Hip pain?

As long as I had a good hard chair pad so the casters won't catch in the carpet, it wasn't a problem for me to turn 60-ish degrees from facing my computer to facing my client. But with a cranky low back/hip, it might be more problematic. At very least you'd need to be conscientious about alternating which foot you use to push off. It is worth spending a bit of extra money just so you don't get a rickety one that you're constantly having to tighten the bolts, and it's been a while since I looked at them, so no idea what they might cost these days.

Soaking up knowledge I know for me, with squats and anytype of side to side lunge I have to remember to focus on using my glutes, and hinging from the hip first. I tend to want to overload my quad and that causes my knee to cave in. My mantra is "stick your butt out first" and it seems to help. I can't step to the side at all when I am in any sort of squat, admire those who can.

Sadly it's returned, but at a much lower intensity. So much lower that I can tell there is also groin pain at the same time. The Mayo Clinic website says that pain on the outside of the hip is usually muscular in nature while problems with the actual hip tends to present with inner thigh/groin pain. Interesting information. My coach is going to test a few things tonight to see if we can narrow things down a bit. It is encouraging that the pain intensity is several degrees lower, so I must be doing something right! Still hoping hip and knee issues are connected. Meanwhile I am saving in case I wind up having to get some kind of imagery done...

My athletic training professor in college always stressed that we look "above" and "below" the injury, quite often the problem is another area of the body. And if it isn't, it's certainly connected. Of course, that was a thousand years ago, but still a very valid point.
