Feeling pretty hopeful today-
I totally mangled my left meniscus over 10 years ago, and since then have struggled with significant constant pain in my right hip (it especially increased with pregnancy and childbirth, then again worsened with perimenopsuse).
I've finally gotten onto the path of truly fixing the root cause. I thought for a long time it was tight and I needed to stretch it more and strengthen my legs individually, especially my quads, then thought it was lateral instability at my hips, and finally realized, thanks in large part to Squat University, that it was a rotational problem. At the time, no one was talking about rotational inhibition and I had no idea it could be such a significant problem. The human body is fascinating and there's always more to learn.
This was my first time back to doing heavy glute bridges in a long time, the first time that my hip felt comfortable and stable enough for them, and the first time in even longer that even for a short time, my hip didn't hurt.
It IS possible to improve long standing, deeply ingrained, faulty movement patterns to feel, move, and perform better. 🩷 Find someone knowledgable, and stay the course.
