Newbie needs help with stretches

Post by Brett »

Hi,
I am from Australia and had my first episode of CNBP when I was 20. I went down the old road of antibiotics etc for nearly 2 years. Then I got Naturopathic treatment and great treatment from a Chiropractor who did triggerpoint release and was 99% better after 6 months. Anyhow now I am 35 and in the depths of a relapse. WOW, the understanding of this syndrome has changed dramatically in 15 years.

WHAT I NEED HELP WITH is stretch number 8 in the 4th Ed. of HITP.....the quadratus lumborum and hip abductors stretch. Can some one maybe explain it another way? I don't understand "the hips are bent forming a "C". Any help would be greatly appreciated :-D

Thanks
Age: 35 | Onset Age: 20, was 99% better, recently had a relapse. | Symptoms: urinary frequency, weak flow, perineal pain, rectal fullness, | Helped By: Meditation, Stretches, Reflexology, Chinese Massage, Hot baths, Cernilton, Bioflavonoids, OPC's, chondrotin, glucosamine, Roobois tea, | Worsened By: stress, constipation, worry, alcohol, coffee, tea, sitting, late nights - not enough sleep,

First of all mate welcome to the forum. I must say that to go 15 years without a significent relapse is good progress in my mind. Also to get myofascial trigger point treatment so long ago for this condition is a nice surprise to hear. Especially down under & not in the US of A!

There are a few stretches I dont do in the AHIP simply because at the moment I dont feel like I need to as I concentrate on other muscle groups. I'm not sure about your specific question. I do find that a google search on the internet always helps me for this kind of condition though.

Age: 29 | Onset Age: 26 | Symptoms: initially severe burning throughout pelvis - much better; muscles spasms all over region, back pain, chronic IBS (much better) | Helped By: Psychotherapy, SP stretches, swimming, accepting the condition (understanding there is treatment); stress/anxiety management; possibly basic quercetin; valerian root, vit B & calc & magn supplements; gluten avoidance & especially dealing with chronic constipation. | Worsened By: stress / anxiety, too much sex; repressed emotions; personality goodist traits. 80% better
