sezchwarn - I know this is not our thread - but I would be interested in the things that have helped your back/hip/foot.
In particular have you had success from core exercises alone or do you mix with other treatments. I had initial success just doing core exercises put now I think I need to address other issues such as posture, walking style etc. The current list I'm looking at are Alexander technique, Egoscue Method, osteopathy, soft tissue therapy (Dr. Craig Benedict), Esther Gokhale. More ideas welcome.
