I'm doing these drills for past few weeks and my knee pain is gone and there is significant improvement in my external rotation and ankle mobility. Thanks
Such a great share! Just goes to show how movement patterns and training has an important place in the health field. As a trainer myself, I really do appreciate the work you do to educate others because it truly makes a difference in how my brain thinks about programming solutions for my clients, and conversations with my friends and family. This has helped me tremendously to grow and continue to learn as a coach. Thank you for what you do!
Found you originally from Instagram but your content is brilliant. Treating joint pain by working the supporting muscles seems so commonsensical but at the same time insane when "putting weight on your knee" is part of the issue lol
i want this guy to come to argentina and diagnose me so bad! i am doing a variation i found in this chanel of the single leg squat to the side and hopefully my right knee with very small pain while squating will be gone, i love the channel and the tips it gives keep the good work!
I need to try this method I’ve had knee pain for about 4 years now I ended up tearing my meniscus when I was training in wrestling and then hurt my other knee ever since then my knees haven’t been the same and it’s really restricting me from my training. Been to many physio but it never help. So frustrating as I love working out but I can’t because of my knees. It’s so hard to keep your self positive and move forward. Yasmeen
Very interesting. But all the things we here today about the non-usefulness etc of stretching, what is there to say about the culture of yoga and all the good it brought for centuries ? There must be something we are missing with traditional stretching (and yes yoga is not just stretching but I hope you follow my point/interrogation)
Yoga is moving into different stretches. The movement itself causes the adaption. If you simply stretch your hamstring, you will see little benefits. The pull on the muscle is irrelevant, your muscle doesnt care. But giving your body the inpulse to adapt to a movement that also has the muscle in a lengthened position causes way faster adaption. Thats why Yoga is way better than simple stretching. You need to do movements that have the muscle in a lengthened position. Therefore the muscle not only needs to adapt to the lengthened inpulse, it also needs to get stronger in the lengthened position. That causes super fast adaption. This is why Natural movements, the thing Ido Portal started to shout out in this world is HIGHLY beneficial. Why? Simple Answer. Thats how mother nature intended it to be. Would make no sense if we needed to stretch after hunting or gathering. Thats also the reason western countries can deep squat for hours on end and have super flexible hamstrings/hip flexors/quads. They use that movement every day, the muscles follow.
I want to add something. If you read my comment you can also understand that, if you have pain somewhere (Knee pain/Elbow pain) - Stretching will never ever fix the problem, it will fix the symptom. Because at some point the muscle that doesnt care will go back to its roots. You have to fix the cause by finding Movements that causes the muscle to adapt and let loose of your joints. (Thats what SquatU does here)
Great question. Notice that the Assisted-hip Airplane done in the video above is just an assisted version of "Half Moon Pose", or Ardha Chandrasana. Stretching is important, but overrated, IMO. When it comes to yoga as practiced by us westerners, we tend to think of this pose (and many other poses) as stretching something, but half moon pose is a very intense, muscle-activating position to hold for a whole minute with good posture. In my experience from both yoga and modern exercise, strengthening/activating weak muscles does so much more to restore balance than does stretching over-active muscles. And that is why yoga is great. It has a metaphysics about health that modernity tends to reduce to single parts unrelated to a greater whole. However, I don't suggest that yoga exercise is the one and true form of exercise. You will never dunk a basketball or juke a defender to his knees if you only practice the flows and poses in the yogic asanas. And PT can be great for focusing on chronically weak muscles or other specialized issues.
I found single leg squats to be really good and I thought It was strengthening my muscles around my knees but I think that is mainly my butt, and femoral rotation strength and and commented rotational exercises really work.
I have been noticing more and more pain as I’ve been getting older. I can’t do a one leg squat with my right leg. Knee feels like it’s going to give. Left leg no pain just need to build strength. Wait squat are easy but just body weight is tough.
I wonder if there's ever an unsuccessful story from squat uni. One case that couldn't be fixed, or at least that it couldn't be fixed as much as expected.
From doing the laying clams with a band around knees my knee pain has gone down SO much however it still hurts just to touch my knee but do not get any pain when training :( any thoughts or ideas?
Just came back from the gym FRUSTRATED that yet again I couldn't do skater squats without pain in my right knee. Watched this video when I got home ... and tried hip hinging first, making sure I was angled forward and looking down (like a Good Morning)... Just did 10 skater squats with my right leg. No pain. Thanks!!!!
Hello!! Would this help if you have knee cartilage pain. I was looking at the x ray of the person’s knee and it looked like the pain was in the knee cartilage area. I don’t think my knee cartilage pain is severe because I do a full range extension of my knee. I just can’t lift any weight on a leg extension machine.
Idk if you gona see this but have i have a question I have lower back pain during warm up, follow your squat warm up. Never any pain during the lift or the heavy lift. I watch and search so much i got no clue
I have shorter right leg (2cm due to accident) and bad right external hip rotation (due to accident). I feel pain on my left knee though next day after squatting. Any advice? thanks in advance
Yes try to keep them level. Think about just keeping your free leg locked out and only focusing on the stance leg. Just squat until the foot taps but don't try to reach your free leg.

Thank you

Blown away by how much just doing the ankle mobility exercise reduced my pain and allowed me to sit in a deeper squat.
This is this is what I was asking u bro ....thanks alot for this wonderful share
i want this guy to come to argentina and diagnose me so bad! i am doing a variation i found in this chanel of the single leg squat to the side and hopefully my right knee with very small pain while squating will be gone, i love the channel and the tips it gives keep the good work!
I started at a 4 inch box. I'm now up to a 10 inch with no pain. It took a couple weeks, but I'm happy with my progress.
I'm glad to hear you're doing well!
Always thankful. Thanks Aaron! 🙏

I would love a Squat U response to this!

@@jjhbball thank you for such a response.
Dr Aaron where are you based at? How can we make an appointment with you? Do you do online consulting?

@squatuniversity Can I ask what app you use to draw on your video’s?
is there a plan for these exercises i can follow?
f
is he me? You can see his relief in not having to deal with pain that has been nagging him for 5+ years.
From doing the laying clams with a band around knees my knee pain has gone down SO much however it still hurts just to touch my knee but do not get any pain when training :( any thoughts or ideas?
Been strengthening the glute mid and made a massive difference but when I touch my knee I still have pain when I touch the knee at the top patella
Can you do something else for ankle mobility if you don't have anything to attach a band to?
Great vid. What strength resistance band would you recommend for the ankle work?
Monster bands from rogue are good
I Need you!!!
I think i m having similar issue, is there online course for those specific workouts? 🙏
I'm having knee pain too while SQUATS.
Just came back from the gym FRUSTRATED that yet again I couldn't do skater squats without pain in my right knee.
Watched this video when I got home ... and tried hip hinging first, making sure I was angled forward and looking down (like a Good Morning)...
Just did 10 skater squats with my right leg. No pain.
Thanks!!!!
Is there an alternative to banded joint mobilization’s?
Hello!! Would this help if you have knee cartilage pain. I was looking at the x ray of the person’s knee and it looked like the pain was in the knee cartilage area. I don’t think my knee cartilage pain is severe because I do a full range extension of my knee. I just can’t lift any weight on a leg extension machine.
can you use a slant board to work on single leg squat or does it need to be a flat raised surface?
And power lift for beginners
What do you think about voodoo flossing for knee pain/crepitus?
Can a thinner band be used for ankle joint mobilization
Idk if you gona see this but have i have a question
I have lower back pain during warm up, follow your squat warm up.
Never any pain during the lift or the heavy lift.
I watch and search so much i got no clue
should you perform the touchdowns with little pain or no pain? I can do 1 plate touchdown no pain, but 2-3 plates height, i have 4/10 pain.
Simple solutions for complex problems
Does this help with patellar tendonitis ?
I have shorter right leg (2cm due to accident) and bad right external hip rotation (due to accident). I feel pain on my left knee though next day after squatting. Any advice? thanks in advance
What if I fail Faber test like guy at this clip but assisted ariplane doesn't help me?
Is this a good exercise to learn pistol squats
Sir i have shoulder pain ...please help me...
I find that with this type of single leg squat exercise my hips tend to tilt. Is it important for me to try and keep them level?
Yes try to keep them level. Think about just keeping your free leg locked out and only focusing on the stance leg. Just squat until the foot taps but don't try to reach your free leg.
Introduction to the movement diagnosis has been a relevation, also getting a lot out of rebuilding milo... Thanks
I'm goad you're finding it so helpful! Thank you for picking up a copy of the book too!!!
I have zero knee pain but can’t do a single leg squat. Who gives a crap about single leg squats.
Not you
