Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Hi Guys, I have a question. My friend has a hip flexor injury. The original injury was four years ago. She has strengthened it over the years, but it is a chronic injury which is suseptible to injury. She felt it pop one month ago, and again last weekend. It's numb from the hip flexor, down to her knee for a month since this popped. In the past, she had felt temporary numbness for a couple of day, but it would go away. This is the first time it has been constant. Do you guys know of anything that could help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you > guys know of anything that could help? generic yoga might be a place to start followed by something like Tai Chi I teach a movement program designed to coordinate how the brain uses the body, but I have no idea where you are located. Pilates and Feldenkrais both developed similar things and you might be able to find one of their practioners near you. Hip flexors do not just pop for no reason and therefore even though she was injured, the " trauma " or the way the brain is physically dealing with the muscles is the problem. hope that helps Zip The Dragonmaster Heaven on Earth dragonmasterzip He who rules truly serves and she who serves truly rules.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Dear Molly, Did you have your friend try the "Back in Action" exercises in the files. They work wonders. Many people that I've turned on to these exercises have never had to visit a Chiropractor again. And this is separate from herbal remedies which can also help.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2002 Report Share Posted April 21, 2002 Thanks Doc, I'll check them out and see if she will try them. I was out of town visiting her, and she was in a lot of pain when I left. Thanks! Molly B herbal remedies, " Ian Shillington N.D.
