I have been to my new PT twice so far, but I am definitely more compliant with my exercises than I have ever been in my life. We (she) have discovered that my glutes have completely stopped working, my hip slides anteriorly, my ribs/ thoracic spine are really tight, all of my "large" hip muscles are working overtime and my smaller, stabilizing hip muscles are not working at all. Even if my ligamentum teres is torn, she thinks that by strengthening the proper muscles and getting the "wron" ones to shut off, I will regain my ROM and restore my pain free status.
One of he things I have been doing alot of is rolling on a tennis ball to release trigger points in my muscles. I am amazed at how tight and painful my quad is. It is by far the most painful muscle to roll out.
I still have pain with sitting but it is nowhere as bad as it used to be. I am definitely seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and am keeping my fingers crossed that this is what I have needed the whole time!

So happy to hear your new PT seems to be working! Are you going to Kiva?

Kima- yes.
Are you seeing Tracey or Patricia? I have been having a very difficult time finding an adept PT for this condition, and am considering going to Kima -- your experience is a big factor in why I would go there!
