    I love all of your videos that I've done so far. I enjoy the talking because I'm thinking less about what I'm going to do when I'm done, and more about the present moment. I wish there was an alt version of this video because I do it a lot after a workout, I just have sensory issues with audio. All of your content is great and I really cannot complain. I especially love that you explain WHY we're doing each exercise and the benefits of each. I just feel that I can trust that you're not just here to "influence" like so many other videos I come across. I've shared your videos with my mom and coworkers because they're so great. Thanks Jessica!

    Eventhough this audio has a few issues, this exercice has put me back on a path to healing and gained back some flexibility. I still cannot believe it. I do the other five in this category also and others as well almost every day now. For the last 7 months, I had such pain just trying to tie my shoes or bending over. Not sure where my probllem was, either sciatica, periformis, hips, hamstrings, pelvis, buttocks, abs. Any exercices I would do would put so much pressure and pain on my buttocks and hamstrings, even trying to do ab work was excruciating on my hamstrings. As of the first time doing this exercise, it instantily relieved some pressure and gave me more flexibility to do other workouts. I cannot THANK YOU enough. So happy to have found you.

  • @johnhodgeman3980
    @johnhodgeman3980 Місяць тому

    Thank you so much! I think this is exactly what I needed to add to my repertoire. I have a bulging L5-S1 (naturally sacralized, btw) and that means L4-L5 is also affected. As such, it's been a long, long, LONG road but the dull pain on or near my SI joint doesnt appear to be the SI Joint but I think my psoas-illac is super tight and it's super tight because I already have tight hip flexors and anterior pelvic tilt. My glutes are not firing well and that is causing my all kinds of issues with tight hamstrings (Anterior pelvic tilt) and tight low back/QL muscles. Abduction is a trigger for me. In order to correct this, I need to fix the anterior pelvic tilt. I cant lay on my right side in bed. It causes a lot of pain. And I think that is because my glute medius and minus are weak, and that in itself is making my tight hip flexors including TFL and psoas, even tighter.
    I will incorporate this routine every morning and before bed, every day, and hope that it will aid in lengthening my hamstrings and loosening up my hip flexors. Thanks again.

    I've always had tight hamstrings and can't touch my toes but this helped a lot! There's a little bit of static on the audio in the middle but otherwise very helpful video!
