Roll onto the side of the lower back that hurts the least.

This is completely me ! I have also been through so many people who haven’t helped. I’m also a Pilates teacher so am completely baffled as I seem to do all the right things but this shows it must be something I’m unconsciously doing repeatedly. I hate sitting too long I sleep the same way as the lady . I have too much range of motion in my hip external internal rotation. My hips feel tight and loose at the same time. Pain down front and sometimes down to front of foot. Physio has just tried dry needling for first time

@@MichelleSmith-ze3rf hey! no worries- yes, another video, but I know which one you're talking about! Sorry to hear about what you're dealing with. I appreciate you sharing a bit of your story. You may be correct- often I find that people are doing things "they don't know they don't know" in the form of habits, routines, etc physically and/or mentally thats keeping them from healing. This is the first step to healing- doing the detective work needed to optimize the healing environment. Then comes testing to identify the specific motion that will be best. Getting back to full speed and prevention is the final step. No pressure, but would you be open to me reviewing your case to see if/how I may be able to help?

Very funny and creative use of the toys lying around the house 😀 And great content of course! I would like to ask what the opposite of the left forward bend is. Is it back bend to the left or right? Thank you.
@drcharliejohnson 4 күн бұрын
@@Gabi-ud1cq hey! Thanks! Good question. Opposite of left forward bend would be back bend to the right 👍. You can do this in various positions… lying on belly and achieving a back bend to right. Starting on all 4s and sinking into a back bend right. Standing back bend right… kneeling… or even lying on belly and kicking right leg up/back can accomplish a back bendy type motion to the right. Many motion/position combos to explore to help you unlock your yucky motions! So, don’t get discouraged if one way doesn’t work… where there’s a will, there’s a way and it simply takes testing and a bit of a process to find what will work for you! 👊🏼 Let me know if you get stuck or need help.

As soon as I watched this video I became aware how I was standing at the sink and doing dishes and folding towels. When you were standing at the sink and showed how you could stand and relax the back muscles verses leaning over and tightening the back muscles it helped me understand how I have been putting a lot of strain on my back while doing regular household chores. I have some bad habits to overcome. I really appreciate your videos.

Hi, I have a question about side plank. I have pain in my right glute and I’m working on strengthening it. Should my right leg be on the bottom or left leg on the bottom during these exercises?
@drcharliejohnson 8 күн бұрын
@@Gymmotivation_by_Harshit good question. Honestly, it’s less about “strengthening” and more so about finding what feels best. So, if strength is the main goal- the right leg would be on the bottom. If pain relief is your goal then pick the side plank that feels painfree and work that to start. Make sense?
@Gymmotivation_by_Harshit 8 күн бұрын
@ thanks for your response doc. I discovered this lengthened piriformis syndrome while doing heavy deadlifts, and now I can’t deadlift or squat anymore because I feel pain in my right glute. My goal is to fully recover so that I can return to powerlifting movements at my fullest capacity. What would you recommend I do for that?

I get sharp pains in the hip that I am having trouble getting diagnosed. When I rotate left leg outwards, it feels like something is pinching. When I do the second test in this video and pull knee towards opposite shoulder, no pain other than a stretch. But when I release the stretch, I feel the pinch in the hip. I can stand on the affected leg by itself for 30+ seconds without pain so I don’t think it’s DGS or GTPS. Any thoughts what might cause pinching at the hip on outward leg rotation?
