You should check out Martha Peterson's Somatics site. She has a lot of good gentle exercises. I still use these a lot. One that might help is the side bend shown here, but there are others if you search around: http://essentialsomatics.wordpress.com/2011/02/06/what-to-do-about-hip-pain/ Jim Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350710709762823429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577216999808543384.post-849579096313508432013-12-05T12:41:02.064-05:002013-12-05T12:41:02.064-05:00Hi Jim,

He's pretty versatile for a big time weightlifter. He is a big fan of somatics. He is also a big fan of farmer's walks and other forms of loaded carries to develop QL strength.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5yZJoHC01I<br /><br />http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/the_secret_of_loaded_carries<br /><br />What I like about Farmer's walks is how basic yet effective it is. You can totally see how it is a movement that humans have been doing forever.<br /><br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577216999808543384.post-67638569764289025312010-09-02T23:34:12.543-04:002010-09-02T23:34:12.543-04:00Thanks Josh,

A FMS is definitely something I'd like to try, if I could find the right person and can afford it. I went back to the QL post and recalled the KUA exercise. My hip has been pretty bad this week, but the exercise felt good when I did it again. I have to explore this type of movement more. I like that phrase "central equilibrium of the body" and will have to read that article carefully.<br />JimJim Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350710709762823429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577216999808543384.post-45189805520160911562010-09-02T23:09:27.325-04:002010-09-02T23:09:27.325-04:00Hi -

I love your site dude, awesome posts and topics..i have learned a lot.<br /><br />I echo the movement screen mentioned above..<br /><br />also; i had run across this; and thought of you; and the types of problems you mention ...<br /><br />see this link <br />http://www.momentummedia.com/articles/tc/tc1308/nbaknee.htm<br /><br />This was the key part for me:<br /><b>Some injuries, however, are so deeply rooted in larger neuro-physio-anatomical problems that traditional rehab protocols only touch the surface. Athletes with these injuries return to their sport but don't recover fully. They require a more in-depth assessment and whole-body rehabilitation.</b><br /><br /><br />it is tough working restoring the central equilibrium of the body once it is lost. Fixing first of all coarse length-tension imbalances, then tuning the body/neural system... things that were literally childs' play.<br />but i also have hope that it can be done; and you will find a way.<br />Good Luck.<br />JoshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577216999808543384.post-624266139017877492010-08-07T10:37:38.380-04:002010-08-07T10:37:38.380-04:00Hi Matt,

Most successful elite runners tilt their trunk forward 13 degrees. You can see an example at http://www.somaxsports.com/osborneN.htm<br /><br />Also, you have accumulated microfibers over the years from running, which then alter your mechanics, leading to the chronic problems you are experiencing. You can read more about microfibers and running at http://www.somaxsports.com/running.htmBob Prichardhttp://www.somaxsports.comnoreply@blogger.com
