So everything was going well and I decided to push my body a little harder on Monday, where I did the Airforce Wod for the first time. I figured I would scale the weight and see how it went. Turns out that was a bad idea. I didn't feel anything during, but afterwards my hip area was SORE! This worried me in that I thought maybe I do have a hernia. Things were suddenly worse, I couldn't do movements that I could do last week without pain.
I have been doing pilates three times a week, and while that's helped me work on my abs I am also finding out how weak all of my stabilizers are. In physical therapy I'm finding a pretty big asymmetry in strength, my right side being my weaker side. Perhaps this asymmetry is what is causing my hip pain. Regardless, pilates seems to be exactly what I need to work on to fix this.
Thankfully I was able to see my massage therapist again, and it seems my psoas was rock hard, again. Bobby spent about 45 min just working that one muscle and the pain I felt from the pressure felt a lot like the pain I experienced when trying to keep a hollow body or hold a plank position. So I don't think I have a hernia, but I do think I've done something to my psoas, maybe a strain? I don't know. All I know is that I feel better after the massage, but I'm still in quite a bit of pain. I am going to try to do a lot of self-massage and see how that works.
...Again apologies for not having a lot of posts lately, but I should have some good links posted tomorrow.
