You are the best. I'm going to purchase the recommended wedges and start the Beginner Body Restoration program as a birthday gift to myself. It's time to stop making excuses and staying in pain. Thanks ❤😅

Your chanel is so underrated. Great, helpful information and nothing else. Thank you!!

2:20 forefoot stability + 1st metatarsal head drop = counterpoint for the glute max 🙌🏻 (Stating it to reinforce it in my brain) Also I want to thank you for the noticeably slower knowledge sharing in this video- it’s a lot easier for me to follow along in my understanding of what you’re saying!🙏🏻

Amazing concept with great visual illustration! Thank you!

AiM was one of the best CEUs I’ve ever taken. Gary is such a good guy.

Fantastic! I've been experimenting with various shoe inserts diced up into different patterns, but these wedges look perfect for my training. Thank you so much!

This is what finally released my right psoas and restored lost mobility. Thank you for these videos, you are doing great things. 👍

So sick!!! You nailed it again!

Good video! I found it very interesting as a dance teacher for almost 20 years now. This is how I have taught my students to connect with their body and generate movement! It would be great to talk with you and bounce ideas off from the different disciplines 🙌

Dude. This timing is surreal. I figured out through your videos that my feet were causing me years of tension, immobility, pain, and anxiety. Literally overnight, I was more flexible, able to breathe better, able to access certain muscle groups and just feel NORMAL. I still have some things to work on but it's unbelievable to me that I feel this good this fast. Thank you. JH

This is exactly what I needed!!

This plus the case of the footballer in combenation are all i needed to understand how to shift properly. Amazing staff

I’m going to get these and give this a try. Thank you!

Great explanations made easily understood and in such pleasant accent :) Thank you

you may have changed my life with this video!

hey conor, could you do a video on generic self diagnosis tips? knowing what exercises to do fix a certain problem is all well and good, but sometimes it's hard to tell if you actually have bad posture or if your body is just supposed to look like that

Very clear explanation

I bought the wedges around 4-5 months ago and it has been a very valuable tool in healing my knee. after a short time my foot was able to pronate better, and the tibia can now rotate inwards enough. beforehand my femor would internally rotate but my tibia would be stuck and twist outwards, destroying my knee. the other thing i did is put a very flexible arch support which allows my foot to change shape in just my work shoes, and wore some Brooks shoes recommended by PRI for running when i was ready for that. this is because i have high arches and i could not sense the ground enough to pronate, especially not in barefoot shoes which is what i was wearing to work. the advice of this channel is so on the money.

Exactly my situation & severe anterior pelvic tilt

thank you for everything

Are there any resources for additional reading? Love your stuff btw! Keep it up

5:40. Look at that arch in his foot! I'm so jealous!

I tried this, without the wedges. My right psoas is tight! Goodness!

I was waiting for you to show and explain pronation and the other term you used. The little skeleton thing was working to really help the viewer understand what was happening. It was a bummer because I have tight psoas muscles.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I just released my right psoas which is holds me back constantly.

Hello Conor! Thank you for all the magic you post regarding Psoas issues. You have literally saved me from +4 years of pain and struggle. This simple exercise has changed the way I approach my gait on the road to recovery. I had to laugh when I saw the door stoppers. I moved to a remote rural area and the only thing I had that I could improvise with was tree felling wedges!! They are heavy, but they work!!

Thank you Connor. I have been following you for a long time. I can do this when I do the exercise but when I walk I land further back on my left heel than my right heel. So on my left I collapse instead of pronate. Whereas on the right pronation is no problem. I guess that is a hip thing, but I can’t work I out. Which make it feels like the left hip is always more forward than the right. It is also easier for me to put weight in my right hip.

Can you make suggestions on proper footwear for walking? That would be so helpful.

Super good content! Thank you very much! P.S. Cloud you please wear lighter pants when showing legs movements? Black pants are kind of hard for me to read the movements. Thanks!

This is actually a unique perspective ive always overlooked. Im curious though: whats the purpose of those ledges? To push the sides and thus flatten the foot?

Left foot pronation limitation. Makes sooo much sense

What an amazing vídeo. I practice lift work out for quite a while, with a personal trainer. I have a hard time developing the thighs and glute muscles... the arch of my feet are both very high... could this be the reason...? Also feel my psoas weak... Thank you in advance

Thanks for enlightening us. My foot have a deep arch which limit my foot pronation > inhibit my glutes > my calves compensate as my foot is always supinated so I end up with big calves, weak glutes, tight hip flexors etc Do you do online session? I would pay for a 30 mins video call

Thank you for this video, Conor. I bought your Beginner Body Restoration program but I’m having trouble completing the recommended frequency and getting enough sessions in a week. I recently restarted the program after falling off the wagon and the morning after the first day my glutes and especially glute meds were so tight, especially on the left side that if I bent sideways to the right or forward to the right at all, I would get terrible spasms from that left sided area. And I stayed tight for about two days after and now going forward I’m a little bit concerned about that happening again. Any thoughts?

Is this also a good exercise for people with flat feet, Conor? Say plantar fasciitis?? 🦶🏼

Can you make a video on how to fix a lower left shoulder with the pelvis turned to the right?

Thanks. A lot of stiffness in the right ankle following a serious sprain. Consequence: an imbalance and the left part of my psoas is very stiff.

What are your thoughts on the Blackboard foot training device?

I’m guna have to get some wedges because I’ve wrecked my ankles over seas and my ankles are generally stiff in the morning

So much good info Conor. But why are you wearing shoes that don't allow for proper foot mechanics?

What's your thoughts on The Blackboard device, for foot pronatio

Can you share how a foot with hallux valgus affects walking as well? I have hallux valgus, and walking is quite painful to me, especially if it's for a long period of time...

Thanks! Where can I find the Alternative Exercise? 9:26

thank you! youre a miracle!

Thank you very much. I hope to translate it into Arabic ❤❤

Is flat foot and anterior pelvic tilt related?

wow. going into that back foot pushing off position and holding it really triggers something in my low back with right foot forward O_o

Thanks Just confirming that I have lack of poronetion

Thanks for this, Conor. I recently bought your beginner body, lower limb, and shoulder health programs. I've been trying and been getting over whelmed by managing a timely and optimal order of drills, do you have any recommendations? Is trying to do all of these programs at once even optimal? Thanks 😊

Can you tell me what your credentials are? I can't find them listed on this channel.

What would you say about wearing barefoot shoes for allowing proper pronation?

00:35 the psoas attaches on the lumbar spine and also here on the femur so we understand it is a hip flexor muscle; it does this to the hip, therefore it is stretched when it is in a hip extended position like that. NOW HERE'S THE KEY: your PSOAS CAN ONLY BE STRETCHED so much as you can GET INTO A HIP EXTENDED POSITION and your foot could be preventing you from getting into that position. 01:01 when we strike the ground and we are in early stance, we are relatively in more of a higher arched position of the foot, but as we move into more of a midstance position the arch is going to lower closer to the ground and we're going to get what we call pronation of the foot. THIS PRONATION OF THE FOOT is very very important TO ALLOW US TO MOVE INTO A HEP EXTENDED POSITION, so that way we can then transition into to push off. 03:57 So to recap, pronation is really important for two key reasons: the first is that it helps us yield into the floor because we're loading our body weight onto that side and it cues the glute to work TO CREATE HIP EXTENSION and then get that STRETCH ON THE PSOAS.

So, inserts for flat footed folks is essential?

So i watched another of your videos , about engaging the big toe joint to effect the gluteus medius. Yesterday i was walking a lot and doing that with walking and that seemed like the right approach. So i am not convinced about what you are showing here, or rather , i would respectfully ask, can you make it simpler , how should i walk , like okay i need to engage my big toe to strengthen the gluteus medius and that effects the SI, the trochanter, the IT band,, but here in this video i am confused. Can't i just learn to walk so it strengths and stretches the Psoas , , and basically all the hip muscles , ligaments , tendons, ? and walking stairs and walking?

What about strengthening the psoas?? I’ve heard that we shouldn’t stretch it and that it makes it worse, I don’t know what to do I’ve been trying to strengthen both of my psoas but now this video tells me to stretch it

What does the right hand supination do at 7:45?

What if your femur is going inward and your lowerleg goes outward? This excersise looks very good. Does it help me?

Thank you for another very well explained workout! Please help me with the purchase of Beginner body restoration, I try to buy it through Paypal, and it always shows up an error text that says "please correct the error", can it be because I live in Europe, and my account uses Euro and not US Dollar? Thank you!❤

Hey guys,really Appreciate You Work , Professional Curious how do You FEEL about Tracy Anderson Work Out I like :1)she is not talking 2 she put Cool music 3 ) do not like fast workout Without Emphasis on Diaphragm BREATHING This is Imperative !!!!!⛲️🙏

Hey I have a question, my left leg sits neutral but my right leg is very externally rotated and is causing pain and I can’t find any fix to it, is there any way you could help

no supa nation because I wear an AFO. So what or how do I a achieve Psoas freedom?

Link to the wedges please!

I have a flat knee, and this situation is grabbing my adductor muscle and my hip down, i tried to stretch my hip, but couldn't, coz i always feel my glutes far from my hip, i don't know how to explain it, hope you can help me 😢

I have stiff thighs, glutes and groin all of which cause tremendous pain and inability to stand resulting in moving inch by inch with the aid of a walker. Can you recommend how to learn to walk when it is impossible to lift legs when trying to stride, kind regards

This is too complex. Is there a simpler eay to identify if you have this problem? My first thought is to walk with wet feet on some concrete and check the footprint. Would that work? As is, I don't know how to get anything from this video except the idea that tight feet can mess up the psoas and that a physical therapist would know stuff to help, I already knew all that. I can feel how stride isn't high quality when my feet are tight, that's why I clicked, but I don't know how to gain anything from those wedges.

How about for those who are barefoot runners?

I’ve had flat feet my whole life. Really bad hereditary case... a podiatrist once told me I was the “upper limit” 😬 My ankles collapse inward and my knees rotate inward. It didn’t bother me until my late 20s when my hips started hurting. Turns out I have FAI and torn labrums in both hips, and chronic nerve pain in my bum because of low back compression (probably from psoas issues?). The orthopedic surgeon I consulted (one of the top orthos in Minneapolis) refuses to consider flat feet as a root cause but it seems so obvious to me. What do you know about flat feet and FAI, and can really bad cases of flat feet be addressed in a meaningful way with physical therapy? Would your program help me?

What can I use inside my sneakers when I walk? When I land on the ground I don’t land flat footed. My foot rolls in. Not my ankle just my foot. So I’m essentially walking on the inside side of my foot

Help ❗ I have a left foot drop. I wear a pharmacy store bought brace. Both my feet turn inward since starting to walk stage. I am pigeon toed.

Where do I find the wedges?

Do you offer telehealth services? Even a consultation? I have quite a bit of going on and I've seen many of your videos and sometimes it's like I dont know where to start and is this right for me and my situation? I have been evaluated recently and they are supposedly working on a custom PT program based on my examination but I'd gladly pay for services for consultation to basically say, yeah, with your situation, dont follow my video, do this other video instead, kind of thing.

Conner, what’s going on wiTH YOUR AUDIO? Also, great video!

I am a toe walker. That is why I am so tight,

Shipping is almost as much as the wedges🤦‍♀️

Walking on sand?

Welcome to world of foot orthoses. Dont mess with the wedges, go see a Podiatrist and get a custom made insole!

This is way too impractical.

Beyond unhelpful you make everything over complicated.

Your videos are too long. You're losing people in the blah-blah-blah. Why not make quicker vids that just say, "If you have this, try this!" so people can investigate for themselves?

What a shame you appear to be reading from a text book. Perhaps if you make another video you will bear in mind that you are speaking to Joe Public and not a conference for medical students. Speaking in English rather than Latin would be a good starting point.

or you get rolfed and fix your body in 20 session
