Dear Alophysio:

You have been on the offensive from the start by inferring negative in your first post.

I have tolerated this by giving you the benefit of the doubt.

However, you have shown that you have not listened to things which I have said.

I put forth the comparison of the Wikipedia reference-linkSIJ test (Gillett or swing phase) to the SIJ with hip ABD from the start. You either suffer from dementia or chose to ignore what has been said. You stated that this was a new test later in the discussion. That I had changed my logic to your credit. I had put it forth from the start. Read the first post on the thread.

You started by inferring things and continue to do so.

I have read Diane Lee and communicated with her. I have talked to Andry Vleeming on the phone. I have talked to Ola Grimsby and Jim Revard on the phone also. I have talked to several professors at several universities.

One professor reminds me of you. I had a patient come down to show the assessment and techniques. The professor delayed until the patient had to leave. A group of students were in the room and followed as I did the assessment and therapy. One student approached me after to ask if I would consider doing her as in the three years of training, she had not gotten any relief. I did the assessment and therapy. She had considerable relief. During this the professor arrived. I showed the assessment on the student and the therapy. There was more improvement. The only comment by the professor was: "How long will it last?" So I had the student do several activites such as squats, bends, sit down and get up, etc., etc. The therapy held through all of the activities. The professor simply said: "Yes, but how long will it last?" The standard therapy had done nothing for the condition, but all the professor could think of as an excuse was: "how long will it last?"

You stated that you gave it an honest try. How come then you did not even try it until I insisted several times and only after many, many, many weeks? Is this evidence of a great open mind? Further, you dismissed it without any thinking of the differences of results may be in the ergonomics of driving on the left vs driving on the right. It was an open and shut case to you. That is great openess of mind! There could be other ergonomic factors. Truly "considering something" is different.

You qoute everyone of note - why? Do you not think others can read. I have read many things. When I bring up the fact that there are many gapping holes in the theory that further research is admittedly needed you dismiss it as cherry picking? Who is cherry picking? The one who qoutes others as verbatim truth or the one who sees the flaws in the theory?

Why do you not start your own thread on " The joy of SIJ testing" Or "All you ever wanted to know about SIJ testing but were afraid to ask" Or "The SIJ testing expert is in"

I would appreciate you leaving this discussion. Not because I feel intimidated by your inferences and inuendos, but because I am simply tired of you not truly considering what has been stated and put forth. You can put forth all of the "peer review" you wish as if you are the most informed person on the planet earth. You can quote Biblical passages as if you have God's backing. You have said that "you can attract more bees with honey than gaul". Yet, you dispense gaul freely along with inferences and inuendos. I suggest "Practice what you preach."

You have stated that you would charge me $280.00 dollars per hour. I would charge $2500.00 per hour plus penalties for every close minded remark.

Further, if I was in a class of yours, I would transfer to another university.

Think about it.
