I've taken the liberty to do my own physical therapy since I know my body better than anyone. I've been stretching every muscle I can everyday by watching DVDs I rented from the library for people over 50. I also watch a variety of videos on YouTube. One thing i recently learned by watching two chiropractors video is to do compressions on the trigger points aka as knots aka as adhesions on the painful gluteal or hip flexor muscles. Using a small ball..tennis ball or hard foam for example. I lie down and place the ball under my glut and apply pressure.. at first it hurt a lot.im doing it at least once a day. Not sure if helping due to the fact ive been doing strength exersizes as well, pilates ...im.going to my first chiropractor visit today to discuss all this. I'll be back

@lesaboo Glad to hear you are proactive we our are own advocate,s we know our bodiy better I have used a chiropractor all my life as the brain and backbone spinal cord nerves come from these two areas. I also use a TENS unit the chiro. showed me how to use it . This relaxes the muscles. then you can exercise better its harder to do with tight muscles. This has been my experience .Good luck
