Clients left hip is stuck and painful on movement – showing compression of the hip joint.
* Using NeuroKinetic Therapy we assessed the joint in compression and decompression to ascertain it was definitely compressed… followed by assessing the muscles that suspend the joint in it's correct position, or might pull the joint into a compressed position.
* We found the Pectineus muscle - an adductor, which originates at the superior ramus of the p***s and inserts on the lesser trochanter - was jamming the femur into the hip joint, and encouraging hip movement to 'stabilize' through joint compression - to compensate for neurologically under active muscles = painful.
* Because we could assess exactly what was happening in the joint, if it was truly compressed and why, we could treat it.. releasing the pectineus, decompressing the hip joint and activating the weak muscles..
* the clients pain was nearly gone and movement far improved 45 minutes later.. The client was happy to be able to drop his leg open, and when he stood up could feel the leg, groin and hip felt strong and supported, rather than painful and weak.
* Homework for a week, and check out the difference when he came in a week after that, so 2 weeks later, and leg is feeling supported and strong and ready for us to move on.. it has not regressed because we found the right pattern, treated it successfully and he did his homework..
First picture shows before treatment, second picture shows the hip after 45 minutes of assessment and treatment, and 3rd picture is him showing he’s been doing his homework, and the hip staying in the improved position 2 weeks later... 4th picture shows the Pectineus adductor that was causing the pectineal pinch and pain.
