    Thanks again Kaitlin!

    The gait is the issue i struggle with most. Days when my back/hip hurt, Under load (walking) my hip extension and hip IR going to hell. I just can’t pivot thru and drop my hip back. This causes my pelvis to tuck on that side and twisting me out of alignment. Maybe this is all from the FAI on that hip, who knows!
    I’m lucky to have a mwod practitioner in town and hope to get an appointment with him the in next month before I reconsider surgery.

    ppt = posterior pelvic tilt

    Pain? Yes. SI / Lower back pain on one side. I also get a fair amount of discomfort and clicking inside my hip. I’ve read all about the typical crossed / APT / “desk bound” syndromes online but I’m not sure that applies to me. I’m more of a PPT and rounded shoulders guy!


    I’ve been to 3 different PTs who have offered only periods of relief. My local academic medical center says a “candidate” for a hip arthroscopy based on my images (MRI) and failures at PT, but I’m unconvinced – I feel that i have achieved periods in which my mechanics are improved, I just can’t maintain them.


    Generally, my bad hip does seem to internal rotate during my gate. I can mobilize-active my glutes and stretch my hip flexor all day, but this issue remains. This brings be back to my original post – could this be an issue with my psoas / deep hip flexors? If it’s inhibited, the stability of my hip has to be affected…


    Some other comments:
    – I pass the thomas test, so theoreitically my hip flexors aren’t tight?
    – one leg isn’t shorter than the other
    – my hamstring tendon snaps around my knee during flexion

    I do some variation of these exercise regularly. The issue i face is – just like my core musculature – my glute (med) just turns off.

    PS: You’re the best Kaitlin!

    Thanks everyone!

    At this point, I have the mobility at my hip just not the stability. I still feel like it’s a deep stabilizer issue – it just “turns off” sometime.

    Thanks for getting back to me!

    Tim – i had a hip arthogram at my local, academic medical center. I have a sizable CAM and pincer with some damage to the labrum.
    I’m doing my best to improve my admittedly poor body mechanics and found Kelly’s stuff helpful

    Thanks, I’ll look into these!

    I’ve had some recent success with the high quad stuff and ankle flexion work. My concern is that iv’e stretched/released the heck out of the psoas on the side with the impingement, pulling the hip to the front of the socket when my goal was increase that posterior hip glide and increase my (limited) hip flexion.
    thanks again.
