Question – Do you think that the sartorius muscle would go into spasm with trigger points due to weak glute medius/ unstable pelvic(compensatory pattern), or is it likely affected by adrenal fatigue if the persons diet/lifestyle was crap!!!
Any thoughts?? I done some trigger point work and some wall angels (side lying version), he says it feels loads better today, but I have a feeling it will spasm up tomorrow during the game??
Answer -
Sartorius muscle is likely to be facilitated if there is quadricep dominance, but also could be spasmed as a result of small intestine inflammation or dysfunction. If it is a gut related issue then it may spasm again, and then he must deal with this before any compensatory pattern can be corrected.
I suggest -
1. Try a rotation diet, and clean up his diet - don’t eat the same food you had on Monday until Friday. Get him to eat a majority of whole organic foods, fresh vegetables, meat, and avoid packaged, tinned foods and convenience foods.
2. Make sure he drinks 0.033% of body weight in Kg, in litres of Evian or Vittel water.
3. Make sure he gets to bed before 10.30 pm and sleeps 8 hours.
4. Assess his breathing – does he breath from the chest, or with his mouth open. If he is not breathing from his abdomen (diaphragm) he amy not be digesting his food properly or eliminating waste. This can switch off the muscles that stabilise his hip.
5. Most footballers are one sided and build an imbalance between left and right legs (often right footed player have problems with the left SI joint locking and the right SI joint becoming too mobile. This can cause pronation on the lower extremeties and the quadriceps and sartorius becoming too dominant, and often spasming.
6. I suggest gettting a full assessment with a CHEK II practitioner or higher. They will be able to assess his posture, movement patterns, diet and lifestyle then design a program to help him or refer to the right professional to help him.
SOG knives…
Interesting ideas… I wonder how the Hollywood media would portray this?…
