Gluteus medius

[Mikej]

I have been battling a a medius pull ( w/ a TFL strain) for years, has anybody in the body biz ever released one of these? Anybody have any good advice? I've done the rollers, the trigger point balls, the digging the 10x rolfing the ART (once) the stretching etc, but has anybody ever had a real good release? How'd you get it?

Just a pure hunch here, but have you ever had a low back x-ray to check for pinched nerves? I, too, once thought I had a gluteus medius pull, but it turned out to be referred pain from a very old low back injury. The pain later morphed into what felt like hamstring pulls. After almost two years of chiro care, the pain is much relieved, although I still get some from time to time. With this injury, I'll never be 'well', but I'm not about to stop riding until I can't sling a leg over the saddle.
