Thank you!
Great video. Thanks for sharing!

My scapula are such a mess
Give some of these a try and fire any questions or things you'll like to see in future videos here
I feel the burn
Excellent! As indended
Can this be done with increased weights? I been doing this on a pully with 20 pounds
Yes it can. This general movement is difficult and can't do large amounts of weights
This is a very well explained and demonstrated set of exercises. I have saved it to my playlist and will work along to the video until my memory can do them without referral to the video. I broke my collar bone some 60 years ago and it has always been my weaker side ever since. If it is all muscular then, I ought to be able to balance both sides to become equally strong - I hope. Subscribed.
Thank you for the feedback and sharing your story. There will definitely be room to improve. Muscle adaptation occurs over many months. So be gradual and progressive. Comment any questions you may have. Cheers
🎉
Thank you
I understand people need exercises they can do at home, but do you think abductor & glute machines at gyms are good training options?
Adductor and glute machines are good accessories. However, they do not train single leg stability as I described in the video. But they can help build up strength in the area
😮
I got this after TKR. So painful. I have to press around the fibula head when trying to bend my knee. 😢 incredibly painful. Keeps me from progressing.
Very common after total knee replacement. Due to changed biomechanics from post surgical weakness. I will be making a Knee OA and TKR video this week if you want to follow to see
@ oh yes!
Hi will these help with shoulder impingement? Third exercise hurts too much!
Hi! If you have shoulder Impingement already, then these exercises are likely to advanced because they are putting lots of strain on full length. You can trial the ones that feel okay, but they're mostly to prevent muscle shortening
@ thank you for replying back!
thank you
You're welcome
I have just been told I have an LCL tear (stable but won’t repair itself), how do I know if it’s the LCL or ITB causing my sharp pain? Thank you
Depends on the mechanism of injury. It very well could be an LCL tear. Which will take time and proper exercise to recover on its own
Dumb
Thanks for the feedback!
I just do laundry without a washing machine😂😂 It boosts my squat, too.
Love it!!
Thank you. Of all the RUclipsrs giving me advice on IT band pain, you are the first to make sense for my situation. Yes: weak glutes is my problem. Ever since I’ve had my hip replacement on the right 3 years ago, my right glutes have been very weak. So when I moved inside from hiking to jogging the on the boring gym track I developed the worst pain ever in my right IT. It has taken a week of narcotics and rest to get back to normal. Now I know what to do : fix my glutes and quit jogging 😂❤
Hip replacements are definitely a long rehab journey. Due to it being such a big surgery the glutes definitely atrophy and need lots of focus to rebuild. I'll be making future videos on hip OA, THR and exercises
Hey there, thanks so much for the video it’s got me motivated to start running again after constant IT band issues. I have realised that my left leg is significantly weaker than my right for example I can do the one leg box squats easily on my right but really struggle on the left. My questions is should I be doing more to focus on the weaker leg or just do equal sets and reps on each leg until they balance out? Thanks again!
I'm glad to hear you're feeling motivated! I would do an extra set on the left or several extra reps on the left. For example 2 sets right and 3 sets left :) I hope that helps!
Omg thank you mate you saved me In the last couple of years, my glutes and hips especially my left side got very stiff and I always had this pain in my left knee I just tried your exercises and after excruciating pains, I started feeling so much better and the pain in the left knee vanished Thank you so much ❤
Excellent to hear! Well done
Why do you recommend ice instead of heat? It was my understanding that heat helps promote blood flow and ice will reduce blood flow. If this is the case wouldn’t we want more blood flowing to the area?
This is in regards to pain relief. Ice has a good analgesic effect (anti pain) for short periods for bones/ligaments/bursa. Ice does not do anything else other than that. The problem with Ice is it too easy to over Ice and cool the tissue too much.Long term heat is the best for muscles and surrounding tissues for blood flow. At the end of the day, whatever your preference is.
Im a new runner, I have itbs injury 2 months ago, i assume the cause is my left foot is a lil bit flat foot and i increase my mileage too fast, My question is , do i need the stability running shoes because my left foot a lil bit flat or still with neutral shoes sir ? Thankyou
The question is have you tried correcting your foot arch on your own? See my video Foot Health for more information. If you cannot correct your own arch through exercise then support can be necessary
Great information 🎉
Only guy ive seen actually make towel row viable (for beginners at least, no hate)
Cheers !
very nice content
Thank you for the watch!
Great 😮 exercises... I see the application and benefits. I will incorporate these into martial arts classes.
I think some of these beginning ones for mobility would be great for martial arts!
Nice!!!!
Very good video! I recently ran a marathon and I started having IT band issues about 6 days after. I will definitely add these exercises to training! Right now I find everyday moving is fine with no pain but once I start running about 1 mile my IT band discomfort starts to creep back so I immediately stop. For now, I know I should not run. How do I know when I can start running again?
I am glad you enjoyed. Two things I would recommend. First: you should be training with those exercises for 2 sets of 10 reps and working up to 15 to 20 reps to focus on endurance for running. Second, I wouldnt stop running all together because you will decondition, I would reduce pace or add breaks before discomfort kicks in or shorten the distance and gradually build up
@@physiobrake Okay thanks for the advice. I will try this!
I have knock knees and diagnosed with IT band syndrome for a life-long pain i have on my left knee. My physio also prescribed me with similar movement ☺️ thank you for sharing, please keep posting more stretches for ITb syndrome 🙏
Thanks for sharing and watching! I will

Hi, i'm a graphic designer and video editor. You have been posting very fine content, & I recently emailed you regarding my proposal to re-design your thumbnails to boost the click rate & increase engagement of your videos aswell as to edit your videos. I wanted to see if u had a chance to review it, thank you!
Great point ☝️ thanks 🙏
Thank you!!
Cramping in the feet from weightlifting. I have had in both top and bottom of foot. Although I should do more ankle flexion and tibialis raises
Definitely add both of those and single leg heel raises off a ledge. Lots of people are good at doing double leg heel raises on the machine, but natural walking biomechanics our calves take our full body weight. So training them single leg is key. Goodluck with it!
I tried the stretches, they are good to fire the deeper muscles. Thanks
Excellent, I am happy to hear it
Good exercises, thanks.
You're welcome
Hi bro, what about serratus pulldown?
Technically the serratus pull down doesn't actually target you serratus anterior. As the serratus anterior only does protraction of the scapula. The lower fibers of traps, rhomboids etc are working on serratus pull down
@@physiobrake Thank you very much
WOW!!! 😮, I just read the first page of your book #COUCHtoFIT and then I clicked on the first link, to this first video. The content is amazing and easy to follow, even for somebody who's been sitting on the couch. I love the fact that this is evidence-based and clearly communicated. Nicely done 👍✅
Thank you so much!
hi, I'm a beginner in running. after running for 5km last sept 9 i did some stretching when i got home, one of the stretches is low lunge squad stretch & i think this is how i hurt the outer side of my left knee. in that stretch, I'm supposed to pull my feet at the back right? but i didn't do it coz I can't, after that stretch my knee hurts. i thought its just the same pain i feel whenever i kneel down for a lil longer but when i run again the next day, after 1km i started to feel the knee pain when i run so i just stop running. I think overuse my knee that day, running for 5km then low lunge for too long 😭 u think it's IT syndrome? but the pain doesn't reach my hip
Sounds more like quad Tendinopathy. I would recommend adjusting your running volume, modify the stretch to feel it but so it isn't too painful, and add quad stengtheninf
@@physiobrake omg i think u're right! i searched about quad tendinopathy and it sounds more accurate in my case. i'll take note of ur advice to get rid of this pain 😭 thank u so much for the response ^^
Commenting to find this later in case can't find this later xD
I got you
Perfect timing! Very helpful, thank you.
Glad to hear you enjoyed! Goodluck
I got this I’m not sure if it was a combo of doing leg presses, trying to do split squats with poor stability and leg kick backs. How long does it take for this injury to recover? Those exercises right now are too painful.
It can take anywhere from 2 to 12 weeks depending on how acute or chronic it is. If they're too painful you can try easier versions of then
So basically hip muscle imbalances cause a CRANKY ITB?!
Yes
Can I do this in the 2nd day of my knee still in pain?
Yes you can try
👏👏
Cheers
Can you make a video on how to recover from muscle tightness
Yes I can!
Hello sir , when i do the scratch test i have large space between my fingers with tightness
That can mean one or two things. A. Poor shoulder joint mobility, need to work on shoulder range of motion exercises. Happens after injuries B. Poor shoulder flexibility or muscles. Need to work on stretches
@@physiobrakeany exercises suggestions for both please !?
How to make the back flat on ground? We need to suck belly in pushing to the ground or anythng else ?
You don't actually need to have your back flat. It's most important your spine is in a comfortable position for you, then brace your core by sucking in your belly button. You should still be able to breathe while your core is braced
@@physiobrake thank u for the reply. Also I saw in a video there should be no movement in spine or hip. It’s not possible for me to do that. Yes it won’t come off the ground n no arch will be there but there wil be slight moving in lower back. How is it possible to not make movement in spine at all.
@@DanielSmith-fm4fs that's the ultimate goal. It will take practice getting stronger before you don't move in the spine. It's not harmful however so keep practicing
@@physiobrake ah I see. Thank you. I have started practicing and today is little easier than yesterday. Thank you so much for the help
@@DanielSmith-fm4fs awesome! Cheers
I happened to get this a second time, but now on my other knee (long distance hiking). Tendons/ligaments are so hard to understand. You often feel the pain in another place than the root cause area ( in this case the glute, hips and/or hamstring). Thanks for the information, much appreciated!!!
Glad it can help! These things can happen multiple times!
Sir in IT band can I run 😅
You can run as tolerated
Brother i am feeling this pain since 7-8 months when i did x ray and MRI. The report says effusion and fluid in the knee joint 😢.. what to do.. there is no such tear like miniscus, ACL, PCL.... please reply 😢
Did you try these exercises?
@@physiobrake yes I did
