Fantastic video! I've been hopelessly stretching my tight hamstrings and glutes for years and after such little progress it's great to have immediate relief after watching this. It makes so much sense that these sensations can be due to poor posture and neural tension instead of any muscle tightness. Thank you for helping me start to finally sort this out!

HenryGlanville glad to hear it!

[@Angie-fn8op]

Awesome!!!! Thank you so so much for sharing this gem!!! I'm totally amazed at the relief this brought!!!

[@Rechargexfit]

Glad to hear it!

[@tomashlavacek9463]

It usually takes me about 30 mins of warming up to do a proper squat. Just tried these two stretches at work and tested my squat afterwards. It was so comfortable and felt like all the muscles were firing propery, including my glutes. Thank you so much!

[@Hummingbird1880]

This is crazy, I just tried it and I got immediate relief. Why haven't I heard about this from any physios before wow!!

[@Rechargexfit]

🤷‍♂... glad it helped though!

[@darko7318]

I mean you are genius man.Is there anything we can do about this?

[@vinamra27rastogi]

Even my neck and back pain feels so much better with just one session! Will try it for a week and see what happens.

[@Rechargexfit]

Did it work?

[@jh_sports]

Does it make sense to include these two exercises into a regular routine? It already improved my hamstring Situation the first time but I’m wondering if this is only for instant relief or if it doing it more often brings more results

[@Rechargexfit]

Great question. It’s a start. Consistency is great in helping retrain the nervous system and the tissues it controls.

Hey, what are some preventive exercises or stretches someone can do?

[@Rechargexfit]

Great question. It varies person to person based on unique body variations. There is no one size fits all. If you are interested in working check out www.rechargemove.com

I actually get a cramp in my hamstrings with the second/quad test but i can easily touch my toes. Thoughts?

[@Rechargexfit]

Can’t specifically say why and cannot give medical advice on it. From a common occurrence stand point, could be couple things. First, being in the prone press up position involves the low back. So while the femoral nerve (nerve that works the quads) is challenged, there’s also extension of the lumbar (low back) spine. The other piece is by bending the knee it utilizes the hamstrings. Cramping can be a result of fatigue or limited capacity. It could be a combination of the above. Either way always a good bet to get checked out by a physical therapist.

I know this video has been out awhile. So not sure I'll get a response - in other words no one will see it to begin with lol. However taking a chance, i have a question re first move for hamstrings. I have osteoporosis. Can i still do this even though situps, crunches are a no no? Re the second move for the quad, is there a limit as to how far up and back i can arch back? Again because of osteoporosis. Thanks.

[@Rechargexfit]

Hey there! Osteoporosis doesn’t automatically mean you can’t do something. It will depend on your tissue tolerance and torque/stress on the bones. We have several members at Recharge that had osteopenia but are not anymore and similar with osteoporosis. Best recommendation is find a Physio or facility with experience in bone loading and progressive loading for individuals with diminished bone density. It will make a huge difference!

[@dominiquebrodoteau5135]

What could be the reason for knee popping or clicking? Is the culprit hamstrings or quads?

[@Dollwah]

i have the same problem, is it more in the kneecap for you? i’ve heard that when the quad string that’s connected to the kneecap becomes inflamed it grind and pulls on the kneecap which causes the kneecap to make those sounds.

[@dominiquebrodoteau5135]

@@Dollwah Mine is in the knee cap and absolutely painless.

[@Rechargexfit]

There are many possibilities that can cause various sounds within the knee region. Biggest thing is tracking whether there are new symptoms (swelling, pain, tenderness etc.). If it becomes irritable, then seeing your physical therapists is a good idea.
