The front to back rolls using the upper body could help strengthen the muscles that would help with round shoulders, yes!

@@ElevateSportandSpine okay thanks

I’m glad you found the video informative! Thanks for watching.

Glad to hear it has been somewhat helpful! If you’re still having symptoms it’s best to be evaluated and treated by a professional in your area.

The techniques in the video definitely aren’t 100% effective. Sorry it didn’t help you touch your toes.

You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching.

That’s awesome! Thank you for letting me know. Glad you found it helpful.

This exercise can help you identify coordination issues for twisting activities. It can also help you start to work through some of the issues as well.

Yeah it’s a fairly common thing. This isn’t a way to definitively diagnose any problems, but can give us some clues.

If they look and feel good and you rotate them often they will definitely last longer! Can say there’s any reason to replace them aside from that.

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.

Im not sure that I can picture what you’re saying exactly. If it’s what I’m think it sounds like you could have a toe clawing going on possibly. Sadly anymore, getting more than 1 year out of a pair of shoes is not terribly common. They break down faster than they used to.

The ware is in the same spots, but the left shoe just looks like it was used more.

@@brandon53081 that's definitely a possibility! It could be that you pivot on that foot more as well.

You’re quite welcome! Glad you found it helpful.

There are different solutions depending on what the problem is. Getting a good assessment from a qualified professional is a good place to start!

​@@ElevateSportandSpineI mean insoles?

It’s hard to know for sure. Sorry I can’t be more specific!

When there is less tension on the tape, it allows it to wrinkle your skin more, which helps with drainage from the area underneath it.

Thank you truly for the kind feedback. I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos!

That would indicate that you tend to supinate more in the rear-foot. It could also mean that you turn your foot outward on that side as well.

Glad you found it helpful! Back pain can be funny like that. I have had other people with the opposite reaction. Thanks for watching!

You're welcome! Happy that you enjoyed it.

Unfortunately I can't really give you any specifics. It's hard to know what might be going on in your specific case, so it would be irresponsible to make recommendations without doing a proper work-up. Thanks for your understanding and for watching the videos!

So, hollowing is mostly performed by abdominal muscles, and mostly the ones on the sides. These would be transverse abdominus, and the obliques. If you are talking about arching the spine, that is mostly performed by spinal extensors. Rounding the spine is performed by spinal flexors as well as rectus abdominus.

Appreciate the feedback! Glad you liked it.

Count your blessings! Some people can’t!

@@ElevateSportandSpine I don’t even work out that much and I’m not on a diet. I just can touch my toes

I agree, that is confusing! It could come down to the difference between fore and rear-foot supination/pronation though. Foot mechanics can be fairly complicated to nail down 100% of the time. Wish I had a better answer for you.

Back pain can be sort of tricky in that way. Something that helps one case will make another worse. If you have pain with particular movements it’s a good idea to get assessed by a qualified professional so that you can be worked up appropriately.

@@ElevateSportandSpine I just feel like when I brace in general it causes lower back pain compared to when I don't brace. Could I be bracing to hard?

@@ElevateSportandSpine should I also be bracing with every exercise that I do even light exercises that don't require heavy lifting ?

It’s hard to know for sure. The movement shouldn’t be painful. It would be inappropriate for me to make any assumptions or provide guidance without taking a history and doing an exam. Apologies :/

Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you found it helpful. Hope you find shoes that work well for you!

supination is a perfectly normal thing as the foot always comes into contact with the ground on the exterior later aspect and then rotates inwards (pronates) to shock absorb before resupinating again in the last phase, at toe off. The fact you "underponate" (the inward motion is limited) may simply mean you have stiff/high arches, so you don't necessarily need stable shoes, probably just shoes with a decent amount of padding to help take the edge off the impact forces, which your foot isn't doing by pronating.

If any exercise causes pain that makes you want to stop, it’s best to listen to your body. Hard to say if it’s a disc issue or not, but it certainly seems like there could be an issue with mobility in that area, or stability in your shoulder blade. You should have someone take a look at it!

@@ElevateSportandSpine The weird thing is, that it's not always giving me problems. Maybe I do it wrong sometimes... I really have to watch my form better.

Not directly, no. If you are having any significant pain with movements like this then it is usually best to get a proper diagnosis and plan together for your specific needs.

That’s great! Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Will do! Thanks for the kind words.

That’s awesome! Glad it helped.

So good to hear! Thanks for sharing.

You got it!

You’re quite welcome! Happy you enjoyed it.

You are quite welcome! Glad you found it helpful.

For the purposes of this particular exercise, I’d say no. These sorts of drills are mostly for learning to coordinate movement, not generate power or speed. If the goal was the latter, then you’d prob be able to use the momentum approach.

At that point it’s probably a good idea to focus on hamstring specific strengthening/stretching exercises. Biggest thing is to stay consistent!

@@ElevateSportandSpine okay thanks for the advice 👍👍

@@aheis78 you bet! Best of luck.

You kind of nailed it in your comment. The stretch is really meant to hit a lot of different muscles all at once. The benefits are that it can help with blood flow to those areas, reduce pain and tightness in them, and help you identify areas that could possibly benefit from more targeted work. It is very difficult to say how long it will/should take to see improvements in range of motion with any stretching routine, but I would stay at it for at least 8-12 weeks and see if it starts to change. If it is improving, then keep going. If not, you may need to try something else. Hope that helps!

@@ElevateSportandSpine Thank you so much for your answer! I will keep at it and see if it helps

Hi! It can be tough to nail that down without being in person to work with you. You can try regressing the side plank to where you are doing it with bent knees instead of straight legs. If that is too easy, then try going back to straight legs but put the top leg either in front, or behind you to see if that changes where you feel the load. Hope that helps!

@@ElevateSportandSpine great thank you 🙏🏼

It is a good one! I will use this from time to time with people. Give them a light slap in the stomach and they figure it out, haha.

Glad you liked it! Everything gets better when you strengthen and stay consistent with training and meaningful movement. Good luck! In 10 years you'll realize how young you are now. Enjoy it.

@@ElevateSportandSpine thank you so much for replying and heart warming message!i'll take good care of myself then,promise!

@@yalda3339 my pleasure. Take care.

My pleasure! Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for the feedback.

That’s wonderful!

There are definitely some anomalies like scoliosis that will limit mobility in all kinds of ways. The best thing to do is just maintain what you have by strengthening and moving often!
