Episode 132: You’ve got to fix your abduction

Kelly,

You've mentioned dehydration and lack of electrolytes in the diet as contributing to stiffness and lack of flexibility. Are there any ways that flexibility can be improved by the diet or by supplementation? I stretch and stretch and never seem to see much improvement beyond an hour or so post-stretching.

Thanks and keep up the mobility wod, it's a great resource

Andrew–I have CAM type impingement in my hips (both) that has been confirmed with MRI and by some top docs. It may sound strange but all my hip pain is almost gone…no surgery. You know where the pain was (after two years of dealing with it? In my head.

This may not be you but seriously, after years of thinking I had this issue and a host of doctors telling me I had this impingement combined with pre-arthritic issues, I am almost 100% again.

Read John Sarno's book if interested. I had heard of it for a long time and finally read it. Reading that combined with some good shrink time took care of what is actual physical pain. Worth a try instead of surgery.

J-F Morneau – Glad you liked the cartoon. I prefer the real thing as well. So I second your thought.

Thanks to Kelly for his time and knowledge.
