Another useful set of movements. Thank you Colm!

[@LearnSomatics]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@KnutFan]

I feel like I’ve been waiting for this one. It pairs beautifully with the plantar fasciitis video. Even if you don’t have plantar f.

[@LearnSomatics]

Yes, that's a good observation. They're getting at the same issue, an imbalance between the two side of the waist. Don't forget your Side Bends too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp7Ui5eVhdmnZtU

[@cinmac3]

could this be named balancing the pelvis or would that be too broad?

[@Anne-et5lf]

I find when I release the waist it helps with jaw pain. I often get jaw tension on one side and when I release the waist it frees this up.

[@cinmac3]

Hi Anne isnt it amazing as we get to the roots of what might be binding our tensions it helps more of our life never mind our body’s.

[@d.haskins3840]

Awesome, ty, I am trying to "correct" this. I feel like my entire pelvis and hips are twisted up

[@LearnSomatics]

Try this one too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYTUln-harusbKM

[@xowillow33]

This helps me so much, thank you!!

[@LearnSomatics]

You're welcome Willow, if you found that one helpful you’d probably also like the following sequence. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIa9p6ann7qIbtk Give it a try and let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching.

[@redpilled9595]

Hi ,Colm any movements we can do before we start this practice to make the hips a little more mobile? I did this and I do feel some benefits

[@LearnSomatics]

Hello redpilled, Arch & Curl, Back Lift, Side Bend would set you up quite well for this. Give that a try and let me know how it goes.

[@mercydickson4578]

Can you do this excercise if you have a knee problem or a total replacement knee. Would that be an issue with this exercise?

[@LearnSomatics]

Hi Mercy, this one is all about hiking the hips to even up the legs. So there's really not much happening with the knees themselves during this movement. Have you been cleared for movement by your physician? If you have then you could give it a try. If you are comfortable with the various working positions (one leg bent, one leg straight, both straight, and both knees bent) you should be fine. Go slow, don't force anything and pay attention to the movements of your hips and waist. That said, trust your body, if any of it causes pain or discomfort in your knee, stop. Let me know how it goes.

My back cracks so much every time, just on the left. . not sure if it's supposed to do that 😂 Have some sort of impingement on left hip, can't lift leg up No internal rotation on that side Nerve pain that goes down front of shin etc etc... Too scared to find out what it is so just put up with it...

[@LearnSomatics]

Hello, try following the Daily Routine video first, then coming back to this one afterwards. The Daily routine video covers all the basic movements. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqnUnXR3i9GFgbc I'd also recommend this one for your nervy shin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4DLdIh9oNynmsk Thanks for watching.

[@ozgal606]

@@LearnSomatics thank you! I'll give it a go.

[@naveenahmad1331]

Thank you so much Colm ! Will give it a try tomorrow,have this issue since ages , should I repeat it twice daily ?

[@LearnSomatics]

@@naveenahmad1331 Hello Naveen, yes you can do it once or twice daily. Let me know how it goes.

[@ingridabston4912]

My right hip seems stuck when trying to move it upward. It doesn’t go as high as the left side. Plus it is sensitive. What should I do?

[@LearnSomatics]

Hi Ingrid, have a look at the following videos, they will all help with hip movement and equalising leg length: Balance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIa9p6ann7qIbtk SI Joint: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYS6nph4l7Rojac Sciatica: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ2Ug6WQh7KqZrs Let me know it goes. Thanks for watching.

[@ingridabston4912]

Thank you so much! You are the best!

[@fezekamtanti8398]

Are we moving the high hip up and down or? Im sorry im so confused...is it up and down vertically or horizontally? Also, for how long? Must the reps be

[@LearnSomatics]

Keep the short leg straight, bend the other leg. Draw hip of short/straight leg towards armpit. Slowly release. Continue from there. Does that make sense?

[@dantheman6159]

Hi Colm, what would be the protocol if the side of the shorter leg is also the one with the lower hip? I understand that usually the higher hip is the side where the leg is shorter but as per my x-rays my left hip is higher than my right and my left leg is longer than my right. I have a tilt and compression in my waist to my right where my right shoulder is lower than my left shoulder. Appreciate if there is a protocol to address this condition. Thanks, Dan

[@LearnSomatics]

Hi Dan, send me an email so I can reply in more detail: [e-mail]

[@cinmac3]

Do you only want questions on video's you ask ?

[@thomasokeefe3081]

Sound is weak.

[@LearnSomatics]

Thanks for watching. I’m working on getting the sound right in my videos. I’ll update this one with better sound when I get an opportunity. Perhaps try it on a different device for now.

[@Jinnswoo]

Hey Colm, are you supposed to frel these only at your waist? Or are you supposed to feel this all up your trunk as well? I feel my waist tighten strongly, but I dont know if I am doing them correctly.

[@LearnSomatics]

You will feel it mostly in your waist but also in the rest of your trunk. When you contract your waist your entire trunk will move. Sounds like you’re doing a great job. Does it feel good afterwards?

[@cinmac3]

I understand many of the videos help to balance the pelvis ., duck feet and Charlie .... can they help ūs in similar ways ? I have done both but.....

[@LearnSomatics]

Yes there's some overlap on them. But you need to be able to move your trunk and spine first before you get into the hips and legs.

[@cinmac3]

@@LearnSomatics yes the 3 in one walking videos i do like one that trying master the ones that make me cramp , tight muscles i understand it’s why i cramp.
