OMGosh, I'm far from a dancer. My lower back is so stiff I can see kinda why I'm in pain,my body is full of inflammation..I have changed my diet, still feel exhausted, it's my breathing and my pelvic floor.My core need help.. You are spot on what's going on,.. I can't stop watching the videos. I want to see more of your videos. But I'm trying to heal my self. Thank you ! What kind of a doctor looks at your gate? Wow ,I'm just blown away!
@lindat9083 Firstly, I'm sorry to hear about your back. Secondly, I'm thrilled to hear you got so much value and inspiration from this video! There are lots of people who do this work, to help people improve their movement patterns and get out of pain. It sounds like you could potentially use a PT who truly specializes in pelvic floor issues (they are more and more common these days, and highly skilled). And if you want help with your gait and your posture, please contact Verity Bell. She is the one who helped me with the analysis in THIS very video. She is amazing! Her links are in the video description, but I will leave them for you here as well. Her website: veritybell.co/ Her Instagram: instagram.com/veritysgotthemoves/ And if you have the means and are available, please consider joining us this Sunday, January 21 for a live (via Zoom) workshop that goes deep on this exact topic. You can find the link to register in the video description. I will also copy it for you here: www.belighttt.com/verity-special-workshop-2 Even if you can't attend live, a recording will be made available for 7 days. I hope this helps, Marilynn. Thank you again for watching, commenting and supporting the channel.
@williamhenry3337 You are far too kind to me, my friend. I'm so glad you are finding so much value here. Thank you, as always, for watching and commenting. Have a great day!
Your video is resonating at the moment as I’m currently in a dysfunctional spine place, C7 hyper-extension and sciatica from an L5-S1 disc procedure I had in 2006. As well as the standard stretching/yoga exercises I use to alleviate symptoms, I also use breathing techniques to correct the biomechanics/biodynamics. For example standard pranayamic diaphragm/rib/chest three phase breathing is really good for re-aligning C7! Also, pain makes you hyperventilate so I find 4/4 LSD functional breathwork gives your ANS the regulation needed to not feel the pain as much. I guess it’s a psycho-physiological mechanism and ties in with the ‘bracing’ response you mention. It counteracts that, so even if structurally you’re still not quite right, you don’t FEEL as bad. I also find doing eye exercises helps to downregulate your system too, which also really helps to make you feel safer. SAFETY =LESS PAIN. Your videos really make me think about all this in a really clear way. Cheers buddy, glad I found you ❤
@fitzplastik Hi, Steven! Thank you, as always, for your truly thoughtful comment. I'm so glad this resonated with you. It's fun to have a little back and forth with someone on a similar journey. I'm glad you've found tools that can help relieve your symptoms and give you a sense of safety. That is definitely the word of this decade! Just yesterday, I taught a workshop on tongue position, overall posture and safety in the nervous system. It's really everything. Nothing heals if you don't feel safe. Nothing shifts if you don't feel safe. You're not able to move forward in life with strength, confidence and sure-footedness if you don't feel safe. I love that we're on the same page and I really appreciate you always taking the time to watch and respond. Thanks for that. Hope you're practice is burgeoning. Talk soon.💖
Woah! You just took things to another level. All this stuff is new to me, but very cool to learn about. Especially since I walk so much. Thing I found most interesting was the foot propulsion stuff. I have watched many videos on proper walking form / posture. My back pain went away when I began adopting a new walking style where my foot lands flat (to slightly forward) to allow my Achilles to do its job. Acting like a shock absorber. And I push forward with my foot. They said heel striking basically negates the purpose of having an Achilles. Making the lower back absorb the shock of the heel strike. It took time for me to change, however my back pain stopped, and I quit getting plantar fasciitis. (I like to think b/c it strengthened my foot). Also, you’re a tough woman! Walking outside in the cold, with out a jacket & shoes! I’ll have on two sweat shirts & a wind breaker!
@BenMJay Oh great, I'm glad you enjoyed this! It is my attempt to start bridging the gaps between breathing and all these other aspects of our human experience. I hope it is engaging and not too overwhelming. That's great about your foot health and your back pain! 🙌💖So you very much already understand the connection here. That's fabulous! And yes, I went out into the cold with my coat and boots on like a "normal" person, lol. But I'll do just about anything in the name of human health and education...and here is the final result! LOL😂
There is an incredible amount of value in this video series!! Loved how you explain each and every observation in simple words!! Amazing info and a big salute to you for putting together this series!! Thank you Tara 👼 BTW, you could walk in that snowy place without shoes and jacket??? Sending you warmth and love !! Bala. Cheers.
@Positive742 Thank you so much, Bala. I'm glad you are finding value in this series. Thank you for watching and commenting. Oh yes, it was a bit of a challenge. The wind was very cold. I headed outside in my coat and boots, and then "stripped down"! LOL😂 Anything for the sake of human health and education, Bala!😜Have a wonderful day, my friend.
@jokich6379 LOL😂That's so funny! My nitric oxide video is what hooked you in? And now here we are talking about your walking pattern and how it relates to pain! It's been quite an adventure. Thank you for coming on this ride with me, my friend.💖
Hey @mulimanawa-hunt5120 Happy to see you here! I'm so glad you got some value from this video. Thank you so much for watching. I hope to see you on Sunday for the workshop so that you can get a better sense of how to apply this to your own body! Have a great day.💖
You are are so incredibly smart. It's amazing the amount of information you have to give us. I have been fortunate that I have never had any body pain in my life. You are truly amazing. GREAT video!
@williamhenry3337 You have never had ANY pain?! May I ask how old you are? That is incredible! What do you attribute most to your perfect pain-free health?
@@BELightTTI will be 75 years old next month. I still weigh the same weight and still wear the same 29" waist jeans that I did when I graduated H.S in 1967. Last time I was at a doctors office was in 1969. One $4 prescription in my adult life (antibiotic for a root canal). No aches or pains. No acid reflux or bloating. I started lifting weights at age 11. Never smoked, did drugs and never even had a cup of coffee in my life. Just kept my BMI at about 19.5 my entire life. YEARS AGO I was doing half squats with 600 lbs so that might have strengthened my joints. Never got flu or covid shots. I am getting my first blood test this April just to see what it says. I am Apoe2 so that may factor in.
@@williamhenry3337That's right! I remember you telling me this all before. Such an incredible life story! You are the living example of the ideal lifespan + healthspan. Great job, William. Yes, maybe the genetics help, but you are also making excellent lifestyle choices. You are one of my heroes, for sure. I hope to be like you at your age. And what about emotional health? You've never had to face any major trauma? Or you just find that you are very resilient and able to move forward without obsessing about the past? It's truly amazing, William. One day, if you are open to it, I might like to interview you and get your life story and perspective. It would be very cool to document your story and show others the power of lifestyle choices. Have a great day!
@@BELightTT Unfortunately I have had MASSIVE TRAUMA in my life. I worked at jobs for 52 years I didn't like working 10 hours a day 6 days a week for 52 years. The last 16 years I was getting up at 2:15am and commuting 660 miles a week. When I was 56 years old I came home from work to find a dead bolt on the master bedroom door. My 53 year old wife had moved a 31 year old guy into the house. He was leaving notes on the refrigerator door saying "I'm "F"ing your wife and there's nothing you can do about it (he didn't abbreviate it). Too much information. I lived like that for a year and a half. Seven years ago something a thousand times worse happened that I can't even put in writing. You are going to be like Jeanne Calment.
I wear minimalist zero gravity shoes. They are comfortable and I like the theory behind wearing such shoes. Does padding in shoes help with discrepancies? I hike and walk. Average walk time is 20 minutes to a mile. Tend to be a bit slower than others. Hike with groups and they are like runaway horses. I do know if I stand for a long period of time, my back will burn- especially upper back. Thought lung power may be reduced because have had a lot of bronchitis and perhaps exposure to chemicals.
@jokich6379 I'm with you! I am a big believer in being barefoot as much as possible and am a big supporter of the minimalist shoe craze. It is so important to keep strength and coordination in the intrinsic muscles of your feet....especially as we age. Having said that, if there is a true leg-length discrepancy, it can be very hard for people to walk barefoot, as their pelvis will naturally go out of alignment, which then trickles up the entire spine. For some people, it can cause big problems and for some people, the proper "lift" or support under the shorter foot can be a game-changer. In the end, like with most things, it's best to look at the individual in front of you and customize your suggestions to that person, rather than offering cookie-cutter advice. The burning in your upper back could definitely be a postural issue! And it for sure could be connected to your breathing. It might be worth your while to investigate your posture a bit more. Thanks, as always, for watching and commenting. I appreciate you. Have a great day!
@1draganaradovanovic I've never heard of her, no. But thank you so much for putting it on my radar. I am also principally a fascial therapist. That was the bulk of the work I used to do in my private practice. Deanna's work looks interesting for sure! There are so many methods out there doing a combination of fascial release, breathing, and postural rebalancing. They're all good! And if you find one that really works for you, all the better!🙌Thanks so much for watching and for adding to this conversation. I really appreciate you. Have a great day!
@@BELightTT I started blocking and it feels really good. Block therapy also works on resetting the body back into symmetry, that is why I thought it could be interesting for you. I myself am also new to it so I am learning. Your knowledge and dedication are amazing and inspirational. Thank you.
@@1draganaradovanovicAw, thank you so much for your kind words. Keep me posted on your blocking experience. It sounds great! As I said, when it comes to making changes in the body, you can't go wrong with breathing and fascial release, plus the occasional strength element to set the new pattern in place. I wish you luck with your practice and I'm glad it's already feeling so good! 💖
