ping , falling , sitting improperly , stepping off the curb wrong , and so forth .
What we see is that one hip is “ higher ” than the other causing it to appear as though the leg on one side is shorter . Putting a hard prosthetic insert into the shoe on the “ high ” side just insures that the hip will never have a chance to return to balance . If we don ’ t require the musculature in our feet , legs and hips to do the work of balancing our full body weight , they don ’ t get circulation and atrophy , meaning they become weak . Without circulation , there is no innervation . The cells are unable to get the nourishment they need to survive and they begin die , causing pain . A pain signal from your body means it is asking for your attention .
The imbalance in your hips can lead to a cascade of other symptoms : jaw problems ; pain and deterioration of your hip , knee and ankle joints on the other leg ; plantar fasciitis , bunions , neuroma and neuropathy of the other foot . Instead of putting the “ short ” side to sleep , get your hips back where they should be and wake them up with circulation and innervation by requiring them to bear their fair share of weight !
The following is a simple exercise you can do to wake up those hips and bring them back into balance :
1 . Stand with your feet together , hands on top of your head . Have someone stand behind you and settle their hands onto the top of your hipbone on both sides of your body at your waist . Have them notice if the top of the hipbone is higher on one side than the other . If so , you need to align your hips . If both sides are even , your hips are in proper alignment and you do not need to do this procedure .
2 . Spread your feet about shoulder width apart ,
with your feet straight ( straight line from pinky to heel on the outside of the foot ). If you do it right , it feels pigeon-toed . Keeping your back straight up and down , and without allowing your feet to move , slowly bend forward keeping a flat back and straight legs as far as you can without discomfort . Still keeping your back flat and your feet in the same position , return to a standing position . Repeat this action three times .
3 . Without moving your feet , rotate your hips in a large circle five times toward the lowest

side . That is , if your right hip was lower , rotate clockwise five times ; if your left hip was lower , rotate counterclockwise five times .
Without moving your feet , do five more hip rotations in the opposite direction ( toward the high-hip side ).
Without moving your heels , pull your toes toward each other ( pigeon-toed ) as far as possible . Do three more body dips ( like step 2 ), being sure to keep your heels on the floor and your feet straight .
With your “ low-side ” foot , take one “ giant step ” forward , straightening your foot so that when you put it down it is facing straight forward . Bring your back foot forward to join its mate , and stand up nice and straight .
Have your partner check your hip alignment again by repeating step 1 .
If your hips are still out of alignment , you may repeat this entire routine two or three times if necessary . If you are still out of alignment , let it rest for a few hours then try again . Remember , if you have been out of alignment for a long time , it ’ s going to take your body a long time to heal itself .
Ronelle Wood is a leading specialist in Myofascial Release Therapy , having learned the power of fascia from both sides – as a patient and as a healer . She has probed deeply into the light-conducting nature of fascia and what that means for people , how it impacts their emotional and physical wellbeing – and how diminished light conduction can spur problems that someone might not even be aware of . The fascia is the cloak of gossamer connective tissue that surrounds and supports everything in our bodies ; they function like fiber optics , conducting light to all points of our body vessel . When light is stagnant or blocked there is pain and trauma . Website : www . ohmsanctuary . com
