I went to a physical therapist for lower back and glute pain, they showed me this stretch but did not explain it as perfectly as you. I was absolutely bypassing the intended stretch the enitre time instead of slowly working my bottom back to my heel. Can't wait to try this before my run tomorrow.

I've been watching a ton of your content, love it. I've changed the way I walk to completely fore/midfoot and it's giving me a ton of benefits. I see you're breathing through your mouth for these stretches. In my opinion you should be able to maintain any/all stretches with nasal breathing. I myself only nasal breathe to eat and speak and that practice has made me feel fantastic. Hope this helps you back in some way. Thanks for your work, appreciate you!

Thanks for watching! I concur with the nasal breathing... I am usually in the mode of talking through these exercises, So I will revert unconsciously.

Hi from India. I started watching months back your videos, and you have helped me to a great extent in improving my gait and posture. I am not using barefoot shoes yet, and walking barefoot in the countryside amidst fields is an absolute delight. The effort you put in explaining all facets of it is professionally optimal. Take a bow. I have been using the post-walk stretches you've suggested. And what are the warm-up exercises for barefoot walking you would suggest? I have watched the one on preparing arches and the one to open the glutes, and they are invaluable. And I am thinking more of a video where you could gather all required warm-up exercises before hitting the path barefoot. Thanks a ton again.

I have tight hip muscles and right ischial tuberosity bursitis which burns when I sit on it, do SLR on right side or hinge to pick up things, or walk. I have overcompensated for this with my right leg and now have left medial arch . tendinitis and left medial knee pain ! I am so tight I cannot get my leg into the position against the wall for the couch stretch. What other stretches could I try? Thank you for sharing your tremendous wealth of knowledge with us….you are so professional and calming to watch and listen to.

You videos have really helped me improve my control of my kicks! My hip used to click and pop when I was doing certain movements like front kick and I had always attributed it to bad genetics. I've trained with multiple instructors form different martial arts and none of them had a really good answer on how to fix it. Not trying to shame them, but since learning about hip mobility and the exercises on how to improve it, its really been a game changer all around! Since doing many stretches and exercises from this channel, as well as upright health, no more clicking! And my balance is better, my kicks are faster and harder, i get less winded! Not to mention any lower back pain I had from long training sessions is now pretty much gone! Long winded way to say, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world like this!

Hello, I have/ had hip flexor injuries from running and when I tried this exercise I realized how unflexibel my quads are. Could my injury be become of this? I always thought it was because of weak and tight hips

@s0me0nelse Ай бұрын

So strange, I've been doing a mobility lessons with a professional movement couch, and she love the two types couch stretch for frontal split and bridge. She say roll your pelvis forward, keep your back up, move the back and the pelvis towards the wall, don't lean on anything with your hands. I cant perform this no matter how hard I try, and I think most of the class struggles too. First the knee hurts, so I put 2 pillows below it, she says there is a way to lean near the knee and not on the knee itself, but I feel I can't master it. Second, without leaning on nothing the quads of the leg that steps forward shaking like hell, it unbearable from 30s and up. What does it mean? You didn't mentioned the quad of the supporting leg during the exercise, what should I do to overcome this? I'm working on it for 4 months with no significant improvement. It maybe getting worst. I feel I can do it only if I put my hands on bar for support, and then I can deepening the stretch

@jkeiffer Жыл бұрын

I know this stretch, but I've probably been doing the over extending you mention. Your demo of the deadlift made me wonder if kettlebell swings often have this hyperextension at the height of the swing when you squeeze your glutes. Thoughts?

@GrownandHealthy Жыл бұрын

Yes! Especially If you feel like your Low Back is disproportionately strained after.

@lyesaitsaidi7022 7 ай бұрын

But it has a short term relief. And it could be even dangerouse to do so.if you had had a injury you could be making it worse with stretching. The best thing to do is to release muscle trigger points and then strengthen the glutes and the core

when you talk about hyper extending, is this the same for kettlebell swings. stay away from any hyper extention? Pavel video about kettlebell swings shows him hyper extention, this is a mistake?

You would need to provide a reference for me to see. I wouldn't presume someones movement quality, especially if they are wearing loose clothing. I have seen a few Pavel Videos, demonstrating is hardstyle swing.. And I have never seen him hyperextend. Please post the reference.

i always squeeze my glute to get a tilt on the pelvis and increase the stretch on the quads, are yiu actually saying dont do that? or is your queue to raise the pubic bone the same thing?

@GrownandHealthy Жыл бұрын

If you have Anterior Pelvic Tilt, or a habit of collapsing your pelvis onto your Thighs, when sitting. Your Squeeze, may be bypassing the True "Stretch" of the upper Thigh/Hips. Try holding in your stomach as you raise into the position (Vertically) and see you have a different sensation than usual.

Are barefoot shoes better for long term joint and leg health?

@GrownandHealthy Жыл бұрын

Yes, but it will involve a transition of your patterns. With your center of gravity in its rightful place, you will feel less strain and a better sense of balance.

Hi again, a great video. I have a video request and a question. Do you have quadriceps and back of leg strengthening videos to strengthen walking? I also know that walking in traditional sneaker shoes is very difficult compared to barefoot. When I step in a traditional shoe, my heel constantly touches the ground (hard) on the first step. Is this normal?

@GrownandHealthy Жыл бұрын

This channel is centered around barefoot shoes and being barefoot. All information on this channel is presented through that viewpoint.
