Hi,

I am very serious about my sport, Let me tell you about the history of my injury to put you in the picture a little.

3 Years ago, i used to do karate, during training I felt a very serious strain when doing punch that requires a twisting of the torso, the pain i felt is here:



I had to stop training, and went straight to hospital, they said its a bad bad strain after Xraying lots to check there was no breaks or fractures, they sent me home with a box of ibroprofen.

I did no rehab, and rested for 3 months. I went back to karate, 2 months later same thing, same strain, i rested for 3 months and went back again to karate.

6 Months down the line, same strain, maybe a little worse, required 3 months of rest, I stopped karate at this point.

I then started my sport, and only during the strength traiing pullups chinups did i feel a pain in my back. I would rest for 2-3 days and continute, i just accepted something wasnt right and that was that.

I eventually saw a physio, this was about 18 months ago, he didnt seem to interested and said i had a weak back on my left side and i needed to sort my posture out. He gave me some strengthening exercises.

I wasnt making to much progress and i just gave up with the physio after 2 months it felt like he wasnt listening.

Went back to my sport, just ignoring the pains resting for a few days/

6 months ago, i saw a physio about my hamstring, he sorted me out with a nice program, and i mentioned my rib/back injury. He found a nice lump which i can clearly feel, he told me to work with it on a daily basis and said i need to strengthen my back. I couldnt afford to keep seeing him, a shame cause he was a good physio.

At this point, my left hip started hurting, worse and worse, my hamstring was better, and i realised i had to sort this scar tissue out, and get a strong back!

SO i saw an NHS physio, she assesed me 3 weeks ago, found the scar tissue, said my back was weak and sent me for a course of physio.

Which brings me to today!

I have hip pain and back pain after light swimming, running, and leg strengthening, and proglonded sitting.

Heres where i get the pain:



On a daily basis im really going at the scar tissue, after 2 months i feel there is a little less, its got less of a grip. But i do need some help with that.

Sorry that was a long history.

Currently, i am waiting for an NHS physio and am really strengthening my abs, leaving my back well alone.

Any advice, strengthening, stretching, scar tissue tips, thoughts, anything, is very appreciated cause i dont see this NHS phyiso coming through for months....

Thankyou very much in advice.
