just wanted to point out a wrong conclusion in your video. you mention sitting as a cause for anterior pelvic tilt. but it should be obvious just by looking at the image of the spine of a person sitting, that sitting usually results in kyphosis of the lower spine aka posterior pelvic tilt. the very image you show at 4:16 shows a posterior pelvic tilt. hence the conclusion is that when sitting (in a slouched position) the hamstrings are in fact in a shortened position due to bent knees and posterior tilted pelvis. Hope you take this as constructive criticism, as is intended.
I graduated from physical therapy school in 1984 and took me years to realize muscles get tight for a reason. This video is 100% correct. Strengthening exercises are generally more important than stretching exercises.
Correct or not, in the discussion can be found out the correctness answer for the individual problems and approaches. And without the strenghthening of the related muscles can the strenghtening be impeached bei the dysballanced muskelgroups.
I agree. When I took kung fu classes as a teen, I was already pretty flexible. My teacher showed me some strengthening exercises to improve sidekicks and I realized that the limiting factor on my sidekick height was not flexibility but, indeed, strength.
Start doing kettlebell training. Kb swings (hip hinges) are the best to re-activate the gluteus. Turkish get ups, clean and press and snatches. For core workout I would advice club and mace/gada training. Do your inside and outside mills and shiekd casts and 360 and 10-2 gada swings. You will be amazed with the results after 6 months.
I completed my associates degree in Physical Therapy Assistance in 2000, but never used it, but I have plenty of knowledge about muscles and ROM, etc. I exercised daily until I turned 30 and then a traumatic experience caused me to quit exercising consistently. I developed chronic trigger points in most of my muscles and even the smallest of tweaks will leave me in pain and unable to move effectively for days. I have slowly developed a bunion that effects my right foot and wearing barefoot shoes has helped that tremendously. Your bunion videos have helped me to understand what I need to do. I have also struggled with tight hamstrings after sitting through much of COVID and completing my education degree online. I will take the information in this video to begin to strengthen my glutes and get my hamstrings in better shape. Thank you for providing relevant and understandable content!
As a massage therapist, I totally agree! My experience is clients who regularly strengthen with weights or calisthenics don’t have nearly as many complaints as the clients who are sedentary. Also sitting at a computer, driving, looking down at the cell phone, etc, causes ventral drag with issues in the neck and back. Esp. Behind the shoulder blades (rhomboids, levator scapulae, etc…). Thanks for sharing!
Do you happen to see a common pattern with clients to what causes a super tight low back? Say one just walks around wal mart. And ahh low back gets super tight. Any common tightness for those clients?
yes i am struggling with both problems because i drive for a living. i have glute amnesia and my shoulders hurt in every possible way lol. one thing ive found is a problem is that all chairs/seats have flat high backs (or worse backs the curve forward at the top) which means the pressure when sitting back against them is constantly pushed the shoulderblades forward of the spine. need to find some kind of skinny strip of dense foam or something to run up the center of the seat backs between your shoulder blades to rest the spine against to give more room for the shoulder blades to rotate all the way back
i also used to have feet problems when i worked a standing job for many years, but i started wearing nothing but sandals or crocs all year round (no more closed shoes) and my toes spread out and my feet and ankle problems all disappeared after a couple years. have stuck to flat based open toe shape shoes (mostly crocs) for almost 15 years now and feet and ankle problems have never returned. and my toes actually feel strong and i can stand on them and grip things with them. its amazing how much more natural it feels
I'm over 50 and have had hamstring problems my whole life, this rings so true and is definitely something I'm going to work on. The human body is so complicated and YT full of people with a little knowledge. These videos backed up science are pure gold
I’m 59 and have always had tight hamstrings. Sitting up on the floor and touching my toes was something I could barely do even when I was in my best shape 30+ years ago. I’ve tried every exercise, stretch, etc out there. I basically decided my DNA made me this way. And that I’ll be lucky to tie my own shoes when I get to my 70s. This is the first time I’ve every had an A-HA moment about this issue and thought (maybe wishful thinking) that this could actually help me. Thanks for the vid! I’ll keep you posted on my progress!
Everything you said makes sense and is right. I was given strength excises as well. My mate goes out on his bike for many years. I asked him what stretching excises he does. He said Hardly any . And he’s 71 and can walk cycle miles. Thank you for your time
As a standing desk user for 15+ years, I've continued to fight tight hamstrings and hip actuators. Standing is still pretty a static position and, if you already have poor compensation for weak hip actuators, you still won't see improvement. For me, adding floor sitting (actually, sitting / squatting on two 16"x20"x24" plyo boxes to form a 16"x24"x40" platform) in front of my adjustable desk has made a lot of progress on activating these muscles in the hip and core. I'd also love to see a video on glute re-education!
I second that. Sitting on the floor is the best thing. I don't know why we invented chairs when we have floors. People must have hated to leave their shoes at the door and keep their floor clean in the past.
agree, I also have a standing desk and 2 things. Make sure it is up for when you go in the office in the morning and not at seated height. Start the day stood, this helped me stand much more often One of the benefits no one really talks about from a standing desk it it goes lower than a normal desk, so my posture is much better when sat at the desk. As the saying goes though, the best position is the next position, don't stay in any one for too long. we are designed to walk 12 -15 miles a day, not stay in these positions.
@@lkerygma Indian style, 90-90, seiza (japanese style), and maybe one day I'll be able to just deep squat, but it'll take a whole lot of training. You just need a small table.
At 36 years old, for as long as I can remember I have never been able to touch my ankles let alone my toes. After finding this video, in just 2 days of doing glute re-activation training, I can now put my hands almost flat on the floor. This is an amazing feeling and I got so excited I had to go show my wife immediately. Thank you so much.
i finally found it. after 10 years of questions, self massage, experiements, and really tender legs i finally found the answer to what the heck is wrong with me. hope i can fix it soon, thank you so much
This seems like good material, as far as it goes. But I'm not a fitness expert; I have no idea what you mean by "re-educate the glutes," "hip extension mobility drills," or "enhance core stability." You need to give some examples and/or links to other videos, to cover these topics with specific exercises. Thanks!
At first I thought this was about (how) to loosen and 98% was about (why) we have them in the first place. Some even critiqued as well. The very last bit says what to do about it although not showing exactly what to do. Upon reflection I took away some key points 1. Understand root cause and prevent it in the first place - best method EVER. 2. Improving is as much about not doing, as opposed to doing. 3. Stop looking for quick fixes. Sitting for 12 hours or something you have done for 20 years is not going to be resolved in 2 minutes. Thanks for the insight.
genius and explained with stunning clarity. I have chronic hamstring tightness and after researching and trying out many exercises, I can attest to this. tight muscles are due to overcompensatory actions for muscles that are not doing their job. and the logic is brilliant. we have so many muscles in our body but we dont ever stretch them - why are they perfectly fine? you have gained a sub!
id love to see a more detailed video about glute reeducation techniques-and if i had three wishes, id spend the other two on videos on re-educating the equivalent paired muscles for tight psoas and tight QLs
I've always had tight hamstrings. And this video makes a lot of sense to me now. I do spend a lot of time sitting down. I go to the gym, but I don't really do focused glute or core exercises. The first time I tried a hip trust machine, I could feel my glutes burning like crazy. Very informative.
Wow this video nails it, I wished I found this video 10 years ago. All this I had to find out for myself and took me about 6 years. The gluteus are the main engine of the body, they do not only help the hamstrings to relax but also save the lower back. Since I start training reprogramming my body many phisical problems simply dissapeared. Great video.
HEY YES PLEASE GIVE ME THE FULL RUNDOWN of how to wake up and strengthen glutes permanently. i watched your anterior pelvic tilt video as well and I am having issues with dead butt syndrome and really want to know the full program to end this disaster forever thnks you are the goat
Thing is, I'm extremely active in those areas. I take fitness classes 5 times per week, I work every joint and most muscles in varying ways. I also stretch, as part of the classes and my hamstrings are always extremely tight and just in case people ask it's not because they are over-worked because I take extended rest periods also and nothing changes. I stopped trying to fix it and just embraced the fact that this is how I'm built, in doing so I just make adjustments when I need to rather than force my body into positions it doesn't like. I can't touch my toes or get anywhere near it but I've been relatively injury free for the last 15 years which is fantastic for me given I still play competitive sport.
The whole eight-minute video about how important it is to do exercise. Very insightful. I hope some people will read my comment before watching these platitudes and save some time in their lives
Lol, because using studies backing exactly why a lot of people address this improperly, and how to address it properly is "platitudes." What? Come on, now, let's get a bit more medical literacy and appreciate the material, or maybe leave it to people who can, instead of tearing down good work and presentation
This has been such a issue for me, following leg day workouts. My hamstrings have taken up to a week to heal at times, even though I’ve stretched them almost daily! Thanks for the video. Some really interesting points made.
Great video presentation and very intriguing approach to address a core problem that plagues so many of us. Please allow me to address your voice. There are ways to train the muscles we use to voice a presentation to relax, fall back and by doing that we change the pitch, the note or the scale. For fun: say a few words in German and in French and you will see, feel what you contract and relax. I have this characteristic in my voice. When I make a presentation I think to myself: "I work hard to get here so I have the right to choose the pace and it is worthwhile for them to listen, learn and they enjoy it very much". Please keep the videos coming!
My back got stiff one day and a few days later I was walking bent forward and couldn’t not figure out how to fix myself. Went to therapy and was in tons of pain all the time. I found a physical therapist who was also a massage therapist and personal trainer and’s Pilates instructor. He helped me and everything we did and everything he said is being explained in this video.
If the gluteui muscles are not working, as per your theory , and the hamstring muscles are overacting, it should make the hamstring muscles more powerful and less chances of their being injured. In fact hamstrings or calf muscles both often getting cramped because what I have observed, due to irritation of them by some fault ( could be quite slight) in the L4, L5, or S1 and S2 ( lower back) or in the posterior hip like gluteus minimus , piriformis etc. Try to rule out any possible source of trouble in the above areas and if not , simply sits up can strengthen the hamstring muscles along with lower back and hip muscles.
This would be more helpful if it included links to relevant exercises and fixes as well. It’s nice to have the summary. After looking at your channel there are glut and pelvic tilt exercises however, the relevant core stability exercises don’t seem to be listed. Would it not be better to include a program to help people who have this issue? Just a thought.
Good video, very well made and have subscribed for future education, but disappointed there weren't any suggestions on exercises to help with all 3 steps.
I've been on a journey to get fit this year. I'm down 40 pounds in 6 months, and my flexibility has increased a lot. I noticed myself standing taller and straighter without even trying. I think the 3rd point is the blame for that. now onto my glute journey to help with everything else!
I have been suffering from chronic tight hamstrings all my life. Your video will certainly help me. I hope you can see how much good this video can make in the lives of those like me. Thanks a lot, my friend! ❤
Hi , I really liked your glute and hamstring educational video. I am actually suffering from this condition. I would really appreciate it if you could create videos about exercise that can be performed to strengthen the glutes and correct this issue .
you would make an excellent fascia worker, too. great birds eye Chef level Integration of knowledge of so many dynamics and on various levels of the physical layered body. subscribing.

Can you make a video on left AIC patterned asymmetry for posture and or daily movements? The Posture Restoration Institute has a lot of research but the clinics and other resources on yt are sparse. Your clear illustrations and way of teaching concise pertinent information would go a long way to teach the proper biomechanics movements. Thanks for your quality content!
Amazing material. I am still working through my lower/upper cross syndrome and I understand and can apply to everything what was mentioned in this video. Glutes amnesia, fixing pelvis tilt, strengthening your core, less sitting, more walking/lying down (you can actually activate your glutes while lying down on your bed and have same posture as standing basically).
To get your glutes "activated" start by rubbing the back of your head along the base of the skull and rubbing along the back of your jaw. Then start working on driving through your big toes while keeping the knees from turning in, but instead twist them outward while still keeping the foot flat and driving through your big toe. The glutes will start turning on immediately
Ha! I always got laughed at quoting old Jack Lalane when he said "Does the tiger stretch in the jungle before he kills?" Of course until this video I didn't really have the answer... but at least I had the right question. Thanks for this, will be watching more of your videos!
Really great explanation of tight hammies from anterior pelvic tilt. I would like to add that some people do indeed have posterior pelvic tilt as well - less common but about 1/10 of my clients have it. It’s common for people who work standing and/or runners. For people like this stretching the hamstrings and activating the hip flexors really helps (and of course core work is always a plus)
@@uncletrashero situps do indeed work the hip flexors but they also pull the ribcage down towards the pelvis, and a lot of people with posterior pelvic tilt already have hunched upper body posture. For my clients with PPT I have them do lots of pushing their knee into their hands (from a supine position) and doing standing knee lifts - works wonders :)
@@uncletrashero Yeah I like the way you think! I'm sure they would decrease PPT - I could see them being useful for someone who has PPT and an excessively straight upper back
I'd be interested to see what studies that focused on other methods of attaining looser hamstrings had as results. You only presented studies that focused on your main point, which is to work on surrounding muscles and not the hamstrings themselves. It would be good to see if similar studies that targeted the tight hamstrings directly had similar, worse, or better long-term or short-term results.
Hi i want to ask one question... I can touch my toes with staright knees. But as i touch the floor my low back gets rounded in a wierd shape. For example like in the thumbnail of the video the photo of after you can see the back is straight. But my gets curved. Any opinion. I don't experience any pain or like that
I remember of lockdown, my hamstrings got tight and actually lead to intense hip pain for 24 hours (I could barely walk) finally got to see a skeletal expert and they said stretching the hip flexor and hamstrings wont fix it, if anything im stretching weakened muscles. Started doing Deadbug and Glute Bridges, 90% of the pain and tightness went in a few weeks.
All what you need in the end of the day is active live, dynamic stretching and physical activities. That will do the job, less talk more work. Yoga solves all the problems with core, joints, mussels, flexibility.
I sat a lot for months and started doing squats and deadlifts. I started having problems with all my muscles from the knee up. Like inflammation that lasts for 30 days. What is this about?
I've had very tight hamstrings for 30 years. I've worked to stretch them and it's very difficult and painful. I look forward to trying this different technique. In college i was a very good division 2 diver for my school and of course had very good flexibility. One week before nationals my sophomore year I was rear ended on the highway and fractured a vertebrae. I haven't been able to touch my toes since. I have high hopes that this will help

just wanted to point out a wrong conclusion in your video. you mention sitting as a cause for anterior pelvic tilt. but it should be obvious just by looking at the image of the spine of a person sitting, that sitting usually results in kyphosis of the lower spine aka posterior pelvic tilt. the very image you show at 4:16 shows a posterior pelvic tilt. hence the conclusion is that when sitting (in a slouched position) the hamstrings are in fact in a shortened position due to bent knees and posterior tilted pelvis.
Hope you take this as constructive criticism, as is intended.

What are the exercises? That's why I watched the video.
Seated hamstring stretch and straight leg raise with or without band
Exactly
Core and butt exercises. You have to search them yourself
Start doing kettlebell training. Kb swings (hip hinges) are the best to re-activate the gluteus. Turkish get ups, clean and press and snatches. For core workout I would advice club and mace/gada training. Do your inside and outside mills and shiekd casts and 360 and 10-2 gada swings. You will be amazed with the results after 6 months.

I've been on a journey to get fit this year. I'm down 40 pounds in 6 months, and my flexibility has increased a lot. I noticed myself standing taller and straighter without even trying. I think the 3rd point is the blame for that. now onto my glute journey to help with everything else!
Good job keep going
Very good insight with practical steps to address the issue.
I have been suffering from chronic tight hamstrings all my life. Your video will certainly help me. I hope you can see how much good this video can make in the lives of those like me. Thanks a lot, my friend! ❤
So, did it?
Hi , I really liked your glute and hamstring educational video. I am actually suffering from this condition. I would really appreciate it if you could create videos about exercise that can be performed to strengthen the glutes and correct this issue .
Thank you for the good and simple explanation but can you give is the exercise that we need to do to slice the problem
method starts @8:32. You are welcome.
Goddamn you got me. I agree very helpful video, definitely I now know how to unlock my hamstrings
Could you do a video on calf tightness?
I’d like to see what are those exercises. Nice video by the way.
you would make an excellent fascia worker, too. great birds eye Chef level Integration of knowledge of so many dynamics and on various levels of the physical layered body. subscribing.
glute re-education
IT band stiffness as I recover hip / leg strength after hemiarthroplasty
very fit before the accident that required this sx
thanks - excellent content
Can you make a video on left AIC patterned asymmetry for posture and or daily movements? The Posture Restoration Institute has a lot of research but the clinics and other resources on yt are sparse. Your clear illustrations and way of teaching concise pertinent information would go a long way to teach the proper biomechanics movements.
Thanks for your quality content!
Hey I would love to know which exercises these are in all three steps. Thanks still for all the information
I use a standing disk, I try to persuade other people to use them, but people are stubborn. Maybe your channel will help!😊😊😊thanks
Yes, please, do make a video on strengthening the glutes.
would that imbalance at 3:16 suggest hip problems in the future?
Amazing material. I am still working through my lower/upper cross syndrome and I understand and can apply to everything what was mentioned in this video. Glutes amnesia, fixing pelvis tilt, strengthening your core, less sitting, more walking/lying down (you can actually activate your glutes while lying down on your bed and have same posture as standing basically).
Can you share the exercise to loosen the hamstring based on science approach
Can you please share the exercises to strengthen the glutes
To get your glutes "activated" start by rubbing the back of your head along the base of the skull and rubbing along the back of your jaw. Then start working on driving through your big toes while keeping the knees from turning in, but instead twist them outward while still keeping the foot flat and driving through your big toe. The glutes will start turning on immediately
Wow..I am convinced I have this problem..more education please!
Yes, it would be great to see more information is never a waste
this is really helpful could you do the same but for shoulders?
What would be an equivalent for tight calves?
how good are bridges?
Where are the exercises? Or the author will do another video for the exercises?
Ha! I always got laughed at quoting old Jack Lalane when he said "Does the tiger stretch in the jungle before he kills?" Of course until this video I didn't really have the answer... but at least I had the right question. Thanks for this, will be watching more of your videos!
Very nice video. Do you have anything on peroneal muscle tightness while walking in terms of causes and remedies?
I would love to read the paper, how can I find it?
The story about core muscle stability is interesting. Thank you. Sir.
Great video. Why the light uterus behind you?
Really great explanation of tight hammies from anterior pelvic tilt. I would like to add that some people do indeed have posterior pelvic tilt as well - less common but about 1/10 of my clients have it. It’s common for people who work standing and/or runners. For people like this stretching the hamstrings and activating the hip flexors really helps (and of course core work is always a plus)
so SitUps ?
@@uncletrashero situps do indeed work the hip flexors but they also pull the ribcage down towards the pelvis, and a lot of people with posterior pelvic tilt already have hunched upper body posture. For my clients with PPT I have them do lots of pushing their knee into their hands (from a supine position) and doing standing knee lifts - works wonders :)
@@Dinoenthusiastguy i know situps have a problem of increasing anterior tilit so imagine they would help posterior tilt, but I do see what you mean
@@uncletrashero Yeah I like the way you think! I'm sure they would decrease PPT - I could see them being useful for someone who has PPT and an excessively straight upper back
Very good video (very Good points + All important points covered in short time)
I'd be interested to see what studies that focused on other methods of attaining looser hamstrings had as results. You only presented studies that focused on your main point, which is to work on surrounding muscles and not the hamstrings themselves. It would be good to see if similar studies that targeted the tight hamstrings directly had similar, worse, or better long-term or short-term results.
This was great! Would love a glute re education video!
One of the greatest videos on RUclips. Maybe one day people will be ready to re-educate more than just the glutes.
Hi i want to ask one question... I can touch my toes with staright knees. But as i touch the floor my low back gets rounded in a wierd shape. For example like in the thumbnail of the video the photo of after you can see the back is straight. But my gets curved. Any opinion. I don't experience any pain or like that
lovely and precise explanation. thank u.
Yes! We need video about glutes re-activation.
Hi. Please show exercises to strengthen glutes and how to de stress hamstrings
I remember of lockdown, my hamstrings got tight and actually lead to intense hip pain for 24 hours (I could barely walk) finally got to see a skeletal expert and they said stretching the hip flexor and hamstrings wont fix it, if anything im stretching weakened muscles. Started doing Deadbug and Glute Bridges, 90% of the pain and tightness went in a few weeks.
Do you have exercises for posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
All what you need in the end of the day is active live, dynamic stretching and physical activities. That will do the job, less talk more work. Yoga solves all the problems with core, joints, mussels, flexibility.
My hamstrings never cramp, nor do myt quads, but what does cramp or get that burning feeling are my shins, what should i do about that?
Please do make a video on the exact exercises it would be helpful
I would love a video on glute re-education.
very cool video and easy to understand! Thanks a lot.
What is the Name of the Study ? Can I read it or look it up somewhere?
Tis Irish Bob saying twas a fine explanation Indeed Lad. Very informative, again thanks
😇🤗😎🍀🇮🇪🇨🇵🦾🩺🥂
What excercises strengthen glutes?
I sat a lot for months and started doing squats and deadlifts. I started having problems with all my muscles from the knee up. Like inflammation that lasts for 30 days. What is this about?
One of the greatest videos I've seen recently, thanks a lot for that!
Do you also have a core exercise video?
I would like to know the steps to take to get the glutes working again as well. Thank you. This video is really interesting.
This is the best video ever on the topic. Great job❤
YES please show the exercises
Never heard of this explanationin else other videos. Thank u
I've had very tight hamstrings for 30 years. I've worked to stretch them and it's very difficult and painful. I look forward to trying this different technique.
In college i was a very good division 2 diver for my school and of course had very good flexibility. One week before nationals my sophomore year I was rear ended on the highway and fractured a vertebrae. I haven't been able to touch my toes since. I have high hopes that this will help
Yes I would like another video of how to activate the glutes, maybe using the gamma motor neuron technique?
Please more details about activating the glutes.
What does it mean if everything you said describes me except I have posterior pelvic tilt?
