have a 7am chiro apt tomorrow. referred by teammate. they do graston work there. seems my low back is the same as a couple other teammates. need to make sure it’s muscular and not skeletal.

Have you ever tried a myopractor? I am seeing one for my hip and it is making a big difference compared to just seeing the chiro imo.

chiro was awesome. was unaware that the term “jacked up” was a medical term. he said my hips were pretty jacked up. 2 minutes to crack the rest of hour was graston work and him stretching me into a pretzel. graston work was uncomfortable but my hips felt great when everything was finished.

was able to get down to the bar and did a couple at 135in his office…was able to drop down to the bar with no Elvis hip gyrations. i’ll call this a win. I have a handful of stretches to do daily. see him next Friday (1/2hr) to check progress. he thinks will give me go ahead to squat and dl if I make adequate progress.

after yesterdays chiro/graston session had to squat today. hips and ass sore.
filmed todays squats. was about 1-1.5" high. depth will come with better mobility. the good news is that it was entirely pain free.

solid pulilng - and painless squats are a big success.

graston is pretty painful indeed

Nice block pulls and any squatting is good squatting.

Do you think DeFranco’s 11 is more helpful or the chiro?
