Started using my photonics light on it, stretching her and massaging the area. Any other "at home" ideas I can do? Have already talked to vet about electro stimulation if this doesn't help.

I had an OTTB who had an atrophied hip. I always had trouble keeping weight on him & put him on a high fat low starch diet that was really palatable. Within 3 months he was normal again, so I attributed it to his change in diet.
