From Frustration to Freedom: Resolving Long-Term Leg & Glute Pain – A Real Patient Case Study

In this powerful case study, Jacob Steyn breaks down the complex journey of a 47-year-old sporty woman who battled persistent leg and glute pain for years - with no lasting relief from multiple practitioners. Starting with buttock pain, a swollen-feeling calf, and foot tingling, her symptoms masked a deeper issue: low back instability and nerve tension.

Jacob shares the exact step-by-step rehab approach he used, from initial relaxation and posture work to introducing advanced core stability exercises like bird dogs and side planks. Over five months, with patience and consistency, she returned to pain-free walking - and even started running again.

Whether you're a practitioner or someone struggling with similar symptoms, this episode offers valuable insights into why chronic pain can be misleading, how to assess it properly, and the kind of commitment needed to overcome it.

👉 Learn why slow progress is still progress - and how the right routine can transform recovery.
