You saved my track season 100% i had no idea how to target it that good if at all

Matt, how can it be that I watch ALL Upright Health videos and yet I don't put them all into practice. Depression sucks. But I made a vow today. I want to someday, whether it's six months from now, more or even less. I want to travel and have some coaching done by you and the dudes. And I won't rest until I get to shake your hand and thank you personally for this hugely important, life changing endeavor that you guys' channel is, here on the YToobs. Keep your kind, peaceful disposition and energy. I fkn love Upright Health! OH CRAP, I also wanted to congratulate you on becoming a dad a lil while ago. You're awesome so that kid will probably grow up to be a nobel laureate or something great like that. Congrats to you and your significant other!

This was awesome advice, thank you!

Love your content!!!! Thank you!!!!

This stretch feels so good, thank you

Thank you so much for this video! I’m a soccer player and my medial hamstring strain was one of my secondary injuries after coming back from ACL surgery. It was so frustrating! I felt like I couldn’t reach it, but I feel like I have much better control now.

Matt Tsu, you give me great stuff all the time. Thank you, mountains of gratitude mate.

Finally I found an amazing video for me. Thank you so much

Very helpful information to hold the stretch longer. That released the adductor nicely.🚴

I love your videos started watching them and straight away I'm feeling a way better differences in body way better then my usual way of doing things

Great stretch, helped me out. Excellent page as well.

OMG, this is the stretch that has helped me the most. I've been suffering from Pes Anserine Tendinopathy for the past 15 months, which I have just figured is tight medial hamstrings. Thank you.

Hi Peter, I’m in the early stages of what I think might be PES. I’ve had tight inner hamstrings for a long time and I’m guessing that’s a big reason of why this happened. Was your PES onset accompanied by any swelling or pain when you first started feeling it? Seems like you’ve had it a while. Looking forward to doing this stretch myself but a little worried that the area might still be a bit too tender to try.

@@DeltaMacht I have not had any swelling, just really tender to touch. Be careful stretching, I made mine flare up worse. Check to see if you are suffering from Anterior Pelvic Tilt, this is a new discovery for me since I commented. Basically, hamstrings are being pulled constantly and are weak.

@@glenmayepete , appreciate the response, bud. Yeah, I realized stretching wasn't helping me in the past few days and am only foam rolling the hamstrings for the time being until things get better. I'll look into the pelvic tilt issue as well. Thanks for the heads up and hope you get your issues sorted out as well.

Very informative

Nice. Very smart person

You fixed my knee!!! THANK YOU SIR!

my leg locked up back words and super pain than I straightened it out, it was difficult to do so after that hard to stand up I just did this stretch and problem solved its not locking up thanks

Superrr merciii

Thanks bro you saved my life

THE FINAL KEY!

What advice can you give if there is a strain or a pull in the medial hamstring? What exercises (if any) can I do to help the recovery process? This injury has been going on for a month for me.

Hello Matt, what should I do when the hamstrings started quivering during the stretch? Is that a warning signal from the body?

@loko8045

2 жыл бұрын

No that’s just your muscles saying “I’m too weak for this, this is hard”. I know this is a year late but with consistency you will start to build the strength and the stretch/movement/exercise will get easier and you will quiver/shake/cramp less.

I'm curious. With so many stretching exercises to do, it would take a lot of time and effort to do all. Could you tell us just some 4-6 crucial exercises to cover most common stiff muscles exercises. I for one find that my internal hip rotation is weak/stiff and n have been doing and concentrating such stretching exercises to help my body be more flexible however, I'm afraid of neglecting the other parts of my body so that I don't need to struggle when it becomes stiff again.

Hey man! Love your videos! I hope you can help me with something. At 2:10 you move your leg from Internal to external rotation. I feel hip pain on the right side of the hip (huge discomfort around the greater trochanter) doing so(ExR to IR) back and forth, but I'm pain free on the left leg. How can this be fixed? If the solution is banded distraction , at what angle is it recommend to distract in this stretch?)

Hey i have the same issue in my leftleg/hip. When i rotate the leg hile on that position i feel a lot of pain

My right hamstring is tighter than my left. If I do a simple body weight squat I feel it in this right hamstring. I figure if I lengthen it it might remedy the problem. Most of the time I will do a unilateral sitting hamstring stretch or unilateral supine hamstring stretch with a strap yet I can not seem to make it as flexible as the left. Any suggestions? Should I try a different form of stretching? The seated stretch I do as a passive stretch while I incorporate contract/relax with the supine stretch.

I've had spinal fusion surgery 7 monthes ago. I'm 66 years old, are there any adjustments I should be doing. I've always been flexible but this has been the toughest recovery I've ever had.. I've picked up some pounds during this whole process. I walk 2 milwa per day. Thank you!!

Ever since I've been trying to sit on chairs with firmer surfaces and use my sit bones and keep knees at 90 degrees, I get my calves/hamstrings getting like pressure/going a bit numb?? Or getting tight, I don't know how to describe it. Any help I would appreciate it. thanks

Man that hurts, but I really needed that. Tks!!!

Ahhhha ... I got the adductor one down pat, I really just had to turn the foot to get the stretch into the hamstring. I didn't know I was looking for it but found it

Question, when I am doing the “Gollie stretch”, my supporting leg (with the knee on the floor) is no opening to the opposite side of the stretch And it is in a full vertical position. Any advice?

It seems like my abductor brevis is my issue based on the area I feel strain. I have issues with calf pain as well. I will uave to try this and see what happens. I saw a physio therapost for a while but it still seems to be giving me problems. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Cherish Ireland try flexing the muscles to the point of cramping to get blood in them and stretch

OH MY GOD!! I could not figure this out for the life of me. I was having significant issues with my right medial hamstring. I could weight train and it would feel better. Power walk and it would feel better. Then, it would tighten. I do static stretches at night after workouts (Right after a hot shower), but when I stretched it, it felt worse. I was stretching my medial hamstring completely WRONG. Acupuncture, Massage Therapy, everything. And the problem was that I just wasn't stretching the medial hamstring properly. Never had issues with it before until I made changes to how I train my adductors and isolate my medial hamstring. I've also not been holding my stretches long enough. When it's been a while I start at 30 sec, but over time feel more comfortable at 40-45, but even when I feel more comfortable than that I tend to stay around 40-45 secs. Now, I'm going to go back and rebuild my static stretching program from scratch. This can't be the only mistake I'm making. Thank you so much.

happening right now it is making me crazy i cant sleep at night it hurts so bad when i move around and i cant even run it is killing me

How do i strengthen so it doesn’t get stiff again

What does permanent damage feel like. When I stretch my leg I get a strain feeling and if I stretch it more I get a pinch in glute and stretching hamstrings is the only relief. Mystery.

Do you know what causes this tightness I have been stretching for years and it isn't working. What else can be done

@TheChavez1976

Try heating the area with a hot bath and then go do a lot of walking. You’ll find that after the muscle has warmed up it will loosen up and you can then stretch it. You probably have an injury or degeneration of the area and it’s stiff.

9 minutes per week per muscle is the optimised stretch time, 1 minute per muscle per day is fine too for a total of 6 minutes per week :)

question. i did some aggressive hamstring/hip flexor stretches and now i feel a sliding/pop when i walk, behind my knee, right where the semitendonosus is. There's no pain or instability, but just an annoying pop/snap feeling at the end of the range of motion when my leg extends during walking. WHat's the treatment or issue? I know i have overly tight hamstrings. Should I continue some lighter stretches to rehab this area or complete rest?

I'm a guy who had everything go wrong with his body and realized he could choose to 1) live on pain pills, 2) suffer through decades of constant pain, or 3) do a whole lot of experimenting, testing, and learning until I could do EVERYTHING physically that I wanted to do. #1 and #2 require very little work, but they're draining and dissatisfying. #3 requires a lot of work but it is hugely satisfying, gratifying, and energizing (over time). 😀
