When doing squats, I was experiencing pain in my left thigh, which prevented me from practicing or performing well. I visited the hospital and had massage treatments, but the pain did not improve, so I went to see a doctor.
Skeletal correction using myofascial release injections (saline only). Corrects pelvic malposition and poor scapular range of motion. Treatment time is 1 hour.
The photo shows a comparison of the patient's posture when bending and stretching during a deadlift, with the hips lowered to the maximum. In the photo before treatment, the upper body was leaning forward compared to the lower body, and the patient was unable to lower his hips due to a difference in hip joint position between the left and right sides, poor mobility of the lumbar spine, and poor mobility of the pelvis. However, by correcting the pelvis to a neutral position, the mobility around the pelvis and the mobility of the spine were improved, which is thought to be the reason for the patient's good posture.
Because there is more room in the lower body and pelvis/lumbar area when lifting weights, we believe that this will prevent lumbar injuries caused by excessive load from a vector that is not suited to the lumbar structure, muscle damage around the lower back, and improve the transmission of force from the lower body to the upper body.

summary :
Daily practice and everyday life can disrupt the musculoskeletal balance of the body, but if you get injured, you can enter a negative cycle that you can't escape.
By correcting the skeleton and maintaining a state in which injured muscles and tendons are not put under stress, we believe that it is possible to gradually return the body to normal and regain the ability to push oneself further.
This patient has been undergoing skeletal maintenance once a month, and problems have been resolved as needed, and the damaged area is gradually recovering. (Although not yet completely healed, the patient has reported that he no longer feels pain in the area where he initially felt pain.)
The following photo shows three frames extracted from a video of a person doing squats, overlaid on top of each other. It shows the trajectory of the person standing up from a crouched position.
Before treatment, the trunk trajectory was curved, whereas after treatment it followed a vertical trajectory.
Before treatment, I felt stiffness and pain in my left hip joint, so I would stand up with my upper body tilted to the left to align the axes of my left hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint and reduce the pain.
In contrast, after treatment, the trajectory of the trunk is now vertical, which has improved the instability of the left hip joint, improved the transmission of force from the hip joint to the ankle joint, and enabled the patient to raise the upper body vertically.
