[@marchcyr]

I wish this video had more views. More likes. And more comments. I know one day the subscriber count will launch to 200k. Excellent work.

[@barbaramontgomery8984]

Once again Eric, your video is so terrific. Each session is so informative and relevant to many of us everyday athletes who love to keep on learning and improving. Thank you!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Thanks for watching :)

[@write2jb]

You are brilliant. This saved me 3 years ago and I did it for a year steadily. Im starting it again and so grateful for the simple but magical information you share. I heard your last pitch around the elderly. I will be teaching these to my mom when she visits next week. 🎉❤

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Wow! That is so awesome to read. Thanks for your continued support and for trusting us to help your mom. That is the best referal of all. Let us know if either of you need more assistance :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@patriceabood2459]

I'm so happy I discovered you today! I'm a huge fan of Dr. McGill. So I knew I would love your videos. I am a balance nut and give my clients lots of balance work. This is fantastic and I could really feel it working. I have a client battling with (it seems) both gluteus medius and piriformis issues on one side. She also finds balancing difficult (except when she's on ski's, then she kills those black diamonds and she is 81 years old)! Looking forward to sharing this exercise with her. Thank you and I will continue watching and have subscribed to your channel. P.S. Good on your daughter already learning her anatomy! :)

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Thanks for the kind words and good luck with your client.

[@kittenheels1958]

Each of your video teachings makes us realize our bodies are such an amazing creation.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Agreed!

[@truestory923]

Can't believe that I watched this a long time ago and forgot how important what you talk about is... Thanks again!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Thanks for watching!

[@sergekamga4512]

This is the best mobility channel. I wish I knew about this channel earlier

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Glad that you found us!

[@lornabartlett2744]

Yes right on ! The hip bursitis is what I have a few years from repetitive work and yet to heal. However, hopefully this will help. 🤗🌬⏳💓

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You are in the right place! Keep me posted on your progress.

[@ryandubina688]

Thank you for this exercise. I've been looking online for achilles exercises and found you. You mentioned all the qualities I wished I was better at. I had "dumb feet", plantar facitis in one foot, achilles tendonitis in the opposite foot and I lacked balance. Everyone online suggested calf exercises and stretching but you pointed out the dumb feet and lack of balance in addition. These exercises work parts of my body that I've known for years to be lacking. Ill have to let you know how I progress as I keep at these exercises.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You are welcome! Definitely keep us posted on your progress :) - Team PM

[@SamA-nj7yr]

I have slightly bowed legs and collapsed archs. I think this has contributed to my Achilles’ tendon deciding to give way. I am going to use this exercise along with some others and massaging to try get it right again. Great video! Thanks!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Best of luck!

[@sushilasylvianaekka3949]

Very well explained and demonstrated...👍thanks💕

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You’re welcome 😊

[@paragonfl]

Great information. Been working on the problem and this helps me understand what I need to do.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Perfect!

[@trendyshoe2089]

Great video!! Really appreciate your work! I will send this to my clients and family members! Continue the excellent work man you are greatly appreciated!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Much appreciated!

[@rorygilmoredude]

Very helpful!! Should try to find a way to share with cheerleading community. They have to stand on one leg to pull positions and often the balance is lost from dropping of the hip. This could be a game changer!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

That's a great idea!

[@sampleit1]

Excellent video again, would this help with over pronation also?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Yeah definitely will help! Add the various foot/ankle techniques I have here on KZbin and that's a great start as the ankle drill is more isolated while this drill integrates different joints.

[@sampleit1]

Thanks for the reply Eric, excellent I will incorporate that into my correction routines. Ps thanx to you I am 70% corrected in posterior pelvic tilt and kyphosis atm (after 20 Yrs I might add ) so now tackling the lower leg. 👍

[@anitanayak8042]

Terrific video..thanku

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Thanks for following along.

[@Peeegoska]

Thank you! I have been dealing with a knee pain for about a year and recently started to follow your videos, hoping to buy your Lover limb control this week! However, how often (and how long) would you recommend doing these (and similar) exercises? I would like to get my feet fixed (overprontation) as soon as possible obviously (so sometimes I end up doing an hour or more of your exercises a day haha) but not sure if it's not too much for the body if it was in a bad position for 25 years. Thanks and looking forward to the course!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You are welcome! You can practice this material every other day and should expect to see improvements between 2 - 4 weeks with consistent practice. You can do too much and need your body to adapt to the exercises properly so stick to practicing 15-20 min routines every other day or so. - Team PM

[@Peeegoska]

@@PrecisionMovementCoach Thanks🥰 !!

[@sarasadiq6918]

This is a great exercise for ballet dancers and figure skaters! Thanks for making this

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You're so welcome!

[@gregd166]

Skiers too!

[@andrewpershouse2463]

Really good content Eric. How would you recommend doing these exercises without a resistance band?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Thanks! You can do the exercises without a resistance band but you won't get the same balance perturbation effect. There's not really any way to recreate that stimulus. - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@Valdesgreen]

Eric, how do I set up the strength band the way you have it at home? Don't really want to drill any of my walls. Any sugggestions? Thanks so much!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You could use a sturdy railing or piece of furniture.

[@Mr28fantasma]

Thank you Eric!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

My pleasure!

[@sqldev9380]

Perfect!! Thank you

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You're welcome!

[@shannonhutchinson999]

I have a painful bunion in one foot so I've been told by my podiatrist that I should never go barefoot. Is it okay to do these exercises with shoes on or will that defeat the purpose?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Try with and without :)

[@guadalupeinescastillo8635]

Hey Eric thanks for the video ! Would you think this would help if mix this drill with the single leg squat or Bulgarian split squats ?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Adding the band to those other exercises will definitely increase the balance challenge aspect of the movement and target stabilizing muscles. I do recommend that but only when you are ready for those movements.

[@alishaer2756]

Should i do this daily or every other day? And holds of 30-60 secs for like how many reps or sets?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Experiment to see what works best for you :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@Uso88g]

My foot is weak as & im jst starting too do this more & im 15 weeks late doin my excersie & I’m still limping hopefully this helps

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Keep us posted on your progress :)

[@versecannon3651]

Are these exercises suitable for lateral pelvic shift?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Potentially and it's worth a try. Also, check this out: www.precisionmovement.coach/how-to-fix-pelvic-tilt/ - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@sandraredmond4812]

What if you dont have a strap like you show?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

The exercise still works without the band so please try it out :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@alexanderfick8074]

Hi there. Are these exercises part of either the LLC or HC courses? Rgds

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Yup! They are in LLC :)

[@alexanderfick8074]

@@PrecisionMovementCoach Great! Then I'll meet them :)

[@pvspeaks]

How do I do this without a resistance band at the wall? 😂 Will a strap around a door knob work?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Yes or you can purchase or make a door anchor. - Team PM

[@sojournern]

What about if you don't have the resistance?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

It still works you will just be missing one stabilization component :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@hanoitripper1809]

Hi, I'm wondering if someone has VMO weakness and patellar maltracking issues if this can help? Thnx

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Yes :) Head over to www.precisionmovement.coach/?s=vmo for more info on that.

[@atulnehra9894]

Sir,can u talk to me in hindi

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

I wish that I could! Multi-lingual translations are part of my future plans for my material.
