You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: TDF Subject: RE: loss of coordination in leg Body: I started doing something new called Z-Health this week. I have been trying to fix all sorts of muscle-biomechanical issues for over 20+ years. I have tried a gauntlet of remedies (ART, Massage, chiro, Rolfing, Egoscue, ect) and nothing sticks. I don't have the loss-of-coordination that you all have on this thread but I lot of what is written here sounds like my running and problems and tried solutions so I keep following and sometimes contributing to this thread. I have a functional short leg, but the knee on the longer leg turns in and actually the pelvis drops down as I move, the whole femur rolls in too, but the foot everts out. I feel like I run with two different half bodies (both doing different things. I don't get the loss of coordination, but my hip jams up and I stumble often in races, my ankle on the same side also feels jammed and I can't rotate it as much as the other. I run a lot when I can but I often have to concentrate on every stride trying to balance out the body. It is a real crappy way to run but I have been doing it for years. This summmer my Gluteus Minimus was horrible and PT didn't do much to fix it and I know that is a common thread here. Anyhow because I read all I can and believe I can fix things (since every once in a while I pop a good day) I keep looking for something new that works. I didn't find much info on Z-Health since it is very new but what I found sounded intriguing and I ordered a DVD. I can't explain it exactly but it involves opening all the joints in the body through simple movements and these movements retrain the body how the joints should move. It is very simple and the routine is short, pain free, and not hard at all (although the hardness would be in learning how to do the movements correctly). In just a few days (actually after the first day) things feel incredibly better as there is way more movement through my "stuck" joints and the running is so much more balanced. My twisted leg is going through the stride with a much more proper alignment- I ran a long treadmill run yesterday without thinking about the stride at all ( I am usually all over the treadmill) and the leg is balancing my weight so much better. It is too early to tell how well this will keep improving things and how well it sticks but I thought I'd pass it on and would be interested if anyone else has tried it oro heard of it. I learned about it after getting into kettlebells that past couple of months and I like them and was trying to read more on strength fitness rather than just running fitness. Here is the website: http://www.zhealth.net/. I have got a lot of ideas from this thread so thought I would offer something new here for the other explorers (even if I am only a beginner at this).
