I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw the thumbnail for this, lol! I started a 'boot camp' about two months ago and noticed that area is awfully tight and sometimes gets angry at me during exercises. I asked one of the coaches what that was and how to fix it. I got a blank look in response (darling guy, but I guess I caught him off guard). I ventured into Google and went down a lot of rabbit holes with no success. Now I'm just minding my own business and up you pop! Good job, algorithm. I'll add these to my routine ❤

Dang, I needed to watch this today ! I forgot about all these exercises. I have went from stretching to much to strength training to much . Thank you so much Tom, this is beyond helpful .

Many thanks to you Tom and Jenny for the great advice. I’ve had an ongoing issue with what felt like Sciatica and upper bum pain. These stretches that i’ve been doing for a few weeks have really worked wonders and mean I actually sleep better and function better through the day. As a teacher I now get off the seat regularly and do these and the pelvic tilt stretches. I have a stretching routine in the evening where i combine these and it takes around 40 minutes! But the benefit is now so apparent. The kids also join in now as i’ve explained about how tight muscles and joints get so it’s it’s had a knock on benefit. Keep up the great work, it’s the best stretching advice on KZread

Sometimes I feel like what I do is stupid and completely useless. Massage is great for getting someone comfortable enough to move again, which is vital for chronic pain that makes people never want to move (I’ve got bulging disks and hypermobility myself, and it hurts always) but I swear so matter how many people I refer to a physical therapist or talk about normal range of motion with, nobody ever just moves or listens. And then they go around saying “this massage therapist couldn’t help me, they’re terrible, it’s their fault I’m still in pain” but I’ll ask, “Hi, any luck with a physical therapist of moving through range of motion?” And they’ll say “Never did any of that, I want YOU to do your job and fix me” Massage wasn’t designed to be used separate from movement, it wasn’t designed to fix people. It was designed to ease discomfort and provide care so people can de-stress and move again. Swedish massage was invented by a German man Per Henrick Ling a physical therapist who used it along side gymnastics and fencing to treat pain. Massage in india was used with yoga (movement) and nutrition + spiritual programs to address mental health. Massage in china and rome was used once again with movement, nutrition (in some cases) hydrotherapy. Yet no matter how much I let people know that for long term results they need to move their body like a human body, they always come back mad at me because I didn’t fix them. I’m not supposed to fix people, they fix and heal themselves, I’ll I do is assist.

Been looking for videos that help me for months 😵😵 Just found your channel within the last couple days & just found this specific video today which caters to my issue specifically. Just finished my first set of these exercises & my back feels 10x better! Can’t wait to see how it feels after doing this routine daily for a couple weeks 🥳🥳 Earlier this year I started lifting weights for the first time in years & found myself barely able to walk within a couple weeks with my lower left back completely thrown out. I tried a combo of approaches to fix it including other stretch videos because I thought I might’ve had a slipped disc, chiro which didn’t help much after the first appointment, & massages which helped but didn’t get my back to 100%. I’m thinking about getting dry needling. Do you think it would complement this routine or should I wait to see if this is enough?

I noticed that when on my Right leg for the hip hike im getting the classic outer hip snapping feeling- its not painful during the movement. This also happens to be the side i typically get glute pain and knots near the iliac crest. My other issue is my left QL is also tight and sore when i foam role. Does this sound like i have a glute med imbalance/excessive tightness? My flexibility is and always has been pretty poor 😔. I am just recently getting serious about my mobility training as opposed to only strength training.

I'm 25 female, I'm obese. My pains just shifting since last year. First left sciatica then I started streching and did yoga and it finally was gone. After that I was really inconsistent with exercises and then my lower back and hip started to pain then I tripped and fell thrice on my left ankle which also gave me right hip pain. When I squat I don't really feel any pain but it's really difficult to bend midway standing. I have done X-ray's no fracture or anything was observed. Although I don't really struggle with intermediate level yoga poses and am really comfortable holding the positions for longer time, I'm really worried. I have started doing yoga again. My ankles are doing better but should I look into something else than the exercises. Your advice would be really helpful. BTW thanks for the video.

Is it okay to do the others without the pigeon pose? I badly torqued my knee with pigeon and have had knee replacement on both sides. I don’t think I can do pigeon but the other sets look doable.

Hi Tom! Thank you for all your awesome knowledge and advice! I followed along to this video two days ago and since then the front of my right hip (right in front of the joint) has started hurting. How do I know if it’s a good pain or a bad pain? And how do I address it? I almost never work out and stretch but I’m still flexible, I don’t know if I should have taken it easier since I’m flexible but weak?

Hard to tell without seeing your squat and overall hip movement really! Would check how you are with the 90/90 position each side and couch stretch and see if it changes that happening

I have seen these stretches on another channel and did them but it only made me feel it more after. I just thought it was because I didn’t give it enough time to rest, so I did and I didn’t feel it is acceptable the awareness of that is was there, faint. Saw this video more than a month later but now I just feel it again. It makes me wonder if the muscle is the same one you are mentioning in this video. It’s just about the right cheek small and closer to the spine. I pulled this when laying on my back and lifting my leg and getting more resistance from the blanket than expected. Any ideas on what it is or suggestions would be appreciated.

There’s so many factors when it comes to back pain really, this is just a targeted routine that’s usually helpful if the hips are moving ok outside of that, if you have tightness or weakness somewhere else it could be a referred pain

If you're prone to sciatica, doing the cross leg with the weight may cause a flare up no matter how careful you are or how good your form is.

Yes hip rotation first will be helpful in that case

I thought it was impossible and possibly dangerous for me to even attempt this stretch. But after almost a week this nagging pain on my right side side, i was willing to try anything. So rather gingerly i managed to get into the pigeon pose for about 39 seconds and was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the pain had just vanished. I can atleast walk around without an awkward gait, though bending forward is still a bit tender. Thank you very much Tom and thank you KZread algos

I strengthen all the time now, BC I used to stretch all the time.

This seems like THE perfect video for my chronic SI joint pain on the right side since I'm super tight on that side and the hip hikes demonstrate how weak I am on the right side (get fatigued quicker and are more painful). My right leg externally rotates when I'm sitting with relaxed, dangling legs (e.g., on chair lift snow skiing, my right ski is rotated out ~ 45 degrees) so I think my internal rotator muscles are also weak. I've been doing these exercises faithfully for nearly a month but I'm not improving and it might be getting worse since I'm finding it more and more difficult to sit for long without gnarly pain around right SI joint. Sitting is the worst! At what point does one consider these problems might be coming from a low back/spine issue? Thank you!

I get a flare up in this area every now and then, I'm trying to free up the area but there's no way I can into that pigeon pose or do that 2nd exercise due to very tight hips and lower back issues, hip hikes and side planks are ok, is there anything else like the first 2 exercises I could do, similar but regressive?

Yes I had a similar issue, the more you practice the less it happens, can take a lot of months tho so just stick with it

Someone with severe right sided low back pain due to disc hernia Timon ca not possibly do any of these.

We have many different ones, you would be wanting the during a flare up video in that case

I know most of this is caused by one QL being tight and I've fixed it on lateral flexion (standing straight and sliding hand down side to knee) but on torso rotation (turning counter clockwise) it still is killing me into the lower ribs. Would this be something else you think? Rear obliques or something

Would check out our banded push pull video and start doing that daily for a while, could just be stiffness overall through your trunk

@TomMorrison thank you for the reply. I've been doing wood chops (face mirror hold cable and twist, like a golf swing). High low and chest height but haven't noticed any improvement. I really feel it bad on bent over rows on the right side when weight is going down. Will try these, thanks for something new.

Gosh I need to make time for these stretching in my life I'm just so frightened where to start as I'm in so much pain everywhere
