I’m beginning to be able to self diagnose when my pelvis is out of whack. The physiotherapist showed me an exercise where you push one leg and pull the other one, while lying down, to try and straighten it out. I can tell when my pelvis is not straight because my left hamstring starts to hurt again and that leg is longer than the other one.
When I lie on my back those knobby bones on the inside of each ankle are not even. The left one is half and inch below the right one. It's a significant difference. No wonder I'm having problems.
Who knew that the best way to tighten stomach muscles is to scrunch them up, suck in your stomach, like when you want to zip up those tight jeans. Appartently doing this is more effective than stitups. The physio said having tight stomach muscles whould help my pelvis stay in place. So at random times, I pull my stomach in towards my spine and hold it, reminding myself to breath. I never thought running would be so complicated.
