After about 18 months of doing a hip flexibility program combined with putting an arch on my foot with good shoes, I'm finally breaking through. feelsgoodman.gif. Also - I stopped going for longer runs altogether (ie. 8km+). Made everything worse.

Not picking on you in particular as many people say "my hips are tight" without really knowing what they are saying. The hip is a joint. The joint itself is not tight. Its the muscles and fascia in the area that are tight. Its an important distinction because many people dont understand the basic anatomy of their own body and dont understand what is not functioning properly or what the cause of it is and how to solve it.
