Hi!
I wanted to wait until the end of the week to update on this patient as yesterday was her last day and she returned to Pennsylvania. I continued along with the neural mobs, the s/l gapping mobs, and the soft tissue work. She ended up getting a 1 inch external lift on her shoe. She had one put on a wedge type shoe (on the whole shoe) and then she had one put on a high heel, with the lift on the heel and the sole but nothing in the mid part of the shoe-since it was a high heel. She walked so much better in the high heel with the lift vs the wedge shoe, it was like night and day.
She also had a trigger point injection in her left glut maximus. After that injection she walked with her high heel lift and said she has not walked that way in over a 1 yr. Lasted about 3-4 hours.
She had more good days than bad days and still needs a heck of alot more PT but it was a start and I wanted to thank everybody for their suggestions!
Erica
