After 10 years of continued operations and injuries, I'm pretty much locked. Physio focus only on 1 specific injury at the time, they don't see a body as a whole. Yesterday, I started this routine. It was painful all 4 times. Today, it already hurts less, and I am able to almost keep my balance and keep posture. I look forward to the results in 2 weeks time.

You have literally changed my life this week! I've had recurring lower back issues due to APT and Lumbarisation since my late 20's (I'm now 43). After an unfortunate incident 4.5 months ago at a kids inflatable park, I've been in pain most days since and spent a fortune at the Osteo. After a few days of doing these exercises, the pain had almost gone! I've been going for a week, so will continue for another week...You are my HERO!!❤❤❤

Yup, thanks for another example of simple brilliance. As a practitioner of martial art, I am always ragging on about my students' bad posture.

Seriously, no good posture is possible without a neutral pelvis. One by one, these students are starting to fall in line (PUN INTENDED). You da man, Tom.

Background music is rocking

First off, Tom - a big thank you for this informative video. It's been two weeks and this has greatly helped with my posture and overall well being; I am no longer stiff and my hips/hip flexors are not in constant pain. Now, you mention that after two weeks just walking in your corrected posture will serve to ensure the issue remains corrected, is this correct or should we still complete this routine, maybe not 4x every day, but at some reduced frequency? I'm a little hesitant to get back into strength training in fear that I'll go back to my poor movement patterns and re-introduce APT/poor posture (I think that is what likely caused it to begin with). If I do want to resume lifting weights, of course I'd ease into things and do my best to use proper form but - what stretches would you recommend to counter-act any ill effects which may result from this? Your videos are fantastic!

Meaning my legs were never different lengths, my pelvis was twisted, and no doctor ever said that in my 55 years on this Earth. Patient, heal thyself. I have read that it's estimated that 95% of leg length difference is NOT leg length difference, it's a hiked pelvis on one side.

Great info! After I do the couch stretch my hip flexor/quad on the right side gets quite painful. When I do the standing march my hip flexor is painful and I get pain down the leg to the front of the knee. It feels like the quads is "too short". When I lift my right leg in the standing march it feels like my lower back is tensing up. I'm wondering if this could be a side effect of APT. It does feel like the more I can brace my abs and relax my lower back, the less pain I get. I'm just curious if there can be a connection here.

Can see sometimes if you have been very tight for a long time but it should rectify itself after a week, would film yourself to make sure you’re doing everything correctly 💪🏼

Let’s say I can only work on this twice a day. Early morning and afternoon. Will I still be able to fix my apt, but just in a longer timespan than 14 days?

Yes it’s more the awareness throughout the day that will help you most combined with the stretches, it’ll take however long it takes so just best to get started 😄

Tom what about that back knee? Close into the wall or bench?

Basically wherever gives you the best stretch at the front of the hip, main thing is not to position yourself so you only feel a quad stretch 😄

If I do this, will the posture itself correct? I don't have any pain, but I lose some inches of height due to this and want to fix it.

Yes if you do it regularly you’ll find you start to stand differently 😊

Not trying to brag or anything but I have quite strong glutes and going 100/110% on a flex gives me some pain, in general my fitness is pretty good but I'm wondering how essential is the level of power going into these exercises, is it enough to feel a good the stretch or am I seeking to push more into mild pain territory

There can be other factors like your hip rotation or ability to engage your hamstrings properly or balance so if you don’t find these challenging then you may need other things

I thought I'd give this a try since due to the current situation I'm at home all day anyway, I find myself sitting a lot and feel it becoming a strain on my lower back. But I can't for the life of me find the correct position for the couch stretch. Seems I'm just not very flexible at all. I'm having a hard time getting into the position to begin with and all I'm getting from it is a rather heavy stretch in my upper leg, having no way to shift it into a hip stretch. I've tried around a bit and can feel my upper legs getting sore from just trying to find the right position without having done any hip stretching whatsoever.

rraaiizz this is another nice variation that works on the same principles! I use it quite often for people, you want to build yourself to the full couch stretch over time, this will help kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKt8ltewj9LZqLw.html

@@TomMorrison I have the same problem, but when I try the bench stretch from the above video it still only stretches my quads. I'm gonna look at yr other hip videos and see if I can find something that hits the spot. Thanks for your uploads!

How do I keep a good posture over 8 hours of walking while pushing a cart that can weigh up to several hundred pounds?

It's hard to do so, usually the best way is to work on it outside of work, making yourself so strong that your "normal" is good posture without having to compensate 💪

I have diastasis recti and shouldn't do planks, is there an alternative?
