Billye, that sounds like Bliss. I had my 2nd session of a new physical therapy today. This was ordered by my colon guy (nice to have a guy for each organ, huh?). It's from a group that does only pelvic PT with women. Most of the women have some sort of pelvic pain. Or stress incontnence.

But this therapist is great. She said she thought my butt pain, what remained of it, was from my SI joing and restrictions around it, and in two sessions she's helped. Today she had me sitting and pressing against her while she dug her fingers or elbows into the sciatic area of the buttock, or along the spine. I can move more.

The general new thing I've been learning is that it's not good to stretch muscles in spasm, or try to strengthen them. First, they are all saying, get the restrictipons and spasm out with myofascial release, muscle energy work, trigger point acupuncture, or deep muscle massage. Then strengthen. It's helping.

Oxford gives me a general 5 sessions of this.

Whoopy-do.
