My brain is confused

[ClockworkOrange]

Needed to go my chiropractor, just a little tweak here and there on my neck and lower back.

I then mentioned about a very painful/tender area on the side of my thigh.

So, he decides to start pushing and pressing around the top of my pelvis then further down.......AAAAAAAAAARGH!

There is a chunky thick band of muscle that goes from the pelvis down to the knee called the tensor fasciae latae.

Advised to massage it then apply heat to my glutes and an ice pack to my thigh.

This is where my brain does not comprehend what is happening, after a while my leg felt so hot, yet was so cold.

Just felt like sharing this, seeing as I have shared so much recently.

Now I am confused. It is the muscle in the front, but you have to apply heat to your back side?? You will have smokin' hot glutes with that massage and that heat.

My hip flexor always is tight, is it connected to your mocha late muscle?

clock: I think the confusing temperatures were a result of the treatment actually working to shrink the nerve. I guess it's a sign that you had the cold pack on the right spot.

You may also try the British equivalent of BioFreeze which is a methol based gel that you can rub on.

If you take the time to look at the link I provided you'll see that one part is on the anterior plane of the body and the other is on the posterior plane.Heat for the area that needs stretching and cold on the inflamed area.
Your body is a mechanical device, no part works independently of another.

He must have used some type of topical analgesic. On days when my back is really bothering me I'll rub on some bengay type stuff then take a warm bath.
Oh, yeah...

Well thank you Dr Silver. Good to think that I might have actually done the correct thing.

At the moment I am persevering with massaging the areas, although it is extremely painful to do.

No pain, no gain!
