I went to Dr. Jon Grant at St. Vincent Sports Performance last Friday in Indy. The man is AMAZING! He works on the Indiana Elite guys, and also pretty closely with some of the IndyCar drivers and Pacers players. While I was there, the U.S. womens synchronized swimming Olympic team was there, too, just hanging out.
During my 2-hour session, he offered some insight and solutions, along with some drills to do twice daily. Then, he told me I probably wouldn't need to come in to see him again. Totally worth my hundred bucks. Finally! A doctor who tackles the root cause and doesn't want you to come back!
Ben visited him a few weeks before. Coincidentally, we have the exact same issues which are causing us injury when running. We each walked into the place with our injury resumes (yes, we made 'em)... mine detailed the last few years of pain I've had with my lower left leg, left hip, and left and right cuboid (foot).
Outcome:

Outcome:
- My legs are the same length, despite the CT scan results. I walked in with my left leg about 5-7 mm longer than the right.
- My pelvis is in torsion, making the left leg longer, and causing it to place all the stress on the left hip/hamstring/calf/foot/everything else in between.
- The foot issue is probably related to my hip and the lower leg tendinitis -- something I'd never even considered!
- A few adjustments and exercises later, my legs were the same length.
- To prevent torquing my pelvis, I can't cross my legs in any way (not even shins!) for at least 2 weeks.
- I don't use my glutes when I run - just hamstrings. This could be causing fatigue to the hamstrings, hence the pain.
He gave me some drills to do, especially one that trains my brain to "fire the glutes!" when I'm running.
So, in honor of the all-important glutes, I present to you the lyrics to the closing song at the Blue Man Group show last week (courtesy of Rick, who listened closely and wrote all out!). Honestly, I don't even know the song title. It's just about butts. And if you haven't figured it out already, the title of this post is another one of those ways to refer to your butt. I challenge YOU to come up with one that's not already on here!
