Never comment in KZbin videos. For a year and some months, I’ve had back and hip issues take me away from college basketball. I didn’t think I’d be able to fix these issues and started looking away from the game. I just started doing these exercises today, and for the first time in forever my back feels usable and I can walk and move correctly. You saved my basketball career.

[@lindasalvaterra1304]

Wow! Thank you! These exercises help so much to feel stronger. I've always had bad posture. Forward head and shoulders. A lot of neck pain. If I only had the internet when I was young could have saved myself a lot of pain and fatigue. Always too tired. But it was because I was out of alignment. Just feel so much better, more energetic after doing these exercises. Just trying to hold shoulders back doesn't work. Gets tiring and they don't stay that way.

[@troyforklifthill9254]

Amazing. You’ve helped me so much. I’m a tree guy and lift 5 days a week. Very thankful for the flexibility and strength you’ve helped me with. My lower back, hips and knees feel so much better.

[@calebw.8270]

the amount of care you have for other people as shown by the detail you put into your videos is truly inspiring

[@Camm604]

I think, in the 1st stabilizing exercise, an EXTRA emphasis on tightening the core would help some people like me... I forgot that step and felt a sharp pain in my weaker shoulder... Tightening my core, specifically my lower abs, made all the difference.

[@JennWatson]

That knee cushion looks so comfortable! I'm starting these exercises today- Thank you! 🙏

[@MattPoyntermusic]

The only video I’ve seen that actually explains what this exercise is for. Thank you!

[@philbrosgol8137]

I'm a little doubtful about twisting the lumbar spine under load. It's a light load but my understanding is that the last exercise (squat with rotation) puts your lower discs at risk. Would love to see a comment or response to this concern; even if it's not an issue when done correctly it seems like an easy thing to mess up with too much weight

[@Music-gw4qf]

Yah, is this a problem?

[@AadetTube]

Your discs are at risk from any heavy weightlifting anyway, and degenerative changes happen as you age no matter what. Should you get a herniated disc it will in vast majority of cases be healed after a few weeks. A lot of healthy people even have herniated discs without it causing any symptoms.

[@Xtroninater]

This would be correct if you were using heavy weights, but this exercise shouldn’t be done with weight progression. This is a mobility/stability exercise not a strength exercise. Just choose a decent weight for your personal strength and limits from 5-25 lbs and try it with that. Only go heavier if you need to to feel the stabilizing muscles engage.

[@jamesdavis-ford6882]

I wish I could give multiple likes for the content and for having Adriell Mayes in the video. I enjoy his KB programming a great deal.

[@schroederluck7984]

#1 you need to address proper breathing technique/the diaphragm. These exercises are only good if you’re not stuck in overextension to compensate for a limited ribcage which exists due to improper diaphragmatic breathing. Jamming people into more extension when they’re already overextended (anterior pelvic tilt, tight anterior neck muscles, depressed ribcage/sternum) is bad. You might LOOK like your posture is bad, but that could simply be because you’re not extending your torso properly with your inhalation.

[@hurrBl]

How to identify if you have this issue and fix it?

[@schroederluck7984]

@@hurrBl if your posture sucks and you also have a flared ribcage or anterior pelvic tilt or you feel your neck working way too hard to breathe, then you’re probably overextended and shouldn’t be doing these exercises. Look up posture videos by Conor Harris and he’ll help you out

[@mikezappulla4092]

@@schroederluck7984this is not entirely accurate. There is solid evidence based research that proves this. I’ll stick with the Olympic athlete physical therapist over your personal trainer.

[@schroederluck7984]

I started doing the windmill stretch for a few weeks now and my posture has improved greatly. My back automatically doesn't want to slouch anymore, it keeps itself straight on it's own.

Sometimes, changing something physical can actually improve your mental health. This isn’t always true, but we shouldn’t overlook how big of an impact something like exercise, stretching or diet can have on depression. If you can get your body to the point where it’s flexible and strong enough to have good posture, it may help!

[@Randude14]

I still don't see the one thing that helped me tremendously was just learning to relax those muscles more. I feel like a lot of people would just benefit from that more than anything else. As Dr Mcguill has said before: You can hold onto a 1 pound weight all day but your muscle will eventually tire out. Learn to let that weight go. It has certainly helped me more than anything. This and just making sure your environment is setup in a way so that you can relax those muscles.

Can you please do some more videos on fixing tech neck and thoracic pain? I sit at a desk programming 8 hours a day and I need serious help 😅

[@Direblade11]

Start with this first. But basically, 1 minute isometric exercises help temporarily after a 30 seconds stretch. The stretch is always opposite of the cause: look up to stretch your neck & bring shoulder blades towards your spine using a wall to push your elbow. You'll feel it in the armpit (ish). For pushes, hold a push into some form of resistance. e.g. place the flat of your head against the wall and do a diagonal plank using your head to support your body for 1min. For shoulder blades, try squeezing them together while against the wall. You want the wall to stop you from moving too far, and to hold the push the whole time. Try SquatU's advice, and if it doesn't help try my bad advice

[@ginarhine8525]

I would recommend mastering the FMS Rib Grab and T spine rotation, then Egoscue's Upper Spinal Floor Twist, because you will be much more successful.
