The Pelvic Fault and Low Back Pain | Feat. Kelly Starrett | Ep. 128 | MobilityWOD

[@bradfarmer7713]

Kelly you are awesome! Just wanted to share a quick story about how you change lives: I had a pelvic fault and back spasms for almost 2 years in and out of a doctor and chiropractor that didnt fix anything. Finally came across this video and your book and since I started doing this about 3 months ago I am fully healed squatting and deadlifting 400lbs again. Also, my good buddy got a pelvic fault in the gym and spent a week with a doctor. When he was still on high dose of prescription vicodin after a week I told him I could use these techniques to help him. Immediately after he felt instantly better. You've saved my life and in the process helped me save others by paying it forward.

[@decathlete2000]

what did u do exactly?

[@krystalmoore3932]

Anyone with POSTCONCUSSION SYNDROME and ATLAS issues please read this to see, I hope it helps you too!! This is the first video of yours that I have watched Kelly! These exercises are great. When I watched this video, I had it on 2 times the speed because I needed to leave my house! Quickly before I left, I tried a modified version of your exercise for about 1 minute while standing and thought, why not? Oh my gosh!! Thank you for posting this, my eyes started focusing quicker and immediately, instead of "blurry vision" upon eye movement, everything looked normal again. It released my hip, which in turn released my atlas and whole back! When I got home about an hour later, I noticed my hip started getting tight again so I did a few stretches and the exercises as demonstrated. I am feeling great! This hip/midback/atlas tightness seems to be a never ending issue for me. I have post concussion syndrome and have had back and neck issues since 2014. Although I have been aware and helped myself through stretches and exercises I make up at home between chiropractic visits, this has been the most helpful in releasing my hip quickly, plus my atlas. I have to go to the chiropracter about 4 times a month to keep it in check because of a surprising incident with psoas muscle spasms about 3 months ago. (I believe this was due to the actual problem never being addressed fully 2 years ago, when I started getting Atlas orthogonal treatments) So now I have one more tool to use at home and hopefully less visits to the chiropractor. I have recently decided that I need a more regular regime of exercises to do at home to combat my back and neck issues and have been compiling ones that work for me so that one day I can say I have completely healed and I do not get any further issues. I will be ordering your book to see if you can help me on my journey! Thank God for KZbin and thank you again!!

I honestly, truly thought I had really messed up my back, but it was just my piriformis. I have had pain in the SI joint before, but the pain this time was in the center right above my sacrum. It felt like I had a herniated disk. I noticed some relief when stretching. The pain lost me a couple hours of sleep last night but I kept feeling the throbbing pain on my right glute which was radiating down the back of my thigh. Finally at work I was able to do some more stretching and work with the lacrosse ball. It wasn't until I put the ball between myself and the wall that I finally could put some good pressure on it and release it. The pain is 90% gone now. Just have to keep working it. Thank you so much for your free videos. I need to get The Supple Leopard now!

[@dmxninja7]

Dude you have summed up exactly the issues I'm having, thanks for the MFI (Multi-Faceted Intervention) ToolBox. We are all so grateful for your time. Des (CFV - UK).

[@ube2003]

Dude, this was so informative. You really know what your talking about and spoke well. Thank you very much!!!! Love the energy

[@danielswain126]

Love your videos. I get this every now and then. Tried this when I had the problem and it helped straight away!!! Big, big thank you.

[@corvinlord]

King! Thank you Kelly!

[@glanco5000]

Brilliant tutorial ! Great work Kelly

[@timdavis894]

Hey Kelly, I am 52 years old and have had a couple of issues that chiropractic adjustments have not been able to help. All on my left side. Tight pinched left shoulder, scapula, and neck and hip tightness. I had been using a tennis ball and getting some relief but when I found your videos and started incorporating your advice, I have virtually eliminated the issues in just over a week. You really know what you are talking about and I am sharing your videos with others. Greatwork!

[@Hako2004]

Thanks Kelly, good information, especially explaining which muscle groups to be aware of.

[@pipesmg]

Crossfit and chiropractic care is a must. Your mobility videos are awesome and I watch them to give my patients homework . I am a Chiropractor that crossfits and These mobility videos are great tools to educate on the biomechanical forces that impact the nervous system.

[@JorgeLopezOrrego]

you are a genius !!!!! love all your videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@gregorykahndc]

nice self applied MET I never saw that approach to pelvic roation in Greenmans Principles of Manual Medicine. keep up the good work

[@kevinrichter8678]

I have this problem, thanks for the advice!

[@erwdc]

you can try to work this out your self which may or may not help or you can see a chiropractor and then work the muscles Kelly indicates. It the quickest safest way to address this type of restriction

[@ryansullivan3423]

Ive been suffering from back pain for years and it finally got to the point where I cant work. My doctor kept telling me it was a pulled muscle in my back. Then this soft not formed on my right pelvis which he said was a lipoma. I got curious and started to google it and turns out it was my SI Joint. Now both joints keep going out and no doctor will look at it and confirm it. I fianlly found a new doctor who said he would treat. I hope he has the knowledge as Kelly because he is showing the exact excercises I need. This has been the most frustrating thing in my life. Having a doctor tell me I didnt know what I was talking about topped it off.

[@komalthecoolk]

Kelly! I've recently come across your stuff and your knowledge is incredible! Sadly most physios here in India don't think beyond what they've studied in their medical school. I get back spasms once every couple of months because of tight hamstrings and hips and some sudden movement. Can I do any of the things you suggested here on myself on my own?

[@stullsy21]

I've been in and out of alignment so many times now, I can tell exactly what's wrong by how my back feels now. All I do when this happens is move my hips in a circular motion (along with plenty of SMR) and everything eventually resets itself. The bad thing is when my hips get out of whack, it throws my thoracic spine out of wack too.

[@getchrismo]

Spin classes where you put too much emphasis on pulling and pushing on one leg are a nightmare for this...thanks coach!!

[@iamptm]

Thank you. Very helpful. Quality vid. 👍

[@johnnyappleseed6960]

Spot on!!!...A tilted pelvis is no joke...It will lock up your hip, and spasm the surrounding muscles until you say uncle.....Not to mention the lower back pain from doing anything requiring Twisting...

[@Underwaterer]

I also want to say that I am working away from having lordosis and I feel like that poor posture makes me prone to piriformis issues. I believe over extension of the hip when I was doing heavy weighted lunges all last week and not taking care of my glutes post workout is to blame for why they got so tight.

[@fistofodin1]

Tightness in the front of the hip, shooting pain in the lower back and butt cheeck, been dealing with and trying to figure out these exact symptoms for like 3 years and been trying to work them out.

[@TotalathletictherapyJAL]

Matt Bishop Keep getting the psoas loose (front of your hip) and start using your glutes when you stand. It will help reset your pelvis and can help you back pain. Check out Kelly's "couch stretch" for your quads as well. Good luck.

[@kenmlb1860]

ive been battling with issues of this nature. my question is - how do i fix this inbalances and lock up? it seems like my groin muscles are forever under tension. i did recover from an L5/s1 protrusion 4 years ago. cant seem to shake off my poor hip mobility meanly due to fear of some kind of relapse!! (mostly in my mind this fear). would greatly appreciate advance as i had another episode of what somes more like butt, groin and hip after squating, took me straight back to the hospital. havent had an episode like that in all most 2 years

[@StephanieMAllen]

Kelly, after a "back injury", most likely a herniated disk, I found that I need to fix my pelvis like you do in the video. Now I'm more in tune with my body and I can feel when I need to do it almost by how I'm walking and I make sure I hear that click before I go to squat or deadlift heavy. Anyway...I find that I need or want to do this once per week. Is that a big problem?

[@bigtonutz]

thanks brother!

[@LenBoatman]

My back was hurtin for certain when I found this video...distracting with the band made my back pop and I felt better immediately.

[@rosskstar]

Great video....but you need to add some image stabilization.

[@mousecatcher1]

@ratkins72 He said reverse hypers. You can search it and look for the ones with Louie Simmons (who invented it).

[@andrewdreiling11]

if this hurts you, your face goes numb, stop... sounds like good advice :)

[@Nikilwig]

I think he was referring to glute-ham raises but I could be wrong.

[@ratkins72]

Kelly, what did you say the West Side guys did to combat L5-S1 tightness? Peace.

[@hantizesso3406]

SUBSCRIBED !

[@timsargent3446]

Go see a Chiropractor first because that will re-align the pelvis first, then soft tissue work will help with lasting change. Bio-mechanics have to change before a problem is solved.

[@43Steelerss]

I'm currently seeing a PT. And when the osteopath did the evaluation 2 weeks ago, she found that my right hip lacked -- still lack -- mobility (i.e my right hip stay "stuck" behind, similar to an anterior pelvic tilt issue), whereas my left is fine. Should I do these cues?

[@aaronkrugel6278]

if kelly and elliot hulse combined brains, they probably have more knowledge then every human in the world combined.

[@ricosvan]

hate this stuff. I get the pelvic rotation, plus a lateral pelvic tilt. The lateral tilt wont be on one side, though. I'll wake up one day, and ill have one side higher. It is incredibly discouraging.

[@LeeMac92]

If my right hip is rolled back an left forward how do I do the push pull exercise? Which knee do I push and pull?

[@bradfarmer7713]

just do both sides for 3 or 4 counts of 5 secs and your pubic symphysis will reset properly.

[@paolaislas499]

i used to do high jumps from pick up trucks when we used to load them i believe thats why im having a twisted pelvic please help idk what to do my back hurts and so my knees im afraid i have to deal with this pain the rest of my life im only 26 please help

[@joeyoung8]

is there a way to contact u? to make a long story short i been dealing with bad low back pain for 5 years and recently made progress with a new pt that did movments u describe in this video but i recently had a set back... u might be able to help , use to be strong and compete in powerlifting but cant no more and it sucks horrilbley

[@ganxkmoney8721]

Possible that this causes antalgic scoliosis?

[@harrywagner9954]

Does anybody know the name of the corrective exercise that Kelly is performing in this video?

[@davesmith2675]

Muscle Energy Technique. They've been around for decades to help resolve joint imbalances

[@Reutzel507]

I like the TV

[@democracymanifest3247]

If you have a disc related flare up and get on the floor to perform this reset, this will only make it worse. Force lumbar flexion of the spine with grumpy disc and nerve roots? Not ideal.

[@Cin9999]

no actually just resetting can only be healthy vecause you just create normal position

[@KY.M19]

Yes

[@MrMRGamer1010]

Possibly

[@thestuff4321]

ok

[@kamranahmad5536]

do they know each other??

[@franciscafazzo3460]

why have none of the providers; especially chiropractors never been able to explain this? or anyone ! man i have suffered and given up deads,, and squats; etc

[@Houcnc]

frankie Cafazzo they probably learned they school

[@hom-sha-bom]

is elliot hulse a supple leopard?

[@V1X0]

Are you supposed to hear a crack/pop to 'confirm' it's reset? I only hear something (once) when I press my legs together with the pillow.

[@lauravo3355]

Same Question.

[@MrMRGamer1010]

@@lauravo3355 no

[@mmarrinan]

What does it mean if instead of a clunk I just feel a little click and no relief?

[@zanretsukenXII]

mobilitywodDOTcom and his book Supple Leopard.

Elliot is far from bro science. You'd know this is you watched his channel and weren't just trolling.

[@sswgaming]

Kelly Starrett forgets more than elliot knows

[@kevivarma2759]

Elliot was awesome back then, he introduced putting things together for fitness with recovery and structural integrity. Hope you are well though !

[@PureTruth]

Kelly, check out the unexplainable 'thing' that flies around you in your video with Marc Bell. 4:37 - 4:42 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHmkg4uHhdubmsUm37s Angels are real! :-)

[@MacroholicsAnonymous]

Reverse Hyper.
