Basically, anything involved with strains you gotta take slow and build back up much like the lower back. Proper movement is key as well. Most people with knee or lower back pain have problems with proper biomechanics of the hip -- both lacking in range of motion, stability, and/or strength. Very important to stretch and loosen everything that is tight, and reset with proper squatting movements and strength work. This is indeed why I wrote the article on shoes, sitting, and lower body dysfunctions. Ubiquitous things like shoes and sitting cause problems when we don't even know it.

Only my pain got progressively sharper over the course of several months. The first stretch you mentioned of laying back and bringing the injured leg up, knee to the opposite shoulder is the stretch they use to do an initial diagnosis of a labral tear. Off to the MRI arthrogram and yep, torn labrum. It seems more and more crossfitters are getting these tears...mainly because instead of just calling it groin or hip pain, the root cause can be determined. I'm headed into surgery Thursday to get it repaired. If she is at a constant pain level of 2 to 4 even with less squatting and more stretching, get a labral tear ruled out...

My PT/Chiro guru had me doing the exact exercises and I am now about 90%. I snatched for the first time yesterday and it felt pretty good! This is exactly what happened to me.

Trying to build up strength in the glutes by squatting though. Sounds pretty similiar to what I’m doing to treat ITB syndrome. Trying to build up strength in the glutes by squatting though.
