Thank you for making so many of your exercises available online. I have many of your books and really enjoy working through the exercises with you demonstrating them. You have a lovely voice and an excellent teaching manner.
Glad I came upon this session. I have been having chronic upper inner thigh tightness walking, standing or sitting. Even my chiropractor give me no attention or session to this problem. Claiming it just a related low back radiopathic issue pain worse after back treatment hard to get home after treatment. Going to try this even thought I was told not to do any leg stressing.
I'm 34 years old. I have lower back pain for 8 years. The results of the radios (MRI, scanner) and the analysts are all good. No treatment relieves me. I can walk or stand for 1 or 2 hours maximum, then I have to lie down to get relief. Could fascia be my problem? how can i know?
Hi, a question: What does the touching (feeling) do during the exercise? is not a massage, it's just touching right? does that trigger something in the fascia or what is the purpose? thanks!
effleurage (brushing) is a massage technique that found its way to neurophysiological therapy methods. if you brush over a muscle, in this case the adductor magnus, from its origin to its destination (sorry if these are not the correct english words but i think you get what i mean), it has a detonizing (relaxing) effect. if you brush from the destination to the origin, it has a tonizing (activating) effect. it is not neccessary for this exercise, but a therapist will always think to add things that make sense in terms of efficiency.
Brushing the muscle increases proprioception and keeps a focus - when the nervous system/ brain is involved along with movement that's when change happens. Dynamic Neuro-cognitive Imagery aka the Franklin Method .
Will this help with hip pain? Several places in hips,low back feel bruised( they're not) I have been doing haphazard stretching for about 2 weeks, they hurt all the time, I also have lower back,knee and foot pain
Quick question: How often should this movement be performed, for someone with hypertonic pelvic floor? Is it okay to do it several times per day? And thanks for sharing your expertise! I've suffered from pelvic floor pain for over a year, and thanks to people like you I'm finally starting to fix the problem.
At 1:07 he's saying we are to pull the aductor (sp?) and I'm wondering also how forcefully we are to pull. Are we essentially massaging it in one direction effectively pulling it away front the pelvic region? That's what it sounds like but it doesn't LOOK like his hand is straining or formed in a position to achieve that.
A butterfly targets the adductors and rotators to increase flexibility. I believe this specifically aims at the pelvic floor muscles and also stabilises the pelvis. This position with one leg on the chair gets the adductors out of way in order to more easily identify the pelvic floor muscles.

Good question! I was wondering the same

Fascia Yoga helps a lot too

@Lost pelican thank you. think when Im standing I tuck my bum in like I'm push my pelvis forward
And what do we do if we can't stand?
Amazing.

Espetacular 🙏👍
Just stumbled across your videos. Just wondering - how much pressure are we putting on our abductors and opposite hip in these hand movements?
He's just telling us to put our hands there to help us stay conscious of the muscles and our movement. He's not actually exerting force.
At 1:07 he's saying we are to pull the aductor (sp?) and I'm wondering also how forcefully we are to pull. Are we essentially massaging it in one direction effectively pulling it away front the pelvic region? That's what it sounds like but it doesn't LOOK like his hand is straining or formed in a position to achieve that.
This helped me a lot!
How is this more beneficial than say a butterfly stretch?
Are you supposed to feel the stretch more in the elevated leg?
This seems like a good exercise to start with and then progress towards the butterfly over time.
A butterfly targets the adductors and rotators to increase flexibility.
I believe this specifically aims at the pelvic floor muscles and also stabilises the pelvis. This position with one leg on the chair gets the adductors out of way in order to more easily identify the pelvic floor muscles.
