yesterday evening i visited a spinologist  due to the fact that i had a "misallignment" between my pelvis and spine. this problem had been brought to my attention from weeks of discomfort and eventually several days of unbearable pain!

the spinologist done what he had to do and while at times i felt like a contortionist and i was worried when i could hear the crunching sound at the bottom of my back, i was delighted as some of the pain was immediately relieved! having attended to my main complaint and cause of pain he then examined my spine!

"i have no real trouble with my back though, just a bit of tightness in my shoulders" i gladly informed him lying face down and at an exhale of my breath, he forcefully pressed down on my spine! while there was no pain, the sound of bones cracking along with the sensation was one i wont forget for a while! after he worked his wat down my spine he informed me that i had two vertebre misalligned at the top of my back and four misalligned midway!

this was a huge suprise to me and i would strongly recommend anyone participating in heavy lifting (competing or not) get their back checked by a spinologist as you might have something wrong with your back without even knowing. i know its not a miracle cure but i feel a lot better after even one session, all the tension in my shoulders is gone and my posture is greatly improved. it will take me several more visits before im back to 100% but im sure this treatment will help me improve my strenght when i get back training again. for anyone interested in reading more about the benefits of the treatment please check the link i have posted below - it is very interesting

over the past few weeks i have been getting a pain in my right buttock and the back of my right leg. over the past few days the pain had become unbearable! i could not sit down without pain and when i stood up i found it painful to straighten my right leg. i was able to visit a physiotherapist today to see what was causing this. to my surprise he discovered that my spine and my pelvis have been dislocated (the s.i. joint) due to heavy (for me) deadlifting and squatting!! and now i must visit a spinologist so that he can re-allign my pelvis and spine this evening, then i must make further visits to the physio to ensure a speedy recovery! ok im having a shite run of luck lately and i hope this will come to an end soon. ill see what the spinologist says later and post it here - that all for now!
