I've had a rotated pelvis for years and have done countless exercises to fix it to no avail. I did this while I watched your video and before the video was over my pelvis was magically fixed! Amazing. Thank you so much for this.
Hi Jen and Tom. Please have a look at this ❤I have a rotated pelvis but it is my bones and joints so I have had excruciating pain for decades. Not been able to exercise for years. These videos help me immensely. Please keep them coming. There's not a lot of help out there in the real world ❤
@@TomMorrison i bought the simplicity mobility program of yours . You cannot believe what I've tried in order to heal my body the last 20 years. This is really priceless 🫶✨🩷 Thank you.
I've told people for years my hips are twisted, I stand twisted! I've been trying to work hip flexors but clearly not like this. Ty! Looking forward to trying this out for the next few days.
😮 Holy crap! I doesn’t realize I had a slightly rostered pelvis… I knew I had alignment issues to sort out but this was another game changer! I never had so much success with getting to the root cause of issues than watching your videos. I think it’s Time to investigate your programs. I never knew you addressed such foundational things to fix issues that help set you up to be able to continue working out!
Awesome news! Yes SMM essentially teaches you how to check everything and without all the waffle like in the content videos, we try to use the language that you will relate to in them or issues you’re naming things but really you’re joints only move a certain number of ways and if you just make sure they’re all good, most things are fine! 😄😄
Thank you for the link to this video! I found both thighs are incredibly tight and initially couldn't feel the stretch for the hip until they loosened off. I am feeling hopeful that I'm on the right path to heal
Great video Tom & Jenny! I've had tight hip flexors and SI Joint issues! After doing this exercise one time on each hip, which by the way wasn't initially easy, I already feel much better! I look forward to working on this each day! Thank you for excellent content! :)
In the example in the video - you demonstrate having the left hip tight/twisted around, but then all of the example stretches were focusing on the right side. If one is twisted as in the example - they should theoretically be focusing on opening the left hip through the stretches prior to retesting?
Yes I say to test both sides to look for a tightness and spend longer on the tighter side, we only focused more on the right hip there for the camera angle as you couldn’t see the other side as well
Thanks once again for the great video, I have a rotated pelvis I can feel one side feels locked and tight (left side feels like it's behind the right side) I have chronic muscle guarding in the left side of my back which is pulling the pelvis round, started seeing a PT who can hopefully resolve this as having alot of back issues because of it, will do what the PT says alongside doing your recommended stretches
@@TomMorrison its rotated but also a little high like my left leg "feels" slightly shorter, the psis on the left side doesn't move at all even when lifting my leg, but the PT dismissed that and said it's all because of the muscles being so tight and guarded
@@FishyDave7 would be worth adding lateral chain stretches and hip hikes anyways I would say! They’re just damn good exercises that everyone should be doing regardless 😄
So the side that’s tight will cause the opposite side to rotate forward usually? My left pelvis is rotated forward and my right hip flexor feels tighter and rotated back.
Thx sir,This is only from which I am going through.Love from India ❤️ Two request sir will you please launch an app in play'store like other' fitness apps And one video on flared ribs on one side.
Similar to this I would say, you can search our anterior pelvic tilt routine too, best thing is to address the hips from all angles, that’s what SMM does if you haven’t checked it out yet 😄 yeah the neck ones are amazing! You’ll not know how you lived without them before!!
3:40 That's me. I do this on the floor, because I have to overextend my back quite a lot and I have my knee rest on some plates in order to get an even greater angle to stretch through. That's the only thing that gives me a nice stretch from which I feel actual release.
@@TomMorrison It never goes away though. I would like to find out why this happens. I realized that I subconciously tend to sit a little bit turned to the right and shortened on the right side. But why would I do that in the first place? Is sitting this way the reason or do I sit like this, because there is another hidden issue? Being onto this topic for like 3 years now I have to say in retrospect I think I always had this issue. In younger years my body was more tolerant to it though, because you don't know about it until your knees hurt and then you realise that your body actually doesn't want to move like you used to.
That statement is what drives our content! 😄 a lot of the times it really is that simple and people end up doing mad shit for MONTHS! Sometimes years 🙈
@@TomMorrison which side is going to need the most work to stop the pelvis twisting is it the twisted side that will need the work or the side where the glute isn’t working so well?
@@buddy3892 the side that appears rotated backwards you will most likely feel the hip flexor on that side being tighter and the glute on that side being weaker, so assess any exercise you do basically and spend longer on the side that struggles more
This helped my mom with low back pain...found out she had a tight R hip Flexor. We are working on lengthen this but she has alot of pain in the knee when we do the couch stretch :(
This definitely helps but the problem I have is my right ql is so tight and keeps pulling me back into my twist and stretches don't seem to hit it right. The bottom part is where sits tightest and ql stretches only seem to hit the top part I find. Any suggestions?
That’s why it’s good to address everything together at the same time, that’s the base of our SMM programme, working on extension, flexion, internal and external rotation along with side stretches and adduction and abduction, you’ll relax and align things and then strengthen it all in the same session
I have a twisted pelvis with my left foot externally rotated but i don't feel the stretch in my hips at all. I mostly feel it in my quads. Could tight quads also result in a twisted pelvis?
Again a really helpful video! I am facing the same issue as in your video (right side of the pelvis is slighty forward) and my left side (gluteal area, and also the left side of the spine up to ribs) feels really tight. Upon the couch stretch the tight sensation is better. But what what does it exactly mean? Is my left side weaker than my right? At least that's how it feels. Could this be the case? Do you have any further exercise recommendations? Thank you in advance!
There’s so many little things that can contribute to this, lack of overall rotation can be one too, ideally best thing to do is get SMM as it hits everything from all angles at the same time 😄
Hey tom i have twisted pelvis and lateral tilt am doing the anterior pelvic tilt routine and lateral chin stretch.dude can i do squat, leg press and other exercises
I found that the side that my hip flexor always feels tighter or more of a bother is the same side what is actually rotated forward which seems counter intuitive from what you're doing, any thoughts?
Could be somewhere else that’s the issue like adductor tightness pulling things instead, it’s important to check extension, flexion, internal and external rotation for both sides, this is just one of the more common ones to see
So if the left hip flexor is tight, that side of the pelvis comes forward or backward? I mostly seem to read that the tight side is forward, but this video suggests that the tight side goes backward.
really it can go either way! But the tighter side will be slightly "closed" or not fully straight, which can shift it forwards or backwards depending on the rest of your body :)
Thank you for taking the time to reply! Do you have any advice on how to objectively figure this out? For example, if the left hip caves in a little (i.e. is more backward), but the right foot is rotated outwards, while the weight is on the left leg but there is a bend back towards the right, and both sides are a little closed, just differently, how do I interpret those results (besides it being scoliosis)?
I have this problem from years now i wanna fix it but the problem is that I'm not able to tell myself which side of my pelvis is rotated. I watched many videos still feeling help less. 😢 I'm explaining my situation down here 👇🏽 I followed the instructions Given in this vid, i noticed that my left side goes forward mean while the right side doesn't move in any way. I thought my left side pelvis is creating problem but then i thought maybe it's the right one now I'm confused and don't know which side should i apply these exercises. If someone reading this plz help me to figure out
Higher hip on one side this is a good one to start doing a few times per day, both sides but longer on the hiked up side ruclips.net/video/3XySfSVGBeg/видео.html
I have a desk work. Cos of which i have started to waddle walk or it seems like a limp where my hip keeps dropping with evry step. Also if i put too much pressure on one leg my inner thigh pains. What are the best exercises for that ?
Is this ok for an anterior pelvic tilt? My right pelvic is tilted forward and left thigh/psoas muscle is always tight. Is this ok to do? Thank you! Are you Located in NJ?
Tom, so help me understand what’s going on. So I do have an extra with a slightly twisted & hiked pelvis. I’ve been dealing with an excruciating pain in my left glute, hip. When I do the begin assessment my right leg/foot falls outwards a bit as well as when I lay flat on. My back the right foot falls to the right, but the pain is in my left glute/Pirformis area with some sciatica when sitting and pain on the left side SI joint. The 90/90 stretch is a doozy but it’s loosing up my hip sockets. My plan is to sit in the 90/90 stretch like you suggested for 30mins a day should I also add these stretches? I mean I am anyways lol but just trying to figure out how to target this head on. Thank you!
There’s lots of things to go after with something like that, so the couch stretch is good to add, also testing for tightness in adductors and testing your strength and balance too, SMM would be good to get and that’ll make sure you’re not leaving anything out, my birthday is on Sunday so it will be discounted 😄
@@TomMorrison maaaan thank you for taking the time to respond back so quickly! I appreciate that!!! Yes, my adductors are horribly tight. I was looking at your SMM program about 2am this morning. lol because this couch stretch was the only thing that gave me relief last night to sleep. So, you’ve made a believer out of me some I’m definitely buying!!! Thanks again.
Can be a bunch of different reasons, if you’re constantly stretching your lower back then it could be that you need to focus more on hip strength and core stability for a while to lose your intolerance to moving from the lower back, have you seen our SMM program yet?
Sometimes can see that yeah, can try working through these exercises daily, ideally check out our SMM program as it will hit everything from all angles!
I have rotatet pelvis while bending, right hip is higher. Left spinal erector is smaller than right and I have sciatic like pain in left leg and left hip flexor is clicking, that' s annoying
Very similar to how I ended up with my l4/L5 L5/S1 disc injuries, there’s lots of free info on this channel but I would definitely check out our program The Simplistic Mobility Method, you need to hit all that stuff at once in a specific order to align everything
I've had a rotated pelvis for years and have done countless exercises to fix it to no avail. I did this while I watched your video and before the video was over my pelvis was magically fixed! Amazing. Thank you so much for this.
Awesome to hear! Keep doing it for a few weeks to lock it in!

Sounds like it could be related, try our bed stretch variation one instead, same principle but less knee pressure

And if it's too stiff to get into these movements. Cramping of hamstrings and grabbing ankle is not happening. So, where/how is the 1st baby steps?❤
Just work on the lunge position at first without the foot up and the more you do it you’ll find you’re able to get into the full variation eventually
