wow!! thanks for the info... as far as I can tell my pain (which a massage therapist ... certified for sports told me was my ITB band...).. seemed to be where part of the ITB band looks like it dives under the other part where it starts to curve upward towards the crest...
if I stand w/ my left knee locked & hyper extend my left hip side & slightly back... it would be at the farthest out bony protrusion (not so bony anymore!!)
does that make sense in the scheme of things???
It used to hurt my "standing" (in my case left) leg/hip most... esp. during after repeated hip drops... I learned to control it by squeezing my left glutes w/ each (right) hip drop... so my left hip would not hyper extend..
also on mayas (downward figure 8's) I found that by keeping my low spine long (tail bone towards floor/pubic bone pulled up toward belly button) & heels on the floor... AND pushing my working hip DOWN.. rather than lifting the other hip..... using/stretching the muscles in the torso rather than the outer thighs....helped & other good by products= really toned obliques... PLUS a KILLER maya!
