Hi Susan Would agree with James that you might have PS. Get your PT to check out your Sacroiliac Joint as that can refer pain to the groin. Not sure about ...

Hi Susan, For some unknown reason some days are better than others. I believe it is possibly how you position yourself when you sleep and what you did the day ...
Joyce, I am so glad you got a helpful, independent assessment of your situation. It sounds like you have decided to try the PS release surgery rather than the ...
Whether you have a slipped disk, PS, or something else, you are not alone. Millions of people suffer with strange, stubborn & mysterious pain, that doctors ...
Thanks again for the excellent study. I will add it to the "Studies" folder. There is only one thing I don' like about the study. In the last paragraph it...

Welcome Theresa! (or is it Simon?) There are sites all over the web with Piriformis stretches. But I have always hesitated posting any of the stretches or...
Hi Joyce. I'm going to slightly revise my comments about CST. I had my second Primal Reflex Therapy session today during which she used some CST techniques. It...
Hi Mary I’m so pleased you’ve felt some benefit from your session. It sounds very promising. It was my PT who put me on to another therapist. Funnily...
