I've had a bit of pain of late. It started with tightness in the hamstrings. Over time this grew into hip pain and then pain across the lower back. Generally this pain whether all or just one area occurred after sitting or when getting out of bed in the morning and trying to stand.
First thought was that it was piriformis issues. I spoke with a local trainer who believed that also. Later when visiting the Physical Therapist I see for a heel injury I spoke to him about it. I had spoke to him earlier when it was just hamstring and hip pain. He checked my hinge and back squat and stated, "your pelvis doesn't move dude". He then investigated and found extreme tightness around my tail bone. He gave me a couple stretches to do. I see him again next Tues.
Anyone else have this problem? What did you do to correct it? How long did it take to see improvement? Thanks in advance.
