you have proven to me that you are one of the best guys to get clear and concise information realatred to my piriformis pain issues. thanks so much.

Yup....you are absolutely right!!!! I severely sprained those muscles in a hockey injury and all I got from professionals was do the stretches and massaging that only aggravated the situation.....only when I just stopped and did nothing and let the muscles heal for a bit did I see some improvement to at least manage some strength exercises. You are the only one who suggested this out of so many videos from other professionals. Listen to your body.....if it hurts, look for the reasons why!!!!

Is this exercise okay for someone from L4 L4 SI herniation ? :)

@HT-Physio Жыл бұрын

The answer depends on the things that aggravate and ease your problem. Check with your healthcare provider first. Hope that helps!

Some constructive suggestion here, i like your videos but over 50's have had a lot of experience & like myself have tried many modalities. It kind of feels like you are explaining to a child, eg what a foam roller is or what a sacrum is when most know &/or can see it clearly in your demonstrations. I believe you would get many more views if you tweek this. It's great to see a specialized channel & i wish you success with it ✌

@kayplayforth9007 Жыл бұрын

I disagree with you! Will's Explanations really are dissected for ALL to understand! Not Everyone knows What to do in given situations, Especially when it comes to Back and Knee Pain! The Simpler the Video, the BETTER It is For Everyone. it is Information Made For The Masses. 👏👏👏👏

@beebee1676 Жыл бұрын

@kayplayforth9007 my suggestion had nothing to to with him explaining what can be done physio therapy wise, it's the speaking to over 50's in a child like manner (something I've noticed has improved) but that's my opinion & you have yours, you like it that's fine. You obviously feel you need to defend 'Will' that's sweet but he's a grown man, I'm sure he can handle feedback from people luv.

I agree, the simpler the better@@kayplayforth9007

I disagree with you as well. Some people may not know where the sacrum is, etc.
