me again,
One thing I didn't mention before is my posture...its very bad. I am called a back hugger, I have a huge arch in my lower back and my tommy sticks out like crazy. I look pregnant (BUT I am not!). Strangers ask me if its going to be a boy or a girl. I can tell it is not fat, so I really wonder if it is muscles, ligaments or caused my the sacrum or something else.
I also can not tighten my stomach muscles, it just won't go in. It is important to mention that during my 2 years of training I had a 6 pack stomach.
My last physio worked on the muscles for that arch in the back, nothing was holding for more than a few hours. He disregarded the belly sticking out and only worked on my diaphragm saying that I needed to relearn to tommy breathe instead of breathing from the chest. I try to make him understand that I was chest breathing because the tommy breathing took so much energy since everything was stuck down there. I had to sit down and really think about it, it wasn't a stress response or anything like that. I was so short of breath from everything being stuck that my body naturally managed to breathe from the chest.
My walk is weird too from my right si joint. I feel my right leg being shorter (no one was able to see if it really was shorter or just felt shorter). My shoes wear differently too, my right heel wears a lot more than the left one. On the elliptical machine in the gym I notice my righ foot rotating inwards. I must concentrate to correct it. I really don't know what that means.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
