I have a problem which makes it impossible for me to bend to tie laces or puch my knees back any further than 90 deg literally..
i have tried injections ( prolotherapy ) to strengthen lots of areas that have improved this but i still cant bend over and have noticed that it seems to have something to do with the illium as well as my stomach muscles which feel almost unstable ( easily moved )
I dont whether this problem is result of one thing or combination but i have noticed the stomach area down to the groin seems to be involved and that injections on lower joints ( knees , feet ) have enabled me to bend better .. though its is apparent like now when i bend i quite literally feel resistance / bulge in my stomach that folds heavily in just below the ribs.
The only time I notice or see improvement is when the injections cause this illica crest and hip area to rotate inwards towards my stomach , other than that i am not sure what to do , if any one has any suggestions i be grateful

have you been to physio. their are lots of pelvic mobilistations that they could try if you pelvis is out of alignment. Gym balls are good to strengten core stomach muscles (£4.99 from argos), and i would also try aeorobic exercise to ensure you are as fit as you can be. cycling would b a good one as you will also maintain mobility of hip and knee joint.
If that fails, physio can also try acupuncture on you.
hope this helps

Regarding the shoes, wear slip ons, and use a long shoe horn.
