excellent chapter on "clinical instability" that i think you find illuminating. Try to borrow it from a university library where there is a physio school or from a physio who has it.

Can you detail more about what is going on or maybe a photo side on of your posture? Thanks
