thank you! been struggling with all these problems for a while, wasn't able to get pretty far into the stretch at all but immediately felt a strech in my quad and relief in my hips, imma do this every day
"Your hips are locked, so here's the key!" Underappreciated wit here. You seem like an incredibly cool dude to hang out with man haha, thanks for all your great videos!
Wow, I’ve been hyperextending for months on my lifts and have had serious hip flexor pain and now knee and lower back pain. This was so informative. Thanks!
So strange, I've been doing a mobility lessons with a professional movement couch, and she love the two types couch stretch for frontal split and bridge. She say roll your pelvis forward, keep your back up, move the back and the pelvis towards the wall, don't lean on anything with your hands. I cant perform this no matter how hard I try, and I think most of the class struggles too. First the knee hurts, so I put 2 pillows below it, she says there is a way to lean near the knee and not on the knee itself, but I feel I can't master it. Second, without leaning on nothing the quads of the leg that steps forward shaking like hell, it unbearable from 30s and up. What does it mean? You didn't mentioned the quad of the supporting leg during the exercise, what should I do to overcome this? I'm working on it for 4 months with no significant improvement. It maybe getting worst. I feel I can do it only if I put my hands on bar for support, and then I can deepening the stretch
i always squeeze my glute to get a tilt on the pelvis and increase the stretch on the quads, are yiu actually saying dont do that? or is your queue to raise the pubic bone the same thing?
If you have Anterior Pelvic Tilt, or a habit of collapsing your pelvis onto your Thighs, when sitting. Your Squeeze, may be bypassing the True "Stretch" of the upper Thigh/Hips. Try holding in your stomach as you raise into the position (Vertically) and see you have a different sensation than usual.
@@GrownandHealthy thanks, i think i must be getting it right then as it feels the same, i have been doing this stretch fairly regularly for a while, was good to see your take on it, im always trying to refine and learn
I've been watching a ton of your content, love it. I've changed the way I walk to completely fore/midfoot and it's giving me a ton of benefits. I see you're breathing through your mouth for these stretches. In my opinion you should be able to maintain any/all stretches with nasal breathing. I myself only nasal breathe to eat and speak and that practice has made me feel fantastic. Hope this helps you back in some way. Thanks for your work, appreciate you!
This is wonderful content. I have been taking stretch classes and yoga and my quads and hip flexors are so tight. So grateful for these exercises. Looking forward to my knees and lower back also getting some reprieve
Keşke dil çeviri de koysayfınız ben türküm ne yazık ki konuşmanızı anlamıyorum😢yürürken sol dizim boşluğa düşmüş gibi oluyor ne yapa bilirim bir öneriniz varmı😢
Wonderful content! I’ve spent thousands on doctors on my back and literally just needed to release my hip flexors. It’s a shame medical professionals don’t know this. Doing this with deep tissue massage, and changing my shoes to zero drop have done wonders for me!
I went to a physical therapist for lower back and glute pain, they showed me this stretch but did not explain it as perfectly as you. I was absolutely bypassing the intended stretch the enitre time instead of slowly working my bottom back to my heel. Can't wait to try this before my run tomorrow.
Hi from India. I started watching months back your videos, and you have helped me to a great extent in improving my gait and posture. I am not using barefoot shoes yet, and walking barefoot in the countryside amidst fields is an absolute delight. The effort you put in explaining all facets of it is professionally optimal. Take a bow. I have been using the post-walk stretches you've suggested. And what are the warm-up exercises for barefoot walking you would suggest? I have watched the one on preparing arches and the one to open the glutes, and they are invaluable. And I am thinking more of a video where you could gather all required warm-up exercises before hitting the path barefoot. Thanks a ton again.
I know this stretch, but I've probably been doing the over extending you mention. Your demo of the deadlift made me wonder if kettlebell swings often have this hyperextension at the height of the swing when you squeeze your glutes. Thoughts?
You videos have really helped me improve my control of my kicks! My hip used to click and pop when I was doing certain movements like front kick and I had always attributed it to bad genetics. I've trained with multiple instructors form different martial arts and none of them had a really good answer on how to fix it. Not trying to shame them, but since learning about hip mobility and the exercises on how to improve it, its really been a game changer all around! Since doing many stretches and exercises from this channel, as well as upright health, no more clicking! And my balance is better, my kicks are faster and harder, i get less winded! Not to mention any lower back pain I had from long training sessions is now pretty much gone! Long winded way to say, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world like this!
Yes, but it will involve a transition of your patterns. With your center of gravity in its rightful place, you will feel less strain and a better sense of balance.
Thank you for the video:) I'm so happy to have discovered your channel - been watching you for a couple of months now. I do like your gentle manner of speech:)
Hey Do you have any good exercises/stretches for anterior ankle impingement? I got a nasty ankle sprain some years ago and after that my left ankles dorsiflexion is really limited.
Hello, I have/ had hip flexor injuries from running and when I tried this exercise I realized how unflexibel my quads are. Could my injury be become of this? I always thought it was because of weak and tight hips
But it has a short term relief. And it could be even dangerouse to do so.if you had had a injury you could be making it worse with stretching. The best thing to do is to release muscle trigger points and then strengthen the glutes and the core
I have tight hip muscles and right ischial tuberosity bursitis which burns when I sit on it, do SLR on right side or hinge to pick up things, or walk. I have overcompensated for this with my right leg and now have left medial arch . tendinitis and left medial knee pain ! I am so tight I cannot get my leg into the position against the wall for the couch stretch. What other stretches could I try? Thank you for sharing your tremendous wealth of knowledge with us….you are so professional and calming to watch and listen to.
Wow this makes so much sense to me. Thank you for giving so much detail. I have been having so many issues with my right leg. Feeling so extremely tight when I walk and after watching this video I can see I have been doing all of this things that are causing my problem to get worse. Thank you so much
Hii love from India can u pleaseeee make a video on outside rotated elbows. This is giving me problem while walking it will be helpful for me thanks in advance❤️
I do hope you can respond to this. But rewatching I am beginning to understand that keeping the hip in the pocket is very important could you dedicate a video on how to keep the hip in its pocket and how to extend thanks I would really appreciate it thanks
when you talk about hyper extending, is this the same for kettlebell swings. stay away from any hyper extention? Pavel video about kettlebell swings shows him hyper extention, this is a mistake?
btw way I was born with pretzel legs and had them broken and corrected so I have ascar on my left ankle, so this has caused problems and now I am finding out one flat foot is causing problems. just to add some context about me.
You would need to provide a reference for me to see. I wouldn't presume someones movement quality, especially if they are wearing loose clothing. I have seen a few Pavel Videos, demonstrating is hardstyle swing.. And I have never seen him hyperextend. Please post the reference.
Hi again, a great video. I have a video request and a question. Do you have quadriceps and back of leg strengthening videos to strengthen walking? I also know that walking in traditional sneaker shoes is very difficult compared to barefoot. When I step in a traditional shoe, my heel constantly touches the ground (hard) on the first step. Is this normal?
This honestly just changed my life
I’ve been doing this wrong forever
So much tension relieved already
THANK YOU BROTHER
thank you! been struggling with all these problems for a while, wasn't able to get pretty far into the stretch at all but immediately felt a strech in my quad and relief in my hips, imma do this every day
DUDE thank you SO much for the effort you put into this! So immensely helpful.

Amazing content! I haven't seen it explained in such detail anywhere else.
Hi great video as always. Keep up the great work. Also Could you make a video on the core and ankle stacking thanks
Great suggestion!
This is so helpful! You let content is truly outstanding and practical. Thanks so much!
Awesome video, exactly what I needed to know about hip posture. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

I can’t even get into position. My quads are screaming! Why
Tight Quads and Hips.Reduce the intensity by Leaning forward, use hands as support, as I show in the video.
It’s so hard to even get to 90 degrees 😭
i always squeeze my glute to get a tilt on the pelvis and increase the stretch on the quads, are yiu actually saying dont do that? or is your queue to raise the pubic bone the same thing?

The couch wall stretch is torture for me.
Start slow
First
Are you single?

Thanks for watching!
I concur with the nasal breathing... I am usually in the mode of talking through these exercises, So I will revert unconsciously.
This is wonderful content. I have been taking stretch classes and yoga and my quads and hip flexors are so tight. So grateful for these exercises. Looking forward to my knees and lower back also getting some reprieve

Excellent content. Well paced, very well spoken and explained. Thank you!
I don’t get how your butt cheek isn’t touching your heel? I have my heels inline with my butt, is there a difference?
Wonderful content! I’ve spent thousands on doctors on my back and literally just needed to release my hip flexors. It’s a shame medical professionals don’t know this. Doing this with deep tissue massage, and changing my shoes to zero drop have done wonders for me!
Trying to fix my jumpers knees. Gonna try this and see if it helps
Out of curiosity, did this help?
@@_noahrh a little bit still a work in progress

Thank u bro for these valuable information I was hyperextending hips in vertical position
I know this stretch, but I've probably been doing the over extending you mention. Your demo of the deadlift made me wonder if kettlebell swings often have this hyperextension at the height of the swing when you squeeze your glutes. Thoughts?
Yes! Especially If you feel like your Low Back is disproportionately strained after.
You videos have really helped me improve my control of my kicks! My hip used to click and pop when I was doing certain movements like front kick and I had always attributed it to bad genetics. I've trained with multiple instructors form different martial arts and none of them had a really good answer on how to fix it.

Thanks. I'm glad you found the videos helpful!
"Bad" Genetics, in regards to the Hips is often just movement patterns.
I saved this video it’s very helpful I use it as a warmup before I start climbing the stairs with dumbbells
Are barefoot shoes better for long term joint and leg health?
Yes, but it will involve a transition of your patterns.
With your center of gravity in its rightful place, you will feel less strain and a better sense of balance.
Thank you for the video:)
I'm so happy to have discovered your channel - been watching you for a couple of months now.

Hey
Do you have any good exercises/stretches for anterior ankle impingement? I got a nasty ankle sprain some years ago and after that my left ankles dorsiflexion is really limited.
I will post one, that has worked for me.

I also know that walking in traditional sneaker shoes is very difficult compared to barefoot. When I step in a traditional shoe, my heel constantly touches the ground (hard) on the first step. Is this normal?
This channel is centered around barefoot shoes and being barefoot. All information on this channel is presented through that viewpoint.
@@GrownandHealthy so my second question answer is normal? Also, I like very much your channel
