@FlatsFarmer has been posting a lot of stuff in his log lately about pelvic alignment as well as scapular alignment. A lot of problems can arise when things aren’t aligned properly. A tight QL might actually be a result of a problem somewhere else.
I’m currently a mess. I have constant hip pain and the muscles around it are tight. I’m not sure what my problem is but I’m hoping my chiropractor can assess my entire body and help me figure out where the problem starts. Sometimes the painful spot isn’t the source of the problem; it’s merely a symptom.
I recommend finding someone who can assess your body as a whole. Is your spine and pelvis aligned properly? What other muscles are tight?
