Monday Chiro

I saw Glenn again yesterday and it was more of a physio appointment than a chiro visit. No adjustments, just work to muscles and fascia. He is really happy with my progress. I told him I felt about 70% on my ride on Saturday. Normally, he expects people to get to 70% after about 6 treamtents and we only had two.

He did more active release work through the whole lateral thigh. Previously, he focussed on the area around the iliac crest and the area around the knee. On this visit, he expanded to include the area under the greater trochanter of the femur - an area that has been tender for a while. He also used a curved, rounded steel tool. He moved the tool up and down my lateral thigh over the fascia. It is supposed to break up adhesions in the fascia. It felt weird but not painful.

When I got home yesterday, I noticed that the area around my knee was bruised from the treatment. Otherwise, I feel pretty good.
