ChingChin WangParticipantActually 3 PT’s took a look at my spine and said it’s all good.
Sometimes it looks like I have a flat back, but the other days it looks like I have a pretty massive APT.
Really confusing sometimes.I miss hip flexion, somedays I can only get 100 degrees without impingement. On other days up to 120. And I miss a lot of internal rotation, especially on the left leg. That and my restricted ankles makes it impossible to squat ass to grass without a buttwink!
For example, if I do a pigeon pose for 3 minutes I get really uncomfortable in the back leg which is in hip extension, and the next that I feel like sore in the front of the hip and have less hip flexion.I hadn’t seen the last video from above, but what the pregnant lady in red said was exectly the same problem I that I have. When I squat I feel really unstable and like my pubic bones are moving.
My flexibility wasn’t that bad a while ago, but I had not thought that I could ever be too mobile?

He mentioned that he also has one for the hamstrings but I can’t find anything.
Can you say me where I can find it?Thank you!

And what is with the spine?
What can I do if I have some hypermobile and some stiff segments in the spine like kelly talks about in this Episode (you can see it in the pictures of my back):
https://www.mobilitywod.com/2014/07/quick-diagnostics-and-first-fixes-round-back-deadlift-set-up-pro-episode-73/
Should I just fix my hip Flexion and it will get better or do I Need to work on the spine directly?11/05/2016 at 1:57 pm in reply to: Stiff lower back, hypermobile mid-back, uneven shoulders, femoral anterior glide (FAGS) #76594ChingChin WangParticipantMobilizing my shoulder to the back of the socket really helps!
Yes I’m working T-Spine and Neck both of it also helps.
I’m adressing my hams only 2-3 times a week, because I have so much to mobilize.
I watched all of them, thank you.
I would like to make a mobility program for upper and lower body, but i feel like I have way to much to carry about.
ChingChin WangParticipantI think it’s mostly ankles, because almost everybody has a better squat with the heel elevated!
But the akles are very hard to improve if you are restricted.If you have a tendency to fall backwards or round your back it’s probably ankles and/or hip flexion.
But if you want to really squat like kelly you also need good hip rotation in flexion and abduction, smashing these muscles will also help with that. You can also do the Olympic Wall Squat kelly uses a lot.
But than you also need to look at the hip capsule. IR in flexion is restricted by many people so doing banded distractions pulling the femur back or to the side with the leg in internal rotation will help!Welcome.
ChingChin WangParticipantI think everybody should be able to 3rd world squats!
2 years ago I couldn’t squat below parallel, today I can squat hamstrings to calves but still got a lot of work to do.
You just need to focus on ankles, knees and hips.
Smashing the quads, rectus femoris and high adductor helps tremendously.
And working on hip flexion, smashing the gut, hip flexors, tfl, glutes.Good luck!
ChingChin WangParticipantTry to smash your high adductor near the hip joint, this really helped me to improve my squat and straddle.
Often times the tissue near the joint gets tight and is pulling on the femur resulting in impingement.

Just my 2 cents!
10/28/2016 at 7:02 pm in reply to: Stiff lower back, hypermobile mid-back, uneven shoulders, femoral anterior glide (FAGS) #76578ChingChin WangParticipantNo, I never was able to sit into a 3rd world squat without Oly-Shoes, spinal flexion or a wide stance, but I didn’t care about my mobility before I discovered MWod.
But shouldn’t every healthy human be able to sit into a deep squat with enough ankle, knee and hip mobility?I already changed my routine, I focus on compound-exercises and stopped isolating muscles like upper traps and front delts.
I was in PT today and she said my spine is aligned, it’s my shoulder musculature who’s pulling on the shoulders. Also my shoulders don’t rotate well in the socket, but I don’t want to stretch the musculature around the joint even more, I’m already very mobile there. I can easily bring my palms together behind my back and have about 110 degrees of external rotation overhead. Maybe this already is hypermobility? Nevertheless my lats feel tight, can I stretch them? What is lacking is internal rotation, my shoulder comes forward at about 30 degrees. And yesterday I almost dislocated my left shoulder reaching overhead, it cracked really loud!
Neck stretching is really making it better, my shoulder is about 2 inches lower when I stretched my neck musculature and my head postion does dramatically improve.My hamstrings are a mess, therapist only needs to touch it and it hurts. But stretching doesn’t help at all, when I stretch them the next day they are tight again or even worse. And when I sit after about 10 minutes it gets really painfull.
I’m just going after my T-Spine, I don’t know how to go after my lower back. I need more flexion at my lumbar (so tight) but more extension at my mid-back? How should I go after that?
Internal rotation in flexion isn’t imrpoving to any remarkeble point, it just feels like bone on bone at about 10 degrees on the left side!
Also I’m not sure if doing the Samson stretch with the band pulling the femur forward, if the femur already is in the front of the socket?
It was never diagnosed, he just diagnosed that my hamstring and lower back is activation before my glutes.
It don’t have a plan for nothing.Thank you!
