What about slides? Are those okay? Or same thing?

So would you say that pec minor tightness in combination with the posterior tightness would cause forward head posture due to tightened neck muscles as a result of compensation along with brachial plexus restrictions and potential breathing difficulties?

This would’ve saved me months of research if I had found this sooner 🤣🤣🤣 thank you so much, after a few back to front digs with the lacrosse ball, already feeling massive tension release all through my left side ❣️

Can you demonstrate the kneeling stretch you mention in which you’re on a bed or chair? Knee replacement person here!

I'm so pleased I found this post. Such an articulate and comprehensive tutorial...just what I needed. Thank you

I'm a truck driver. How do I avoid bad posture?

Got into them a little over a year ago, hoping to fix my many problems. The foot soreness is easily overcome by breaking into them slowly. And I do feel they make my feet stronger. However, these days I feel that my barefoots are appropriate for some activities (like the gym, boxing, cleaning house, etc) but if I’m doing a lot of walking or standing (especially on concrete or pavement) I’m better off with more support. Even then, I think wide toe box shoes that aren’t quite barefoot (like Altras , for example) are a good thing. I also noticed that -at this time - much of the physiotherapist community has not all officially jumped onboard with barefoot shoes. Correct me if I’m wrong, of course. Thanks for all the great videos.

I was a bit stressed for a couple weeks making an appt. w/Hip surgeon to get left hip checked out as painful in groin and hip capsule, but I wish I found you first. Guess I could cancel the appt. which is in a couple weeks. I shall try this as my low right back is very tight and just trying this w/you right now, seemed to make a small difference already! I am trying to avoid any surgeries as I do not do well w/them so thank you!

Had an ultrasound saying that i have a snapping gracilis. so my gracilis constantly feels tight and constantly feels like it needs to snap every time i extend my leg. (gracilis and medial hamstrings). ive done so many countless stretching and strengthen exercises but cant get anything to work. any thoughts on what i could do? my condition is called snapping pes anserinus...

I'm so fortunate to have found your channel. Thank you for this

My preschooler occasionally gets mysterious pain on the top of his feet. No idea what it could be other than "growing pain". We used to think it was how he was sitting but that seems to have been ruled out.

i love the shorts

This is a very good video mate, especially identifying ribcage / thoracic as the reason why the ac would become separated. and also saying that the reason the pec gets tight constantly is it is being put in a shortened position by the ribcage. the only thing i would add here is that there are ways to go at it without the massage ball. breathing exercises in a variety of positions, using gravity to assist and also using a variety of reaches (high reach v low reach) biases air into different parts of the ribcage resulting in expansion of the jammed up areas, if drills are done well enough the ribcage becomes mobile again. it's too late for my AC though ha ha

Hi Grant, thanks for your videos; I’m just wondering if you have any suggestions/videos to loosen the Piriformis muscle? Cheers - Yana

Great video! Thank you

Should we avoid pressups.

No sooner i think iknow whats going on, based on what physios have told me, then i find this. Had a bad shoulder for 4 months now, been giving excercises to do, still its still there. I suspect i may have this.

I need help. it’s been months of this pain.

Do you have other insight to helping this go away? As my son is suffering from this in more ways than one, we are opting for prp injections and physical therapy.

Is it normal to feel sore after doing the stretch? I did it very well today and my femurs had so much more range of motion and it felt amazing. It’s been years since I felt my femurs actually in its proper place. But now I’m sore. So 2 questions… Is that normal? And will it get loose if I continue to stretch the capsule and then cause it to be unstable? Or what would Happen if you constantly need to stretch? Thanks!

Mine is weak and long and gets tight because i have si joint dysfunction and psoas dysfunction.

I really think this has helped my ankle and balance!! Thank you🥰

Can you re-upload this vide with a higher volume? I can barely hear you on my Mac Studio at maximum volume

So cool that you actually showed ways to deal with these issues, instead of just mentioning them as potential problems contributing to a bakers cyst. Thank you!

i am experiencing light to moderate pain in sij area (like a band of pain in my low back and hip as u mentioned) on one side from past 2 years. i was having hip discomfort and tightness on the same side . i was doing a lot of tissue work stretching and strengthening on the hips, the symptoms eased a bit but never went away . now after watching your video i have started working on my lower back, and feeling some good improvements. can you tell after how long does this process take to treat low back to get completely healed. i want to return to favorite activities.thank you

best relevant psoas info on YT, thank you

Since I found your Utube, I have stopped looking at other feeds. Yours is to the point, clear- with AMAZING RESULTS 🎉 Thanks to your channel, I have stopped limping due to ankle pain. For months, I had fruitless physio therapist visits and countless hours I spent watching other Utubers. Your lacrosse ball and tighten the muscle, then release is a life changer. Hope you get 10 Million subscribers 🤞

What about sore IP thumb joint t?? Little swollen too on the left side of my right thumb

I think your video hit the nail on the spot. I have DQT while suffering from neck pain at the same time. I changed my pillow recently and woke up with lesser sore neck than before and after watching your video, I found that my DQT symptoms become less painful. I'm so grateful to your video. I think if I were to tell my doctor and hand therapist about this, they will think that I am talking rubbish.... thank you 👍

Felt like a great explanation at first watch! Need to watch a few times over to digest it all, find some answers, and put a plan of recovery into action. Edit: subd! Greetings & appreciation from Austin

How do I help AC ligaments heal tighter and help lessen the bump? I’m still waiting for an appt to see a physical therapist. Injury occurred in R shoulder almost four months ago, FEB2024. Got athletic tape but no idea how to apply. Hoping to be told there *is* a way to prevent the bump being permanent. If it’s not too late, I’ll take the pain, and put in all the training it takes. Just don’t know how. Last physicians I saw asked how long ago - 12 weeks. They said something like “healing times over, rehabilitation time begins”. Being told by a very confident NP that I should only hope that it isn’t too late before I see the PT for advice, answers, and training to mitigate deformities whilst softly shaking his head in a mild pity. It made my self consciousness of it so much worse. Like, no matter how desperately dedicated I got into strength training, felt feeling like I will always be less in potential. Forever “weaker” than before. I’ll put the work in if it’s not too late. The accident was a bit traumatic- flying shoulder plant on a snowboard. I was seeing stars and only felt pain. Hairline fractures don’t scare me like this does and I’ve had five of those between three occasions. Dislocated wrists too healed fine, but every day I’m asking when it will go away. 98% of the pain feels gone but it sucks picturing buffalo wing deboning every spanking day. Is it *really* just cosmetic when it doesn’t look or feel that way?

Not only surprising but shocking that my groin could loosen up so much, just from stretching my lower back!

Great stuff. I think these three stretches really helped me immediately. But what's most uncomfortable for me sitting cross-legged is the groin, kind of where the leg comes down and joins the pelvis on the inner thigh. Do you have any stretches for that part of the hip?

Omg. Thank you!!

Years of ballet lessons since childhood have heavily impacted the natural position of my feet when walking. Ballet tends to normalize the feet being in positions where they’re turned outward and toes are pointed. I’ve danced for so long that these position have become second nature for me. In ballet, first position is standing with the heels together, and the toes pointed outward. Sometimes I notice myself naturally standing this way, because I’ve done it so much 😢 How do we correct our foot positioning and walking when we’ve been doing it incorrectly for so many years?

I got plantar fasciitis about 4-5 years ago (from a sudden increase in running I think) and that was with traditional running trainers on. As it was so painful even when getting up from sitting down a short while (like when on a flight) I started doing foot and ankle exercises that I found online and wearing Birkenstocks around the house for the arch support. No barefoot anywhere apart from in the shower! I also wore orthotic footbeds in my hiking boots and work shoes and that really helped, I had never needed orthotics before but they helped massively with the healing process. It took about 1-1.5 years to go completely. On thru hikes I kept getting blisters on the outside of my big toe and on my little toe so having seen people wearing Altra Lone Peaks in Chamonix I got some of them about a year ago as they were so much wider and they eliminated that problem immediately. I was worried the plantar fasciitis would come back as they had no arch support at all but it hasn’t. I now wear Merrell Trail Glove 6 to work and they are great, the Vapor Glove 6 is much thinner on the sole so you can feel every stone underneath your foot so I’d only use those in the gym for strength and mobility training. The Altra Lone Peaks and the Merrel Trail Gloves are ok for walking/running on pavement but I wouldn’t want to run far in them I’d be scared to try. For running on pavement I use my Brooks Glycerin 20 as they are wide enough too. Haven’t used an orthotic for ages now, only in ski boots as they’ve been in there from the start.

The couch stretch. How?! My flexors are way too tight to get anywhere near upright. Just keep pushing?

Brilliant video

I’m wondering if my walking shoes heals r too high & making the front of my feet & big toes hurt like heck. Paid good money for Hoka & Brooks.

Our ankles are made to withstand imense amounts of load, I doubt that a band with some 30-50kg can really move the joint, but I'm no expert. Any thoughts?

I have had it on and off for 12 years. Been lucky and had a 4 year gap of no problems. Had a massive set back and been struggling the last 4 weeks. Going to try the advice you have given see if it helps. Not many doctors are helpful with this.

how can you sit that way ? my hips would sna[p

Very nice and correct informations Highly appreciated ❤

Valuable perspective, thank you. Regarding practicality, are we supposed to be doing the neck ball rolling daily? hourly? Preventatively or reactively? I have recurring tendonitis in my hands and forearms, and my fingers become stiff to bend, also feel slight sensation in bicep/shoulder. If i rest for weeks i can use the mouse/keyboard but soon the pain comes back after a few days of intense use, so i need a long term solution... Is it worth me trying to get either an MRI or ultrasound ? I used to do the same motions/activity endlessly when younger for years without issue before I developed problems, I'm honestly so frustrated. Please advise if you would be so kind, thank you 🙏🏻

I'm excited to try it thank you Always nice to have options

My 58 year old mother has baker's cyst and rheumatoid arthritis. Could you recommend some exercises that might help her heal and deal with the stiffness and pain at the back of the knee?

My barefoot journey started with running shoes; running would always give me knee pain and I heard that landing on the ball of your foot rather than your heel could help. The guy at the store warned me to take it easy, but I ignored him and did my normal run. I couldn't walk for a few days after that lol, but overall I did see benefits over time. I eventually got into barefoot shoes for every day use after experiencing ankle and knee pain from basic movements like walking and squatting. Those shoes combined with exercises from Ben Patrick (kneesovertoesguy) genuinely transformed my life. I almost gave up on barefoot shoes at one point as they exposed an issue with my hip, leading me to be more flat footed than I should, but your video on posterior tibial tendinitis helped me through that. The only downside is the selection of shoes is much smaller. I used to love my Birkenstocks, but so far I haven't found a sandal that looks as nice and is flexible with no arch support. It does seem like there are more brands catching onto the trend though.

Been waking up with really tight calves for the last few months. I do yoga everyday so this had me puzzled. After watching this I realized I switched to a shoe with a raised heel awhile back because of some arch pain I was having. I work on my feet all day long, so this morning I created a wedge with my mat I stand on so my toes would be more elevated while I stand, good idea? Bad idea? Thanks

15 years on and off thanks to injuries. I came back to barefoot shoes last year after a break of 2 years and was almost a newbie. Foot muscle strength had deteriorated that fast plus I gained weight. So I worked on foot strength and bought winter barefoot shoes too to not break up walking. Snow and felt insole softened the foot landing and was easier on my leg injuries than my summer shoe on asphalt. So if you are overweight, have injuries and weak foot muscles it may be a good idea to walk on soft surfaces possibly with a soft insole too. Grass or snow are better training surfaces than asphalt and a thicker sole and insole than on barefoot socks or the thinnest barefoot shoes can reduce injury chances. Treading on the whole foot instead of landing on the heel helps in lessening pains. Do not buy barefoot shoes that are a lot longer than the longest toe because the front can stick to ground. Half a pinky more length in the shoe toebox than the longest toe should work for most. Almost a year of walking and 2 km is about the most I can walk without pains. It can take months to get adjusted to even a few hundred meters. Overdoing training bites back hard easily.

Neatly explained, thank you so much for this video…i needed this
