Peace. I have been working on forefoot walking for about 3 years. I just uploaded some videos which may interest even you. Appreciate your content, it helped me out
I've really loved all your videos, I've been bingeing! They're so informative and you speak so eloquently. I'm 42 and learning to walk thanks to you 😆 I've suffer with a forward head position and poor posture. I learned recently that the fascia runs a connective line from the tongue down to the toes and that a tongue tie can cause many issues, so recently I had my tongue tie released (by laser) and it's made a huge improvement with my posture, head position, tongue position and my breathing. My tongue tie release was assisted with tongue exercises, chiropractic care, and fascia release by an osteopath before and after the procedure - a tongue tie release on it's own probably wouldn't have the same results. Anyway, thank you so much for the amazing content you provide so professionally. Much appreciation from Australia 😁
I'm just learning about fhp...I believe it's the root cause of my neck aches and dizziness...I drive for a living...up until recently 80 and 90 hours a week...posture was not a thing that even remotely popped in my head as being a cause for dizziness or triggering my miagraines...my thoughts went to much darker places. I appreciate and thank you for your videos.
Just in time man, definitely utilizing your hollow body exercise you've shown for my APT and have now moved on to fixing my neck posture. Great content!
Been watching your vids for a while, love that you can incorporate fixes by integrating it to something so basic and fundamental: walking! Also digging the neo soul tracks in your vid too. Very refreshing from the techno edm house, or hard rock found in other fitness and wellness videos.
Huge thanks to you for continued educational content! You have been teaching me how my body needs to align in order to heal from recent ankle surgery, and unavoidable neck fusion. You da man Mark! ❤❤❤ ps - ❤ my Zero shoes made in the USA!
I've been watching your videos religiously since I got barefoot shoes little over 2 months ago. Its easy and really not easy to walk this way. I love how it has made me feel so far and I'm excited to be able to get these motions into habit. Thank you so much for such amazing and well put together videos. I truly believe some version of a barefoot shoe should be used by every human being lmao Also got the toe dividers combo ! cant wait for that to get here
I love your videos I have learned do much , a question..I fo alot of hiking with much decline and inclined how do I apply the chin up in such instances especially on declines keeping an eye out for loose rocks and rattlers lol?
Thanks for sharing these tips, I got poor posture from sitting at a desk all day and I want to fix it and I find this video valuable. Can I find you on social media?
Thank u brother for this video. I was pushing my shoulder back and chest up. Now i can sense relief by only tucking chin. Any exercise for rounded shoulder
Thank you for this!! Do you think you can do a video on breathing and speaking as well? I find that my poor habits get re-introduced whenever I have to talk for long periods of time
Do you think that the way we sleep (position) affects our posture. Personally i sleep on my shoulders and this has caused me a lot of pain in my rotator cuff. I would like to see a video made by you on sleeping positions. Thank you
i work in a lab working at a counter all day and so im always needing to look down unless i can kneel down to counter height. so learning how to recover would be very helpful. i notice pain in my neck and especially right between my shoulder blades in the area of like T3
That’s a good question, I’m also curious about this. I have neck/back trouble and tried various orthopaedic pillows (Sissel, Putnams) and couldn’t get along with them really.
This is a nuanced topic, but this depends if you are a back sleeper or side sleeper (never sleep on the Stomach). I would only use it on my side position (but you could use your hands, prayer style, below the Head).
What are your thoughts on barefoot shoes in regards to scoliosis and true leg length discrepancy? I currently have an external lift on my left shoe of 14mm. I have battled over the years with my specialists saying how wearing my thin converse with no insoles added is much better for my low back pain then padded athletic shoes. Again any thoughts of wearing converse? Thx!!
Converse has the benefit of being zero drop, but it is not foot shaped or flexible. Have you tried Side Planks and Copenhagen Planks? I recall seeing a study stating the benefits of these exercises for Scoliosis.
Hey Mark, there must be a happy medium somewhere than with the shoulder issue because the number one thing that First improved my mobility and decreased pain was me adjusting my shoulders stretching them and maybe pulling them back you’re right however I think I went too far and probably was trying to straighten my back too much and probably overloaded my SI joint so there’s got to be a happy medium on the shoulders that they must just slouch a little bit causing fascia or something to put tension and cause pain. It was like a light switch for me may be a good topic for more in-depth videos. it’s been taking me about a year to study your videos and I am still trying to work on it. Thanks for all your homework you’re looks like an incredible amount of work to put one of these videos together doing
Thanks for watching. I believe there is a happy medium, a fully relaxed Torso that gives respect to the curves of the Back/neck (Lumbar, Thoracic, Cervical and Sacral) they should never ber "straightened". But the TVA and Obliques must be toned and developed to support the structure. I focused on the neck, but in the upcoming videos I will cover the rest. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't stretch, but we should do this in terms of developing the range of motion (end range of both parameters) of flexion and extension.
I walk 5 to 6 miles everyday at around the 15:30min mile pace and there is absolutely no way I could walk in shoes with thin soles, let alone barefoot shoes. Most pavements here in the UK are in a terrible state with small stones and gravel everywhere. I know that you mean well but this just isn't practical advice to me or probably a lot of others.
@@josh-9141 There are many ways, but predominant are sitting or trauma to the pelvis/lower back. I fell during a kiteboarding accident and I had to fix it myself after dealing with Dr.s and PT's.
Thank you dearly for your advice and techniques. I’m well on my way to recovery thanks to your videos. Best wishes, Paul (UK)
Thank you so much! Im glad to be of service!
Very refined take, thanks

Me too my friend. Exactly what u said is what I’ve been dealing with. For 3 months. It gets better don’t worry
This is incredibly helpful thankyou

@@GrownandHealthy What is your opinion on using an exercise ball as a desk chair at work?
@@brandonbell934 It can work, but variety of positions is key. There is a flat inflatable that would give the same sensation as an exercise ball.

Thank you. I'm glad you found it helpful.
This is brilliant - pls advise on the link for the flat feet program. Can’t find it
Hey I know that place! At the end of the vid. Little mulberry! I did a drone vid like that there too! Thanks for the vid man
I love your videos I have learned do much , a question..I fo alot of hiking with much decline and inclined how do I apply the chin up in such instances especially on declines keeping an eye out for loose rocks and rattlers lol?
Could you do a hiking video?
Thanks for sharing these tips, I got poor posture from sitting at a desk all day and I want to fix it and I find this video valuable. Can I find you on social media?
Thanks for watching. I'll be back on Social Media in a few weeks, I will post the links on this channel.
Thank you for your videos sir. Could you please make on about tight TFL and QL?
Thank u brother for this video. I was pushing my shoulder back and chest up. Now i can sense relief by only tucking chin. Any exercise for rounded shoulder
Great. Try to create a balance between tucking the Chin and supporting with your Traps.

I would take as many breaks as possible, to break the monotony.
What do you think about pillows and their effect on the spine?
That’s a good question, I’m also curious about this. I have neck/back trouble and tried various orthopaedic pillows (Sissel, Putnams) and couldn’t get along with them really.
just dont use
This is a nuanced topic, but this depends if you are a back sleeper or side sleeper (never sleep on the Stomach).
I would only use it on my side position (but you could use your hands, prayer style, below the Head).
@@GrownandHealthy sleep like your subconscious want, its all, whatever the position - witout any pillow
Could you do farming g video's I grow Guava Lime trees pomegranates figs and Barbados cherries by the way

I've got....awful APT, awful forward head posture, awfully internally rotated shoulders, valgus knees, awful flexibility......not sure I've even fixable haha
Once the Pelvis is misaligned, the rest of the body suffers..
It is completely fixable, I'm proof.
@@GrownandHealthy how does the pelvis just become misaligned out of interest? Is best method of contact for programs email?
@@josh-9141 There are many ways, but predominant are sitting or trauma to the pelvis/lower back.
I fell during a kiteboarding accident and I had to fix it myself after dealing with Dr.s and PT's.
