[@bushramanna9002]

Lower back, quads, neck and shoulders please

[@CarlosLara-wc4sv]

Informative video! Would love to see the PHD technique for the hamstrings-please!!

[@tareichadwick8270]

So clear, concise and to the point. When watching your videos I feel there’s light at the end of tunnel. Thank you Will.

[@HT-Physio]

So pleased my videos are offering hope - keep up the great work :)

[@chris-in-oceania]

Love this! WOW. Does anyone else in the world know this? None of my martial arts tutors or physios ever showed me this. I'd like this for the quads, abductors and hamstrings... you could do a whole series 🙂

[@sharmilasaha7265]

Very nice video Just like teacher teaching his students how to maximise stretching in a nicer way Thank you Will

[@HT-Physio]

Very happy to help!

[@AlanSpano-lb1fh]

Unbelievable, you make it so simple and yet the results are really evident. Thanks, Alan

[@HT-Physio]

Great to hear the results were able to speak for themselves!

[@ranayudhvirsingh838]

So good to learn PNF stretch. You are so good in showing the exercise techniques. Your videos are excellent.

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much for your kind words I really appreciate them!

[@claudiabettinawitt1311]

I am 64 years old now and the shoulder streching is important. I like also a video for streching my neck. Thanks a lot!

[@HT-Physio]

You're so welcome!

[@thepainterlyflutist2069]

Haven't read through all 141 comments, but I'd like shoulder external rotation, neck, and thoracic spine. Great video! I had heard of PNF but never really understood it until now.

[@edna7748]

Thank you so much Will for all of your excellent tutorials. The are so helpful.

[@HT-Physio]

Very happy to help :)

[@kendylhoudyshell1399]

Excellent video Will Thanks again for a great demonstration 😊

[@HT-Physio]

Happy to help!

[@jpk-r9o]

Great video. How do you do it for your quads?

[@terrio1306]

Another request for hamstrings, apparently I’m not alone. I just started PT for arthritis in my knee, your videos are a great accompaniment. Your explanations help to understand the hows and whys thank you.

[@arpanmukherjee5065]

Thanks Will, please make a full tutorial on all other musle group. Thanks again from Bengal, India

[@khadijatajmohd3144]

Watching from Oman Thank6Will Very useful information ..pls do the hamstring stretch as well

[@doubledark2]

brilliant stuff Will; this would make for a great series of videos - you could break it up to arm/shoulders. upper back, lower back, upper leg / lower leg... you get the idea :)

[@sandigoldie2249]

Thank you for the exercises. Im a caregiver for my 82 year old mom who has limited mobility and very bad knees. Some of your exercises might help her but definately help me.

[@HT-Physio]

So pleased to hear you find them useful - I hope they can be of use for your mum as well :)

[@celebratingvictories-nomat9862]

I’m appreciating your content and look forward to reading your book. Supporting seniors to live fully for a lifetime is my focus as well, for myself and my clients. Your tutorials are so well produced that I share them almost daily. Hop they’ll all be order your book too! Your content is excellent on so many levels, and yes, it’s helping me too! If you have a technique to stabilize the first ribs, I’d be yet more grateful! Stay awesome! 🎉

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much I'm so pleased you find my videos useful and thank you for sharing them with others I really appreciate it! Thank you for the work you're doing to support others as well, keep it up :)

[@Dragonflyathena]

Great video- and you’re such a clear explainer- thanks for all the great content you provide. Would love to see hips and hamstrings, adductors too! ❤

[@mazenkilani]

The most interesting physio video for a long time. PNF is magical. Thanks Will.

[@HT-Physio]

Happy to help!

[@carolenash3234]

Super idea. Will do you have any exercises for moderate ;lumbar scoliosis to right at L2 please. thank you

[@juliettestamp6933]

Me too

[@anamoto65]

That was so informative. I’ve been having shoulder issues and that helped tremendously. Thank you Will. I also have your book and love it. Love your videos!!!

[@HT-Physio]

So pleased it was helpful - thank you for supporting both my videos and my book - wishing you all the best with your shoulder :)

[@daffyd5867]

Thanks for explaining the pnf...interesting...

[@HT-Physio]

Glad it was interesting!

[@virajcghatlia]

This is brilliant! Thx...can you please let me know how can I stretch my hamstrings using this method.

[@hanslatour]

Thanks for this tip! I used to have a little ‘waggle’ after the 30 seconds stretch, but this is far more effective. Last week I received your book, wow, so good. You really explain things so clearly, gives far more stimulans when you know the why and how. Compliments!

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you for purchasing my book, I'm so pleased you've found it useful and interesting. I think it's important to explain the reasoning behind my suggestions to equip individuals with knowledge to support their care :)

[@susanmetcalfe2222]

I've been doing PNF with calf stretches from your video of 5 good morning stretches for several months & it amazes me ( like a magic trick) Anything for the other stretches in the session? At 72, found exactly what I need from your videos to build core strength etc. Sitting taller & engaging my core as I type😅 Brilliant stuff Will

[@edrabogucki401]

Thank you! I’m 80, having some balance issues and upper arm pain. I’ll try this technique.

[@celebratingvictories-nomat9862]

Well done. Stay with your breath. Extending the exhale will also signal the body that it’s safe. Easy does it. The ankle mobility Will’s talking about here is key for staying on one’s feet. Best wishes!

[@HT-Physio]

I hope you find it beneficial!

[@faridalalan5446]

At almost 74 years of age, I am thoroughly enjoying your instruction videos I need to thank you very much. India.

[@maryt2887]

Will, I love learning all these new things about the body! They are very useful, and you present them in a clear and understandable manner.

[@trevordoorasamy3138]

Hi Will. The manner in which you impart your knowledge and exercises routines is incredible. God Bless Will. Eternally grateful You are thee best on youtube.

[@debrajones8194]

Thank you for what you are doing. I’m 70 and have been having some issues with walking and pain in my lower legs. This was great. Will check out more of your videos and I subscribed. ❤

[@HT-Physio]

So pleased you found it helpful - thank you for subscribing :)

[@sandradehaven-bm7hu]

Thank you! I am always nervous that I am going to hurt myself even with simple stretches. You are the best!!

[@HT-Physio]

So pleased I'm able to offer support!

[@sleepysarah.]

That 'surprised' face looks like me every time I exercise! Thank you Will, for another really informative and helpful video. Your exercises are so easy to follow and keep up with, and I really appreciate being able to understand how our muscles work. 🙂

[@HT-Physio]

I'm so pleased you find my videos useful and clear - I like to provide the theory behind my suggestions as well so that people understand why things work!

[@sleepysarah.]

@@HT-Physio Having an understanding of how the muscle we are using is working, and understanding how the movement we are making is helping the muscle to stretch and grow is so useful. I really think it makes me more mindful of whatever movements or exercises I'm doing. I'm really grateful!

[@mlk3257]

Great video. Helpful and effective. Would love for you to show how to do the same with hamstrings.

[@trekguy2005]

Yes I’d like to know PNF methods for quads and hamstrings. I’m a 73 yo cyclist and this would greatly help me!

[@chrislora8895]

Another helpful video-thank you! Please do one for hips. Your hip flexor exercise provided me with relief that doctors couldn’t. This PNF approach seems perfect for hips.

[@nirmalaghanti4474]

Your instructions are great

[@RobertMuriithi-gk3lx]

Well done still enjoying your show here in Kenya I like what you are doing Asati sana

[@margaretling2103]

Shoulder exercise I find hard to do, but will keep going at it lying on the bad shoulder . Thanks awill

[@michaelmullard4292]

Great stuff, Will. I have the classic text “Stretching” by Bob Anderson and remember reading about the PNF technique years ago but never tried it until now. Makes a massive difference in a very short time. Would be great to see a series of videos on different muscle groups. Best wishes from California.

[@carpediem7013]

Thank you! Simple, clear explanation. Very helpful.

[@HT-Physio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bobashby280]

Thanks. Really excellent advice. Wish I had known this 30 years ago. I'm a fit strong mobile pain free 84 year old lacking some range of motions. Now I know why and will fix it. Stretching properly is as important as muscle toning.

[@HT-Physio]

I hope my video is able to offer some help now, even though it wasn't around for the years prior - and absolutely, stretching is vital :)

[@Inna.Eroshina]

So important information! 👍Thanks a lot!

[@HT-Physio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TCNW-nx4yf]

[@june007s]

Excellent

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you!

[@lovelearn5158]

Wow! That's incredible to see, so quickly! While stretching your shoulder, was your neck ok, holding in mid-air for so long ? My neck would be complaining, is ok to support with a couple of pillows?

[@ericchristopher1687]

Wonderful! Could you please show the proper position to do the same for tight hamstrings? Thank you!

[@johnpritchard9753]

Loved that - very well explained and demonstrated. This'll be great for me.

[@HT-Physio]

That's great to hear!

[@Mariana-ud7dw]

That's amazing. I'll try that next time I'm doing my stretches.

[@HT-Physio]

Wishing you all the best :)

[@veronicamelero7814]

Hi Will could this work for tightness in the groin area due to hip arthritis?

[@jm-xy6xh]

Fantastic!! Thanks much

[@HT-Physio]

Very welcome!

[@taniairias8990]

Useful and smazing, could you be do kind ss to show this technique for lower back and psoas. Thank you in advance

[@pattifenton1334]

Thank you, Will! Your expertise and tips are appreciated! I'm 58, in excellent shape - all glory to God! Due to how I sleep, my lower back and right neck muscle are tight upon awakening. Any stretching tips for the traps & low back would be very useful!

[@suzyh74]

Thanks Will, I learnt something new in this. I would value a video on exercises to strengthen and stretch the foot - flexion and extension; eversion and inversion please

[@Scotslass88]

Thank you. Fascinating. I sm 60 and while pretty flexible elsewhere, have very little movement when sitting on floor with legs out straight in a v and then trying to bend forward at the waiste with a straight back. Could this technique work for that somehow? Thanks.

[@preetiyog7542]

Hi v effective please share a video for hamstring and lower back muscles

[@sheiladiaz9530]

Amazing! Thank you. I have difficulty turning my head to the left. What stretch should I do using this method? Thanks. 😊

[@yvonne5616]

Can you show this for quad and glute stretches please?

[@laurentwermenlinger1773]

I would really appreciate if you could show me the PNF technique for hamstrings and quadriceps. Thanks for your excellent work.

[@aileenoneill5619]

I would like pnf for these also

[@donnadwarika6370]

Thsnk you alwajys Will for your video..

[@HT-Physio]

Very happy to help!

[@margaretling2103]

Look-fwd to 3 tip Friday , think it helps me .

[@HT-Physio]

I hope it does!

[@joseerichard8250]

Great advice ! Thanks so much. Can you show how to apply this pnf stretching to the lower back?

[@robertsimkins6146]

Will, like the PNF technique. How do you do it on the (back) of the Thigh were I'm currently suffering a pulled muscle caused by playing squash.

[@sanjaikapur1831]

Hi Will. How does one contract the hamstrings ?

[@miahughes1450]

Brilliant

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you

[@cliffaugust6704]

I use this technique with all my stretching and it's amazing how much your range of motion increases...never knew what it was called though.

[@HT-Physio]

Absolutely! Keep up the great work :)

[@DonaldEmery-n5i]

That is very useful.

[@HT-Physio]

Happy to help!

[@cathyjacob9377]

I would love to do this for my hamstring muscle.

[@highlander1574]

Great video, does your book cover the major areas of the body with the PNF technique? I'm a 66yo male recovering from rotor cuff injury and full knee replacement. Trying to get back to windsurfing. Enjoying your videos, keep up the good work. Hi from Melbourne, Australia

[@steprob11]

Will, could you please demonstrate how to use the PNF technique on a runners stretch?

[@taghreedsoliman8070]

Is there any exercise for muscle pspasm dut to dystonis

[@taariqq]

Can / Do we use this technique for regular exercises for our biceps, quads, and stuff or just the muscles that are stiff? Oh, it is for stretches only, I believe. Cool.

[@HenryMildenhall]

Tha ks Will, as everyone else finds, your videos are very informative, useful and easy to follow. The pnf video was particularly interesting. Thanks from Helen

[@yvetteafrangui518]

What kind of stretching for. Tennis elbow and golf elbow

[@Nourhan-Helmy]

could you plz elaborate leg muscle groups(quads, hamstrings, ant. tibialis)

[@Nourhan-Helmy]

and adductors plz

[@brooke2059]

Very helpful, Will. Thank you. I have always been confused as to how long to hold stretches. Some people say hold a stretch a few seconds, do it 10 times and 3 sets. Other people say hold the stretch 30 seconds, for 2 or 3 sets. Can you please show this technique to increase hip rotation and mobility? Thanks again.

[@jonrjd912]

How do you do this with hamstring? With Hip? Thanks

[@pvspeaks]

What’s the difference between PNF and isometric stretching or assisted stretching?

[@margaretling2103]

The Streatham exercise , this week , hope they’ll help my shoulder , broke my humerous in October Nearly 9 months ago, I’m 84 feel I’m doing well but still in pain . Do my exercises everyday …Thankyou

[@HT-Physio]

I'm sorry to hear about your broken humerous - that must've been very painful! Well done on keeping up with your exercises :)

[@robertodidiodato8383]

Great videos and I just purchased your new book too. I was just wondering if you had a video describing how to relieve forearm (brachialis) pain. By the way, I use your rotator cuff exercises before all chest, shoulder and back exercises!!! Wow, do they help. I wish I lived near your physio clinic. Thank you from Canada.

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you for purchasing my book, I hope you find it packed full of interesting information - I don't currently have a video on that topic but I have added it to my list of future video ideas - I'm so pleased my exercises have offered such a relief for you - wishing you all the best :)

[@magdal01]

Dear Will, please, for gluts & hips!!! These are my most painful causing also the lowere back pain.

[@caninbar]

Are these calf stretches ok if you have Achilles tendinopathy both insertional and non-insertional?

[@leannewarren]

More info on the safetest way to strengthen muscles around hips please...

[@HT-Physio]

Hi there - thank you for your comment, I have added it to my list of future video recommendations!

[@leannewarren]

@@HT-Physio brilliant, thanks so much. I actually found one of your hip stretches, so I tried it... simply crossing the leg over my knees in a seated position, it was so effective and offered immediate relief. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, so appreciated.

[@robertsimkins6146]

Will, just relooking at the PNF video. I am currently suffering from tennis elbow, and was wondering if any PNF (or other) stretching techniques can help me fix and ward off this annoying and painful condition?

[@ivylam0168]

Hi, Will, can you use this technique for the neck muscles: I have problems with folding my neck to the shoulder which was caused by whiplash injury in 1993 and I still have problem turning my head without feeling tightness!

[@jeeyberg]

TKS, Will! My stretching/strengthening is improved!-“Juanito”

[@louisethompson-xq7uu]

Can you please show the best way to stretch your neck muscles?
