An interesting case report to pass along: A 45-year-old male with no significant past medical history presented with pain in the left thigh, and limitation of movement at the left hip and knee joint for one month. Ultrasound, CT, and MRI revealed a liquid mass in the left psoas. Percutaneous drainage of this mass yielded 300 ml pus from the psoas. After surge…ry, the patient reported relief of pain; however, ten days after removal of the drainage tube, the patient complained of persistent pain in his left thigh. CT revealed that the psoas abscess had extended inferiorly, and involved the entire set of adductors of the left thigh. Open surgical drainage was performed at the flank and at the thigh, yielding 350 ml of pus from the thigh.” Never heard of an abscessed psoas draining into the adductors.” Have any of you even seen a psoas abcess?

I would like to invite everyone to attend Paul Kelly’s Myoskeletal Workshop on August 14 – 15th in Cleveland, OH… Paul is a Certified Advanced Myoskeletal
Senior instructor with the Freedom From Pain Institute. His Journey Began in the
Sports Medicine/ Exercise Science field at the University of Tennessee while on
an Athletic Scholarship. This six year training program exposed Paul to a multitude of orthopedic conditions, and led Paul into the manual therapy field where he received his LMT from the C.O.R.E. Institute for Structural Integration. In 1996 Paul started, “The Temple Human Performance Services, inc.” Based out of Knoxville Tennessee; Paul works with professionals from the NFL, PGA, Ultra marathoners, Bodybuilders, Olympic Gymnasts, Geriatrics and kids. Paul takes pride in working with some of the most difficult structural and pathological disorders including: Scoliosis, Dystonia’s,
Disc and Spinal cord pathologies, post surgical fusions and more.
Paul has been working with me as a teaching assistant since 1998. His grasp of Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy is obvious in his dynamic, upbeat presentations.
I highly recommend his workshops to anyone with an interest in Myoskeletal Alignment, exercise science, nutrition, and sports medicine. Click on the banner below to register… Erik Dalton

I use these assisted stretching routines to finish each neck and head pain session. These routines are excellent for joint fixations, nerve pinches, TOS, dowager’s humps and forward head postures. Taken from my Volume 2 Advanced Myoskeletal Alignment Home-Study course.
