This is a fantastic video! Thank you for this, I feel like it was made exactly for me. I've been having these exact issues for 3 years now.

@@kimberlycolumbare9655 I’m so glad it was relevant to you. Give that glute med release video a go! (Linked in description) I recorded a quick practice today that includes some inner thigh rolling, which is really important. Look for that on Tuesday. Best wishes!

Thank you. I'm experiencing this now as a result of pelvic torsion and torn L5 disk 4 years ago. It's changed my life and I always have issues.

Thank you! Is there specific strength training that is part of the treatment as well?

Not at the beginning. Activating muscles can activate trigger points. For the first couple of weeks, just do the releases and gentle movement. After that, you can do some side leg lifts. Movement breaks are: wide angle side to side kzbin.info/www/bejne/amXTmIt7jdSImbcsi=x6r3Sb6B6_b8Zp-S. and then gentle leg lifts out to the side after a week or two. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYS0naCYhpZ5rKcsi=NM1ZqKbsb6e2Xyrd
