Here's Something Really Cool Coming to the Locals Community This Month!

Anthony was treating an ultra-marathoner named Ryan, who just finished a 163 km run to raise money. Ryan ran 163km straight and Anthony treated him at all hours along the way to keep him going.

Well, that resulted in a lot of video footage and now this will become a part of a new webinar for Locals Supporters this month! Anthony will talk about how he treated Ryan before the race to get him ready and what he did during the run to keep him going. He will add a PPT and Ryan will also be on for the Q&A!

This will result in the May Locals Webinar being all about this, with video of the actual event and Anthony treating him. PLUS, Ryan will be on one of the LIVE Q&A session too!

Stay tuned and watch your email for updates!

R leg longer by 1/4”. L2-L5 or S1 very curved. R pelvis juts out compared to L. R shoulder significantly lower than L.

Hip Px and hEDS

Patient: 34-year-old female, currently 15 weeks pregnant.
Diagnosis: Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (diagnosed 2021), hypermobility type (hEDS).

Surgical history: Four right hip surgeries between 2021–2024 for a torn labrum, ultimately requiring a cadaver graft, as well as repair of a femoral head injury. All four procedures have been deemed unsuccessful. In 2022, she also underwent shoulder surgery for a labral tear.

EXSTORE findings: Weakness noted in the L gluteus maximus, R adductor magnus, R hip flexors, L serratus anterior, and supraspinatus.
Current symptoms: Significant discomfort localized to the R greater trochanter, adductors, and hamstrings, with associated low back pain.

Pain management history: Prior to pregnancy, symptoms were managed with Baclofen, which was discontinued during pregnancy and is planned to resume postpartum. She claims she has had relief from DN in the past.
