How the Tensor Fascia Lata (TFL) Causes Hip Pain. 1) Once the TFL has been tight and ischemic for some period of time (it’s different for each individual), it can develop myofascial trigger points. Trigger points can then refer pain to other parts of the hip, the groin, the buttocks and even down the leg. 2) When the TFL becomes chronically ...
Sometimes the pain is centered squarely on the outside of the hip joint near the hip bone. Other times the pain can wrap around to the gluteal muscles. At times an individual might experience pain in more than one area. The reason for this medley of possibilities is that muscular compensation is often at the heart of lower back and hip pain.
Fascia and Back Pain. In the normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration. It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. When we experience physical trauma, scarring, or inflammation, however, the fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted and a source of tension to the rest of the body.
In other words, when we have lower back pain, the body is constantly attempting to figure out how to move without stressing the back further. The frequent result is that the hip muscles - the gluteals, piriformis, deep hip rotators, hip flexors, and tensor fascia lata - can be forced to overwork in an effort to prevent movement in the lower back.
In addition, Stephen has taught advanced technique classes for massage therapists and other health practitioners interested in increasing their clinical skill in treating chronic pain. In 2004 he created Lower Back Pain Answers to fill in the gap in alternative information about the root causes of back pain and other chronic pain.
Hanna Somatics. The pain relief movement therapy called Hanna Somatics is based on the work of Thomas Hanna. Hanna was a student of Moshe Feldenkrais who developed an elaborate system of movements designed to increase body awareness and relieve pain. Hanna took Feldenkrais's work, distilled it into an accessible and digestible format, and the ...
Best Stretching Videosto Relieve Pain & Stiffness. The stretching videos here cover the whole body and utilize my preferred stretching method: Active Isolated Stretching. Because this method doesn't trigger the protective stretch reflex I have found it to be much faster and more effective in actually improving the resting length in muscles.
Hip flexor stretches are essential inrelieving lower back pain. Hip flexor stretches -- stretches that target the psoas and iliacus muscles -- are essential for eliminating lower back pain. Because the psoas attaches along the lumbar spine, tightness in this muscle can cause an excessive lordotic curve which can trigger the lower back muscles ...
Questions about my pain. by Rhonda (Mississippi) I developed on and off groin pain about a year ago. I started hurting in my pelvic area. June 2015, I had a CT scan without dye and it showed a bladder infection, along with abdominal hernia and an old injury ( 20 years ) a compressed L2 vertebra. I took meds, saw a urologist .. But the pain stayed.
Nerve Compression. Nerve compression is when there's pressure put on a nerve by a bone or an intervertebral disc. This occurs when the spine becomes misaligned for some reason (faulty movement patterns, injury, chronic muscular tightness) and one of the discs between the vertebrae get squeezed on one side so that it bulges out the other side ...
