I was looking for help with the pain in my left hip

(as the patient),

Michael at McLeod Primary Care Network in Whitecourt has been working with me for over a year. He gave me a small rubber ball to use on my glute area to help ease the pain with my hip/glute problem. I just love it because it is so easy! All I have to do is sit on a chair, position the ball and roll it on the area that is hurting. I can do this anytime of the day and as many times as I feel I need to do it, as it does give me some relief. I hope this gives some inspiration to those who are suffering.  Michael really knows his stuff!
