I've been experiencing lower back pain and hip pain for over a year now. I've seen multiple orthopeadists, chiropractors and I've gone through 3 months of physical therapy.
My original symptoms included lower back pain and hip pain that got worse as the work day went on.
My PT sessions typically included some hip strengthening exercises and some light ab work as well as massage and stretching. I noticed improvement during my 3 months of PT but I cannot get back to anywhere near 100%.
Lately the hip pain has subsided but my lower back pain and psoas soreness has gotten worse. After researching on the web I came across a condition known as lower crossed syndrome. My symptoms (tight hip flexors, weak glutes, weak abs, lower back pain) are all common to this illness.
I try to stretch my hip flexor and psoas regurlarly but I find minimal relief. Some websites have recommended myofascial release treatment. Are you familiar with this?
do you have any other suggested treatments?
