Trevor Hoffman goes unconventional with rehab

Aligning the stars seeking balance
Padres' Hoffman, goes unconventional

"Trevor Hoffman, the master of the change-up, threw his body a change-up after his baseball season ended last fall.

The longtime Padres closer switched to a new and thus inherently spooky workout program that he said has restored balance and alignment to his universe.

If an 82-year-old can get out of pain... what are you waiting for?

An 82-year-old client came in today. She's been doing Egoscue for 15 years and had a flare up of sciatica recently. She's come in twice in the past few weeks and after a short period of time is getting back to her normal daily activities and walking. Reminded her that healing is not age-dependent and that her pain is not because of her age. She said, "Keep telling me that!"

Low back pain scenario

Client with low back pain today with radiating nerve pain down the leg. Doing all the right things... working out, eating right, etc. But, right hip not working at all. When doing a hip test on the right hip, she could not feel anything -- no stretch, no work. Past injury to left foot forcing work onto right leg, but no right hip stability equals compression on right side and pain. Equal loading after a few e-cises... on her way to pain free.
