    Hi Mitch! I’m not familiar with FIA- what is that? Anyway, it sounds like you might be dealing with a femoral nerve entrapment.. you could track down an Active Release Techniques provider, PT, or Chiro to get it evaluated and released.. or as a DIY method, it might help to get in on the psoas, trying to extend the lumbar spine and/or hip while putting some pressure on the psoas- this can be done face down with a lacrosse ball (or softball, if you are thicker in the middle) tucked between you and the floor in the space between your navel and ASIS, aka hip bone.. there are other ways to release a femoral nerve entrapment, but from my experience, none are very DIY-friendly. Hope this helps! ~Jen

    Hi! Thanks for sharing your story and reaching out for help- there is hope! I’m wondering if the PTs or Chiros you’ve seen performed any soft tissue therapy on the labrum or rotator cuff muscles.. the tissues in shoulder joint are notorious for guarding an injury and as a result, weakness, pain, and adhesions develop. Trigger point therapy, Rolfing, & Active Release Techniques are very helpful in getting the joints and muscles back to healthy ranges of motion.. I’d recommend seeking out a provider of one of those soft tissue therapy techniques. I’ve had the privilege of helping a lot of shoulders in my ART practice- there is definitely hope! I hope this helps!
