Hips in incorrect position
I finally got a diagnosis for my bizzarre leg pain. It turns out that my right hip has shifted up and forward and my left hip is tilted back, putting pull and strain on my lats and quads which is why I've torn both my lat and also had a wrongly diagnosed illiosous(?) (was originally told satorius) tear this year.
My problem now is, after having them reset into the right position, due to them having been in the wrong position for nearly 6 months they have just moved straight back into the wrong position, and are causing me problems again. I will hopefully be going to my physio again soon but I wanted to ask advice on exercises and things I can do so that next time my hips are reset that I can keep them there.... This information would be greatly appreciated as having been out of main training all winter now I desperately need to fix up with the season a month away.
Thank you!
Re: Hips in incorrect position
I have a similar problem but have yet to find a solution! In my case, it has gone on for years, so I have pretty much given up on hoping for a permanent correction - like you, I have had physios correcting it, only for it to slip back (in my case usually within a day!)
I hope you have more success in solving your problem :)
Re: Hips in incorrect position
Okay, I understand the issue with the hips shifting position, which usually affects the quadratus lumborum and iliopsoas. Your lat issue, however, I'm wondering about. Yes, it connects into the lumbar fascial area, however, usual issues with it are up in the posterior shoulder area. Not exclusively though.
So, easy enough to fix the imbalances, if you know exactly what's going on with them. Hard to tell with information given.
Anterior and posterior tilt of the pelvis, iliopsoas. Superior and inferior, quadratus lumborum.
Also sometimes true leg length discrepancy can cause issue with superior, inferior.
More info would help. And I would recommend seeing a physio, as well. There is no need to suffer when it may take a short physio stint and/or a few appropriate exercises to help.
