I have this as well and am working on a way to fix it. Look up Left AFIR pattern on youtube. Look for a guy named Conor Harris. He is a Postural Restoration Institute trainer. Basically your pelvis is rotated to the right having you favor your left leg. You will find yourself leaning on it more and it may seem shorter. It isnt shorter its just your pelvis needs to rotate back to the left. You probably have a flatter arch on your left foot compared to your right as well.

I am following this. I am 4 weeks out and my strength has started to diminish. I know there are pharmacological applications that would apply to this situation but I am more interested in possibly looking at the option of splitting sessions into AM and PM…

Connor,

Sorry to hear about your struggles man. I am second year physical therapy student. If you want to give me more details then I could possibly give you some ideas on how to work around these issues you keep running into. Send me a message on IG (I check that more) @heal_withsteel

Nick,

There are some really good mobilization techniques. Google Sternoclavicular wiggle and sternoclavicular caudal glides. Physiotutors Youtube page is a good resource. You will probably have to have someone perform these for you but it will be worth it.

Dosing: 3 sets of 30 seconds a few times a day.

Note: sometimes just moving joints around is the prescription

Ha,

I am a second year physical therapy student. Without knowing more or having the ability to to test the muscle itself, I would recommend obviously training around the injury itself. That probably looks like fewer compound movements and more isolation exercises. I would however, work on some isometric holds for your adductor. Copenhagen planks are a great option. Isometrics actually have an analgesic (pain relieving) effect which could help with training legs. Additionally, some slow eccentric exercises for the adductor itself would be a good idea. If you would like to know more you can reach out to me via IG (I check that more) @heal_withsteel

Is there any swelling behind the knee and does the pain only come on when squatting? I know calf injuries can sometimes cause pain in the back of the knee, but it could also be something like meniscus damage. You’ll need to get checked out by a specialist though to get an accurate diagnosis and advice.

No swelling and yes only pain when squatting. It’s certainly nothing structural just something off with the musculature. Definitely won’t warrant a trip to a doctor anytime soon.
