You need to find a good sports chiro or physio that can assess your injuries and perform some myofascial (active) release techniques and get you set up on a good RH program.
A lot of athletes have recurring hamstring problems, how much is due to not getting appropriate myofascial therapy, RH and a balance strenth training program, I don’t know.
Obviously, the ability to recover fully would be based on the severity of the injury. From what you have said, I don’t see why you shouldn’t be able to recover with the appropriate therapy and RH.
I always here that lower back issues are often related to problems with lack of development of the core muscles.
How much of this do you think is really a factor?
Do you find this to be more of a lack of abdominal developement or erector spinae developement? Any particular muscle that is most important in this group?
Peripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate to some degree. It is a slow process. Also, the ability to heal is related to the type of injury as well.
I wouldn’t think that what you did would result in any permanent nerve damage.
I think it more has to do with imbalance in strength/endurance/weakness and tightness/flexibility between various muscle groups. This is combined with significant amounts of sitting and flexion dominant daily activities.
Poor posture and lifting techniques also play a role.
Abnormal muscle recruitment patterns with spinal flexion and lifting are important factors as well.
Hmm, it seems like Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance is out of print, with no used copies available anywhere. Do you have any recommendations for a replacement book, perhaps dumbed down if neccesary?

it was indeed a bitch to find, but I found it on http://gymball.com/manuals.html. They are located all the way up in canadia, so it may take a while for delivery, and the price is in canadia cash, but at least they have it.

hello doc,
is it possible that the left anterior delt ist shaped different then the right one?
I do not talk about the size, they have nearly the same size but the form seems different.
Thanks for answering.[/quote]
I am no doc, but I think I can at least attempt to help.
The human body is asymmetric about all planes. I am sure you have heard that our faces are asymmetric- the rest of the body is the same. bones are different lengths, insertions and origins of muscles are at different points. Usually the differences are “minor” and cause no problems and arent visible. but, sometimes the magnitude is enough to see or cause problems. Again, I am sure you have heard of people with one leg longer than the other.
And that is only structural. there is also functional. muscle strength differences can cause “psuedo” asymmetry.
Concerning your shoulder- you may just have one muscle belly fuller/wider than the other. or perhaps there is enough of a structural or functional asymmetry to become visible.
past that, i am out of my league. Questions Doc Ryan will ask will likely helpetermine the cause and if it is worthy of note.
hope that helps.
ps- sorry if i am invadin your turf, Dr Ryan. I dont wanna get a cap popped in my ass or anything
