The runner's kidney: A case report

Kidney somatic dysfunction could be easily missed when treating a runner as pain in runners is usually biomechanical. In this case report, a 51 year old woman with pain in her gluteus while running is presented. After treatment with physical therapy and structural osteopathic manipulation, there was no improvement. Once the key lesion (a second degree kidney ptosis) was found and treated, the patient could resume her training without any pain.
