Love from India ❤❤
Do you have any advice for addressing pelvic torsion? I’m generally flexible, am comfortable in an Asian squat, but my my right hip and leg are a mess! Chiropractor brings relief but does not fix.
Love your advice, share it will my colleagues and friends, thank you for everything you do!
Pain in left hip joint when doing Asian Squat…help pls! Love your work!😊🌷
This really hit home, thank you!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I started your Back Pain Fix program because I needed some guidance in getting my ability to move without pain back. I'm 52 years old and noticed that in the last few years I've gotten stiffer and achey. When I get out of my car the first several steps I take I look like a 100 year old woman. I'm a mountain biker and I thought that was enough. Thank you for getting me back on the path of being able to move and enjoy being physical again. I already feel my balance improving and my posture is better so I'm walking taller.
Biking is an interesting one if someone stays seated most of the time. They go from an office chair to a car to a seated bike and then wonder why they feel stiff and don't have a full range of motion. Our bodies certainly love variety. They want the Konami code. Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, BA Start.
What an awesome instructor.
Logic. Gotta love it. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks!
You bet!
You videos make so much sense🌞
Good stuff, as always.
Thank you for all the information,can you do programmes on how to increase muscle tone with weights.
Good stuff, thanks 🤟
Hi, I'm a gardener and use an Asian squat all the time and for fairly long periods for doing low tasks, however I have a little APT and can't touch my toes (only the middle of my shins) using a forward fold. I've noticed that the tip of my buttocks doesn't get quite as low as some other people (lower than the ankles and nearly touching the floor) and was wondering whether it was because of my hamstrings at the back.
My question is should I think about doing exercises to lengthen the hamstrings at the back so I can get a deeper squat?
Many thanks
If your lower back concaves during the asian squat: yes
@@moart87 it doesn't, I generally keep a straight back with only a bit of rounding
@@Fenditokesdialect stiff back muscles maybe?
@@moart87 I don't know, the only way I can get my thighs to lie up against most of my shin is if I'm leaning far back, too far for an Asian squat.
If you want to go lower it can't hurt to try and see if it works, at worst you'll get more flexible.
THANK YOU!😮
Thank you!
I had a progress by stretching hip flexord lower back muscles strengthen the abs and glutes but then i had stuck with no more progress.I started to stretching my hamstrings and i noticed a big difference immediately(2-3 days) and I searched again to see if that is a right thing to do.Obviously it is.
Does only strenghtening abs and glutes cure anterior pelvic tilt
Love your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
Thank you for your brilliance! If stretching hamstrings supine, say with a yoga strap, is it true that beyond 90 degrees the pelvis naturally needs to rotate? Or should one try to maintain neutral pelvis beyond 90 degrees of straight leg hip flexion? Thanks!
What if I want to get my splits I feel like it will never be possible with APT
I wouldn't stretch per se but I would definitely take my hamstrings to full range of motion to strengthen them. Deadlifts are the best.
Depends how tall you are. If you are short you don't have to bend much to get that bar. Come to think of it, maybe I should be using regular weights instead of the big plate deadlift weights. You've given me something to think about. I use the big plates because of my back, but maybe my hamstring flexibility is also hampering me.
@@jasondashney It helps if you are taller (or moreso if your legs are long compared to your arms), but I guess there is still going to be plenty of room left for hamstring flexibility anyway when doing standard deadlifts. Using narrower plates will definitely make a difference - and is exactly what I do when performing deadlifts. Even better is if you had a deadlift machine where the handlebars go the floor, so you don't have to worry about the plates.
But I mean, if you wanted to exercise with the most range of motion with your hamstrings while doing deadlifts, you would need to have the bar so far below your feet that your head is in between your thighs under your crotch. You could theoretically do something like this by standing on a platform and having the bar on the floor, but most people wouldn't have the flexibility to actually achieve it and it would be super awkward. Otherwise, you could do cable pull throughs for maximum stretch.
But like you said, the lower you go the more stress we place on the back. At a certain point, you can't go any lower because it would cause rounding of the spine and become very dangerous, at least with heavy weights.
And then you have to consider the fact that the hamstrings are actually a group of mostly bi-articulate muscles. So you would need to do what I call a "skateboard kickback" to get completely full range of motion out of them. But it's kind of impossible to do such a movement with weights or even cable machine. If you attach the cable to your ankle in front of you with leg stretched out, you would have to not only swing down but then also flex at the knee so that your heel kicks your butt. But like I said - that's impossible. So you are gonna have to train both the knee flexion aspect and the hip extension aspect of the hamstrings separately.
As such, I would recommend deadlifts for hip extension, kneeling cable pull throughs for hip extension while in a flexed knee position (this will target more of the glutes though due to hamstrings having less leverage), seated hamstring curls for the stretched part of knee flexion, but then do lying hamstring curls to teach your hamstrings how to squeeze without cramping (cramping, due to active insufficiency).
You can think about ways to exercise like this with other bi-articulate muscles like the biceps and triceps and wrist extensors and flexors too. Just consider how leaning forwards or backwards and positioning elbows either behind or in front of the body affects the biceps during a bicep curl.
What if I just have a fat ass?
check the spine n pelvis bones for a better assessment
I love your videos. Do you have ideas of ways to get your heart rate up if most common aerobic exercises cause hip/groin/thigh pain after. I have been working with your program and I have better days now, but still feel like I should do aerobic exercise. Thank you
Wow… you read my mind. I was just thinking about my hamstrings. Thank you.
Thanking you from the UK so much for your wondrous knowledge and how you communicate it! Am 56 years old - so appreciate learning about keeping my body moving as an ex- dancer…haven’t found anyone on UA-cam who makes such sense. One question…have started doing the Asian squat at the end of my 30min stretch/workout every morning…how long ideally should I be aiming to sit in it for and if my left hip joint isn’t totally happy in the position do I work through it or are there specific muscles I should focus on strengthening to make it happier?!? 😊
Owe you more money
What about weak abdominal muscles? I feel that’s why I have it.
PNF release for hamstrings worked for me
I think you're wonderful, Matt.
I blame school
Thank you for sharing.
Holy moly, I have been dreaming of finding this video for so long 😭 finally my questions have been answered. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! I would have never guessed hamstring dis-functionality was something to consider when trying to find the solution to my ATP. thank you thank you!!!
Hello I was interested in buying a program to fix my hips once and for all! My question is which program should I get? I was diagnosed with hip impingement, labrum tears in hips and I have groin pain that I believe is giving me abdominal pain as well. Should I get healthy hips or FAI fix?
Thank you!
I just broke out laughing when you said “ which looks a lot like. wait is that Anterior pelvic tilt back there” at 5mins in xD helpful video keep them going.
That was great!! Please do a video on hamstring tendonitis/tendonosis.🙏🙏
what about apt on just 1 side??
Bro i was have this problem and i was think its apt ، But then I found out that I have a deviation in the knee in the right leg and I always felt imbalance in the legs and I thought that the right leg was longer than the other or heavier than the other (the right leg with the apt ) but in fact this was due to the deviation of the knee, go and check the knee of The leg with the problem (check it with x-rays) to make sure if there is a deviation or not .. sorry for my bad english
Ty sir. I had sciatica due to erector spinae unfortunately I injured my hips when lifting something heavy and rotating. I avoided stretching my hamstrings bc it was painful to reach for my toes.
