I thought it's my spine at first but I'm pretty sure it's actually these mothers. Apparently they can get misaligned and start hurting when you shift your weight at certain angles.Snagging sort of pain to the side.Do I need to go to a physical therapist or can I something about it at home?Anyone have experience with this?
>>77244943Yes, I have the exact same thing as a result of my body compensating for years after a knee injury on one side.Physical therapy isn't really worth the money. There are lots of exercises & stretches you can do at home like this:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cUBJw7ppjaQ
>>77244943I had that because of bad walking form Instead of lifting the knee higher and bringing it forward I would swing around the leg a little on each step. Working on that relived the issue, maybe you do a similar thing
>>77244969I've been doing the stretches and popping it back in place. It helps but the stiffness and pain returns after a while because I'm not addressing the root cause.How did you pinpoint that it was your gait and not something else?
>>77244943Maybe it's psoas not SI joint - what exactly would be "popping" ? Feels like any other stiff muscle tugging on tendons where/when it shouldn't, gait, yeah i fixed that for the most part with few dozens of hours of training proper gait, i had this lil hop in it when i was rushing, it is fine now, completely fluent, head as if it was on gyroscope xD pelvis forward thoracic opened, tucked chin, very uprightDid some manuał labor today with lotta bending and even some actual lifting and nothing bothered me, was exceptionally strong as well, 50 kilo sacks just few But yeah it's still popping.2 things: my unilateral work needs to change - either different plane of motion or change to bilateral version, like underhand uppercut for delt, it works delt but it needs to go, will try on all 4 and if it doesn't pan out it's gonna be sth bilateralAnd my gluteus max and calves and abs are WORKED, with one motion, now i definitely feel upper ABS and more of em keep appearing, it's on the RIBCAGE where u feel abs, so u need to pull with feet lying on back and feel ribcage being tuged upon with bent knees, abs are burning quick, still folded blanket under thoracic and arms overhead, for some reason cervical spine must be also extended- head back, it's sorta cartoonish motion, as if u're being dragged by somethong, very peculiar distinctly different from any crunch so no suitcase cary type motions which cramp out psoas and hit abs ( glute max and gastroc) also without cramping out psoas ( what i am certain i was doing with many crunch variants i tried) and dedicated weekly walking perfecting session is the plan noe xD cheers xD

YouTube "squat university". He has great videos on these topics. He's a pt
>>77244943You can reset your Hip/SI joints by squeezing a foam roller for 10-20 seconds.If you hear a Pop or a loud click, you got something wrong somewhere.90% of Si issues are from poor posture.9% from being overweight 1% being degenerative issues like myself.
>>77245542Yeah, I've done this one and other movements like this. I do hear popping sounds and I feel numbness in my groin area (probably from the misaligned pelvis pressing on nerves).I've done more research and I think it's most likely a muscle imbalance (tight hip flexors and lower back) pulling my pelvis out of alignment.I need to strengthen my posterior chain (glutes, hamstrings) and lower abs.
>>77246382Stretch strap and hamstring stretches worked for me.
>>77244988>How did you pinpoint that it was your gait and not something else?It was just an assumption initially as the discomfort would only happen after walking for 2-3 hours and I noticed my form getting even sloppier than usual. I tested it in subsequent walks and haven't had the issue.I have also been working on correcting anterior pelvic tilt through stretching and being mindful of posture, maybe it also helped.
>>77244943I get this only when I unrack and rerackthe barbell for back squats, I was twisting my torso and not even realizing it. You're probably doing something wrong on some exercise that aggravates it, ask AI to help you unironically.
>>77245542>blue speck rollerNever gonna make it.Should have gotten an orange or red
>>77244943You have shit core strength. You probably relax your core when squating and deadlifting. You need to do direct core work.
>>77246382If you feel numbness in your groin you may have a herniated disc. You want to get an MRI done on your lower back before it gets worse.
