Interesting case! I found some transverse plane (rotational) dysfunction in a patient recently. It initially appeared to be a pattern of compensation between the hip flexors and the abdominal obliques. And was largely resolved, but something wasn’t sticking. On deeper investigation, we found that the side of pain is the side the patient rolls on to when her spouse wakes her due to her snoring too loudly.... BUT - she’s only been snoring for about 5 years, shortly following gallbladder removal surgery. For that surgery, the patient is typically intubated. Intubation frequently leads to infrahyoid muscle dysfunction, which can create global patterns of movement dysfunction as the throat is such an important structure. Resolving this dysfunctional hyoid muscle issue not only helped to resolve the hip pain, but she has been sleeping better because she doesn’t appear to be snoring anymore. #acupuncture See more
