I'd recommend seeing an OMT (osteopathic manipulative treatment) specialist cuz they literally work up and down, the relief is like instant and you'll be good to go. They'll basically have you moving correctly. You'll feel incredible afterwards on some WTF ish.@ineedsleep212

So yea find one of those. Make sure they actually do that cuz just cuz they have the DO next to their name doesn't necessarily mean they do that.
This might help.

Check osteopathic manipulative treatment there and put your zip code. Or check through your insurance, or google map it lol. That's how I found the one I've gone to.
Some physiotherapists could be good too with it if it's a muscle imbalance thing to strengthen or lengthen certain muscles to fully correct the problem.

i think i been running wrong my whole life
how da fuq have i been running wrong, i thought taht shyt was instinctual
now im wondering if i look awkward as hell running like some whiteboys i see
learn something new everyday bruhs
I think it sounds more complicated than it actually is. Having normal good posture makes this easier and basically having mobility throughout your body to move correctly during the movement. The landing on the balls of your feet thing is natural when you're barefoot hence the move toward minimalist shoes.

Kelly really out here doin the lords work. Breh pushing mobility and self maintenance to the forefront of fitness.
A lot of great info in this thread. Do whatever you can to save your posture, brehs.
I look at some of my patients and at their condition from bad posturing over the years. From super kyphotic thoracic spines, to neck surgeries due to pinched nerves, to premature knee replacements, to frozen shoulders, to premature lumbar fusions, to RTC tears, to chronic muscle spasms that will never settle without extreme approaches. Man, the list goes on.
They're my anti-

my hips/hamstrings are super tight, i can't even do beginner yoga
would you recommend going to a specialist to have them manually stretch me (pause) / break down muscle tissue?

The more complicated you feel the situation to be, the more I'd recommend seeing a specialist to help you. I'd check out mobility vids regarding hamstrings and hip stuff on the dude Kelly Starrett's channel or really anywhere on YouTube. I think smashing aka with a foam roller/lacrosse ball/whatever your choice of a tool (really could be anything) up and down your hamstrings. I'd try that stuff first.

Checking mobility in various areas is good to figure out why.
Can't lie sometimes it seems overwhelming so specialists can help whether it's them doing as you said lengthening and breaking up tissues or resolving issues of mobility and/or muscle imbalance.

I've suggested an osteopath earlier in this thread, but I learned that what they do is basically what chiropractors do which is what ART practitioners do.

Yea, a 1 on 1 evaluation would only benefit you and give you a direction to move forward in. Get an eval + some sessions to see their approach, and continue with it on your own if its nothing serious.
Now, WHO you see is a crap shoot. On paper, an experienced/specialized PT is best suited for you, but there's so much overlap, grey area, and different levels of experience in the realm of physical rehab that it could be from any specialized practitioner from DO, DC, DPT, ATC, CPT, Massage Therapist, Acupuncturist, or a Homeopath. Is it ethical? Of course not, but that's the reality of the situation.
I can't even give you a blanket statement and say just go visit a PT. You might end up at a patient mill and get some half assed treatment. Stay away from large volume places if you want quality. Call and ask them their average time per patient, if they do manual work, if they're modality whores, and if the PT guides you through therapeutic exercise or if you're just gonna be tossed off to an ATC or CPT. And yea, seeking out orthopedic specialized therapists helps.
Hamstring issues aren't chronic. Well... they shouldn't be. And you're not even old. Wherever you go, just know they should be guiding you to be self sufficient and enable yourself to maintain a healthy status for your ailment. Don't fall into the trap that ART, Graston, or any of these other proprietary techniques (that cost a grip to learn), are end-all-be-alls. They're just a few soft tissue mobilization techniques. A tool of many to assist in rehabilitation. You mainly see chiros pushing these as necessities because they need to....
....but that's a whole 'nother rant for a whole 'nother day.
In the mean time look up some Kelly Starrett stuff. He's exactly the kinda physical therapist you'd want to see should you choose to visit one.
This couldn't be more true. shyt is frustrating. It's a shame how broken healthcare is. Ideally, you'd want a Kelly Starrett physical therapist or an osteopath and they give you a program to fix the issue. Dudes just try to milk you for every penny. Recovery from injury can be so much faster while not costing a grip. All I needed after my first visit to an osteopath was a plan of attack in terms of strengthening. Strengthening my feet/ankles and strengthening my weaker glute that's causing that side of the hip to be hiked up do to the other glute being stronger and compensating for the weaker one.Yea, a 1 on 1 evaluation would only benefit you and give you a direction to move forward in.

I'm determined to fix this all myself now cuz I realized ridiculous healthcare is in this country. Everything really is a business.
Soon as I hear something about arch support for my feet, I know I'm not seeing that person again. The more contraptions that I see that look extra crazy, the more they don't deserve a dollar. If tweaking my back isn't addressed right away and simply, I'm out. Not looking at entire movements, neutral feet, stable joints and easily fixing that. I'm outta here. I'm using that book solely and researching the proper exercises for that one side and my feet.
I think the best course of action for someone to have regarding injuries is having someone reset your pelvis and use the ART technique to loosen all of your muscles and then addressing imbalances that are moving you out of imbalance. I feel like most physical therapy places either don't know or just stretch out the entire process making the recovery slower than it should be due to the fact that they expect people to disappear once they are out of the pain stage even if they need shyt that makes them more susceptible to injury.
