Bill -- Thank you so much for your response. I can only imagine how busy of a guy you are, so please know I truly appreciate your time and input. I have followed along on your blog as you had posted some of these ideas regarding hip capsule versus muscular tightness. IT seems for me based on these tests, it is almost entirely muscular. Could my hip flexors be to blame for the lack of internal rotation? Interestingly as I stretch, it seems that when I am stretching my short right adductors, I have great difficulty keeping my right foot straight (e.g. a typical adductor magnus stretch with my right foot up on a chair to my right, and then lean over -- the left side does not have this difficulty).
UConnJulie -- Thank you so much again. Great post! I will make sure that the tissues are warm before I do my multiple sets of stretching at once (did it all yesterday, felt great -- and added in single stretches throughout the day as well as dynamic mobility as well -- rolled as well with foam roller and lacrosse ball).
By the way, what would be done about neural tension or fascial restriction. Would I try something like rolfing for fascial restriction since ART isn't seeming to find much wrong with me other than tightness? And what about neural tension? Just curious. Either way, I will update you in a while.
Best,
K-Dog
