I'm going to try this! I have had joint dysplasia leading to SEVERE arthritis and to an early hip replacement. I found that years of limping has caused atrophy of my deep stabilizer muscles, they start to cramp if I try to even stand on one leg. I can't actually walk without a single leg stand! I'm young and using a walker 😢 and I can't wait to lose it. Here's to using your video.

My whole left leg is less stable. It goes down from my calf being less muscular, my foot pronating, up to my left glute and glute med being weaker. I have had many problems on this side already. Do you have any time lines for how long it takes to improve stability ?

@PrecisionMovementCoach 4 жыл бұрын

I'm glad that you found my material and I know that it will help you out. It's hard to say how long it will take you to improve because everyone responds differently. You should notice progress after 1-2 weeks of daily practice.

Whenever I stand on my left leg, my pelvis and belly button rotates towards the right... Can't see a real drop on the opposite side, is more of a rotation. I can't seem understand which muscle I should focus on to be able to stay straight. Can it be weak left hip abductor and tight adductors?

@PrecisionMovementCoach 4 жыл бұрын

It's definitely a combination of things. Are you able to prevent that compensation pattern at all by activating the muscles that you think are weak?

Hi Eric, I have left instability/trendelenburg gait. My question is, my ql on that side w/any type of strengthening for that left side starts hurting. Pulling on my last rib, lumbar area and sometimes sij. I think, am pretty sure my right leg is shorter, not structurally but due to either my left side instability or just general tightness on the right side. Would it still help me to do this exercise and is there away I can get the ql to calm down while doing it. It becomes so darn painful. Thank you!

@@PrecisionMovementCoach Thank you Eric. You video inspired me. I have been trying to walk, but my balance is terrible. I would like to practise my sigle leg stabding first. One of main problem is leg supporting around gluteus. I can't do one leg supprt while the other is lifted. I figured one of the purpose of this exercise is to make the gluteus work. As long as the gluteus is sore, it indicates it is stimulated. Can I reason like that?
