After 22yrs as a manufacturing Jeweller its taken me a long time to rehab my posture after many years of neglect. I owe it all to Tom Morrison and this flexy legend right here. ❤ 3 compressed disks in my lower back and shoulder impingement all gone by following these guys work and being CONSISTENT.
That’s awesome man, I see a lot of people commenting about starting the program, but never one from someone who had consistently done it, thanks for sharing
@@realryder2626 funny! but seriously have you ever had to brace in awkward positions setting 0.90mm round diamonds for 8-10hrs a day? Yes we don't glue them in we push metal over the gems to hold them. Imagine the focus and electro-chemical steadiness to do that! So yeah my body aches like all hell after even 5 hrs on the bench.
I have ADHD and I'd just like to thank you for making this video so easy to watch. I actually managed to get all the way through without losing concentration or skipping bits - which is extremely rare! I've suffered with chronic pain and various physical issues for years and I'm incredibly stiff and inflexible. I'm currently trying to claw my way back to some kind of decent physical health, so I'll endeavour to check out your other videos.
This is the same result that I found with breathing exercises and holding the breath + contracting the core and back muscles. It's also the same like progressive muscle relaxation. Thanks for bringing the pieces together!
Yes, my yoga teacher sometimes used breathing for relaxing the muscles, with breathing deep into the core body, or only into parts of the ribcage. She described it as a massage from inside, and that fits. (Of course these exercises also help with using the full lung volume.)
Love the video David. First time watching your long form content after our discussion. Your short form magic translates very well to the long form content. Very well done! We need to chat again some time soon.
This video really helped confirm what I was feeling all week. Any restless leg type symptoms or stiffness has gone away with isometric type contractions. Simply flexing my glutes as hard as I can seems to do more for my hips than any of the stretching I tried, and it tends to be the contracting muscle that feels best for me after a "stretch". I think so much of this is nervous system related and that electrical energy needs to flow and get used up or things start to lose proper function.
This video is great advice. After sitting at a desk job for 20 years, mostly 10 hours a day and two back surgeries later. I've had some amazing coaches that have taught me the benefits of the points shown in this video. Great work!
Imma be honest, the thumbnail made it look like you were just pitching your supplements so I almost didnt watch this video. But Im glad I clicked on it anyway, very informative!
Something representing muscle stiffness might work better. Or leaning into the "sitting 8 hours a day for work." It's causing it for the majority of people and I'm guessing most peoplw know how bad sitting for work can be for the body.
I was sure it was a mention of magnesium for cramps and stiffness. I had years of screaming-at-night cramps and stunted muscle gain due to not knowing I had a deficiency which most men today have due to western culture's highly limiting dietary standards. @MovementbyDavid Very useful info for me either way!
I've been watching your videos and must say they are all awesome, the depth of information and ease of information consumption you put in your videos makes it so easy to digest, you make something what seems complex to understand look like baby food, thank you so much for your videos and the time you take to make them. Keep up the good work, God bless you David!
Oh my word you are so blimming likeable and great at what you do. Big fan here, son and husband also feel the same🤩. Thanks so much for sharing your passion and knowledge.
I've had unrelenting upper back/trap stiffness for years now. Stretching never helps but I've been doing it anyway. But after watching this video... I just tried contracting the stiff muscles as hard as I could for a few reps and they feel better than they have in YEARS. THANK YOU RANDOM STRETCHY GUY WHO I JUST FOUND TODAY Subbed fl
Wow, thank you for this different perspective and insight to this. This really opened up my perception and also awareness to understand my body. mostly the part where you talk about, when getting up and stretichng the whole body is more about the contracting that works against stiffness. Something we do so intuitively i didn’t understand how important contracting actually is 🙌🏼♥️ thank you for sharing your knowledge 🌟
My love for your wisdom jumped another notch with this one! I realized... you're the king of physical movements-per-pixel! You truly pack in practical moves with every blink, educator. Thank you. I'm movin on it!
i've been stiff in my lower legs all my life and i always found the most relief in movement, so this makes so much sense! thank you for the enlightenment and stay wiggly 👍
I took more breaks and I was more physically active in the periods I had the most cognitive output (easily double my "non moving" one). Computer Science here, being still doesn't help me at all. I need my breaks and I need them to be active.
I don't think sitting is that bad. We evolved to have big butts for a reason. I think trauma is the main reason for stiffness. Our minds and bodies are in symbiosis. And a rigid mind often means a rigid body too.
Your posts are brilliant! You have an awful lot of knowledge that is so helpful, I'm learning splits and backbends at the age of 50 - its a slow process but honestly regular stretching has really helped!!
This makes a ton of sense. I always feel really good (in relation to my low back pain) after heavier squat days and using the hip thrust machine. The soreness of courae isnt great but the stiffness lets up and i always feel revitalized of sorts.
Recently found the term that describes the contraction of muscles after periods of rest. It’s called pandiculation and it can be actively used to relax muscles that have tightened. It’s a natural phenomenon when we “stretch” and yawn when rising in the morning. It is seen in dogs who do the “downward dog” when they get up from a sleep. Worth reading up to learn about its benefits to help relax stiff and tight muscles.
You create bite size content that actually teaches key facts to improve a current worldwide problematic. And let's not forget the fact that you're so entertaining and pleasant to look at.
I ve been randomly watching your videos mostly cause of the funny way you move like dancing and doing acrobatics. But dude your programs are lit! Thank you for my spine bro🙏🏻
Instructions unclear... gonna hook up electric shock pads to every muscle while working my desk job. My typing accuracy is about to suck! lol Jokes aside, your instructions were _incredibly_ clear! Great video as usual!
Now that I'm just "getting old" stiffness and pain are becoming commonplace. This video really makes a lot more sense than going on an "antiinflamatory" diet, whatever that is, or maybe it's all of the above. Really good video.
This all makes sense now! I am chronically stiff but also have hyper-mobility since i was born and i recently have been struggling with the after-effects of covid (i was stuck at my computer desk all day because of school) and i have gotten very stiff (astymetrically which is even worse because it is very uncomfortable). Always thought that it didnt make sense for me to be stiff if i am naturally very flexible but thank you so much! it seems i have been concentrating on solving my issue in the wrong way.
Very well done video. Gives you just enough information to not help you completely leaving the desire to purchase the program. Very effective commercial for his program, well done!
People should not underestimate how actually useful being flexible can be in day to day life. Im naturally very flexible and don't stretch as much as I should. But I had a major surgery 24 hours ago that basically has ny entire torso wrapped in a stiff binder and will leave me with about 2 foot of scars. Can't use my arms much. Can't bend any part of my torso or even sit up straight or lay flat. Can't get a normal shirt on. I tried. LOL I have had friends have the same surgery who said they couldn't get themselves out of bed for days (can't use your arms in any major ways after this procedure.) My shoulders are flexible and not stiff. Its been a literal life saver. Between that and having strong hands/wrists, I can do quite a lot. I can't reach across my front but I can reach behind my back to get stuff. Being able to deep squat to reach things Ive droooed and get off the floor without use of my arms or moving my torso has been critical. Being able to balance on one leg and move my knee to chest level has made it possible to get my shoes on quickly. Everyone should be practicing flexibility and balance. It's good for much more than cool tricks. If youre 120% where the average person is, you'll have that same advantage when you need it most. I made it to 33 without a single surgery but I've had more movement and less pain than my younger friends had after it. And y'all, I'm short (5'3) and fat (190 lbs) with short arms (negative wingspan) . You dont have to be long and thin to be flexible.
Woah! So cool to learn! I'm hyper mobile and have been working to better understand how my body works especially towards the end range of motion. I learned that stretching sometimes triggers my pain (I suffer migraines) because my body doesn't naturally engage at the end of ranges. Also dry needling has helped a ton! Which feels perhaps similar to the study you mentioned because my muscles engage and then actually release! So rad
So interesting! My anecdata: I found that stretching my tight piriformis is less effective than doing a few standing clamshell type movements that make it burn
@@MovementbyDavid I appreciate you man! I'm a doctor and I've learned more about the actual functioning of muscles from your videos than I did in medical school!
Great video! I'm 67 and practice Brazilian jiujitsu. When I'm in a class and for several hours afterwards I feel like "yeah! I'm a badass!" Later that day, though... I definitely see how when the movement stops the cramps set in. Aside from continuing to move, hot Epsom salts baths help.
I have become stiff over past 5 years. Not due to inactivity. Hormonal changes, leaky gut, both leading to autoimmune disease has led to joint stiffness. Wrists affected first - unable to bend wrists or to weight bear on them with deterioration occurring over 3 years. The first step for healing and reversing these symptoms is healing my leaky gut.
I'm a runner, and clock up quite a number of miles during the week, and so I have to work on mobility, rolling and stretching often. During a recent work trip to Germany, I did no running nor any exercise all week and all the stiffness in my legs disappeared - it was a nice feeling.
@@r_unner_Gwhy not? If I’m not mistaken isn’t the point of the video that muscle activation is one of the best forms of reducing stiffness? What does running do that isn’t muscle activation?
This was super helpful! Thank you so much! My flexibility and mobility have improved within a couple months and has prevented so many injuries :) keep it up!
Hi David! Long-time fan with a weird question: Do you find that active stretching causes temporary flexibility loss while your muscles are adapting to the new load demands in extended positions? I've started adding Active Stretches to my Splits routine on two of the four days I drill Splits, and I've found that my flexibility has decreased slightly for the past two weeks I've been trying it (while my soreness has, most certainly, shot through the roof, haha). I'm definitely still using it, as I can 100% tell the difference already in my leg strength, balance, and confident range of motion, but I was just curious if the slight dip in flexibility gains was a common and temporary side-effect of starting an Active Stretching Routine.
Yes! 100% true! The active stretching actually incurs muscle growth which takes time to recover from. But once you are recovered the muscle is capable of stretching a bit further due to have more muscle cells. (Or sometimes longer cells on average) But the cool thing about it is that those flexibility gains don’t disappear as quickly!
They use tens machines as a treatment for stiff muscles in people who suffer from Cerebral Palsy. So muscles that are constantly tight are stimulated to muscle contraction for 30 minutes (10s on and then 10s off) and it actually helps the muscles to learn to relax. The Physio who does this has been doing it for 5 plus years.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 ////////////

I started running 3 days a week and now my feet hurt often
@@eyeofsauron2812 Change your shoes
Wouldn't running be muscle activation and thus help with stiffness?
@@ComputerStuff not entirely
@@r_unner_Gwhy not? If I’m not mistaken isn’t the point of the video that muscle activation is one of the best forms of reducing stiffness? What does running do that isn’t muscle activation?
3:25 can you make a video teaching us how to throw it back like that next?
O snap! One love deep divers keep the vibes high and remember to do something today that you can thank yourself for tomorrow!!!
As an IT worker this is good idea
Thank you for the information
You're freaking AWESOME. Keep on keeping on. Man. (VIDEO)
Excellent work dude
Love your approach, so fresh (but, gawd, what a show-off, lol)
Hydration plays a big part as well

This was super helpful! Thank you so much! My flexibility and mobility have improved within a couple months and has prevented so many injuries :) keep it up!
Hi David! Long-time fan with a weird question:
Do you find that active stretching causes temporary flexibility loss while your muscles are adapting to the new load demands in extended positions? I've started adding Active Stretches to my Splits routine on two of the four days I drill Splits, and I've found that my flexibility has decreased slightly for the past two weeks I've been trying it (while my soreness has, most certainly, shot through the roof, haha). I'm definitely still using it, as I can 100% tell the difference already in my leg strength, balance, and confident range of motion, but I was just curious if the slight dip in flexibility gains was a common and temporary side-effect of starting an Active Stretching Routine.
Yes! 100% true! The active stretching actually incurs muscle growth which takes time to recover from. But once you are recovered the muscle is capable of stretching a bit further due to have more muscle cells. (Or sometimes longer cells on average)
But the cool thing about it is that those flexibility gains don’t disappear as quickly!
@@MovementbyDavid Thanks so much for the quick reply! I really appreciate the information!
that's awesome
This was excellent and correct information , it is also very similar to C.A.R.S.. I have subscribed. Thanks
I used to move and switch sitting positions a lot as a kid. But funnily enough parents and school "helped me" stop doing that. 😂
They were mentally stiff, now we are physically stiff.
Definitely funny! But I'm still stiff and not sure how to fix it still.... but very funny! ❤
Thank you so much, great video.
Standing desk is a game changer for this.
Nest posture is next posture my doc said. 4 posture changes per hour!
They use tens machines as a treatment for stiff muscles in people who suffer from Cerebral Palsy. So muscles that are constantly tight are stimulated to muscle contraction for 30 minutes (10s on and then 10s off) and it actually helps the muscles to learn to relax. The Physio who does this has been doing it for 5 plus years.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75
