High hip and tight muscles around shoulder on same side
I have a very tight hip on my right side. I have attempted without success to treat it through physical therapy, massage, the gamut, but still have the stiffness and pain. I also have a very tight right shoulder, pecs and even scalenes on the same side and considerable pain in each of those areas. Standing for extended periods and sitting with arms extended are the worst positions for me. I bought the book a couple of months ago and have attempted to integrate the stretchsitting, stretchlying, and tall standing into my daily life with some success. But extended periods at the computer are awful, as are activities that require standing. Any specific recommendations for loosening a "high" hip on one side?

It's hard to get everything you need from a book, even one with a lot of pictures. Is it possible for you to get to one of our courses? We are traveling to teach all over the country. We also offer Skype consultations. A high hip could be the result of a tight QL (quadratus lumborum muscle), a leg length discrepancy or other factors. Hard to know what is going on without more extensive detective work. Any case with strong asymmetry needs tailored attention. Sounds like you also need a global approach, which our method provides.  Until you can get some individual attention, keep working with the book. A lot of things come together as you practice the other things - that is to say, the techniques reinforce each other.
