Well Conditioned Muscles in Pain

A Martial Arts teacher with radiating pain down the back of his leg was thinking today that he has a disc problem. Ever since we’ve loosened up his back the left SIJ pain and radiating pain down his leg hurts worse especially sitting on planes traveling which he does for work. His left hip is hiked; the left SIJ pulled anterior (deeper dimple). He tore his right hamstring many years ago delivering a left kick and has walked funny ever since, swinging his right leg around. You can imagine how kicking left while pulling the right hamstring would potentially lock the left SIJ

Working into his dense left SIJ with my thumbs was getting no where, although it was the apex of the pain problem, the tissue would not release. The left QL was inhibiting the right QL and the left lateral hip stability (Glut Min/Med). This external rotation fixation across the SIJ is compensating for the weak Piriformis on the same side below it. Once I tested that coordination sequence one simple release enabled that piece the SIJ let go.

Always astonished to see how many issues are almost identical.
Always amazed at how fast tissue can change once the correct coordination sequencing issue is cued for learning!
Always having to explain to clients that even though the pain is worse the situation is better; that their pain is transitional as things are changing.
