This is great! My right knee hurts (patellar joint and behind the patella), and after trying this I noticed that I have no real control of that side's VMO. I can make it fire up like nothing though on the left side, though. So I'm thinking I have an imbalance that I need to correct. Thank you!

Interesting. My whole knee hurts and aches, but doing that last exercise made it clear that I have a lateral tear.

A question is some exercises may aggrevate the SI joint issues that I have, especially the ones with one leg standing, because the pressure on the two SI joints is inreasing and unbalanced?

I like your helpful advice but sometimes I need a simplified terms of the parts of the body being a layman.. thanks.

My problem is the opposite

I don't know if I could do the first exercise. I'm not able to get into this position with the groin pain I have or move my problem leg the way you demonstrate. So what now?

Believe hip osteoarthritis, led to tight groin tendon and lateral knee pain- late 70’s active female. Need help not wanting surgery! Great program …

I have torn maniscus , What should I do if Surgery is not helpful ?Please advise

Sigh. I don't know what have, I can do both tests without pain but once i start running the pain starts to return and I wouldn't be able to run a 5k without straining it fully again. It's not painful all the time but it is a faint nuisance, like a 0.5 out of 10 pain in every day life that can flair up with extensive exercise that I'm aware of everyday

Can you do a video on what to do for your lower back pain (muscle soreness) from coming back?

The only ones thinking about hip-flexor’s are Stiff-fixing guru’s, like you🥰

Wrist had 2 cracks, fracture. I couldn't bend my left wrist and my forearm was in great pain due to a hit and run motorbike accident 31/12/2023. Now i can bend my wrist but i am concerned about the bone on the left wrist is not the same as the right wrist. Can i do this exercise or theres other exercises i can do?

Thank you so much. My pain is caused by reaching while playing piano and also lifting the right arm to play guitar. In all my practicing it took a long time to realize how my injury was being aggravated.

These exercises/ stretches (each better than the next!) were absolutely amazing in relieving the tension in the middle back!

I haven't tried it yet or even finished the video but it makes me literally tear up to be able to find content like this. I struggle to keep up with doctors, and I need things explained to me in detail. Thank goodness for the positives of this modern age and thank goodness for you!

This is the best Medicine yet for what seemed unstable and painful low back/hips. Thank you

Great video thanks 😊

This was great, thanks so much!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Love this format as it keeps me focused and I don't rush to get through the exercises like when I'm on my own. Your detailed instruction is great!!!

❤

MY RMT didn't tell me to stretch after a session which included psoas release. Great info.

Felt soooo much better after only this first instructional lesson! Thank you!

Thank you for this information! Especially, the section addressing the T-band and icing steps to take before pre-strengthening. The past two nights have been impossible to sleep so I found myself up at all hours searching the internet. Found yours and immediately went to the freezer and got some ice packs!

I start to cramp in my hip when I lift my knee for the standing slumpy psoas stretch. Do I just need to keep doing it (gently)?

So plsed I found you!

Great material, thank you so much!

Thank you

Can I do this every day?

The visual of the different muscles and their attachments was AWESOME! When I did the first exercise (ASMR: Lumbar Extensors) I felt a tight sensation in the left side of my hip where I have chronic pain...wow! Could tight QL be contributing to that pain and muscle tightness/atrophy?? It's been diagnosed as a hip impingement (nothing from xrays show issues structurally and haven't done an MRI to see about a labrum tear). But I notice when I can relax muscles in my hip, the pain decreases and ROM increases. I'm finishing up with the Shoulder Program and plan on doing the hip program next

Love the science. Thank you

Those look really hard when you already havr a vry painful knee :(

Thank you 🙏 I have some shoulder problems I will try these 👍

can it be both tight and weak like the glut med ?

Your knowledge-sharing is a gem. I've been powerlifting for 19 years, and I have recurring gluteal tendinopathy. I've seen doctors, done PT, and researched on my own; only for the expert to be off the mark (they seem to be parroting just textbook content). In particular, the midline lunge has been a game-changer. 99% of banded lunge examples advocate for abduction of target leg. Even now, you won't find much advocacy let alone an explanation of the adduction approach. Nevertheless, since my recent recurrence of gluteal tendinopathy, I've been practicing the midline lunge -- and it has become my secret sauce. It seems to target not only the direct area of the injury -- but it also activates the surrounding tissue in a way that "feels right." Physiologically, I'm still unsure how it activates the whole lateral side so much, but it works. My deep high-bar squat is back up to almost 100%, with only minimal, residual tendinopathy symptoms. Going forward, I will keep performing this exercise as prehab and hopefully fend off any tendinopathy recurrence. I've already been doing the side-lying leg raise (but only after much previous trial and error and luckily stumbling upon another expert's recommendation), but your tip of bringing the leg further back to de-emphasize the TFL is a key learning. Thank you again. Btw, already commented on your biceps tendinitis video (another injury I'm dealing with). It's incredible that I'm finding more value in your videos than my visits with sports doctors and PTs that I've paid thousands for.

I couldn’t lift my foot at all. I need something easier to start.

Thanks! 👍👌

Thank you! I attempted all of these and they were not easy! I am going to do exactly as you say and will report back. I can't thank you enough!!!!

This is my second day of practicing. I started with the longer version. The music is very calming while doing the exercises. Your explanation is clear. I feel that this could help my romboid pain.

Hi, I'm definitely going to give this a try. I've been told I've pulled my hip flexor muscles my oblique muscle now I have pain right at the top of my pelvis I couldn't do a bridge or rock to seating position from laying on my back does this sound like I may of pulled my quadratus lumborum muscle? All pulled muscles are on the right side of my body. I am also seeing a chiropractor for a curved spine. Thanks 🙂

So much pain relieved with the rowing session! Cannot thank you enough!

may I ask you another question?

thanks

went from 7 to 5 thank you

I get piriformis aggravation from racquet sports. In the past, I could keep it limited to just a knot in the right side of my butt, but this week, it started to affect the sciatic nerve. I knew it was time to make a change. Thanks for the tips.

any advice on contracting the VMO? I am working on exercise 3, and my left leg VMO comes on fine without the other muscles, however my left leg (which Ive been told my inner thigh/VMO is the reason my patella tracks frong causing knee pain), it's like there is NO muscle contraction in my VMO. I cant engage it without also engaging the upper area of that.

When I run, I realised my right knee can raise higher than the left one because both the right TFL and the right quad is sore, (presumably my finding is correct!). This happened after I started to train a faster pace for a 5K race. I wondered if the soreness is related to the psoas issue, i.e. my left psoas is weaker than the right side so the right TFL, hip and quad around those areas are overstrained. Looking forward to your kind advice.

You explain the exercises well. As for the talking before you show the exercises, the fact that you put timestamps/chapters in the description lets people choose whether or not they want to watch that part.

Hello , I wonder if you recommend PRP injections for lateral horizantal meniscus torn ? Thanks for your kind response

That exercise at 6:30 gives a popping clicking sensation in the joint. Ok to proceed?
