Bruh… I’ve been struggling for a year with glute pain. I’m doing the right exercises and stretches but never addressed my QL. You just made it make sense.
Depends on the person, but the minimum dose is just enough to fell you’re having an impact. It can be once a day for sure with the idea that it won’t need to be as often as things improve!
Felt a difference but will keep repeating to be sure…..back was definitely tight unbeknownst to me 😮 I tried single leg bridge too as well as the sidelying as that was what I was noticing more of a difference in my glutes. Thanks so much
I coincidentally found these spots earlier today while doing some tissue work. I had not seen your video until now and how it could relate to the glutes so I will definitely try this tomorrow!
It can be a part of the equation for sure. It never hurts to be stronger but it’s important to go looking for any specific restrictions to prompt the body to adapt down the direction you’re after.
Great video! I found this via your gluteal tendonitis video. I've had persistant glute disfunction for a few years now, along with chronically tight hip flexors and an overactive tfl. I'm also really lardotic, more so I believe in movements like walking. Multiple therapists have commented on my back stiffness and weakness. Really interested to see how your rechnique might address some of these onging issues. Thanks from Scotland!
Just for your interest. I’ve also had osteitis pubis and watching your video on that I was intrigued to hear you attribute that to same back dysfunction!
Hello exercises for my glutes I am afraid to do them with 2 hip prosthesis , whatever I did the exercises for baker cyste, my knee now is the major problem although I was stif , the discomfort last night was truly less And I could sleep again - so 🙏🙏🙏😀
as we move from side to side when we move our hand, do we have to maintain the position for 2 min on the stiffer side or should the position be neutral?
Amazing! It targeted my exact issue, just behind the rib cage ending is a point on the right of my spine that doesn’t let me breathe. And my right glute is deactivated rather thank weak is what I have always felt while working out. Thank you so so much🙏🏼
It’s a nuanced question for most people. In theory if someone can find and fix the back related dysfunction, and then correct the postures and shapes that create that back related dysfunction then it’s great start!
Hey Stephanie! It's inherently safe to use an object like a roller on the spine as the tissue itself isn't fragile. Obviously if you have any concerns it's important to speak to someone to make sure it's appropriate for you to do so that you feel like any concerns can be addressed - especially if someone in general has any bone density challenges overall.
The goal is for the foam roller to quickly release any spinal restrictions which can then improve glute function. In order to stop those areas from re-stiffening we need to figure out which postures and shapes (often sitting related) ask those areas to stiffen in the first place!
This hursts my back (thats how tight it is) but relief is noticeable when i stand up and move around. Should i just krep chipping away at iy slowly over time to release the tension? Mine is in my right hip. Also noticed slight pain in right foot which incidentally I have plantar fasciitis in.
Same concept! It’s always worth trying to improve that area of the back to see what impact it may be having. If glutes have been weak for long enough they may still need strengthening to reclaim normal function. It’s also worth mobilising the weakness to see if it’s tight and the hip joint underneath to see if that’s also causing some mechanical weakness
In theory it could be, but a scan of a persons back would confirm or deny that straight away. The other potentially more important question is whether it has to cause someone me symptoms. If a persons posture is good enough, they’re strong enough through their trunk and hips, and have mobile back joints and hips, then there’s a world where those symptoms are minimalist or optimised!
I think I just unblocked a chakra

Awesome Eric! Hope it all helps!
Thank you so much, you helped me. God bless you❤
Glad it may have helped!
Good job 👍 Makes more sense than most physios
Thanks mate, hope its helpful!
Thank you. I like the exercises you are sharing in your channel a lot.
Appreciate it Serge! Hope they're helpful!
Interesting!
How often should we use the foam roller for this purpose? Every day?Thanks.
Depends on the person, but the minimum dose is just enough to fell you’re having an impact. It can be once a day for sure with the idea that it won’t need to be as often as things improve!
Fabulous video and info, thanks so muchxx
Hope it helps!!
This was insanely helpful. Thank you so so much
Awesome to hear Katelyn!
I had no idea! This makes so much sense!!!
Hope it helps, mate!

Great to hear! Hope it helps long term!
thanks! I have chronic hip bursitis and found some of your videos. giving them a shot
Great! Let me know how you go! Good luck!
Wow thank you I couldn’t tell what was causing my hip tightness. Turns out it was my back. Hopefully this will help me get back to my running.
Hope it does too, Sally! Let me know how you get on with things!
I coincidentally found these spots earlier today while doing some tissue work. I had not seen your video until now and how it could relate to the glutes so I will definitely try this tomorrow!
Hope the vid helps make things a bit better!
excellent content, thank you!!
Glad it resonated!
Is strengthening the lower back the key to opening it?
It can be a part of the equation for sure. It never hurts to be stronger but it’s important to go looking for any specific restrictions to prompt the body to adapt down the direction you’re after.

Could tight QL’s cause glutes from not firing? If so, what’s the fix?
Often the cause of both is deeper spinal joint dysfunction. Hope you’ve found some progress!
as we move from side to side when we move our hand, do we have to maintain the position for 2 min on the stiffer side or should the position be neutral?
You want to spend time with pressure on the specific spots that feel the most restricted to you!
@@YourWellnessNerd thank you, got it
did that, notice a slight increase in ROM but along with that I think I unlocked some pain points around my collar muscles.

Is this a long term fix?
It’s a nuanced question for most people. In theory if someone can find and fix the back related dysfunction, and then correct the postures and shapes that create that back related dysfunction then it’s great start!
I was under the impression that we should not put a foam roller on our spine. Could you be more specific about where it goes on your back? Thank you

will using the foam roller over time help you activate the muscle without using a foam roller?
The goal is for the foam roller to quickly release any spinal restrictions which can then improve glute function. In order to stop those areas from re-stiffening we need to figure out which postures and shapes (often sitting related) ask those areas to stiffen in the first place!

For most people respectfully chipping away can make some great inroads over time!
Can both glutes be deactivated? What then?
Same concept! It’s always worth trying to improve that area of the back to see what impact it may be having. If glutes have been weak for long enough they may still need strengthening to reclaim normal function. It’s also worth mobilising the weakness to see if it’s tight and the hip joint underneath to see if that’s also causing some mechanical weakness
I get a pinch at the top of the side leg raise :(
I had a back op 16 years ago and I think it’s now bone on bone.bis that possible
