Dear Mukunda, I write on behalf of my Mom who has been experiencing
increasing pain in her right hip joint. She is 67, very thin, fit, and yet
very stiff. She has little to no hip turn out, so essentially all hip openers
have become impossible. What would your recommend? She can barely do the JFS exercises. What would you recommend? Is there a structural yoga therapist you would recommend in the Philadelphia area?
A: all the SYTherapists i have trained are listed on my website www.yogatherpycenter.org under graduates of training page. there is no one there but might be someone close. i would workign with turn out motions in JFS #3 (hip flexion especially), #7 (sunbird) and also in locust. those are more affective than in JFS #5. that oen is much harder for those with hip troubles. in future is best to ask questions via my website www.yogaforums.com that way answers can be shared with others who search that site for topic questions. namaste
