Well, just come back from the physio and have a plan of attack to sort out my sore hips. First thing the physio did was get me to take my shoes off- and then he looked at how my ankle and arches all lined up. I have functional collapses in my feet, so I tried out a few different orthotics to put in my shoes. So hopefully thats now sorted! Then he went through a bunch of stretches that I have try and do 3 times a day! He joked I may have to revert to part time work to do all the stretching needed :) Then it was time to have a look at my hips- I almost jumped off the bed in pain when he manipulated my iliotibial tract- the tendon that runs down the outside of your thigh to the outside of your knee, from your hip. So he worked on trying to release that, while I tried not to yell in pain. The side that I have had the worst pain in was the side I had to ask him to stop, I was in that much pain. He told me I needed to work on releasing that muscle while in shower by pressing my knuckles into the tract moving my knuckles in an upward direction only.
The good news- he didn't say to stop running!!!!
So fingers crossed I will be in fine form again soon!
