Thank you so much, I have a question on soleus recurring injury/tightness, also it alternates between left and right calf, mostly medial Soleus. Any advice?
@LawrencevanLingen3 күн бұрын
Firstly cool name. Secondly this can be very frustrating. Try learn to not use the calves as much, Tyre walking is great to get hips during before hamstrings and calves. Theme would be if hips don’t extend you will over use calves. Make sure you don’t lean too far forward. There is a video on running posture. Massage your calves every day with a stick to make sure there is no residual scarring or contractures in the calve muscles. Walking backward will also help get you using your whole foot and running with less tension in the calves. Strengthening and rehab are important, but probably only to the point that your calves are strong enough for you to do 2 sets of 10 single leg calf raises. Too much calf strengthening probably ends up making you use them too much. Head forward posture, stuck thoracic spine will load calves. If it’s both sides and alternating might be a neural or nerve component from Lowe back or even neck (see unwinding neural and deural tension videos). Goo luck and shout if you have more insights or need more help. Don’t take this lightly it can be a real pain in the ass.

Hi Lawerence - so grateful for your work! It inspires me to see the interconnectedness of body and mind. My question is that I have tight hamstrings plus ons and offs of back pain. Do you know if stretching is the best way to tackle the hamstrings or is pelvic work and this wonderful breathing video getting to the bottom of things. just trying to understand what is treating the symptom and what is getting to the root of things. Thank you!
@LawrencevanLingen3 күн бұрын
The best way is to first learn to use your hips and figure Out hip extension based gait. Then your hamstrings will stop compensating and will respond to gentle stretching and or massage and or foam rolling and mobilization. You are most likely pulling yourself forward with your hamstrings and your hamstrings are supporting your posture. Backward walking and resisted walking will really help. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Thank you so much for the brilliant video and your valuable work! Where I am still confused: in which area of the spine should the arching mainly take place? I have the feeling that, depending on the position, I tend to strengthen my hollow back and am therefore trying to focus on opening the thoracic spine. Is this correct?
@LawrencevanLingen6 күн бұрын
If your pelvis unwinds your hollow back will probably reduce. It’s ok for your lower back to hollow or arch more if it’s gentle, the contraction and relaxation of your lower back will make it healthier and more resilient. The thoracic spine is rounded so technically it’s not going to arch but more likely to straighten. Your belly has to expand for your diaphragm to come down. The more healthy breathing is the more likely your pelvis will work with diaphragm and unwind and your hollow back will reduce. Empower your body open, try not to fix things.

Do you find that people who are ambidextrous find this easier to do? Since we’re already used to contralateral activity?
@LawrencevanLingen7 күн бұрын
Contra literal movement is not quite the same as ambidextrous. So yes it’s competence on both aides, but contralateral replies what the one side, the other side is doing the opposite. Ambidextrous people can often be very homolateral and lack a sense of give and take. Contralateral is neurodevelopmentaly probably from crawling and crossover patterns as a baby (and of course what comes after. So possible an ambidextrous bum scooter might find this really challenging.

As a psychology Coach, we often talk about breathing. You've really simplified it for me where I am paying particular attention to softening as I breath and not forcing it. it feels much more of a relaxed approach where I'm with my breath and not against it. Some of the breathing exercises are way too complicated for me and I disengage but this approach is exactly what I needed and one that I now sign post to for my clients if they are interested. So Big thank you and to Dr Rangan Chatterjee too- who is my everyday go to for wisdom and learning.

I've just turned 40 and listed for a left total hip replacement due to spur and cam deformity and shattered cartilage. I ran internationally in my teens and 20s bit had constant left sided problems. To stabilise my SIJ and stop the hip hurting I've kept my pelvis neutral in all movements but pretty much stopped running age 28 because of the pain. 2 years ago i discovered hypopressives because my pelvic floor was overactive and causing bladder leakage. I've always had a stiff thoracic spine and lumbar lordosis/tight psoas. Hypopressives has not only sorted the bladder but the hip has been pain free for over a year and I've even managed 3miles painfree hill running. I have breath work better for me than traditional hip strengthening exercises that you mentioned. I'm a physio myself and work with Pelvic floor problems and teach breathwork to optimise pelvic floor rather than pelvic floor exercises. I have come so far but have still been considering surgery because the range of movement is now so poor despite no functional pain. Having watched your video i realise i have a long way to go with releasing the hips! I don't know how much the spur/cam now affect range and therefore affect my neck (constant right sided occipital tension) or whether its possible to gain better range of movement still. I am excited to try modifying my breathing to allow more hip movement and try your other videos/strengthening and see if surgery can be avoided. Wish I'd known all this when i was competing!

@LawrencevanLingen out of interest why back out through your nose rather than mouth?
@LawrencevanLingen11 күн бұрын
I think it’s more interesting why on earth would you breathe out through mouth if your breathing in through your nose. When we nose breathe the tongue should be a big fat support up into your palate to create the structure and framework for your palate, facial muscles and breathing apparatus above. Tongue tone is an important part of your postural tone for the rest of your body and also helps relax your jaw and face. Breathing out through your nose implies a bit of resistance that helps gently engage your outer core and gives your diaphragm a bit of resistance to maintain its tone and therefore its role as a stability muscle. Dumping air out of your mouth is a more parasympathetic activity and also tends to end up making exhales shorter and breathing more rapid and you lose the above benefits including tongue posture. You also have to think about what you’re doing, it’s certainly not natural.
