Listen to Tom Morrison & Jenni's Journey and Mistakes!

[@woodwindfixer9248]

~40:00 that’s me. My back hurts my back hurts my back hurts. Years and years of begrudging progress followed by repeated setbacks. So close to despair I could taste it. Your humor and common sense approach has helped me immensely.

Totally love this video/podcast with the legends that are Tom & Jenni! I wonder how many lives you've changed for the better ...must be a LOT!

[@TomMorrison]

Getting there!! We want to reach as many people in the world as possible! 😄

[@diaxpora]

Definitely making a huge difference to mine right now. Discovered Tom a few weeks ago and already getting results in my mobility after tears of sciatica and lower body rigidity 🤗

[@suev4143]

Mobility exercises lubricate your body - move, so you can continue to move! Have a wiggle, that's where you start to feel better. Start where you are, and if you never give up, you don't fail! 😉 Great hearing the history, thanks.

[@kajnor1814]

Just love this interview! Never, ever stop having fun!

[@TomMorrison]

We won’t! 🙌

[@gardenernut5]

Finding your videos Tom is changing my life and certainly my outlook for the better- feeling hopeful at 66 after a fall and L1 fracture (kyphoplasty w/ bone inserted in late August) The vids on mobility are really speaking to me and then having Jenni reiterate that around minute ten just settled into my brain in a classic “a-ha” moment! Love you guys and thank you immensely for your content!

[@TomMorrison]

So happy to hear this! And to be part of your journey! Can always teach your body how to get stronger 🙌😄

[@cynthiathompson3912]

Loved this interview; already liked the two of you and because you want to everyone to know how achievable mobility it is & trying to make it fun too is why I signed up

[@TomMorrison]

Aww Thankyou so much! Yes this one was a lot of fun! Love a good podcast 😄

[@judylou1338]

I’ve been watching online shorts and really enjoying Tom and Jenni’s information and reasoning (also your Scottish accents! - it seems I guessed wrongly, sorry). Anyhoo, I had bought SMM a few days ago so coming across this podcast is perfect timing and I’m enthused to relearn and retrain. Thanks guys (as a kiwi living in Florida I’m often asked if I’m English/South African/ Australian 😅)

[@TomMorrison]

Ah love this! Thanks so much! Very happy to be part of your journey

[@robberrie677]

Bear here... It's cute how y'all think 30 is old. Im in Wisconsin (USA),57 and have been over 300 lbs for most of my life ( my goal is get to highschool wt of 280). Last week i saw one of your shoulder videos on FB and liked it enough to check you out on KZbin. Im liken what im seein on the flexability side of fitness. I like this conversation because it brings up the disadvantages of both sides ( being unflexable and i didn't know you could be too flexable). Thanks for what you do, Im delving deeper into your videos. Also i have a saying that fits your theme... Getting older is fine, getting decreped sucks, just sayen...

[@Anusia81]

truly enjoyed watching this! you are both legends!!!

[@mariantague9705]

My brother and his two sons teach martial arts and PT. Ive sent them your video because we can all learn more and this is a very honest and educational discussion. Thanks Tom and Jenny for all your insightful coaching

[@TomMorrison]

Thanks so much for sharing!! 😄😄

[@josemariaposadas5846]

Man.. this right in the heart. Love the story, i had something veeery similar, injuries due to martial arts, weight lifting etc.. and now, still struggling to find what is the right exercises for me.. stumbled upon your channel, did a few of your routines and exercises and i feel so much better. I will continue to do these. Thank you so much! I would have loved to write some more but, i dont think any amount of words can explain my gratitude towards you. Thank you once again. Love from the Philippines.

[@lesliepage3886]

You’re so right about CrossFit. It’s my fault that I don’t move well. That’s why I’m here listening to you two. 😊

[@diaxpora]

I love Tom (and Tom Morrison) and Jenni. Their videos do bring a smile to my face and body. Great podcast too guys. Light but informative and really relatable. I listened as I did some chores and even stopped to see the ‘tree’. 😂 Loyal subscriber here. Thanks a lot.

[@TomMorrison]

Aww thanks so much!

[@angelh7880]

I found the video. Yahhh. Its very interesting how they both had injuries & came out strong. I hope to be strong as well with their program. My God they have fantastic humor. It keeps me engaged. Thank you for sharing your stories & your knowledge with your journey. Barb M. :)

[@ajjames8691]

At 16 mins you talk about Its Jenni’s hyper mobility being harder to deal with than someone who needs flexibility I was taught in a gymnastics coaching course years ago that it’s easier to make a strong person bendy than a bendy person strong Keep up the great work

[@lynettevargas8524]

Tom, how did you get rid of the foot drop?

[@lucybecker8]

29:40. I’m not able to see at least 5 Physiotherapists & choose the best. 5 yrs ago I went to one - on Medicare - all I got was more hurt & ridiculed. So I rely on Dr Mandell & Tom Morrison & Chi dong on You Tube. Thanks for this talk.

[@tammyruvino1433]

Great to watch/ listen to you guys having fun. Been watching your videos for a long while now & love what you guys do / your approach. Great to get a bit of background of you guys 👌. Keep doing what you do, we love you 🫶

Thanks so much!!! ❤️

[@easygroove]

Nice Guys! Thanks for the Interview!

[@MarieMcneill-xs3rc]

I love this. I am a Tom and Jenni fan. Glad I found them and became a member of ssm. I was strong but had no mobility and was in pain all the time. Getting flexible now and slowly pain is reducing. Why oh why do gyms not teach this stuff. Really interesting to hear the back story. Keep up the amazing work.❤

[@TomMorrison]

We’ll convert the whole world one day!! 😄 love this post ❤️

[@misterwillguitar]

awesome stuff sir Tom and Jenni! Thank you so much - Ive got your mobility method - hopefully hips and hamstrings will unlock! thank you again

[@TomMorrison]

Awesome! Yes the deep lunge and 90/90 practice will sort you out in no time 🙌

[@JorgeLausell]

TY! Order. It is about Order, order of operations. We all seem to have a moment with that part of reality! The order, the sequence, the key, the scale. Like your point that they are the same movements approached informed by your best understanding of the needs of the situation, the movement's moment. Healing does seem to depend on commitment. Commitment may be the biggest limiting factor.

[@tomdukowski]

Thank you for this. I am a latecomer to your channel, but I am finding it very helpful. Many thanks. And Happy New Year!

You’re very welcome!!! Any questions ever just leave a comment!

YOU HAVE MADE ME FEEL BETTER FOR SURE, AND I KNOW GOD SENT YOU TO ME SO THAT I COULD FINALLY FINISH GETTING BETTER FROM REHAB. DOCTORS ARE NOT MUCH HELP FOR ME SINCE I WAS 35. IF ANYTHING ALL THEY DID WAS OFFER PAIN MEDS WITH OUT THE EXERSICES.

[@hembrasalvaje]

I have quite serious injuries to my back and neck from a horse accident years ago. With regular chiro I keep working. Here in Australia I've found doctors have NFI and physio (all the ones I've seen) just seem to aggravate it. Despite the injuries i can still put knee behind my shoulder but not with my leg straight like I used to and I can't just swing it up like I used to. Would love to get back to that

[@shannonp9871]

I liked this! It could be better if there were questions. If you notice, there’s a lot of relation but not enough questions that would bring out your guests knowledge. Cheers!

[@TomMorrison]

thanks! Definitely a different skillset in podcasts and conversations, something we're working on 💪

[@monikasalars1974]

So glad I found this! Recovering from torn meniscus and need all the help! 😁 love the info!!

I absolutely laughed and enjoyed this interview from start to finish! Hope you dont mind this kinda superfluous question, but i love ypur accents! Where are all of you four from? I dont want to guess in case i guess wrong, and i know its off topic from the whole interview, which i got so many good tips and knowledge from. But i would really like to know, where y'all beautiful accents are from ❤❤❤

I'm from Northern Ireland (& the two interviewers are too) Jenni's from England 😁

Thanks so much

[@jenduhr4212]

I have the same condition as Jenny, however I have the addition of not having a tendon in the center of my hip bone to hold my hip into place. I did a 2200 mile hike and my hips stayed in place until the last 150 miles and then my hip popped out. I am now having to learn how to keep my hip in place and strengthen... I'd been hiking 20 mi a day and now after 10 months I'm able to hike 5 miles, but not pain free. I have been using some of your mobility methods to start increasing my strength in muscles that were not even being used on my hike. A very slow process...

[@TomMorrison]

that's so crazy, and so incredible that you're keeping going and keeping building strength!! Good luck on your journey, it's slow but you're doing the right thing 💪🏻

[@tc-3]

Such an interesting conversation. :D

Thats for sure, it takes so much time to rehabilitate the body and time to heal. Take it one day at a time. Living for 62 years, you don't want to look like the chair you just got out of. lol the elderly look like this and some are not even that old.

hEDS, EDS, HSD can suck so bad or not at all for some. It's so dependent what collagen, protein exactly is affected. Which btw is not known yet, only starting to be investigated slowly. And not only joints, your whole gut loops, blood vessels can be flopsier than others, fall down and there is NO muscle to exercise to keep it in place.....😢

[@waynemoody2759]

Almost sounds like your describing “yoga”. ☺️

[@lucybecker8]

The tree demo was (so) cool.

[@docdunlop42]

Nail on the head with the "do it for a month and give up cause its not working". MIght have done that with SMM last year. Sorry Tom! Time to try it again this time and stick with it. P.s I still have nightmares about side plank marches. HATE HATE HATE lol

[@TomMorrison]

Awesome! Yes until you master the moves you have so much to gain!! 😄

Can you actually offset the damage done by sitting all day for work if your not going to quit your job? It feels like a losing battle some days

[@TomMorrison]

Absolutely! I used to have a job that was 11 hours a day sitting and was able to improve a tonne of stuff, this is a good blog to read tommorrison.uk/blog/is-sitting-too-much-really-ruining-your-mobility

This video 9m old now. So do you mean do yoga and pilates before starting with weights when dealing with injuries?

[@TomMorrison]

Having a solid bodyweight foundation is great yes

[@DrNancyLivingCoCreatively]

When I did Zen and yoga I learned hyperflexbility is worse than being too tight. I'm 73 and loved pilates and yoga. I need to regain flexibility. I'm trained in somatics. So I know the emotional end. Just regaining my posture is huge and yes I know planks are best. Right now heel toe chest up and tail glutes tucked helps.
