Many people walk around feeling like their hips are out of alignment. However, changes in hip alignment is a NORMAL part of life. In fact, every step you take your hips will change alignment. Therefore there is no "perfect" hip alignment that is better than the rest.

Instead you pelvis and hips should be very adaptable and be able to achieve a variety of different positions under control. Its only when we lack movement options or have too many that we cannot control does our body default to a movement tendency which can become problematic over an extended period of time.

Many physical therapists and rehab specialists will constantly adjust the hips. Forcing you into weekly adjustments to help "keep you aligned" when in fact its either you need to ACTIVELY through exercise teach your body how to either achieve MORE positions or CONTROL the variety of positions/flexibility you already have.

Recently was asked a couple questions from another student PT that I help mentor on occasion. We discussed PRI methodology strengths and weakness to their approach. Which led to a discussion on the obers test and what I get out of it as compared to what PRI gets from it (PRI terms it the adduction drop test). Finally we wrap up our discussion with talking about how to better critically think and establish a "Needs Analysis" for your patients as far as what qualities they are lacking and making treatment determinations on whether or not to focus on strength, variability, capacity, manual therapy, etc...

Sports Rehab Success Show - Hamstring Pain - Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy {Stop Stretching It!!!}

In this episode we discuss why stretching a proximal hamstring injury can be one of the worst things you can do for treatment. Especially early on in the recovery process!

Compression and the insertion of the hamstring tendon being at the hip is the biggest reason why.

Most of these clients will report a significant amount of pain in sitting due to the location of the pain. The increased discomfort comes from compression to the sensitive tendon attachment it gets while sitting.

So when a tendon is currently sensitive that it limits a significant amount of activities, placing the tendon in a state of compression can lead to increased symptoms or at best no relief from the problem.

It just so happens that greater degree of hip flexion or torso flexion will place the tendon in a compressed position. If you perform an activity that involves both trunk and hip flexion this will create the most compression (this would be the standard standing hamstring stretch).

So instead of stretching, it would make more sense to place the muscle and tendon in positions where it feels semi comfortable to perform some type of resistance based contraction. That contraction can be an isometric, isotonic, or eccentric. All 3 types will have benefits for restoring capacity in the hamstring tendon.

The biggest takeaway is that you want to restore strengthening of the tendon in ranges of motion that are comfortable and gradually work up to a flexed position as the injuries and symptoms allow for it.
