ABOUT THIS VIDEO
In this video we discuss simple stretches to fix foot pain. You'll learn two stretches that fixed my plantar fasciitis foot pain, and one strengthening exercise that will help you relieve and prevent foot pain in the future. These stretches and exercises don't require you to stretch your calves and ankle muscles. These foot pain stretches don't even target your feet, even though the results will help your feet!
I used to get intense heel pain in the morning every time I got out bed. Walking down the street hurt my feet. When I discovered these hip stretches and exercises fixed my foot pain, I couldn't believe it.

[@arandomevent]

This was an aha moment! I've been having hip issues along with the plantar, it makes so much sense. Duh! 😊 Thanks so much!!!!

[@lemonladyYT]

You need to make your comment pinned so all get to see it. 😉

[@ladycake1515]

I learned I can lick my toe.😅 still gonna do the exercises tho 😂

[@Susette0302]

My Achilles is ruptured Can I do any of these exercises? I developed plantar fasciitis after the rupture. Please help

[@fayedickinson6684]

Your a legend, two years I’ve been suffering with plantar fasciitis been to two different podiatrists, spent a fortune on orthotics, etc to no avail I was at my wits end. I tried your exercises and OMG the difference..turns out it was my hips! Cannot thank you enough!

[@eileenmackin5382]

OMG im 68 and im almost crippled with plantar fascitis. Just tried these exercises and i cant believe my feet got some relief. My hips are so stiff they feel wooden. The relief is so good i could cry. I can hardly move and in just a few minutes the difference is mind blowing. This is my regine from now on. Tgank you so much ❤

[@yelodlyt6850]

How did it go away? From this exercise or shoes? My heel had been hurting for years

[@michellewelch6013]

I doubt you will see this comment. All the same I shared this video about Plantar Fascitis with my son who has suffered with it for years. He messaged me this morning and said he has been doing these stretches for three months and realized this morning that his foot doesnt hurt. Pain relief, what a blessing and a joy! Heartfelt thanks for your generous sharing!

[@bethra.flowers]

Eureka!! That's why my plantar fascitis went away. I tried everything and nothing worked then I began ignoring it and just continued to increase training mobility and the problem faded away on its own. That is so fascinating! Thank you for bringing this to our awareness.❤

[@felbaud]

Hello what did you do that don’t work ? You did all theses exercises on this video each day and see results few days after ? Thks

[@AbdullaKhan-sy8zr]

Excellent stuff .Many Thanks

[@jennybaker5713]

Which foot goes in front--the one with the pain? Of course , it's a good idea to do both sides anyway. How long does it take to make it go away * days/weeks?*

[@er3117]

As far s I understand, the healthy foot goes in front. The one with the pain goes behind. You can feel the flexors stretching on that leg that goes behind, therefore the relief on that foot

[@elizabethrice9190]

Yes!! You’ve proved once again what my trainer says: “the problem is (usually) NOT where the pain is”. Your video helped me so much! Thank you!

[@mikedenman1705]

Oh my Lord!! I have been limping for 2 months. I have a collection of insoles including orthotics. I was thinking maybe surgery! Getting up 1st thing in the morning I limped for 20 minutes then my heels hurt I wanted to learn to walk on my knees how bad it was. I did your stretch and my heel pain was freekn gone immediately!! I cant believe it. Im looking forward to seeing how it feels after a nights sleep. Thank you so much for this video!! You are a God send my friend!!❤

[@guillermovargas8564]

I've been having plantar fasciitis for months. I did your very first exercise and the pain was gone almost immediately, but of course the real test was the following morning after waking up....voila! No pain!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Thank you very much Matt!!! I'm a 61 y/o marathon runner and I thought my pain was related to the training and age. I was wrong! Thanks again!!!

[@nathangough26]

Oh Thankyou so much for your bizarre fix. I have battled plantar fasciitis for 9months, trying all the other options….massage balls, orthodics, bare feat shoes, calf stretches and strengthening, cut out running and sport….to No or little benefit. Once I stretched out my hip flexors I noticed the pain was gone….it came back quote soon after but I though why?? Well I was sitting on my arse again in front of that computer or on a plane or driving a car causing my hip flexors / core to be tight again. But once I stretch it out the heel pain disappears. I can run again !!! Thankyou so much!!! I paid so much on doctors and podiatrist fees, X-rays, ultrasounds, stupid stability shoes, crappy show inserts….OMG 10 second stretch shows the problem.

[@Uprighthealth]

Yesss! Thanks for sharing your success story!

[@supercjh]

It’s been 2 months for me trying out everything you mentioned. Hope this works

[@Razazan37]

Found this channel a year ago when I thought I might need surgery for my hip pain, which was a terrifying thought. The pain was so bad I had even switched to a different car because I couldn't use the clutch anymore. Then after a couple years, the pain started on my other hip. Following a different video you made for that issue fixed it completely. Years of pain and it was gone. I couldn't believe the solution was so simple. As long as I keep up with those exercises a couple times a week, the pain doesn't return. Lately, I've been having more and more problems with my feet "plantar fasciitis", I was told. After just the first attempt at the first two exercises in this video, I found the relief to be amazing. And again, a couple times a week, and the pain is no more. Thank you so much! I'll just add that I've always been physically active, lifted weights, and thought myself to be in good shape. Obviously, there are areas that have been neglected, and these issues seem to be cropping up as I get older. Thank you again for all the work you put into these videos. They are very well done and easy to follow. I enthusiastically recommend your channel to anyone I hear complaining about the issues you cover.

[@lindapalen8282]

I do a lot of sitting I had a stroke 21/2years ago Thanks for the reminder to keep moving

[@johnc9909]

I was doing multiple foot exercises to try to get rid of my plantar fasciitis and until I stumbled onto your video and incorporated the exercises in this video I finally am starting to feel less pain in my foot. Thank You! I am also transitioning away from orthotic type shoes to barefoot type shoes to help strengthen my feet.

[@thedivinemisslilybeth4149]

Yes, barefoot type shoes were a game-changer where foot exercises were not! Love this video!

[@denisescott34]

Sending this link to my young daughter right now. She's been suffering from plantar fasciitis for multiple years and none of the other interventions has helped for long. Thanks!

[@PlanetByeBye]

I have been suffering for a year now. I am one week in on these tips. It works. Thank you so much. I am now convinced most of these foot issues can be helped by paying attention to the entire chain, especially the hips.

[@jennybaker5713]

I'm still not sure if it's my plantar fascitis as it does still hurt. Maybe I actually injured myself....

[@kesses9041]

How are you doing now? 🙃

[@PlanetByeBye]

@@kesses9041 5 weeks at these suggestions and honestly I am doing great. I am almost pain free. That is huge given the last year.

[@himaflower]

I followed your exercises just now (just once) and my heel is pain free! I am amazed! I’ve had the pain for months and tried various stretches etc daily but nothing worked. Thank you. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow but I’m speechless.😘

[@YogZab]

How is it now?!! Amazing!

[@brittweir8844]

Update???

[@lindaclark9925]

Which exercise, specifically ? Thanks !

[@lindaclark9925]

​@@YogZab....it's so true, it's physical therapy that heals this, if you notice ! Same here. And, it only took about two days. For a total end to that insidious foot pain !

[@himaflower]

@@YogZab I’m happy to report that I’ve been free from any pain for over 6 months. I don’t do the exercises at all now. Sorry for not replying earlier.

[@olderandwiser333]

Dealing with a year old injury, wherein I broke my sacral bone and damaged the sciatic nerve. Significant muscle atrophy because of pain induced inactivity. Just recently having a flare up of plantar fasciitis and the shin pain caused from favoring the heel. Finally realized that the whole thing has shortened my hamstring. So when I saw this video come up on my home page, it made a whole lot of sense to me. Thank you SO much for answering SO many questions in one video!! BTW I'm 70, otherwise very healthy and previously very strong, so this last year's unprecedented pain, lack of strength and mobility was causing me to feel like my body had betrayed me. Thanks for showing me the way back!!

[@lindaclark9925]

I tell everyone I see who is limping ... "...look up physical therapy for it if it's heel pain !"

[@lailasalli8743]

This makes total sense with me! I am 60 and my hips, thighs/hams have always been weak. Time to get ankle weights! Love your sense of humor!❤ Grateful for finding your videos😊!

[@cocopoco2006]

I knew I had tight hip flexor, but didn’t know it could effect my plantar fasciitis! Thank you because it already feels better from first stretch! Thank you so much!!

[@TheGoldenLinks1]

Yes!! Same! I noticed I couldn’t sit cross cross applesauce and now am learning how that can be related to my PF! Hoping to help my hip and feet at the same time!

[@Finannza]

These exercises worked absolute wonders for me. Still no idea why;-) Thanks so, so much for fixing a years-old problem!

[@Uprighthealth]

You are so welcome!

[@tosue1]

While working a desk job where we were all but chained to our desks, I had terrible plantar fascitis. I then worked at a garden center where I was moving different ways all the time and the foot problems cleared up quickly. Now many years later I have a problem hip and I can tell cramps & pain I get in my leg & foot are coming from my hip.

[@frankdc3893]

IT REALLY WORKS!! I had been 4 months with a strong foot pain because of a foot spur and consequent plantar fasciitis. In these two last weeks I've got almost rid of it with your exercises and definitely freed myself of all the orthotics insoles. Note at the beginning the foot hurted and you may feel it burning inside but after a while it settles down. THANK YOU.

[@RGleason]

After now going on 4mo of plantar fascitis with 2 of unmerciful pain which I had thought a result of the dropped foot on same side, trying just the 1st and last stretches you showed have already brought a bit of relief. I am so very grateful to you for sharing these with us

[@AtaaPanyinAfia]

Omg!!!! This actually worked after the 1st exercise and after two of them, I felt perfectly healthy and can walk pain-free!!! Thank you!!! Tell everybody!!!

[@azantidote]

Immediately can feel the difference. Stretching the hip flexors and glutes brought more relief than all the foot stretching that really seemed not to be at the root of it all. Thanks 🙏

[@Kuei74]

OMG! the second stretch really did the trick for me!

[@kesses9041]

WOW!! A couple minutes in to the video and tried the stretch immediately = and it eased the pain in my foot A LOT immediately!! 😮 So strange! Especially since I have stretched the hip flexor with other exercises but that didn't help. But this did? Will keep watching and trying. 2 years into this and nothing has helped before.

[@s.c.9878]

So pleased and relieved to have found you. I do think your exercises are making a difference to my plantar faschiitis problem. Thanks!

[@agnestreplin8453]

good to hear that there is a connection between the hip and the pain in the soles of the feet. It makes a lot of sense.

[@TheStncld357]

Great content my friend, I'm a PT and have been using traditional calve/foot stretches with little success. You got yourself a new follower and fan. Have a blessed day!

[@rdnraden9332]

Thank You so so much!!! Your comprehensible explanation of the dynamics of the plantar fasciatis condition made sense to me and actually made me try this excercise. Not even a month in my condition was totally bearable. Two months in I'm almost completely healed. This is after almost 4 years of accute plantar fasciatis struggles! Xiexie

[@natalie306642]

You explained that SO well! Great job

[@andreevaillancourt2177]

I love your sense of humour.😊

[@MaryOKC]

I did these exercises after trying the traditional remedies and I agree about minimal shoes and an ex runner .. so I did the stretches and then I got a burning sensation in the fasciitis in the outside of my heel. I will do the stretching you recommended and I’ve become sedentary lately and that’s what brought this on again plus I’m detoxing and believe oxalate dumping has brought this issue back after years of healing. Thank you for reminding me to stretch in this manner.

[@JavedIqbal-xw4tz]

I suffered from PF and bone spurs for four years . Fed up from bed ridden routine I went out and stated jump up on my foot toes in a grassy lawn . When I felt relieved continued for a week and PF automatically got relieved. It worked for me.

[@bxxmb80]

Interesting u should say that.. I remember having foot pain for years and on daily painkillers, one day I walked around a field barefoot on the grass, it was a 15 Mins walk then I sat for an hour with feet on the ground barefoot.. I kid u not.. I had no pain whatsoever for the following 2 months! I belive it's was a combination of foot stretching and GROUNDING my feet, body to the earth.

[@jennybaker5713]

​@@bxxmb80 I want to try this, but it's raining . bummer!

My plantar fasciitis disappeared. I tried a lot of other stretches and even physio. Nothing worked after a couple of times I actually could my foot down . Thank you so so much!

[@crich9640]

Oh my word, waking up in the morning and as soon as the foot hits the ground the pain is so intense. Will be trying these tonight. Did some at my desk and felt somewhat better, can’t wait to get home and go all in. Thank you for this information.

[@lisakenific3328]

Thank you so much!!!! These stretches have helped, I have always done at least 5 days a week of yoga which included hip flexor and hip opener poses and had stopped a few months ago and realize that’s when the Plantar Faciitus symptoms started. I’m getting relief after only two days!!! Thanks for making these videos providing the best ways to heal ourselves!!!

[@calliopeiasmiles]

Thank you so much. Did the first two exercises, and I can bear weight again after 3 months of continuous pain. Thank you so much ❤ I had physio says nope, it's not PF, podiatrist it's PF but you need to pay us 1200 euros to fix it and you need orthotics. Following and liking ❤

How did go? Did you heal more? 🙃

I did a very similar hip stretch for my PF a couple of years ago, this WORKS. Crazy how easy it was.

[@sydmarchese1506]

Trish here. You’re a legend. IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more painful foot while getting up in the morning. THANK YOU !!!!!!!

[@docmattic]

Just watching you start with hips. I’ve had plantar fasciitis and arcillies pain in both feet for a few years now on and off. No one really looked into the cause - just got given a bunch of the usual to do. I always thought it was weird it was both legs-and it would often be irritated from doing nothing. Recently I got a hip injury so was working on stretching and mobility in the area - 90% of the pain for both issues went away.

[@steveoverstreet5635]

That last tip about barefoot shoes is what solved ALL of my foot problems … and I owe it to Upright Health … Matt tipped me over the edge so to speak and I tried them out over a year ago. Be gentle and go slow, of course, but I dove right in like an idiot - and suffered no consequences at all! PS: I have been trying these exercises, and my butt and hamstrings feel much better and a little bit stronger. Thanks, Matt!

[@bronwenhook6088]

I love your videos. I think what I have is plantar fasciitis. I am 74, training for a month long walk and must have gone too far, too fast. I hate to stop and lose progress but everything hurts! I will limit myself to strength training for the next little while and use this video in particular. Thanks for your excellent instructions. I would love it if you made videos of a lower and upper body 20-30 min strength session ...

[@mellocello187]

If the pain is in your heel, worst when you take your first step in the morning, bad when you get up from sitting, not so bad after you’ve walked a bit, then you have plantar fasciitis. The first step in the morning will tell you. Stabbing pain in the heel.

[@welcomewellnesscoaching4043]

This is fantastic! Thank you! I can already tell through trying the stretches that I am much tighter on the side I have foot pain on. Now I have hope that my foot will get better!

Tin Man Here. HI all. Been a while. I'm sure my phone is talking to your phone Matt cause my plantar fash flared up about a week ago. This morning I wake up to your vid on how to work your plantar fasciitis. Timely! Yes I've done the lacrosse ball and pinch the heel and though I do hip flexor stretches every day and the "four", I will double and triple those efforts. And after a summer of almost daily visits to the gym, this Tin Man is becoming less of a Tin Man. I do your morning workout from the FAI fix every single day. In this ever changing world in which we live, I hope you continue to keep doing what you are doing for some time yet. Gracias

[@toocleanpappas5397]

Cool ideas! I am a long distance hiker and had knee problems the first 2000 miles I hiked. Then I noticed a correlation with my knee pain and my pack hip belt. I stopped using hip belts and now have done 8000 miles without knee pain. I say this because the hip stretches you recommend actually immediately started to help with the plantar fasciitis I am dealing with now and I didn't think to loosen my hips. Hiking across New Zealand and it has a ton of road walking which my body isn't used to. Thanks again!

[@KJ-vj8nt]

Did these once and already feel better. Amazing release and relief to my feet/heels. Thanks for the streches!

So very true. Those foot stretches did not took care of my heel pain. Your information is appreciated.

[@okanoganbrent]

To add to your bigger picture suggestions and while in the seated position of your second exercise, I found one the best things I could do is indirectly work on the tibialis posterior. Use both hands. One in groove between gastrocs and the medial tibia. Locate sore spot, then use other hand to explore in this same groove to get release/increase awareness. Do some resisted small foot movement after, to effect an eccentric contraction on the tibialis posterior. My hypothesisis is that the tibialis posterior fixes ROM and needs increased ROM to positively help with the "information/proprioceptive) issues that accompany plantar fasiitis.

[@deborahbarry8458]

Makes sense to me

[@elainetan1243]

OMG, the hip flexor stretch absolutely worked for my heel pain , felt immediate relief ! TQ for that and am so grateful that i stumbled across your very easy to understand informative and funny instructions for foot pain relief !

Talking about FOOT PAIN. A friend of mine was having a lot of foot pain. He went to a neurologist and was diagnoses with foot neuropathy and given all kinds of drugs for it. Didn't help much. After many months he finally wet to a FOOT DOCTOR. The Doctor found a small PEBBLE in his foot. Once removed. No more pain. Simple things make all the difference.

[@jennybaker5713]

How did the pebble GET there?

Since I was a youth I rode horses but I always had hip problems and know this from sitting on fence posts and the pain it caused, but then a truck accident being tboned in 2010 I have been on a quest to fix this . I have splints, boots ,taped ,iced ,rolled and everything but a year ago I found your old video and it was magical and now another video and it makes huge sense and brings instant results and really takes that pain off the bottom of foot . Saved this time in my email ❤thank you much appreciated for your time and efforts to help others with this painful foot condition.

For those who must do the pigeon stretch while standing, you can use a chair either with arm rests or not. A kitchen chair is probably the easiest. Stand to the side of the chair and grip the back or the chair for balance. Put your leg sideways on the chair as shown in the video. Keeping a straight back try to bend forward. I used to use this stretch for an injury years ago and it helped me so that now I am able to do the stretch as shown in the video or as the yoga pose.

[@mae7673]

I had a similar experience. Excessive calf stretches just irritated my achilles. Stretching my hips made the pain decrease significantly. I still feel it sometimes but I'm not limping with a cane anymore. I'm up to walking 5k steps a day, up from about 1500

[@Uprighthealth]

Thanks for sharing!

[@chelseascott5872]

I've been doing toe raises like a maniac and I think that is actually making it worse if anything and really hurts to do them. I never considered the pain might be coming from my hip flexors but I will try these exercises instead and no more toe raises.

I wear a uniform which includes a certain type of Ladies shoe which make this very tricky for me.

I was told no this is only a foot problem.

Transitioning to barefoot shoes was the only thing that got rid of my plantar fascitis pain. Building muscle in the feet is the only way to take the stress off the plantar fascia.

[@maryprater9218]

How did you make the transition, I'm 69 years old and it kinda of scares me because of all my foot and leg better I have?

[@loukiapoulimenou8565]

Thank you for underlining what I suspected. I have tried everything, physiotherapy, ice, injection etc but nothing worked. I remarked that some positions help and some others don' and this had nothing to do with the painful spot. So I " suspected" that healing had nothing to do with all the stuff that I had tried but I just had to enforce my body so that it could be able to heal on its own. And then I saw your video and I understood that I was not the only one who came to this conclusion. So thank you once again I continue with muscle strengthening and hope

[@consciousequus]

Too cool, for I too JUST had an explosion of plantar fascitis- " food prep" job on concrete ... taping & working my feet, ankles etc; you're 💯 correct! - feels good, kinda helps, but NOT ' FIXING' the issue..then me brain& body reminded me: plantar FASCIAtis !!Fascia ! ALL connected! Kicked the ' stretching up 10 knotches- doing hip/ hip flexor, Top thigh & hamstring stretching ... holy cow !! I couldn't believe how much the rest of my legs ' atrophied ' !!! Regular stretching of these areas, like you said, MADE ALL the difference !! & now I'm finding that adding other strengthening exercises & with a bit of ' weight ' is REALLY making it all happy !! I guess I was on right path, thinking: plantar fascitis is JUST an expression of other issues! That you for this vid ! You've cut through All the ' miss-guided' ( medical) information that just keeps/ kept us ' looping ' in pain without a solution

Seen 4 different physio, at least 4 podiatrist's and none really suggested anything other than padding the shoes, changing shoes and being gentle to my feet. None suggested anything north of the knee ever, 1 physio suggested standing on edge of a step and strengthening the flexors but was too much without supporting mobilising movements and ended up with both feet equally bad. Wearing "softie" trainers for first time in my life was probably the cause of the spread. Moved to a different country, had more of the same advice from physio and podiatrists. Then met a massage guy (random find in a Vietnamese massage shop) who specials in feet and lower leg, gave me a bunch of mobilising and strengthening exercises for hips and down. And within 3 weeks, MASSIVELY IMPROVED situation. I can now for first time in about 3 years walk more than 800m without feet basically collapsing and needing to get a taxi the rest of the way. So what this guy covers in video is definitely valid IME. Locate the issue, massage and free up, stretch and mobilise then strengthen. For first week suggest doing half the reps of whatever is suggested, keep it properly light work so you don't tear or damage anything, and work gradually into it. By week 3, omg, the feeling of not being in mega pain with every footstep is amazing.

if you want to improve your hip-flexor stretch here raise your hand high up and tilt it to the left for your right leg (and to the right for your left leg). Imho makes the stretch more efficient. Been dealing with PF for 1.5years now and had to stop running entirely! These stretches definitely helped me to an extent but didn't fix entirely the problem

Hey! I just want to say thank you. This fixed my fasciitis. I was wondering why sometimes after doing yoga my fasciitis disappeared, and now I realise it’s because there we do hip stretching exercises. I’m now stretching before I go to bed, and I hold the full pigeon pose for a while, and when I wake up, I do the stretches in your video. My fasciitis is gone!!!

Been suffering from this for the last month (I play soccer 2-3 times per week). It’s been progressively getting worse despite constantly stretching and activating my foot and calf muscles so I’ve taken a week off. I stretch daily but there are some stretches in here that I haven’t tried, hoping this helps!

[@teb7426]

In the exact same boat as you. How are you getting on with this? Cheers

5:26 "... and there's a bonus here because as you get more and more flexible, you can actually clean your feet and your toes with your tongue." LOL

[@sunshineflyer]

Excellent video! I use these stretches (along with strengthening) for my hips. The presentation and recommendations are so different, and very helpful!

[@mumsylydz]

Thank you for this info. I had this PF for 5 months now & it’s not so nice ,painful & uncomfortable. So I will do this everyday. 😊

[@isabelg8788]

First try, and it worked!!! I will keep doing this. Thank you so much!

[@slim830]

Thank u so much this has relieved my foot pain lol but I noticed after I got done doing your stretches when I went to massage my foot I felt no pain god bless u imma gonna do this everyday until I heal hopefully

[@cileisoleil9141]

Great content! I shared it with a friend who has being suffering for years & l hope she gets better.

[@jeffwells0123]

Fascinating! I thought that various supplements might have been what relieved some minor achilles irritation that’s stuck with me after moving into a new house, but no, after testing out my deep squat after stretching my hip flexors, magically the pain is reduced! Thank you!

[@jamie_d___]

You have good grounded wisdom on the body have followed for a long time , thankyou . I always enjoy

[@andrewcourtman1460]

A very big thank you for solving my problem. Keep the good work.

[@khanscombe619]

Brilliant info. This helps. Occasional roller hockey & hiker climber. I was sore getting back into it. I’ve been walking barefoot at & around my property since 2020 work from home. Now I’m not so used to my old work dress shoes I have to wear. 6 hrs here or there

[@duncanmartin2626]

I was hoping this would tell me why I have this working the other way around - I injured my foot, and ever since have had major hip pain. FAI Fix improved things somewhat, but not 100%, and the hip gets worse as soon as the foot becomes sore.

[@ariannaplayshouse]

Gait issues. Root (feet) up to head in terms of direction, strength and stability. We all need to be well balanced or issues will arise (rise).

[@Blitsun]

YAAAAS! I've been battling plantar fasciitis about 9 months now. At first, I was trying to avoid being hard on my feet. After a few months of being careful with no improvement, I just "gave up" and returned to my regular martial arts training and stretching and stance work and, lo and behold, I forgot I had a PF! My feet are way happier when I am working my hips and stretching my big muscles around my pelvis and back and legs. Also note- martials arts is BAREFOOT. I think the recommendations to wear orthotics and extra cushioning and TLc are totally off. So, like, YEAH, I totally agree with you!

[@anandsawant5476]

Thanks felt relief immediately

[@brittweir8844]

Thank you thank you thank you you’ve made it clear to me I’m not stretching nearly enough or sometimes not at all after long cycling workouts, which is probably the reason I can’t shake this plantar fasciitis😢 great tips❤. I am going to try these 🎉 I’ve got old-school training techniques and theory stuck in my head that no pain no gain😮😅😊

[@nancyspencer6971]

HOLY CRAP!! It did help imediately! I am a believer now. Looking forward to more information from you!
