“My current plan is, stop Crossfit, 10 session Rolfing series and Pilates
Personal instruction.  Both practitioners are seeing the same thing,
which is a first.  Twisting and rotation, tight sides and weak sides.  I
can keep you updated on progress, but I think I found a good combo.”

Erik, I’d be very interested to hear about your progress with this. I’ve often thought about the fact that CrossFit doesn’t have much, if any, side-to-side movements. Since a lot of stabilizer muscles would also be involved in side-to-side movements I can see where an imbalance could be caused. What sorts of things/movements are you doing to deal with having tight sides? And, what to strengthen them?
