VERY much, thank you! At 10:31, I've used a strap to keep my foot raised. The end loop is hooked over my foot while the length is draped over my shoulder and I hold it out in front of me. I can pull or loosen the strap to bend my knee a little or a lot. I've also used various sized balls including a 10-12" ball from WalMart that literally has the words, Playground Ball printed on it and a grapefruit sized ball from Dollar Store. That muscle - adductor? - was so tight, I could barely walk. It's 96% fixed now! Question: Can a person's body be riddled with tendinosis? I'd love to see a video where you talk about tendinosis. I understand it can be the culprit behind carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, etc. But, what about other areas of the body?

Please though everyone beware of pushing the couch stretch too far. It wasn’t from instruction of this video but I tore something doing this stretch chasing a release from tension and tightness in the quad and hip flexor. I felt a sensation like snapping guitar strings and heard a crunchy tearing sound. No instant bad pain but a stingy burning sensation. over the next day and weeks a stabbing pain on each step with the left leg as I extended through has lead to a year of trying different exercises trying to fend off hip stiffness glute weakness and quad numbness and tightness. ITB syndrome and sciatica have also reared their head. All because I was chasing a youthful flexibility at 50 years old to help with learning Jiu jits😢. Now I am not training at all stopped jogging and have had 7 months off work. It’s a very slow recovery at my age. I still suffer with low level pain in the hip flexor and occasionally a sudden spasm of tightness pain and weakness here and in the high groin adductors. Take this all very slowly and easy. 🙏

I hear you. It’s probably healthy advice for anyone stretching anything in that you need to do it at a level that feels safe and comfy. It’s hard to push stretching really hard and expect our nervous systems to let go.

I agree. I had a PT clinic push the kneeling stretch to the point where I bent the front leg to the inside into a Yoga pigeon pose. It ended up tearing my right medial glute muscle which was agonizing. I had to use vicodin for a year during the healing process. I ended up having a tenotomy surgery with a platelet rch plasma injection into the injured area. It's really important to be careful and to have a PT who understands how to adapt movements for different ages and underlying chronic conditions. BTW, the video is very well done with excellent explanation of how to do the movements.

Omg. Game changer !!! Not only the exercises but how l functioned day to day. Every morning I lay in bed reading the news with my knees bent. Every morning I got out of bed and limped to the kitchen. No more !!! Now I get straight out of bed , do my stretches etc and read the news standing up. As I said, absolute game changer after years of thinking this is it. Thank you.

Wonderful to hear Joanne! Hope it’s the little piece of information you were missing!

Ok I just got my lower left back pain removed and I am amazed how precise and qualitative your explanation is! I struggle for years with back discomfort, nothing horrible but still… I have tried so many different doctors and techniques etc, but it is the first time that I, by myself, succeeded releasing muscles in my back. I only did the roller in the lower back, let’s say that I only found pain and stiffness on every level, so it took me several sessions in a week to make my body accept it, but eventually, with a lot of breathing and concentration, when I felt finally some of my lower back muscles releasing themselves, it was really impressive. I always stretched my psoas with the traditional “knight” position, but eventually I got it relaxed through this new stretching exercise… and for now , I do feel that my lower back is a bit soar because it never experienced this stretch, but it feels relaxed and long and I will repeat it if the pain comes back… Thank you ! Sorry for my approximate English, I am French:)

I’ve been explained these positions by different practitioners to help with my psoas and hip care for decades BUT no one has ever suggested to activate the muscles while doing so. Without even trying it yet, it makes so much sense! 🤯 My PT always has me lift my leg when he presses my psoas and other spots to activate the area but I didn’t think to ask or find a way to duplicate it myself!

Awesome Tara! It should be a staple of all stretches thanks to its ability to make genuine change!

What we basically do is we are working with an upper layer of our muscles while the reason for is some dislocations in the spine (hypertension and spasms and deep spine muscles) that trigger adaptation response and spasm more upper layers. A slight dislocated in the neck would effect all the body cos it tries to adjust everything to keep the head straight. I had 1 inch difference in my legs length that was caused by a little neck problem i got when i was 6yr old. It caused tensions throughout the body, and a lot of triggers that was gone imminent after my neck was put to its correct position. Most of these tension is spine related, including shoulders tension

Grant, great video, I even learn another stretch.. I have been helping people with lower back issues for a few decades, including myself. I glad you covered sitting posture and the psoas muscle as a lot of people do not understand how much havoc a tight psoas muscle can do to your lower back. I believe this is likely the #1 cause back issues today. Not treated properly can lead to degenerate back disease. I am well verse in realigning sacrum through a series of stretched. That foam roller is a great help for the lower back, in fact it is great from the sacrum to the neck. The biggest issue I had was getting diagnosed when I shortened a psoas muscle on one side, which caused a rotation at l4/l5 and compressed a disc... (Very nasty to say the least). As you can imagine, I had multiple symptoms including sciatica. I was in 2 years of therapy and only got temporary relief, I never thought of the psoas muscle, until researching, I found and RMT who demonstrated how to access and massage the psoas. I got into position and omg I has acute pain when palpating it . This led to the correct therapy, which got me pain free in a few months and month of exercises to get re-balanced. The psoas muscle inserts up to the T12 (diaphragm), so one of the indicators of an inflamed psoas, us that when you cough it hurts your lower back.. Your video here is awesome, my psoas muscle needed more help that what you covered in the video due to the collateral effects of an inflamed shortened psoas. I also learn how to re-hydrate my lower disc's, a simple exercise, but works amazing. Would love to share with you, so you can help more people... Thank you for your video.

Do you still offer virtual consultations? I have been struggling with severe pain for almost 10 yrs. Former athlete. Two hip surgeries, a spinal fusion, and a car accoent later and I can't seem to find someone to help me understand what's preventing my body from recovering. None of my health care team seems to be able to be motivated or educated enough to dig into root cause. They all have their own perspectives, and while the joints have been replaced, I'm left with tightness, stiffnes, inconsistent functional movement, and daily pain. I refust to accept that my body has to remain in the current condition. After watching your video in addition, I feel hopeful that you can help me put it all together.

So I work in hvac 6 years now and also roofed house for about 20 years so I’ve beaten my body up , I struggle with herniated disk in lower back and PT said I have a rotated hip . I struggle with Sciatic pain too ,numbness in toes and hands . My psoas is super tight ,when laying on a bench and holding one knee to my chest the other leg definitely doesn’t go parallel with the bench. I don’t exercise other than work but I’m always sore and that’s probably why . I’m like all other construction workers that probably just get up and go to work and don’t condition for it . I know after all these years of hard work I should condition myself to be able to sustain myself through the hard week of work . My hips always pop when full extension and I know that’s the psoas popping over the bone , also was told by PT I have a lazy ass / lazy butt muscles . I need to wake up all these muscles. Where should I start my workout routine? I’m 40yrs old and don’t want to feel way older than I am.

Hey mate! It’s hard to give specific advice without assessing you for myself. Clinically, I find that glut activation issues and things like glute tightness and hip flexor tightness can often be a different expression of the same mid to lower back dysfunction. Most people pairing up gluteal strength exercises and glutes/hip mobility exercises with lower back mobility may help them treat both their symptoms and their underlying cause.

Hope this stuff helps. I am a delivery driver. I am extremely tight in my mid back and legs. I have started to do knees over toes workouts along with my strength training but always looking for other things that will help. Thanks

You’re welcome! It’s hard to give specific advice, but having a hunt around the area with a tennis ball/lacrosse ball may help find and release things generallly

Danke!

Very much appreciated mate 👍

man that second stretch i cant even get my leg up because my quads refuse. i can do it while holding the leg with the hand instead of trying to press against a wall. the foamroll stuff was pretty amazing btw.

Keep working at a level that feels safe and comfortable to you mate! The body usually just adapts to what you politely ask it to do! Glad to hear it may be helpful!

@@YourWellnessNerd yeah thanks for the video. As you said though, the main thing to fix is the amount of sitting.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Not an exaggeration. I seriously thought I was going to to have to see a doctor. The pain in my leg and tightness in my Achilles was unreal! I could barely sleep. I couldn’t walk and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to help my wife moving to our new house. I could barely walk around. Foam roller exactly as you instructed. 3 days later. No pain no nothing!! CURED! Subscribing now to support you. You truly saved me here. ❤❤❤

Awesome to hear Dave, and welcome aboard! It makes me happy to hear these videos might be having a big impact on people. Well done!

your info is incredible! right now I have limited mobility when standing and walking. I cannot walk more than 30 ft because the muscles in one of my legs gets really tight (usually starting at calf then going up to hamstring and buttocks (closer to back). I cannot bend my knee to properly walk. I do not go for walks and sometimes to the market for food but when I do go food shopping, by the time I am in line to pay, I am in so much pain on the one side. I then can hardly walk to car. I then have to pull my leg up to help to it get into the SUV. No one knows why. My lumbar back is minor DDD and no surgery needed. Seen many spine and hip doctors and PT for back and no help. I just get worse. My leg is achy alot. I do notice in pool, when I march then the whole hip/pelvic area feels really tight so I am thinking maybe that cause be why I have this problem walking/standing? is this psoas symtoms that I have. you video on tight calfs was an answer. Found that recently.

Good luck with your recovery Karen! If someone came to see me with that presentation, I’d be very interested in the function of their lower back as a starting point. It’s great when nothing major comes up on a scan which can mean things are still stiff, tight, weaker from the base of tat rib cage area down. It’s always important to make sure those hips are mobile in all directions and to analyse the postures and shapes you put that tissue in the most throughout the day. At the end of the day there has to be a reason for everything, especially if it’s specifically on one side and not the other! Hope you can find someone who connects those dots for you!
