Single Leg Balance Drill | Improve Balance and Hip Stability

[@Christhebomb88]

Amazing how you said that you came from many surgeries that caused imbalances and yet you are here teaching me and showing me that nothing is impossible 👍🏽

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You got it!

[@rsd3637]

nothing is impossible Ive found this quite interesting especially as i have to stand on one leg, balled due to the amputation of my other leg

[@rsd3637]

balanced on my good leg, to be clear

[@jamesphillips523]

I am a Bird with problems standing on one leg. This really helped, I really needed this to stay warm.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

I'm glad that it helped.

[@hawleyminn]

I am a private yoga teacher and your videos have given me new ways to assist my students. Excellent, clear instructions. This one is perfect for those working on warrior 3. Collapsing into the hip is a common problem.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Happy to help!

[@ER-yeah]

Thank you! Its making a big difference with my “weaker” side.

Thanks. I have poor balance overall. Now learning to ice skate, and balance is important. One leg is better than the other one. Weak leg hardly any stability or balance. Your video is really helpful. Will definitely practice what you teach.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You are welcome!

[@TruFlyFox]

I'm going to try this! I have had joint dysplasia leading to SEVERE arthritis and to an early hip replacement. I found that years of limping has caused atrophy of my deep stabilizer muscles, they start to cramp if I try to even stand on one leg. I can't actually walk without a single leg stand! I'm young and using a walker 😢 and I can't wait to lose it. Here's to using your video.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Keep us posted on your progress :)

@@PrecisionMovementCoach Absolutely true - didn't mean - just - women - Only thinking that women /typically/ have wider hips and so many women in my surrounding complain of the very same hip issues I do - so was thinking about them and how they've benefitted from me telling them about your video.

[@lw7654]

Hi Eric, I have left instability/trendelenburg gait. My question is, my ql on that side w/any type of strengthening for that left side starts hurting. Pulling on my last rib, lumbar area and sometimes sij. I think, am pretty sure my right leg is shorter, not structurally but due to either my left side instability or just general tightness on the right side. Would it still help me to do this exercise and is there away I can get the ql to calm down while doing it. It becomes so darn painful. Thank you!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

great video . my problem is that my foot is not stable

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

In what way is your foot not stable? It may help you if you start with the same exercise but reach out to a wall or sturdy object for support. - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@charbelbassil9973]

@@PrecisionMovementCoach i feel the need to retract my toes.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

That is ok :) Your toes should participate as should all of the muscles in the feet. Check out the "Strong Feet 1" routine in the ROM Coach app for more ideas on strengthening your feet: ROM Coach www.precisionmovement.coach/rom-yt - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@emanuele6262]

Whenever I stand on my left leg, my pelvis and belly button rotates towards the right... Can't see a real drop on the opposite side, is more of a rotation. I can't seem understand which muscle I should focus on to be able to stay straight. Can it be weak left hip abductor and tight adductors?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

It's definitely a combination of things. Are you able to prevent that compensation pattern at all by activating the muscles that you think are weak?

[@Theodinsson]

My whole left leg is less stable. It goes down from my calf being less muscular, my foot pronating, up to my left glute and glute med being weaker. I have had many problems on this side already. Do you have any time lines for how long it takes to improve stability ?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

I'm glad that you found my material and I know that it will help you out. It's hard to say how long it will take you to improve because everyone responds differently. You should notice progress after 1-2 weeks of daily practice.

[@angrahell]

Thank you :)

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You're welcome :)

[@angrahell]

@@PrecisionMovementCoach I have a massive hip shift standing on my right leg if I don't stand tall, my abs go crazy trying to stabilise me. Doing it your way before even 2 minutes, some muscle in my hip was actually shaking with the strain, but I didn't feel any effort in the rest of the body which was nice

[@DontLookAtMuh]

Hopefully this helps me when I’m skateboarding, I can’t push because keeping my balance on one leg is so hard for me

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

I think that it will :)

[@TrinityNyekenye]

My hips are natural but one is big the other one is small.... what can I do

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

It's hard to give very specific advice without seeing you but it sounds like you can work on increasing the muscle bulk in your smaller leg. - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@peter-5354]

So it's not the glute med? Everyone is saying how the glute med is responsible for everything, including balancing the fiscal budget. So it's the deep glutes (obturator, gamellis, piriformis etc..). Interesting.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

The glute med *may* be involved, but if it is there's usually something else also at play.

[@mrstevek118]

Does this help with a person that had a stroke. I’m paralyzed on one side

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Potentially. You will definitely have to modify it to suit your capabilities and use as much assistance as you need. It's worth exploring this type of exercise using the guidance of your primary care physician or therapist. Any kind of movement is important for you to recover as much as possible. - Coach Joshua, Team PM

i cannot do the exercise, as i cannot balance my feet. My feet keep unbalanced. any tips to do this exercise ?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

How about if you practice by gently holding on to a tall object or wall for support? Also try to press the ball of your foot into the ground and maintain that pressure throughout your attempts.

Only move as far as you can maintain the foot pressure. It will improve over time.

This is the best video on the internet. I'm a post stroke for many years. I have a weak right side gluteus. Eric, would any forms of movement which cause the right abductor sore help to stregthen the abductor?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Thanks for your kind words. I don't really understand your abductor question.

[@EmpowermentAvenue888]

@@PrecisionMovementCoach Thank you Eric. You video inspired me. I have been trying to walk, but my balance is terrible. I would like to practise my sigle leg stabding first. One of main problem is leg supporting around gluteus. I can't do one leg supprt while the other is lifted. I figured one of the purpose of this exercise is to make the gluteus work. As long as the gluteus is sore, it indicates it is stimulated. Can I reason like that?
