Jezzz, this thread brings back memoires.... I love dogs, BUT: I have a scar on my chest, on my arm, and on my hand from 3 different shepards. I've had a Rotweiler go after me and I was saved by...

Yeah, you might want to go and drop some cards off.... By the looks of things, could be good for business.

BTW, with all that blood going on there, I hope they have some concept of universal...

Hello,

Maybe I can be some help. It is obvious you need the real deal, the end all to be all, the whole tamale.... Please allow me to introduce you to Dr. Haha Lung. In light of the recent report...

I'm 52, soon to turn 53. I've been back at steady training now for about 5 years after a long hiatus. My sifu, Tony Brown, is 57. He just came back from Taiwan where he and his Norwegian team...

Hey Chris, thanks for your thoughts.... And also yours, GunnedDownAtrocity (totally cool name).



I'd be curious too. Probably a lot less inflamation, that's for sure. I'm asympotmatic for the...

Thanks for your thoughts, Bao.....
I'm taking all advisement into consideration and that means yours also. I'm psyched about moving again - and moving pain free.

Girlfriends come and go..... I'm...

In August, I had started this thread: http://forum.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38049&highlight=piriformis
Well, it wasn't "just" piriformis problems. Shortly after posting thisnothing...

I've skimmed through most of these posts and see there is a lively discussion on whom to blame. I'm giving a link to a pretty insightful blog I read concerning "the blame". I agree with it; the blame...

Hey Mel,

Your story reads, almost verbatim, like mine. I was in my early 20's and I enjoyed training in Hung Gar immensely. Things happened and things got in the way and I stopped training....

also, with discs and MRI's - at least 10 years ago (Dec 95 Spine, I believe) there were studies showing that the symptomatic population and aymmtomatic po had almost the same incidence of "positive"...

Buddy,

It sounds like you have more involvement than I do. If you've gone to an M.D., I'm sure the frst thing they would have done, or want to do, is clear you for disc problems. I know if I went...

So there is no cure?


Buddy,

Good question. All the info I find on it has been vague so far. As cjurakpt has pointed out, not everyone is comfortable even using the term "piriformis syndrome"...

Well, I knew somebody else must be dealing with this. The part I don't like is the "chronic". This morning was the first in about 3 weeks that I finally felt some relief - not cured mind you - but it...

see, IMHO, the hardest thing about letting go is that we're afraid that we won't be able to get it back together again...for me, everytime I successfully self-manage a little issue, it's showing me...

Thank you all for the valuable and extremely intelligent responses. The PT profession is in need of more practicioners such as Chris. Believe me, there is so much "Shake and Bake" PT in this town.

Thank you for the response, FooFighter.
Structural work would probably be a good way to tackle it... I was a practicing massage therapist before I went to PT school at the ripe old age of 42 and I'm...

How many of you have encountered it, what do you suspect caused it, and what did you have to do in dealing with it?

This is the first time I've encountered it on myself and I think it is the...

PangQuan,

Good advice on getting a first student. Your absolutely right.
More than anything, I need to get Sifu to get some of his students from up North and come down to perform a lion dance...

Free beer could work.... don't know if I have room for all the Harley's at my house though. I don't think nude classes are going to help me one bit at this point; depends on who shows up to them.

Frank,

Thanks for the response and good advice, it was right on target. I've been hitting one of those plateaus in my training and the doubts start to surface and sometimes you need that extra...

This is my first post to the forum and I'm looking for some advice/comments to my training situation. Has anyone here had to learn their art in this way, training alone with no formal school?...
