    This is the best hip mobilization I have ever come across. I have tried 90/90 forever, it never worked for me. I just did this on the floor for two minutes and after a few reps where the muscles in my legs had to wake up, I have my hips back to 80/90% of what they were ten years ago.
    The central nervous system is fascinating, and this is awesome.
    Thank you!

    Hey Blake just wanted to thank you a million times over for all the information you provide. I have all kinds of posture problems that has caused me my job cause I couldn't move. I went to see many chiropractor but they very expensive, its like they just want me to keep coming back and because I lost my job, I just could not afford it anymore. the NHS here in UK wouldn't help either. so I turned to youtube and found you, started watching your videos in July and now I am well and fit 100%. its like a miracle. couldn't believe you are giving this information free when the stupid chiroprators are charging £50 for each visit. God bless you and your entire family my friend.

      The same story my friend(Greece).. The chiropractors and PTs and of course the doctors don't really want to help you get rid of your problem.. All about the money.. I had chronic back pain(really bad) and hip stiffnes and also pain.. Through our friend's videos and some others I am really better now!!! So thank you too Guerrillazen 🙏

    I already left a comment, but I want to say I’ve been doing this for just a week and have noticed a huge difference in how I feel when I walk now. I’m out for a walk right now and my hips feel like they are stretching as I walk and it feels like a nice massage lol. I’ve noticed it at work, but now that I’m actually walking a good distance it’s really noticeable. I used to have a pinch in my hip that’s gone now. Thank you for this ❤

    This is an excellent stretch and strengthening exercise for ice-hockey goalies.
    I am a goalie and even though I am very flexible in the splits my hips would not turn out more than 30° or so and this exercise has helped in opening my hips up and increasing my kick save spread when in the down butterfly position.
    Thanks and subscribed.

Thanks for the awesome information and quality.I would like to ask you a question.You demonstrate the exercise with the triggerpoint foam roller ''the grid'' and i want to buy one,but i don't know if i should buy that or the grid X which is 2 times firmer.I am new to foam rolling but i lift 2 years now so i suppose that the firmer the better.What's your advise?

      @wm105 5 років тому

      Why is it important to dorsiflex? Because there are no muscles that run over the knee and act as a dorsiflexor as well? The only biarticular muscle on the lower leg is the gastrocnemius right? Are you doing it to create some tension on these?

    Another great video ,man. I got here from a Gait Guys video related to single foot external rotation due to internal rotation issues of the femur. I have been trying to increase my running, but for the past year or so I have hit a hard plateau due to reoccurring injuries. I checked my right leg(the side that has been having all the issues) and it is basically sticking straight up on the internal rotation test. Good place to start fixing. Thank you for the exercises!

    I could barely move my legs at all. That explains a lot 😂
    I noticed it’s difficult to do this without knee pain on my left side, but it helped to just really pull my toes up and only move my leg down a tiny bit. After that I let it hang there as I breathed and it continued to drop on its own. Pretty cool to see that happen lol. Felt a lot better that way

  • @Solidus2845
    @Solidus2845 5 років тому +1

    This is unreal! When I watch people just damn near turn their femur 45 degrees outward like that, it seems inhuman to me. I have ZERO internal rotation capability; My legs naturally hang at about 20 degrees external rotation when seated, and I can barely get into that seated position on the floor with my feet at shoulder width. It feels completely solid, impossible to go further in that direction. It's like my hips simply aren't positioned right at all.
    I discovered all of this after a trip to a fantastic physician in Durango due to 3 years of lower back pain and clicking. I discovered how my hips simply do not move, which has put years of wear and tear on my lower spine.
    Since then, I have discovered Foundation Training, which has saved my life. The newly found strength I have in my lower back, and the lengthening of my hamstrings and ankle flexibility has pretty much eliminated the pain, but my hips still do not move. I truly don't believe this can be improved, as much as I find videos like yours. I would give anything to work in person with someone like you to see if this can be corrected. I will try these out in tandem with Foundation Training, though!

  • @davidwagner5775
    @davidwagner5775 4 роки тому

    Welp... looks like I've got about 15 degrees of internal rotation on my right hip! This has actually been hurting me when cycling, because the hunkered down position of road biking requires more than that, probably at least 25 degrees. My lack of right leg internal rotation has been transferring the extra few degrees of rotation into my right knee, which causes inflammation after high mileage rides. I'm definitely gonna start doing this every day. Thanks for the info!

      Kristina T. Have you figured at why? I’m going through the same situation
