This was life changing for me. I just realized that my tight lat on one side has been restricting my breathing and gait during running and has been negatively affecting my running performance and posture. It’s incredible how much it throws off so much of the rest of the body to compensate. Even my calves had tightness on that side compensating for the lat tightness.
Thanks bro, this literally changed my life.. I’ve been in physical therapy for a year now and no one isolated these specific problems, I’ve been self diagnosing for about eight months and your video was exactly everything I thought.. you’re a genius
Always crazy when the youtube algorithm recommends you something that you needed, this made a huge difference even after one stretch. Gonna be doing it 2x a day to help out my right lat, cheers Conor
Purchased the body restoration programme four weeks ago - I cannot believe the difference in such a short amount of time. I can finally sit in a chair without extreme discomfort. Thank you so much! Would HIGHLY recommend.
Does he talk as much in the program? I appreciate a little breakdown but I don’t have the time to filter through the video to figure out the best exercise.
I’ve been following you religiously, and purchased many programs!! Now I just seen you in Daru Strong video today!! For some reason, now I feel like Ive finally found the perfect pair of coaches!!! 🎉🎉
Finally ! I’ve been doing exercises since February, muscles improve but still can’t really walk. When I do Otago exercises on my own decision (PTs consider them only for the elderly), those lats hurt like hell and this got me convinced their importance is overlooked by PTs for their role in walking, whatever the patient’s age.
I have had back pain on my left side from 2008 every day. I have tried EVERYTHING (physiotheraphy, massage, fascia rolling, angel theraphy 😅😅😅, etc). I can’t believe this helped! Instant relief. Thank you so much! ❤
Wao amazing stretch, suffering from one side muscle tightness, my abdominal muscles are also contracting due to this and i am finding no solution at all, going to physiotherapist, doing exercises at home for 2 hours day and night but this strech immediately give a relief i can't tell great video thanku so much !!!!!!
This!! Just saved me today, with a simple and easy movement once again. Man, am I glad I found this channel. Every video has a beneficial movement/exercise for me. Every. Single. One. 🔥
Oh my! Thank you so much for sharing this stretch! It felt great and was just what I needed! For years I've struggled with pain in my right side back, rib cage, and clavicle. I think it could all be attributed to this muscle, never knew until now! Thank you!!
Wow, that's huge! I thought nothing's gonna save my right shoulder from being practically useless, but this one helped a lot after just 2 series. I've been looking for something to improve my shoulder mobility for pole and pilates and finally this is it. Thank you!
Omg I have been complaining about my low back rib cage for 3 yrs every time I get out of bed I am leaning to my left and sometimes can’t even sit in a chair everything hurts , did your stretch and what a miracle feel fantastic and I was getting ready to go to a chiropractor thank you
Yes, the answer comes right way. It's amazing how the muscle responds to this stretch right away. The muscle length returns to its neutral state. It feels really godt. Give it a try!
Oh wow, this one shows how much is going on in the left side of my body! Could hardly get a breath in and out on that side only. I'll add it to the first phase on beginner program I purchased last week. Thank you for all that you so generously share here Conor! As a visual learner, your videos and style are perfect for me.
This is excellent! I have a tight right side down to the pelvis ...plus an internally rotated right shoulder. This is the only stretch that I feel and makes a difference. Thank you!!!
Just wanted to say thank you for your wholeisitc approach in general. I have been quite the athletic sports guy who can do most fancy calisthenic/mobility stuff, is into yoga, running and team activities like volleyball...! But since i can remember doing sports properly (around age 15, now 39) i always had to deal with pain and injuries. This approach of yours (maybe of others too, but you are the one who reached me via youtube) is the only thing that really gets me quite pain free and performing well to my potential. I hope you will contine with your explanations in greater detail and go for other really important topics like joint anatomie/variations - cause no one does that properly.
I tried this for my stiff right upper back and shoulder and got immediate relief! Thank you! During the initial test, I could not rotate my right arm (while lying on my back on the floor) all the way UP - afterward I could, with no pain.
Thank you brother! I haven't been able to work for about 2 weeks, and came across this vid and tried the stretches, and it just f*cking got better. It's soo nice being pain-free! Again, thank you. You're a life savior!
2 sets, 4-8 breath cycles, 2x per day! Got it! I have lordosis and one shoulder higher than another. Starting this today. Will be back in a month for results
I have full external and external rotation lying on my back. When standing, I can raise right arm 90% to vertical, on the left I can only raise arm about 20% to vertical. Left neck is tight. Been fighting it for a long time. Just bought 4 programs from you. Starting now. Thanks!
Impressive. One round allowed my right hand to drop to the flower without any shoulder lift. Before the exercise, I could have put a yoga block between my hand and the floor and my shoulder was elevated. No issue on the left side from the start.
You’re sitting there, making an exaggeration, and that’s sadly how I look. Thank you very much. I’m an athlete recovering from a hip replacement, and my whole core got sent out of whack, but I’ve also shattered. My scapula broke her collarbone and had two surgeries for torn labrum‘s, but the life of an athlete is not always pleasant. I really appreciate the tip. I needed it desperately I will try your remedy, and I’m smiling at you no matter because everybody is different.
This helped me immensely. Trying to correct a long-term left AIC right BC problem. Often wondered how to relax the tight muscle on the right side of my back, no other exercise addressed it. Will try to use this to attain symmetry.... Thanks
For some reason the right side of my back was tighter than the left. In addition to left AIC, I had other issues, including a posterior rotated pelvis from a forward leaning stance, on my toes. Also crunched my thoracic falling on ice 25 years ago and hadn't healed properly, plus several other improperly healed injuries. One right side back muscle would often ache when gradually addressing other problems. Have made excellent progress in all areas, I'm happy to report, but it wasn't until I stretched the large back muscle that my pelvis finally stayed in neutral. The pelvis and lower back got sore for a day or two as they apparently repositioned. Have had minor issues with the right hip joint but it's coming around as well. I've probably watched 10-15 of Conor's videos.
I'm glad I came across your channel because you definitely know what you're talking about. I tried this stretch, and have seen a huge difference in my Lats, the way they feel and look. Great advice, please keep these videos coming!!!!👍
I tried this exercise as the accessory for fine tuning the practice and it does work even for my lower back. I believe we have to give our muscles a rest by the strategy of less is more. Thanks.
Oftentimes, with unilateral right-side muscle tension, the muscles are originally triggered into hypertension because of gall bladder sludge/liver duct sludge (cholestasis). You might want to order a transverse abdominal ultrasound or MRI to help determine if there is any blockage of your bile ducts triggering your muscles into action.
@@me-hk4rl Citation needed. From the studies I've read, liver dysfunction is associated with ipsilateral, right-side pain and muscle tension (trunk, shoulder, neck, and jaw areas)
Hi Connor. I've only discovered you channel recently and I am very impressed by your knowledge and all the positive feedback I've been reading from your viewers. I suffer from bad posture and I am very self-conscious about it. I have an "s" shaped spine. My head and my neck mostly tilt naturally to the right. Could you please help me and recommend a specific video, or videos that would benefit me.
Hi Conor, I have just purchased your Beginner’s Body Restoration and started it 2 days ago. Seen an immense positive restoration and change already. I feel a lot of compression around my Right SI joint when doing the walk stretch with a slight pelvic tilt. I have had right Psoas and SI joint pain for almost 3 years. Any tips would be greatly appreciated and look forward to the other programs of yours once I have finished this one. Thanks
Hi Dan, first of all I am so happy for you to hear that. It makes my day to hear how much I can help others like that. As for your question, I would look into my most recent video on lateral pelvic tilt and follow that. Also the video I’m releasing later this wren should help
Connor, I have your beginner body restoration program and it is excellent. Could you do some videos explaining how PRI techniques apply to more intensive workouts? Or which course or ebook explains how to apply PRI to training Example EMOM or Tabata workout. Or is PRI strictly to get your brain re-trained how your body should move?
I have an incomplete SCI at c7 which has resulted in muscle tightness over most of my body. The biggest problem I have, aside from my legs, are my lats. They are tight all of the time, so much so that it affects my breathing negatively.. thank you so much for this video, I will be adding it to my PT routine!
Im dealing with SI joint dysfunction, which is causing posss dysfunction and my whole body is basically out of alignment and stressed. One thing im learning is i panic when i dont know whats wrong or how to fix it..and bottle it up inside.this manifests stress physically and tenses my body. Im in pain and my body is already angry from that. Its challenging to have a positive attitude under these conditions. So im trying ti focus on not being perfect and allowing myself to be unhappy bc im in pain. Instead of no stress, im trying to jusr reduce stress, one step at a time. Lower stress. Lower inflammation. Lower pain. Anti inflammatory and antihistamine diet. Control the diet. Dont tax my body with exercises and stress filled stretches. It just makes me tight again later or the next day. Slow, breathy, easy stretches. Like deep tissue massage can feel good but too deep can cause more stress and pain later. Im starting to understand that its not just tendons, ligaments, fascae, and muscle that you have to fix. Its your nervous system, too. You wont get out of physical tension and stress and misalignment and bad posture if your nervous system is all out of whack, too. Too much time is spent on your bad side that you forget abt what you can do on your good side to take pressure off the bad side. That's what im trying to grasp fully to fix my SI joint ligamentopathy and general tendinopathy. Another thing i realized is spending all my time going to a specialist every day for acu, massage, chiro, PT, exam, MRI, whatever, adds more stress anf tightens up my body. Less is more. Too many cooks in the kitchen. I lessened the visits so i can focus more on trying to do something active. I was so busy going all tgese places that i didnt spend time on moving and that makes my body even more stiff. I finally am at the point where i know i have to work on one issue at a time abd that is my SI joint pain. A possible disc bulge issue has to wait. I need to focus on getting out of pain and not si much diagnosis
Dear Connor, thank you very much for your content. You've explained a lot about the pri. Can i ask you a question regarding the strechting of this muscle? (I'm even practioning this stretch with strengthening my left hamstring and right glute. i've also put a papertowel in the arche of my right foot). Here's my question....how does this stretch affects my whinging shoulderblade and necktension on my right side? I understand that this shoulderblade is pulled forward and creates those tensions....and that is not oke. I am in a lot of pain. While doing this stretch in your video, i am pulling the shoulderblade round and also forward... The stretching gives a lot of relief in my middle back and ribcase how must i fix this shoulderblade problem in your opinian? (in the netherlands there is no pri therapist). Kind regards, Alies Blokland
Ok, I definitely feel a stretch. Question: Why do I have to have my arm in internal rotation? Since the lats are inserting on the inside of the humerus, wouldn't it be better to externally rotate the arm to intensify the stretch?
the muscle you are describing has been triggered on me. quite debilitating because once triggered any movement with arms or back causes extreme spasm and took me a week for muscle to relax. i hope this helps me as i build my muscles stronger without triggering the spasm again. thank you for the help
Exercise any muscle group that seems to cause spasms. It's often because they're overstretched and WEAK. Try doing lightweight, FULL range of motion exercises and emphasize the eccentric portion. Basically you really want to feel that muscle engage and progress to full range of motion then progress to higher weights slowly. This is called "tolerance to load".
I just did this not on a door frame, but, just imagining the posture as I follow at the instruction. My God was I in pain. It ran all the way down my rib cage to my back, as If there was intense Lactic Acid build up. I am truly going to enjoy this when I actually holds on to my door frame. This is fucking good. Thanks for sharing. I am going to get my problem of over 5 years fix now.
Conor, just wonderd if you know anything about prostatitis? Been suffering this for many months but lately im hearing it could be muscle tension of the pelvic floor. Im desperate to solve this. Have tried antibiotics but no good
This is a good one especially if you arch the back. I noticed hanging on my pullup bar with one arm (using neutral grip) my left side is really tight (guitarist/computer use).
I have a torn lat on my right side, and I would love to get your advice on how to strengthen that lat. I have had reverse total shoulder surgery and I have titanium in multiple spots in my body but just need assistance strengthening my last lat!! If you have time and can please give me some simple exercises I am headed to therapy but this terror has been there for years would love to know your opinion thank you for your video
My torn muscle starts at my waistline And I would like to be able to stretch and also wear a belt on my waistline. Your video is great and if I can get your reply and assistance it is much appreciated 👍
How does it internally rotate the arm? I'd the insertion is on the posterior side of the humerus? Wouldn't the shorten lat actually rotate the arm upward? I love this video asking bC. I agree with you. However, I am in a debate with a friend 😄.
Something similar happened to me when this came up just now. Google reads our minds are at least as seeing us through a camera or listening to words we might speak. When this came up for me, I did definitely needed it! But I realized Google must be seeing me trying to stretch through my front phone selfie camera. Which made me realize the tape I had had over it had fallen off so I put more on immediately!
Would it make the most sense for an oblique orientation to stretch left lat first, right second, assuming both require it (and assuming that neither side gets worse either way)?
Thanks for this, the only thing I can't work out is if the tight side has an internally rotated shoulder, why are we stretching it in such an internally rotated position?
The mechanics of this seem similar to a folding seated stretch i do, one leg stretched out diagonally and the other folded with the heel in the groin, then the opposite arm grabs the outer side of the outstretched foot with a thumb down grip. Would the seated version of this change it significantly?

I ve heard right now for the first time. I ll try out in my office. In my opinion i ve found the psoas.

If you have time and can please give me some simple exercises I am headed to therapy but this terror has been there for years would love to know your opinion thank you for your video
My torn muscle starts at my waistline
And I would like to be able to stretch and also wear a belt on my waistline. Your video is great and if I can get your reply and assistance it is much appreciated 👍
They've been wreaking havoc on my golf game 😢
How does it internally rotate the arm? I'd the insertion is on the posterior side of the humerus? Wouldn't the shorten lat actually rotate the arm upward? I love this video asking bC. I agree with you. However, I am in a debate with a friend 😄.
your videos are great, thank you. Also, you look like a young, fresh and clean cut Bam Margera - I'm sure you've probably heard that before.
Thank you for this
This is exactly what impinges me!
Thank you so much!
Can you give an alternative lat stretch for a studio environment where we don’t have anything to wrap our hand around?
I used a door frame and it worked fine. Great stretch.
now that hit the spot !
Very good.Thanks.
do you think lats affect elbow pain? I'm convinced something in my back is causing it
WOW During stretching my lats youtube recommended me this video.
Something similar happened to me when this came up just now. Google reads our minds are at least as seeing us through a camera or listening to words we might speak.
When this came up for me, I did definitely needed it! But I realized Google must be seeing me trying to stretch through my front phone selfie camera. Which made me realize the tape I had had over it had fallen off so I put more on immediately!
This is a great connective tissue stretch!
Huh, gonna have to try this out 🤟
Shoulder must be in external rotation. Here is in internal or neutral position.
Would it make the most sense for an oblique orientation to stretch left lat first, right second, assuming both require it (and assuming that neither side gets worse either way)?
Thanks for this, the only thing I can't work out is if the tight side has an internally rotated shoulder, why are we stretching it in such an internally rotated position?
The model has his feet angled laterally not facing forward. Is that how you should be standing?
Hmm, very interesting. The lats are rarely mentioned when it comes to affecting other ares
Thank you!
@6:28 I do that all the time... and right now, in this moment no relief
@7:38 "that is all I need"⁉️
how long should I do this for? or how many inhale/exhales?
Thanks 👍
Thats what I deal with my left back side is tighter I also deal with Scloliosis and my right side is a quarter inch shorter than my left side
The mechanics of this seem similar to a folding seated stretch i do, one leg stretched out diagonally and the other folded with the heel in the groin, then the opposite arm grabs the outer side of the outstretched foot with a thumb down grip. Would the seated version of this change it significantly?
