Just sending a greeting and I hope you read it. 😊 I'm a massage therapist from Sweden, and I love your videos!! They're so helpful and inspirational! After doing 14 years of massaging I was starting to feel it in my own body, and your videos have been a great help and reminder of how much one can do at home. Now I'm better at taking the time to stretch, deep breathe and use massage balls to take care of my body so I'm able to continue helping others for hopefully many years to come. Thanks a lot! ❤😊

Sometimes it’s about the basics, sometimes you need to take a small step backwards to see the way forward!

Im a office worker, and spend ridiculous amounts of time in a chair at the desk, finding your channel has been a god send, thank you for your content, it addresses my limited range of motion problems, now i understand what is actually happening to my hips.

BECAUSE WHY?!?!?!

Grant, you showed me this exercise in Port some years ago. I have hip and back issues.I remembered how well it worked then and did it thus morning. Thank you so much. It defiinitely helps!

So how can we fix it 😅

Oh my goodness, I've had QL issues for years, and no oone has helped me address this until now. I'm so glad you showed up in my feed. Subbed.

Thank you for going into so much detail, I never imagined it could be linked to the back. The ankle stiffness makes sense, but I just didn't have the knowledge there either.

Thank you im going to give tthis a try today

This has just changed my life. Thank you so much. I can't believe how good this feels.

My tight QL thanks you... The piriformis now has a chance. Thank you for life affirming work you do.

That was genuinely insightful and helpful. Just letting you know😉 thank you for a great video and a wonderful explanation that was easy to follow along

I think spine stifness is There for some reason . it is a safety mechanisme. Touching it with foam roller and lacross ballon going to Make it stiffer and sapasming. For me I ignore glutes but focus on the spine stability gives me an automatically activated glutes maybe the spine feels it's safe and give me some added mobility

Hey Grant. Great video!! Well explained. Is there a reason you left out the banded Ankle mobility from this video which you included in your first plantar fasciitis video? Also for someone with pretty bad symptoms (4 months ongoing, hobble around, red swollen sole, first thing in the morning is death), from what you've seen in clinic, how long does it take to resolve this issue with the exercises prescribed ?

Yes i have had this going on for 5 years now. My doctor even did a Hernia surgery on my right femur in October of 2022 and i'm still in pain , stiffness, and the pain in my inner right thigh and feels like going into my groin area. A woman private area and he wanted to cut me again. I really need help. Its affecting me getting my jobs did. I have a cleaning house and a few offices business and i do the work myself. Have a Son that's Down Syndrome.

Nice legs😊

Just came across this and based on the positive comments I will be doing this each morning for the foreseeable. Not been able to run cycle or play football like I used to for 4/5 years now, 1 surgery and 2 injections deep. If anyone else has any other recommendations or helpful tips let me know. Really want to take charge of my life again.

I fell 15 years ago and landed on my left side with a toddler in my arms. No apparent injury at the time. Soreness for a few days. I was 60 at the time. Over the years, I have been told that I strained my QL. I quit PT since it made the pain SO MUCH worse for days after a session. I have found a few spine stretches that help. I am an active older adult. I do what I can do!

so for me with the couch stretch i feel it in the mid to upper quad is that normal

This issue has absolutely wrecked everything. I was training regularly, swimming. Scuba diving, working as a professional audio engineer and travelling. This issue got so bad it stopped me from working and nobody could help figure out what it was. I was rejecting so many times. They’ve MRId everything, my spine, my hip socket, my SI joint, numerous times. Nuclear CT. A pain doc sat me down this week and told me he thinks it’s muscular dysfunction. I’m not saying he’s wrong but no physio has been able to help me find anything that has helped me. I do the work. The work just hasn’t done the job over the last 7 years. It’s not like I’m expecting people to wave a magic wand but I’m out of my depth, clearly.

🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍

Was the chronic pain from lifting or stress? How are you doing now? Sorry to hear you went through this. I believe in you man look forward to more videos!

Very helpful thanks 🙏🏽

This super fascinating- never of it but I have tenderness on my right side with my left knee sore Hummm

However, I think my flexibility improved… hmmm

Huh? I did not understand this one at all - can you explain more in a series of videos? Sounds interesting but I could not not follow it….

Harder than it looks- when I gently do this feel a stiff pain in my knee - hmmmmm not sure why

This has to be one of the best front knee stretch I have ever done. Bravo!!! I use the carpeted stair so I have more support

Thank you! Great tip

I am going through each one of your exercises as I have knee pain I just can’t get rid of ! Thank you for posting these 🎉 I really appreciate them!

Giving this one a try too 🤞

Does this also apply to a partial gluteal medial tendon tear?

Sorry, I can't take you seriously in your pink ballet shirt.

Standing desk is lifechanging

Why do some people recommend heel lift inserts for this then? My orthopedist made me get one

what you say about lower back is ok. stretching the muscle using that ball is no good. it further stretches a weakened tendon that needs gradual strength exercises to recover.

Nicee

Very helpful. Thank you. how to improve the external rotation range ?

Thank you for suggestion of the knee sleeve - I also like the exercises you show in the short video. Maybe another video might be explain why you might have weak ankles that affects your knee & what routines you can add into your exercise regiment I also enjoy your videos- you are by far my favorite Physical Therapist on KZbin😊

QL muscle was my kryptonite !!! Thank you very much !!!

Try being a female who carries a bit of weight due to the reduced physical function after a fall forty five years ago...In early 20's ...years of pain...been through the mill...finally at age 65 the treatment for this condition has finally been renamed and treatments are helping. Starting on my physio journey with young physios...sorry...old ones have no idea...they didn't do any new learning since they trained in the 70's and 80's. Thankfully I never went down the path to injections. Never too late...Thank you for all you do.

Ive never seen the band on the Achilles tendon , it is genius I'ma try that out

Sir , i think you have addressed my problem with groin & adductor stiffness. Thank you v much . ❤❤❤

I'm definitely going to try this as a really believe I have that. I do know I have neck issues but it's not the same as the symptoms I've been having. I would like to ask, will the second procedure of putting it on the neck area be ok to do if I have a spinal fusion C3-C7? Thanks.

Makes so much sense looking back.

Rubbish , ive never had an injury , mine started with excessive coughing with covid , mine affects under ribcage on right side , very uncomfortable with driving, fine when im lying back in a chair , most comfortable when in bed . Leaning forward is very uncomfortable 😢

After a decade of working on internal rotation, this isn't the fix. My personal situation seems to be an environmental dysfunction, vs an internal problem. It's bad systems, processes and routines, vs a need to focus on internal rotation. Root cause diagnostics is integral to long term solutions.

Thanks!
