I am by no means an expert, but as an old man, I do know pain. LOL
Disclaimer: I am an old man that is paritally senile and does not know what the hell he is doing, so if you follow my advice, you are taking your life into your own hands and I has 0 responsibility for your stupidity. LOL
I would like to let a lot of people know things that they may not know. You have a muscle called the Quadratus Lumborum (QL) that attaches your ribcage to your pelvis and spine. Pain in the lower back, buttocks (commonly referred to as ass), or knees may be due to the QL. Releasing the QL may eliminate this pain, I go to someone who has studied this for my pain relief, but it is extremely expensive (but well worth it). Before I go on, I would like to give my experiences.... I was doing seated leg press and I felt a sudden surge of pain through my back. I could not stand up straight and I was about to strat preparing for a contest. I went to a chiropractor and it felt a little better but I was still in pain and could not stand up straight. I decided to go see a Dr. The Dr. said that they were only going ot give me pain meds but recommended me to a neurokinesiologist. I went and I left the neurokinesiologist walking straight, I returned to work and my boss was in total awe. The problem.... The QL.
I recently had pain in buttock that went to my knee that I was sure surgery would be required. Once again, the QL.
There are many ways to release the QL, but you should also find the cause. In my last case, It started with my foot. As my foot was causing the stress to be put my pelvis, which was affecting the QL. He worked back to my calf, to fix my foot, to fix my QL.
If you have lower back pain, it could very well be your QL. there are numerous methods shown on how to release your QL on line, the only thing is, that you may not be permanently fixing the cause. It may fix itself with the releasing of the QL with time. I do not know how prominent neurokinesiologists are or even if that was the catch title at the time. The only thing that I know is this guy fixed me and I was able to go on and compete.
This QL pain be reduced or eliminated by following the "releasing" of the QLot
I hope that this helps someone and stretching of the hip joints and the QL may eliminate the pain. Stretching of the QL and hip joint should be part of your workout. Yes "ROAD" this was aimed at you. Take a look at the huge BB's and their flexibility. I want to see ROAD doing yoga in his TUTU. LOL
