It’s got a lot of room for your leg. You may want to measure your calf and check with the company though, just to make sure.

Yes, that would be a great way to activate those muscles. You could even gently let your shoulders extend upwards, controlling it with the lats and Teres muscles and then retract the shoulder back in. But in the end, what you need to educate the muscles to do is to learn how to keep the shoulders in their socket while reaching upwards. Your exercise is a great way to start educating those muscles.

Thank you for the kind words! Hope it helps.

Thanks for the kind comment! Hope the info serves you well.

The teres muscles are in their most outstretched position if your shoulders are lifted when digging into the water, putting a bunch of strain on them. Using the lats to keep that shoulder down in place will help. Practicing proper pull-ups, keeping the shoulders down in socket, can help with this. Also, I find my surfers have strong adductor muscles of the shoulder but are weak in exercises like over head military presses. It’s another exercise that when done correctly, keeping the shoulders down, gives a counter muscle balance to the shoulder joint and opens up the teres muscles and helped balance out the tension in those muscles.

Well now that’s an interesting one. I would have lots of questions to try and understand what’s causing that. Is it Wales she same foot? Does it only happen when you sit in bed? Is the cramp in the arch of the foot? Do you just have heel pain? If it’s always the same foot, and you’ve had a lower back herniation before, then it could be related to that. Making sure you have a pillow or something under your lower back when you’re sitting in bed, like the video suggest, may help. There are also some great wedge pillow systems you can buy on Amazon and configure in many ways that could be helpful. Here’s a link: amzn.to/3TVK3gF

You can avoid all the pillows and use one of these reading pillows sold on Amazon: amzn.to/3IhumcJ

Increases circulation. If you have swelling in your feet and lower legs it’s great for that. Also, any calf injuries or if you tend to get tight calves, it’s great for that. If you’re someone who is on their feet all day it’s a good recover device for after work. It creates a nice calf massage.

Is it good after total knee replacement??

It may not be recommended if you just had surgery but it could be helpful, depending on your circumstance. Just ch heck with your Surgen first. Lots of times after surgery the blood can pool in the ankles and this device would definitely help that.

You’d want to stretch your hips and hamstrings. Here are to videos with some great stretches for that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZnYlnmlpLtjqtUsi=JJ2aISKJqa_XjTbU. Or kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIuqZJdplruta5osi=yA8T4RtiQq23wXs5

Sorry to hear about the car seat issue. With the forward head problem in the car seat I suggest a product to try out called the Back Shield (amzn.to/41E4zEC). That’s an affiliate link that will take you to the product on Amazon. I use this at home on our office chairs as they help fix the lack of uppe body support that is missing in chairs and it could also help the forward headrest position as it should change the angle of the mid/upper back, putting your upper body more forward and reducing the push of the headrest on your head. Also, as mentioned in the video, I like to lift the back of the seat that’s under my butt and drop the front part. This is challenging with some of the bucket seats today as they are in a lean-back position but you can see if it’s possible to adjust your seat properly.

Yeah, good point. Sorry I missed that. I just have the quick cut videos of my wife using it. We still love it and use it frequently. It’s supper easy to use. Takes a minute to setup and easy to pack back up too.

That radiating pain down your arm may be caused by a nerve in your neck. If you get the pain to move up the chain and more centralized to the spine then it is at least moving in the right direction, meaning you’re helping the situation. Most likely, the fact that the current discomfort is in the muscles and less nerve related is a good sign. The area your feeling it now is in a good place because you’re working muscles you probably weren’t using before and that discomfort should subside within the next two to three weeks. If it continues to increase then you may be compressing or pinching your scapulas together too much and you need to widen your back and engage your lats more. Hope that helps!

There are two types of back support pillows I suggest that you can find on Amazon. The key is you need something that will support your lower back most importantly, and then also you neck: amzn.to/3QToTOG or amzn.to/3QDFkwW

Yes, the neck pillow or something to support your head really helps. Usually with the low back couches that are also in a slightly recline position, we end up pushing our head forward and strain the neck muscles while watching tv. A work around would be if you had your couch against a wall you could roll up a bath towel and put it behind your head, or a pillow. We always buy reclining couches for our tv watching but I know that’s not always an option.

The bigger cause of the SI pain isn’t as much the position but the over use of the right inner thigh and hip flexor muscles. At the end of the video I go over a two simple exercises to do to help prevent the SI pain. But I’d you do our entire 11 Back Repair Video Series, a couple times a week, or before/after a big drive, that will definitely help. www.zlinefitness.com/11-back-repair

Thank you for the great message! So happy you found our channel. You hat comment cracked me up because Lori is always telling me to take off my hat. Guess I’ll have to start a new trend with the next video.

It’s a hard habit to break. I had one client with sciatica who had already been going to see a PT for years but her sciatica just didn’t go away. After we got her to stop crossing her legs and she consistently did the exercises from the 11 Back Repair Video Series, she was out of her sciatic pain after 3 weeks and it never has come back. It’s crazy how one little repetitive stress can cause so much pain. Glad the video helped and thanks for the message!

No, not really. Maybe if the air around you was really cold then it would but we haven’t noticed it getting cold, but we live in California so it doesn’t get super cold here.

@@ZLineFitnessSantaMonica so if i were looking for a cold compression boot, what would you suggest ?

Ah, those are different because they use a fluid where the on in the video uses air. I don’t use the cold compression ones personally so unfortunately I don’t have a recommendation for you. Sorry.

@@ZLineFitnessSantaMonica appreciate it my guy 👌🏾

Yes!!

Well, she’s my wife and luckily she doesn’t mind helping out with the videos.😁

We really like the Casper mattresses. My clients really like them too. I have people that have literally have paid $10,000 - $40,000 on a mattress but returned it and love the Casper.

Yeah, it gets us all. Try these exercises out to help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gamuapyIZ9WAq68si=EksVhZ1vYuAYv-n7

Awe, thank you. Life has been a bit crazy. We actually moved and hopefully when things settle down a bit we will get back to it.

Or grab one of these pillows on Amazon: amzn.to/3PKO3Pm
