I love soft tissue work but if I don't see some immediate or at least some change within a session or 2, it's not getting to the core. Excellent, Dianne!

I've been treated with deep massage for the past four months and there's been some improvement but not enough. It is discouraging and expensive. Yes, I have been doing lunges and saw your video on You-Tube. BTW you were right about the pain in my knee coming from quads. I've been stretching out the quads keeping my pelvis tilted forward and it seems to be working. My psoas is fine but I have sore hips due to a tight iliacus on both sides.

First one 5.5 years ago, ASR resurface. Joint recalled. Failed. Explanted and replaced with a dual mobility THR 7 months ago. Recent severe left hip and knee pain. Both sides thigh lays flat over edge of table. Right lower leg not bad, but certainly not vertical. Left lower leg extends about 45 degrees. Left knee is bone on bone. First test was fine. No problems there. Thanks so much for this wonderful looking work. Can't wait to get started correcting imbalances. I’ve had two hip surgeries on my right side.

I I'll have to think about where I could do this but I wouldn't mind doing the exercises regardless.

My leg comes close to the table but not quite. With the leg as low as possible the knee will not bend 90 degrees. I did better on this than on the first test but still no cigar.

But I did pass this second test which I am happy to report. Actually, I was able to go to the gym for my resistance training yesterday and feel a lot better today. I did a full session of stretches prior, though, and am planning to always do that from now on. Thanks for your help!
