working on the gluites

[Pompal 09.]

Please don't cirtiek me on my grahmer.
I have a client who gets reffered pain in her left ilium lumbar ligamint when I work on her right gluteius maximus. Any ideas? I'm I on a trigger point or a nerve? The pain is slowly going away in both areas. Which indicates to me a TrP. She does not have the same pain on the oppisite side. Could this also be the QL?

I have personally experienced this problem. It stinks

From what I can tell by the description, it is actually a sacral misalignment problem. Her sacrum is out of place, probably to the left, and so pushing on the right glutes lateral to medial will probably push that sacrum even further to the left, causing discomfort. The bad news is that you can't do anything about that. The good news is that a good chiropractic doctor can. A few visits to a good one should take care of them problem. After she gets adjusted, you may want to avoid deep, detailed work in that area, as her sacral ligaments need time to return to their normal position. Ligaments don't change real fast. Superficial work is OK, but let a good muscle-oriented DC (chiro doc) tell you which muscles/ligaments to target after s/he adjusts the client.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for ur reply. She works for a chiropractic doctor so that will not be a problem.

How do you know if a refering pain needs more work or if the area needs to be discontinued?

Mainly by education and experience.

petedose,

I highly recommend you consider extra training in the areas you are interested in. You can do this via coursework and if you don't have a course available, you can find some excellent videos to get you started. You should also consider finding a mentor who has been in practice for some time, who would be willing to help.

As a side note: you don't have to be perfect at your grammer, but if you will take the time to at least run a spell check over items you feel people will not be comfortable reading, you will also become more confident in your posting patterns. This forum was kind enough to add a place where you can start a comment and hold it until you have had the chance to check over it a time or two, if you so desire. [See the "save" button below your posting box - left most centered button.]

None of us are perfect, but I think we all strive to put our best foot forward. If that means you need to take a little time to re-work your posts before adding them to the forum, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, I encourage it.

We are professionals, holding conversations with other professionals in a manner in which they understand what we are asking or speaking about. Others may be planning to eventually refer a client in your direction and you don't want to come across as "sloppy".
