Connor, thank you so much! From the instructional design standpoint, your content is exceptional in these ways: You tell viewers these things > CAUSES of pains or problems > You show SKELETAL EXAMPLES of the causes > HOW to perform the movements and exercises > Again showing detailed EXAMPLES of performing the exercises AND equally important > HOW NOT to perform certain movements that commonly cause us to ‘screw up’ the movements! Absolutely PERFECT instructional content⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is insane…. After doing the excercise, especially the first one , it feels like the first time in years to have sensation back. It’s quite traumatic actually. I feel like it’s hard to focus on work. I just feel weird overall. I know it will get even better as it begins to heal cause I think I’ve been like this for about a decade. Thank you Connor. This is life changing stuff
Oh. My. God. I’ve been trying to “floss” that tightness away for a few months now unsuccessfully, and this finally did the trick… in minutes! The thing about your clickbait titles is that they actually work! ❤ Much love brother
OMG! This WORKS! Relief was IMMEDIATE for me! It lasted a few hours, did it again (the standing stretch) for 1 min, woke up this am the pain is GONE! I still have other issues but… THIS! WOW! THANKS! 💗
Ive watched this exercise tens of times. Only this time was i able to do it even remotely. Im not sure what changed, but if your like me and cant do it right the first time, just keep watching the video and try again day after day. IT FEELS GREAT
You came as a saviour to me❤, I am literally feeling emotional to tell you guys that the first exercise have worked for me. I had been suffering from back pain and sciatica from past 6 months. In only two days, my pain got vanished by doing this exercise. I don't know him nor I followed him earlier, I just got this video recommended by the RUclips itself. Thank you brother from the bottom of my heart ❤ and yaa , you have earned an active subscriber😊.
Since 3 years I have chronicle back pain, and sciatica on both sides. This was so mindblowing! At the first I thought another "Hipster" youtuber with so fancy shit, but then I give it a try and it was so good! instant pain reliev!! I'am impressed!
Just started Beginner Body program, and taking it really slow, and I want to make sure I'm not 'short cutting' the process...then saw this. Brilliant! Just wondering if you think it's better to do this drill before or after the exercises in BBR - I'm in phase one. Love everything I've seen and read so far! Thank you very much!
Thank you Conor for these exercises. I felt that the second exercise of strengthening the glute max to do more of its job, to be helpful. After 2 sets of the second exercise, and testing The 90 degree foot lift test showed that the second exercise helped my leg to go higher on my painful side!
The little raise standing up rotation of the hip after a bit started burning the muscles right where I've come to believe the muscles aren't pushing the hip to the right place and also slightly in the back where it usually gets tense. Felt really nice after. I know it's not supposed to be a muscle developing exercise, but the rotation to move the knee just felt so good. Maybe this will also play a role in getting the other side foot less spread out and have better knee spread when squatting as the situation develops with the hip. I don't have piriformis pain or anything, just otherwise stupid mobility and stability.
I recently canceled a left hip replacement surgery and have decided to work some of your exercises and hopefully avoid surgery. My pelvis definitely tilts left and my left leg is always in what appears to be maximum external rotation. I get major pinching when I try to internally rotate that leg. My right leg points to the center line and seems to have normal internal and external rotation. These exercises are providing comfort and I am wondering if my ability to internally rotate my left leg will improve. I think my pain would be greatly reduced if that could happen. Your videos have taught me a lot about my body. Thanks
Hi Conor, wanted some clarification on something. At first you mention that hip flexion is associated with hip ER (2:20), but then you state in the straight leg raise (which is also hip flexion), it helps assess hip IR. Can you clarify why its different? Thanks so much for all your hard work Conor!
Are there any cues someone could do while walking who is experiencing chronic left adductor and flexor pain and right Piriformis and right plantar fasciitis pain? Ie: finding heel on right side to encourage internal bias and hamstring activation with a mindful extension push off with foot on left side to adjust internal bias to restore external rotation on left?
@@googleadmin1515 no, but I tried asymmetric split stance deadlifts with a grossly elevated (left) heel and not on my sets on the right. I don't think I'm ready for it/need to come back more on both sides first cause I had worse front of hip impingement the next day without fail.
Im having medium to really bad pain mostly from my back to my right hip/ leg. My mom says my right foots always turned inward slightly. Maybe thats the cause.
I highly recommend taking Conors anterior pelvic tilt course on his website... Fixed all my pelvic floor issues for only 40 bucks, and that was after spending thousands on multiple physical therapists, chiropractors, and pelvic floor specialists that got me nowhere because they were not trained by the postural restoration institute like Conor is. Gave me my life back. Depending on how bad your condition is it may take you longer to complete the course and build up to the reps and sets demanded, but stick with it twice a day and watch the miracles unfold. Then take his beginner body restoration course to put the icing on the cake... Life changing
is it common to feel some ankle and lower leg muscles really fire up when trying to keep foot contact/reference on the wall during these floor exercises? feels like im working super hard just to keep the references.
I am actually experiencing this same problem myself. I had a bulging l5 S1 injury on my left side last year due to attempting a pistol squat with a 50 pound feedsack over my shoulder. (0/5 stars, would not recommend) I was in a lot of pain. So, needless to say I was babying it more than Ishould have. So, I started physical therapy, started seeing improvement on my left side, finished my 10 essions, thought nothing more of it for a couple months. Gradually the tingling and pain on the left side started to fade, only to start up on my right side. I have started having sciatica like symptoms on my right side, calf fatigue, (not weakness, just feeling like it got tired faster, like doing calf raises made it wanna quit sooner) I started to suspect I might be having piriformis syndrome on the right side but I couldn't figure out why. I am wondering if perhaps the injury on my left side actually is the main culprit in my issue instead of me focusing all my attention on the right leg with the weird feelings. So I looked at my legs closely today and (I can't believe I didn't notice this until today) that my legs are rotated differently.If I had to guess, I would say my left leg is rotated externally, (my left knee tracks to the left when I squat, from my perspective) and my right leg is rotated internally, drawing my right piriformis too far, pressing against my nerve and causing the weirdness on my right side. Could this all be due to a postural imbalance brought on my compensations I keep unknowingly inflicting on myself every time I get acutely injured?
I'm sorry I was being confusing. I meant that I had a bulging disc and sciatica on my left side, but it started getting better, then I started having sciatica pains on my right side, but along with a dull ache in my butt which is more associated with piriformis syndrome rather than the bulging disc sciatica I had on my left side. The two are different, and they can't magically jump sides of course. I have two different issues, I just was wondering if they might be related in some fashion, because your body is a kinetic chain not only up and down, but also left and right.
Hello Conor. I'm Mark. I've been watching for awhile. Lol I've got multiple issues. Lower back, neck, shoulders mainly. Mid thorasic is a big issue. A segment seems stuck in flexion. Some of this is associate with trauma and breathing issues I'm sure. And, pretty significant forward pelvic tilt. I have a history of sitting a lot. Anyway, I didn't see a way to connect other than the consultation form. Was considering the whole body or anterior pelvic tilt options. What might you suggest to begin all things considered?
I have taken both of his courses (beginner body restoration and anterior pelvic tilt) to fix my body from some severe injuries to my left ribs and sternum, and pelvis... I can highly recommend taking both, but sounds like you should start with anterior pelvic tilt first... Take your time with the exercises and progression through the weeks, I actually kept doing EVERY exercise twice a day as it progressed, and just added the new ones as they came to achieve the best results. Took me a while to work my way up to the sets and reps demanded in some of the exercises because my body was so out of whack and weak. I had been through multiple physical therapists and chiropractors including pelvic floor specialists spending thousands of dollars over 3 years, but his $40 courses is what finally fixed me, thank God! Conors knowledge and work with the postural restoration institute is miraculous for people like me.
@@tahoeguy1743 Thanks. I appreciate that! I'll probably begin with the anterior pelvic tilt program. It's amazing to me how incredibly inferior many of the "physical therapy" protocols are. They simply fail to address underlying causes to dysfunction and the associated symptoms. I've collected lots of research on RUclips and elsewhere that has been of benefit to me. Rarely is implementing just a few stretches and exercises going to resolve one's issues. People usually aren't going to therapy for minor issues. Similarly with chiropractic adjustments. In conjunction with other treatments it can be helpful. Alone, nothing whatsoever is achieved long-term. There's underlying issues that are needing confronting. But, we continue these things and commonly recommend surgeries when they don't bring meaningful relief. Anyway, best to you! What people don't understand is that most things CAN be improved if not resolved altogether. It requires awareness, consistency and a commitment. Support from those providing complementary care is helpful as well. Get started and keep going! People can experience less pain, a more enjoyable life.
Connor, thank you so much!

The screw home mechanism biases the femur to IR

Does this exercise work on chronic and at times debilitating sciatica?
I wish you'd made this video ten years ago when my presentation was this simple
Can't make any comment's in Saskatchewan canada
@@bonnie3030 it's super unlikely, but did you visit Croatia around this time last year?
@@googleadmin1515 bingo bango, I have the splint, orthotics, you name it

I'm saving your vidio ID like to know what to do I can't walk well sit or lift my legs
Im having medium to really bad pain mostly from my back to my right hip/ leg. My mom says my right foots always turned inward slightly. Maybe thats the cause.
Any info or exercise for elbow valgus
So weird - my issues are on my left side but when I do the standing stretch like that, I cant get to the point where I feel a stretch at all
Suffering from pelvic floor dysfunction (hard flaccid) 😣😣
