Hi,
Thanks for all your replies...a little update.
Been a couple of times to the 2nd physio.
She prescribed 5 excercises to me...
1. Sittin on chair, straighten knee as far as possible (probably only about 60 degrees at mo) and bring toe towards me and away.
2. Back stretch from chair as above
3. Lying on back with arms in T position, knees bent, roll both legs side to side,
4. Lie on back, left leg at 90 degrees, rotate hip across body by pulling on toe with belt to stretch muscle in me bum (pirifiros?)
5. A back arch stretch from press up position
The 4th excercise gives me a lot of releif and I think by doing this overall I have had some reilief but in general it is still pretty painful.
On my 2nd visit last monday she used some ultrasound on my back and also some massage. She also was doing something down the bottom of my spine which involved a lot of pushing and pain but really seemed to loosen it up.
Her diagnosis is "stiff" lower back joints and possibly anothe impingement in my piriforsi/bum msucle.
What does everyone think?
