Gluteus advice

Hi Laura,

I am almost certain that you have a pelvic dysfunction causing your muscles to overwork just to hold you together - not that there is much of you! 59kg for 6' is VERY light!

You need someone who has experience with motor control and to assess how your movement patterns are affecting your running.

It is difficult to assess something like this without pictures or seeing you run or in person.

Where are you lcoated??

Thank you for your reply! I live in Geneva Switzerland. I know that ever since I stopped running due to achilles things just haven't seemed right. I don't feel as though I run the same way and I have felt like my hips are "off". I just presumed that it was bc I was out of shape.

btw what is a pelvic disfunction? I remember the man who made my orthotics told me that my pelvis was not right and that I had to do exercises to rectify it, but I don't remember him showing me those exercises.

Thanks again for your help!!
