Hi William,

Yes, still symptom free.
I had symptoms for about 8 years or so. It could be managed with exercise, massage, physical therapy and things could vary between very painful to merely uncomfortable. But the restriction was always there. Exercise definitely helped with symptoms.
Partial elimination of the muscle imbalance made a huge difference and I had no hip symptoms any more. But things still weren’t quite right. I could feel I wasn’t moving properly.
The problem didn’t clear up fully until I completely eliminated the muscle imbalance that was causing all the problems. Once the imbalance was unraveled the difference in how I felt was night and day. Like being 20 again – except better ‘cos I was never very fit at 20!!!

Hi Raisa, I’m sorry I didn’t answer your questions sooner. I just spotted it!
I had a couple of episodes of back pain prior to the hip problems kicking in. The first was several years before – my low back (sacrum area) went into a spasm one day when I bent down to pick up a light bag. That cleared up after a few days. I also remember intermittent back pain that lasted a couple of months – that was perhaps 2 years before the hip problem.

The twisting in my spine and pelvis that was behind the hip problem almost certainly caused the back pain too. In retrospect I know the imbalance was there for years, but it was mostly asymptomatic – until my hip seized up. When I unraveled the twisting all of my symptoms cleared up – hip, back, neck, feet, shoulders etc are all 100% fine. So definitely the twisting in my pelvis caused a lot more than hip pain over the years.
