I miss my 5k walks
Me too, so sad been on bed for a month 😢
How do you release them? Show me
If you look in the description, I link the videos to releasing those muscles. See above and you'll find them. Cheers!
What are the exercises to do to release the high hip and the low hip. The medius and the minimus? I have been suffering from terrible sciatica for over a month now and my walk start out OK and then the pain becomes almost unbearable. Thanks so much for your response.
Hey there. I moved my channel to my business and it deleted all my comments from over the years. So I want to make sure you got an answer. There's a video on a practice for right hip high and one for left hip high. I'll link in the next replied.

Do you have any videos on foot drop?
My pain is in the lower leg
Is it in the calf or outer shin? Calf pain can come from glute min, hamstrings, and soleus. I've made videos for all of those. Shin pain can come from glute min (often!) and from the peroneal muscles. Let me know if you need more guidance but you can search my channel for all of those videos
@@CatMatlock I have muscles hernia in the exterior of my lower left lower leg ,when walking I have pain. I did many test and no veins,no artery ,no nerves,now I'll have a tibfit MRA.
I also have herniated discs l4 l5 pain inside inner heal when I stand comes n goes nerves what can I do
Mins is usually top of bum left or right and I have a walking stick it gets that bad
My name is Ngozi from Nigeria. Please help me the pain is killing me. To walk is a problem. Kindly show me the exercise, please
Hi Ngozi. Please tell me where the pain is. Is it on the outside of your thigh? Buttocks? Back of the thigh? All of those? Do you have one hip that's higher than the other when you are standing? There is no one simple answer. But if you tell me where you feel it, I might be able to guide you from here.
@@CatMatlock Good evening sir, Thank you so much sir, I appreciate you so much sir. The pain is always in my thigh and Buttocks. Sir, thank you very much sir.
@@ngozichukwurah7169 It sounds to me like. a combination of psoas, iliacus, and quadratus lumborum. I would try releasing those three. And I'll do a video in a week or two about this. In the meantime, try these videos:
Iliacus: ua-cam.com/video/7TL3u_rRKCE/v-deo.htmlsi=1J_PSCtNHISi9n60
Psoas: ua-cam.com/video/7X01HRq6_qg/v-deo.htmlsi=EBTaHOL4Tx_VtKu1
Quadratus lumborum: ua-cam.com/video/0mZLY2gsI2U/v-deo.htmlsi=hmAZ-fqmA3mGyGuv
Anything for bilateral sciatica?
Hmmm... that's very unusual to have it on both sides, which makes me think it's one of two things: 1- either your pelvis is tucked under so much that both sides of the sciatic nerve are being pinched due to excessive tucking. You'd need to release belly, hamstrings, and glute max first before doing anything else. 2- it's not true sciatica but bilateral trigger points in the glute min muscles, which is often related to too much crossing of the legs and tension in the inner thighs. Release adductors of the inner thighs first, then the outer hips, glute min.
Hi ngozi my both legs are paining from back side from hips to calf while standing or walking and I can't stand more than 1 minute when I walk more the pain gets worse its happening from last 10 days due to back injury in gym but my back is OK now but legs are hurting to much while standing or walking
I have incredibly painful sciatica. I have a prolapsed disc that has been calcified. A surgeon could not cut it away as it is as hard as bone. I have tried all therapies under the sun and am losing the will to keep going. Can you offer any advice? Will the exercises in this video work for me?
Hi Zak. This specific video is probably not what you need to get better, but since I don't know your pain symptoms (sciatica has many faces!) I cannot be sure how to guide you. I want you to hear this, something I speak about in my book (a.co/d/hS3cFor) that disc issues do not necessarily need to cause pain. And once you start understanding that and believing that, your pain will lessen. And then you can start dealing with the other causes of your pain. I'm happy for you to share with me some of what you're experiencing and I can let you know if what I do can help you in a significant way, because it WILL help for sure. I'm just not certain I can help you to be pain free. But I feel hope for you.
Thank you so much for your speedy reply. I unfortunately left the issue with the disc for about 20 years. The surgeon couldn't operate on it. However, it is bulging but solid. My right hip at the front constantly feels tight, the disc issue is lower back. I have pain radiating constantly down my right leg when walking, it carries into the outside of my calf. At times my right leg is about 5 mm shorter that my left, any advice would be greatly appreciated. By the way your videos are the first ones I have come across that actually make sense and don't just say to stretch the piriformis 👍👍
Hi Zak @@zakworth6295 The best place to begin is leveling the pelvis, getting that right hip up a little and the left hip down a little. Here's a video for left hip high practice: ua-cam.com/video/YIpadOSiFoo/v-deo.htmlsi=gcNBGHfiE0-mTerh. This will start that process. However, it does not address rolling the right glute min and med, and I believe glute min is causing your pain when you walk. So do that video first, then do this one: ua-cam.com/video/it3NT7g9cp0/v-deo.htmlsi=YWSfZyLdY_6KRwuB. Let me know how that goes!
Could i ask what commonly causes sciatica? As my ex boyfriend was healthy. I'd say he overworked and overwalked esp early morning he often 'jumped' outa bed4a huge walk.....🤦♀️🤷♀️ I never understood this tho I know the dog had2b walked early as he was a staff and kids ran away from him so cos of judgement the ex wanted him walked for an hr b4 anyone else alive in the world was even awake...yawn!!
When you get sciatic, your life gets put on hold, your work life takes a pause
Yes it’s true. It consumes for a bit until you learn how to navigate. And then you can heal it. Sciatica is a process.
You don’t explain how to avoid the pain
It’s all talk show the walk
