    I'm sure it's nothing like this but it reminded me anyway since I saw this episode last week.

    I understand this completely, and this isn't a big issue for me. However body building is about building the ideal body, and no doubt I'd like to address this. And what Rodja said, I think holds some weight, and I'd like to correct those issues for the future, of my health and body.

    grape, you got measurements? i understand you dont wanna post pics, but it might give a better insight on what we're talking about here. we have a biased view of our own body and tend to exaggerate a few things ("im too small, im too fat"). not saying it's the case with you

    I don't think that A.R.T would hurt, but since you confirmed the neurological aspect I am willing to bet that it is at least partially related to that in someway. Once you switch neurologists, I would address this with him/her. My neurology office actually has a provider that does active release. She worked on my right hip/thigh area and the results were amazing to say the least. I have an injured lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.

    My take is whether or not ART hurts depends on where and how it's being applied. I just got back from a regular ART session that is designed to break up the injury resultant adhesions in my rotator cuffs and all the related shoulder and thoracic muscles. It's bearable, but it is painful enough to get me squirming around and, occasionally, howling - much to the consternation of the chiropractor and the alarm of waiting patients. And I've frequently been told I have a very high level of tolerance for pain. The trade-off is that it's extremely effective; my results too have been nothing short of amazing

    All I keep reading are about amazing results, and in short times. Didn't get around to calling today, but will tomorrow.

    USN, how is this related to neurological issues?

    Sperwer, is this painful when being performed only, or a pain that persist after treatment?

    Body Symmetry Issues

    Only while it's being done. Afterwards i feel great - tempted to go to the gym and try some oly jerks LOL.

    By the evening i may be a little sore, but i rub in some Absorbine horse liniment gel and it's all good.

    My left shoulder used to ache big time all the time. Now it feels normal and i'm close to full rom in only six weeks.

    Body Symmetry Issues

    Fyi; found on the net today:

    Hi Kent,


    In today's newsletter, I have a mobility exercise that we use with a lot of our clients and athletes, particularly those who demonstrate a common and very predictable asymmetry pattern. For some people, this simple drill can be a big "game-changer:"


    --> Mobility Exercise of the Week: Preventing Excessive Asymmetry <--


    This is one exercise demonstration I include in my "Understanding and Managing the Hip Adductors for Health and Performance" presentation in our new resource, Functional Stability Training of the Lower Body. This collaborative effort with Mike Reinold has been a big hit already, and is on sale at a big introductory discount for this week only. You can check it out here.

    All the Best,

    Eric Cressey

    Here's that link:

    Mobility Exercise of the Week: Left-Stance Toe Touch | Eric Cressey | High Performance Training, Personal Training

    Cressey and crew do a lot of interesting stuff, but if there is one thing i've learned, the hard way, it's better to have an expert actually walk you through this stuff - even the stuff that it might be possible to do on your own (which is only really useful if you don't already have issues or have already had serious hands-on work from a pro - and i don't mean xaviera Hollander ( dating myself)

    I'll see if I can get someone to take a pec pic for me as in certain flexed positions you can see the issue best. I just can't hold them and take the picture.

    Here is a picture of me on day 1, and then the second is back in late October. A little high body fat, but you can see the issue slightly. This pic also doesn't show the issues outlined by Rodja, but they are prevelent.

    Pic won't be up for too long.
