“Hello Sam,
Hope you are well and don’t mind getting an e-mail from a desperate man in England! I have been suffering from ‘back pain’ for nearly two years now since a thigh strain during a football (soccer) match.
My back is not the source of my pain but it does become a symptom. The source of the pain (in my and my physio’s view) is my pelvic bone which tilts, causing pain in my right glut muscles. This spreads to cause tight hamstrings (both sides), tight groins (both) and then tight back muscles and traditional back pain. I have a physio who uses a technique to quickly realign my pelvis but within a week I am back to square one with a tilted pelvis and more pain.
I have dropped all sporting activity as it just quickens up the pain and stiffness (and it caused other issues like neck ache). I work in an office and have to spend long hours in front of a screen and this time makes things even worse and is very uncomfortable. Its my job though so I cant change and its really getting me down.
I’m sorry I am contacting you via email but I cant visit your clinic. I saw your website this evening and an article you wrote called ‘What Are The Causes Of Anterior Pelvic Tilt?’ and was hoping you could give me some advice/help to sort this out. I am 29 years old and living the life of a 60 year old. I really want to get back into sport but cant at the moment as I cannot get out of this cycle. I have been given core exercises to do but they are not helping. I’m sure I have a really chronic muscle imbalance but I don’t know how to correct it.”
