Re: Common Muscular Weaknesses
#2I really wish there were places that could legitimately analyze muscle imbalances and suggest corrective exercises. The internet only works for the most common ones, such as pelvic tilt, and sometimes you mis-diagnose yourself.
A lot of the "great" information online is bro-science, and doctors generally don't care at all, so neither is optimal.
P.S. The military uses fancy position sensors to track muscle imbalances in Pararescuemen. I really wish there was some access to that facility:
"To improve, the trainees must first be shown where they are deficient. So when they arrive, they enter the Dari Motion Capture system, something similar to what Hollywood uses to fuse actors with their CGI characters. Dari doesn’t use on-body sensors, just cameras that capture the biomechanical motions of subjects." https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/research/a26256665...

I think what you're looking for is a physiotherapist's office.
Somehow we now expect to find everything on internet or apps, and avoid human interactions &c. The truth is some things need in-person expertise and advices given by experts.

Wont a good trainer dig it out, to some extent?
As an aside, exrx is my go to site for no frills "non-bro-science" advice. They back it with simple old-fashioned gifs for each exercise.

Yet their gif of a stiff-legged deadlift has the lifter bending his back.
Most fitness trainers went through a crappy class/college program and know less about fitness than the average fitness bro, let alone anything about muscle imbalances. At least, in my experience from paying a couple.

I had IT band and hamstring attachment tendinitis. I went to the best orthopedic doctor in the city. I explained my symptoms very clearly. He did identify the IT band tendinitis and walked out of the room. I had to catch him "after the appointment" to ask him why the back of my knee hurts then. He THEN did additional tests and identified the other source of the problem.
This is my experience, always. At best, the doctor confirms the problem if I prod them toward it.
I have some pain on the top of my feet now that I am running pretty fast. I am almost sure when I go to the doc they will give me a bs answer.
Shit, last time I had a pulled muscle in my back some doctor wrote "damaged disk" because he needed to put something on the paper to send me to his friend's physical therapy place. I then had to go to another doctor and get an MRI to prove that I don't, in fact, have disk damage, which would otherwise mess up my insurance rates.
I know I sound very bitter, but I find doctors literally worse than useless in most cases.

Couldn't agree more with this: as someone who enjoys lifting weights three times a week and majored in biology, there is just so much BS out there.

Totally agree. I was working out irregularly for past few years, however, in a crappy "bro-science" way. I did heavy squats, deadlifts which made my muscle imbalances even worse.
When I visited few physioterapists, they just showed me few exercises (which I could find on the internet). I recently started to work out just with my body weight and focus on my core strength. It's been better, but my back still hurts after exercise from time to time... Fuck sedentary job.

Did you manage to heal the IT band tendinitis and if so, what did you do?
