  • @isaacsilberstein2339
    @isaacsilberstein2339 5 лет назад +1

    Dear Dr. Jo,
    The first exercise you recommend for your listeners who sit for most of the day is seated hip flexion, which strengthens the illiopsoas muscle. Can you kindly explain why you would encourage hip flexion strengthening? It would appear that, in fact, those who sit for long periods of time develop hip flexion tightness, and the remedy should be stretching of this muscle group, not strengthening.
    Thank you,
    Isaac Silberstein, SPT

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  5 лет назад +3

      Strength and tightness are completely different things. When you strengthen something, it doesn't become tight, it becomes strong. Besides, this is to take pressure off the buttocks area while you are sitting as well.

      @@AskDoctorJo Thanks for your swift response. I did some months back. He said it has to do with blood circulation and gave me some drugs to use. I think antibiotics. No tests NOTHING! 🤔

      Yeah but just walk around occasionally as well, since standing for too long is bad as well
