Making the movements as small as they need to be, is such an important aspect. It took me a long time to learn that part, thank you for sharing the message.
wow thank you so much, just hearing you talk to us personally and compassionately, understanding this pain is so healing. I've been totally disabled by this. I diligently do all my exercises but being stuck physically. Now I see I have been way over my range of motion and need to slow down, and connect to each vertebra. Much needed and appreciated guidance :)
Oddly I am actually in PT and trying to learn this as part of my recovery protocol (EDS, lumbar sprain.) How did you come to be so well informed on hyper mobility and EDS? Your videos are so helpful - if I am ever in San Diego I am going to have to schedule some sessions with you!
Doing this gentle pelvic rocking + relaxation very softly and mindfully relieves my lower back pain like nothing has so far, it's wild! Thanks so much for demonstrating the role of the nervous system and brain can play
7 yrs of trying to fix si joints on my own, just had another setback, if the sustain Canada would cover all treatments it would have been fixed years ago
This is helpful! I have EDS and no matter how much core strengthening I do, I have low back pain every day. This gives me a new perspective and something new to try. Thank you so much!
It's super important to have a workout partner once you get to a certain level i feel because your form and willingness to push yourself can be helped in a pos way with reinforcement from a buddy
This is the first time ever someone has adressed the pain i feel each time i try any excercise! I'm following, with just this video i can tell you're gonna be my life saver ♥
I have always had pain from EDS but this helped so much I'm on my third baby postpartum 8 months now and my pain was just flaring up especially in my low back, I thought a massage gun would help and it did for a day but then the pain came back worse. so this is so helpful, thank you so much.
How REFRESHING to hear you talk anout the coaxing and negotiations required between our bodies and nervous system. I'm working on undoing some chronic physical pain that originated from stress and trauma, and I've found I mostly need to split my brain between health care people because they sometimes think physical ailments are purely physical.
thank you for another great video! Could you maybe do a video on what best to start with overall (entire body) and how to progress if the issues are pretty much every single joint in your body? There is so much information out there, usually for individual parts of the body, but often exercises helping one part of the body can hurt another (e.g. wrists) if you haven't already done stuff to strengthen that one and so forth :/ I'd like to take a more holistic (and sustainable) approach to supporting my body but I don't know how to start or how to progress afterwards
I have been doing wrong this whole time. Putting massive muscular and skeletal effort + pain. I thought pain is just a thing i feel all the time no matter what im doing 😢
It’s very hard to do when your brain is not connecting. I am already 20 years or more used to do the opposite. That is using my lower back and psoas to walk and lift. Have my hopes here to learn to use my glutes max, hamstring and core 🤞
Do you have a suggestion on how to do these exercises with CMC joint and wrist issues that causes pain in the hands/arms when weight is put on the arms? I find it hard to tell the difference in the pelvic tilts when on my back but being on all fours...causes lots of pain in the wrists/hands/arms.
I’ve done stretching in this position, but I rest my chest area on the corner of my bed, which allowed my hands to be on the floor, but not holding too much weight. I also don’t ever lay my hands flat on the floor with weight on them since my wrists are really bad- I make a fist with each hand and place the flat part of my knuckle~fingers area on the floor, keeping my wrists straight. My wrist braces help with that, as well.
Thank you for trying to help people with EDS❤
I second that, Thank you so much:)

This such a good explanation! Not many people can explain this. It works so well

Make a 👊 instead, keep the wrist straight. You can also use your fist on the yoga block to add hight if you can't extend your elbows.
