#Repost @ascoltostudio 🦵🏼🦵🏼Hamstring post no. 3️⃣🦵🏼🦵🏼 (Chi version in comment 👇🏼) Further to a post 2 months ago about HAMSTRING TIGHTNESS (➡️ https://mewe.com/p/ivymokhealththerapy/show/6005b9a2dd0f120de710214d ), I treated a patient last week for her hamstring tightness which could be a good example for this third post: “How your internal organs affects your hamstring?” A female patient, yoga enthusiast, was referred to me for treatment due to abdominal bloating, abdominal pain (medical history: weaning off contraceptive pills for controlling endometriosis). During the 1st treatment, I found the biggest tension on small intestine & stomach. Treatment done, she didn’t experience much change. During the 2nd treatment, I found the biggest tension on left pelvic region. It was the inferior peritoneum which separated her loops of small intestine & uterus (see photos) & left ovary that had tension. She also got several adhesions on loops of small intestine, then left broad ligament (see photos) of uterus, left proper ovarian ligament, adhesion of left ovary, causing her adhesion far back to sacral bone lesion (indeed the pelvic organs are very close to sacral bone, unlike what you might imagine). All the above was treated during 2nd treatment, together with the two ligaments I mentioned in previous post (sacro-spinous & sacro-tuberous ligaments) and the sacral nerves, sciatic nerve. I explained to her all these might be causing her not only her endometriosis and digestive issues, but also, her left hamstring tightness. She looked at me with skeptics but she was open enough to accept “organs might be the culprit”, as she has been in tightness and pain even on level ground walking for over 9️⃣ months, with regular yoga practice, standard physiotherapy, and osteopathic treatment with no success. 1️⃣ week later, she came back, with no episodes of abdominal pain in the past week (she has been on really strict gluten free, wholesome vegetarian diet for 1.5 years) and to her surprise, her hamstring tightness & pain was GONE a day after the treatment. I hope we all can think more about WHAT causes us pain, and don’t just blame our muscles. Stay well! 💪🏼

「深夜新知-膝蓋手術後的惡夢」- ‘’cyclop lesion ‘’after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction  十字韌帶手術後的寄生蟲🪱（自己翻譯的）  十字韌帶修補過後在膝蓋裡面產生的疤痕組織 疤痕增生組織可能出現在膝蓋彎曲軌道上😟  十字韌帶修補過後四個月之後.... ✔️膝蓋無法伸到最直 ✔️膝蓋前側反覆疼痛 ✔️大腿後側和小腿時常緊繃 ✔️股四頭肌怎麼練都無法強壯 ✔️髕骨活動度很低  如果有以上問題一直無法突破 可能就要懷疑是這個增生組織（長得像寄生蟲🪱） 在作怪！！！  令人難過的是.... 他總是在手術後4-6個月越長越大😞 所以問題總是在這個時候出現  只能說十字韌帶手術的復健是辛苦的 就算書籍資料把進程寫得很詳細 實際上沒有任何準則可言 碰過如此多個案例 每個案例都是獨一無二的 會遇到的問題都不盡相同啊 （圖片來自網路） 參考資料 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7457408/  #十字韌帶手術 #十字韌帶斷裂 #十字韌帶復健 #veronicarehab

#Repost @ascoltostudio with @make_repost ・・・ Photo 1️⃣: before treatment Photo 2️⃣: after treatment A patient with Crohn’s disease whom I have been treating for over a year came for treatment (treatment frequency: once every month). There was quite an obvious shorter left leg when it was compared to the right when patient is lying down (supine) as in Photo1️⃣ (i think maybe 8mm shorter?!). After releasing tension on descending colon & sigmoid colon, the left leg is of same length that the right one, or even slightly longer. True leg-length discrepancy due to bone length difference is not common (真正來自骨骼🦴問題的長短腳情況並不常見）, and most of the leg-length discrepancy is due to fascial tension. This is something many therapists who can tackle fascial tension should be able to correct, it is not something difficult. The difficult part goes to - How to help patient to NOT having the discrepancy coming back. By the way, patient’s primary lesion (ie. the biggest tension that the body showed up) that was found was not from cecum/colon, but stomach. In previous treatment sessions, the problem often lied on the ligament between stomach and spleen (脾與胃之間的韌帶） Never give a presumed idea like “a Crohn’s disease patient and the problem should be on colon”. We never know how the body compensates in life for the patient and the end result would be what your listening find. Listening is a way for us to assess the major problem or root cause of a patient.
