EXERCISE #3 

Knee to Chest Stretch 

For short leg syndrome, foot flare, hemipelvis, and knee flexion 

 

Exercise 3 a 

 

Lie on your back on the floor or a firm surface. Please note: This exercise should not be done on a bed. Bend one leg at the hip and knee, drawing the knee toward your chest. Grasp this knee with both hands and pull the knee as close to your chest as possible. The other knee must remain straight and flat on the table - this is very important.

 

Pulling your bent knee as close as possible toward your body, begin to straighten that

leg, pushing very hard against your hands which hold the leg in place. 

 

Hold this isometric position for a slow count of five. Return the leg to the floor and rest.

 

This procedure is done three times with one leg, and then three times with the other. 

 

Exercise 3 b 

 

Then do three repetitions with both legs at the same time.

It all started when I was driving and a truck ran a stop sign hitting the drivers side door of my car. I had several broken ribs, a bruised lung, broken clavicle and extensive bruising. I guess it could have been much worse. What I didn’t expect was the pain would go on long after the bruises and bones healed. 

Prescription medication helped during the healing process with pain. But once I went back to work they were way to strong. I thought the neck pain and headaches would eventually go away. But in fact, it got worse with time.

Trying to seek relief, I saw doctor after doctor. I received test after test. That lasted for 4 years! I had, x-rays, EMGs, MRIs. The doctors admitted there was something wrong, but said it shouldn’t be causing all the neck pain, headaches, or inability to turn my head to the left. In the end I was told it was something I’d just have to live with. I thought NO WAY!

Almost 5 ½ years after the accident, I got a flyer from a crusader, disguised as a chiropractor telling me about chiropractic care. I set up an appointment, received a thorough evaluation and he told me he could help. Finally! Someone who knew what to do!

I felt immediate relief after the first treatment! I slept through the night for the first time in years. My headaches were gone by the second treatment. I can now turn my head without any pain. All thanks to Dr. Swolensky.

I came to see Dr. Swolensky after witnessing the amazing results my aunt had in his office. I had no control of my life. I was a ‘tripping zombie’. 
I suffered from severe migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and spent most of the day in bed. Life was really non-existent for me.
 

In just 7 weeks I have gone from 31 different pills to 4. I have 90% less pain. I also lost 20lbs in those 7 weeks.

I am a totally and completely different person. It’s like a night and day difference.
