After spending the past year trying to figure out the extent of my dysfunction, which has kept me from enjoying anything and everything with an activity level above 1, I’ve returned to this forum in hopes of getting some feedback on what treatments are worth considering. I am at a complete loss as to what direction to go in next. My spirits are devastated, and I badly need hope restored. I will lay out the important info in as easy to read format as possible. Thank you for reading.
Hip and shoulders are your prime movers and when there are issues here it is the first areas to address because it is where you will see the most change.
Spine first then prime movers.
None of theses situations are new so it can take time before seeing change.
You need to be more mindful of the way you are moving. Yes, this is alot, but you need to start being more aware so you can maintain organized positions, then maintain this positioning when moving etc.
You need to retool your mechanics technique for movement patterns.
Have you addressed sleeping position and how you are getting out of bed?
Until you address how you are doing it it will not improve.
Sounds like you need to identify a better professional to see if the ones you have seen have not helped.
Have you talked to anyone you have seen about movements you can/can’t do?
Or had them watch your movements so they can see what you are talking about?
Thanks for the reply Kaitlin.
So bottom line is you gotta start at square one and re tool movement patterns and continue to build your knowledge how things work together and independently.
Yes it is alot, but acknowledge that and move on. Got to work chipping away.
It can be done and things will get resolved.
I can say this from personal experience.
I was in a pretty bad accident a couple years ago and had to rebuild/retool from the most basic level.
You have 2 choices in these situations get caught up in everything you can’t do/what is wrong or you can start addressing things piece by piece. Mobility and drill/skill became my workout. Spending quality time is key.
A couple of shorter more focused sessions have more of an effect than one long session.
Sounds like you need to start with a new plan.
Have you watched the programming videos and or webinars to expand your knowledge about how things work and inter relate?
You may be missing some basic strength in areas such as the abs that is required to have an organized position when moving. You’ve done several different things, but have you repeated any for a few days/multiple sessions per day?
Have you asked around at the facility that you workout at for recommendations on doctors?
Word of mouth can be the best way to find a quality practioner.
I appreciate your words very much, thank you again. I’ve done everything you’ve mentioned including watching the webinar when it was streamed free for a day. For now, I’ll re-tool, as you suggest and move forward.
Yes, it may take some time to retool movement patterns, but building a better base of movement, positioning, and correcting deviations in technique will pay in the long run. :Look at the skill/drill work as your wod.
You have nothing to lose. As things are in better positioning, have better technique movement patterns you may see some things take care of themself.
If you’ve had injury to an area you have less of a tolerance for deviations in technique so you gotta get them dialed. Start chipping away at it. Approach it as a chipper wod.

Supple Dragons, I came across your posting while doing an online search for spinal torsion corrective exercises. I suffer from it, and it too has turned my life upside down. I’ve spent the last 18 years studying my condition until finally cracking the code 3 years ago. Now I am working diligently to fix it, which is just as challenging. But I am much better than before.
There are many things you can do to identify if you have it:
First, I recommend you extend your arms out to your side as if you are trying extend your wings like a bird? Is one side more restricted than the other?
Another one is stand with feet 2-3 feet apart and drop your hip one side so the knee bends. Do it on the other side and compare the gluteus Medius flexibility? Is the flexibility, ROM equal?
The reason I recommend this is when you have spinal torsion you will also have “Trendelemburg gait”, which means a dropped hip, due to muscle imbalances. In other words, everything is connected from feet to head so if one part of your kinetic chain is dysfunctional, so too will another.
I can go on for ever, but this is a good start…
