Today's blog visits the issue of treating my hip pain. I was having SI problems before it was cool. What I did today for my hip pain:
- 4 sets of press-ups and 4 sets of standing back extensions as instructed by Providence Phys. Therapist
- went through some exercises, stretches, and foam rolling as suggested by irehab:
- active hamstring stretch
- hip rotator stretch
- upper trunk rotation (rotating trunk to right was intense)
- prone low back stretch (child's pose)
- prone on elbows
- pressups
- cat camel
- kneeling psoas stretch (when left knee was done glute recruitment was almost nonexistent)
- TA activation (lying on back and sucking in belly button, I tried to squeeze a ball between my knees to little avail)
- Prone plank (worked up a sweat yay!!)
- tried supine hip extension, but this was painful so I cut them short
- foam rolled
- quads,
- hips
- glutes
- midback
- I iced then went to Dr. A for a treatment (he said I adjusted easily, there was a little pain in adjusting the left SI)
- Iced again
- I have taken 2 doses of 800 mg of ibuprofen and plan on taking one more at dinner
- I have made a massage appointment for wednesday at 230 at full spectrum
Previously I have gotten 2 rounds of accupuncture last week,
I saw Dr. A 4 times, took a couple of weeks off and then saw him once before today ( on thursday last week)
I have had 1 massage
I went to providence rehab and was advised to do the press ups and standing back extension stretches
This only includes treatment for the the re-occurrence of this injury
The previous injury response was addressed in this google doc
