    Hi there. I got your info from the Magic Seaweed site, although this isn't a surfing question really! A couple of weeks ago I noticed a slight pain in my left hip, I hought I'd brusied when surfing during a wipeout when me and the board connected but not in a good way. It seemed fine however today after a running trainig session (I also complete in triathlons) my hip is really sore and feels quite tender to the touch. It hurts when I walk and seems worse if I twist my hip outwards. I did a longer run last week during a race and was fine. However it just came on today after the training session.

    Any help advice would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Stephh,
    No worries...

    I need to know exactly where on your hit it hurts. Be very detailed!

    Hi there. If you take my left side and where my pelvis sticks out to touch then the pain is round to the left from that about 2 inches up from where my legs joins my torso and if I swivel my hips it hurts most when my lep side is extended furthest. It is painful when I walk up stairs as is something is being pulled when I do so.

    Stephh,

    Few ideas here:

    Could be a few muscles... tensor fascia latae, glute medius, sartorius.
    Lets move fwd on this, but first goolge an image of these three muscles and let me know if one of them is in the location of your pain? I am leaning towards the TFL, if it is a muscle problem...

    Get back to me asap...

    If you were my patient...

    Avoid irritating movements for atleast 2 weeks.
    When going up stairs, dno't let your knee GO IN, instead keep it aligned with your shoe, POINTING FWD.

    Deep massage parallel with the muscle fibers, for about 5-10 minutes once a day, followed by stretching. SOME people with do the standing side to the wall TFL stretch, or you can try doing modified hip flexor stretch while standing facing the wall and just tweak it to the TFL.
    HOLD stretches for as many seconds as you are old, do 3-4 sets of medium (non-irritating intensity).

    ICE it after training sessions.

    If no results in 1-2 weeks, I will give you more agressive ideas...

    Let me know how that works out...
