[email protected]ParticipantIt’s rarely as simple as “This is how you fix <x>”. You listed 4 separate problems in your initial post — do you really think one thing is going to fix them? Or even that each one of them can individually be fixed by just one thing? It doesn’t work that way.
Your current body is the result of 12 years of bad posture. A few stretches or exercises aren’t going to magically fix things in a short timeframe. It’ll take work — lots of reading, mindfulness of your posture throughout the day, and a laundry list of exercises/stretches/rolling/etc.The positive changes will come slowly, just as as the bad ones did.I just gave you the three names that you need. Katy Bowman talks a lot about kyphosis (for example), Jules Mitchell will tell you about how resistance stretching is way vs. static stretching, and Jill Miller will teach you how to do deep tissue massaging on yourself to loosen things up.Every minute you spend posting here is a minute you could have been reading their work. 🙂05/23/2015 at 4:26 pm in reply to: How to fix Posture Problems? Numerous Problems, watched almost all vids, no solution #76027[email protected]ParticipantStatic stretching is, in my view, a part of the overall solution — but a fairly small one. I’m like you — sat all day for about two decades, and have been “recovering” ever since. With time and patience, you can do it.
The folks you want to study on these issues are Katy Bowman, Jill Miller, and Jules Mitchell — the three Wisewomen.[email protected]ParticipantSince no one here can help, check out Katy Bowman’s work — http://www.katysays.com
[email protected]ParticipantThanks!
[email protected]ParticipantStrange. I’m getting “Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here.”
Oh well. 🙂
12/14/2013 at 7:59 pm in reply to: Terminal Knee Extension Part 4? Recommending further action #73453[email protected]ParticipantWere you able to increase your ability to hyper-extend the knee by rotating the tibia inwards per that video? I’ve been working on that for a couple months on my left knee and have seen a bit of progress, but still can’t hyper-extend it nearly as much as my right. It’s frustrating.
[email protected]ParticipantThanks — been trying to increase mobility all-around for the last year. Just trying to figure out if I’m up against some kind of deformity here, of if this curvature could be the result of tightness somewhere.
[email protected]ParticipantThose guys are jokers. You can’t trust anything they say (on this particular issue, at least). I remember back in July when they were saying “end of August”.
[email protected]ParticipantThanks manx — that helps a lot!
[email protected]ParticipantSo… For those of you with decent ankle ROM — does your medial malleolus move as much as your lateral?
[email protected]ParticipantThanks again everyone — I’m implementing your tips right away and we’ll see what happens.
One immediate observation (Danny) is how yucky my posterior tib is — it doesn’t take much pressure with the lax ball at all to generate the pain face. Really an eye-opener — it’s an area that I haven’t been focused on.
[email protected]ParticipantThanks folks. I’ve been wearing minimalist shoes exclusively for a couple years now — that’s why I’m surprised this particular issue hasn’t gotten better. (I even run and hike in five fingers.) I do have arches. I’ll start focusing on this area per the links you posted.
[email protected]ParticipantCheck out Katy Bowman’s work. A good start: http://www.katysays.com/neutral-pelvis/
[email protected]ParticipantDefinitely not knees locked — you want the kneecap relaxed, not lifted.
But not slightly bent either. A straight standing leg is achieved by unlocking the knee, but not bending. The happy median.
