[email protected]ParticipantRomwod is basically a site that does a 20 minute yoga routine. The movements are static and the main premise is to breathe in the static stretches and let your muscles relax into a new range of motion.
You could do the 7 week trial and see how you like it.[email protected]Participanthttp://www.mobilitywod.com/daily/friday-may-20th-2016/
I like to go with the May 20th mwod as an intro into getting your toes involved and determining how well your toes move.I think because he does one leg at a time he ends up making it a little more complicated for a beginner.If you are having a hard time with the video, I would grab a yoga mat, kneel on your ankles and see if you can reach over head and bend backwards.The other part of this is also to relax and breathe. You can’t be scared of this exercise or have this cause pain for you. You want to make your brain relax into the new range of motion.[email protected]ParticipantLayman here:
Before you receive some advice from trained professional on the forum, I would recommend that you do some t-spine and shoulder work and find any asymmetry up there. Those shoulder mobs end up attaching to that QL so that will end up given slack.My vote is that its a strength imbalance starting from the top. Your right side compensates for the left side.[email protected]ParticipantYeah I get that too but more of a Clunk or a thump sound. I can’t really find it though because I can’t feel it. I get it more so when I pigeon pose my leg while on my back.
[email protected]ParticipantFigure out where that tightness really is and either use a band and or smash technique to resolve it.
Retest using the 10 minute squat[email protected]ParticipantStanding, walking, sitting…….sleeping? Perhaps the hardest most expensive part of everything? It is hard enough to change while fully conscious, how about when I am asleep. Worse, having a crappy bed but don’t have the 3k to throw at a decent one and even then not knowing whether it is the right fit. From what I gathered, your bed should be soft and almost like a hammock shape. For majority of us with with anterior tilt issues that is what is recommended…
[email protected]ParticipantWalt,
A lot of people will ask whether or not you analyzed up stream as well. QL, Psaos, Hip flexors, T spine, shouldersOther people will also ask about the symmetry of your body.You may be using your one side more so then the other causing tightness. I think one person brought up the idea of having good external rotation on one side and bad external rotation on the otherside as a sign that your body is compensating.I don’t think any banded exercise is going to really fix this type of issue. In my understanding this type of issue needs a physical therapist to watch you move and also use there hands on your body and then watch you move again. I imagine as soon as they fix you, you will need lots of coaching to catch yourself falling into the same bad habits.[email protected]ParticipantFor flu:
Hot bath with epsom salthydration: mineral water…compression socksginger tea….Make sure you are eating clean as possible….[email protected]ParticipantThe recent pelvic floor episode was talking about gut smashing helping adductors too.
[email protected]ParticipantI guess it depends on how it felt before surgery. There is no sharp hot nervy pains for me.
it is interesting how hard it is to sew it back up.Thanks for your perspective though.[email protected]ParticipantI think you are right that I am over thinking it in the sense that I only go to the gym like 4 hours a week. It’s a fun activity/hobby. However, i’d like to lift heavier weight — and use the muscles I am suppose to use. For sure, I have torso lean in that video. I’d like to use my glutes, hammies, and quads for the lift and not my back…etc
[email protected]ParticipantSquat: powerlifting style. Starting Strength. I usually squat with crossfit shoes rather then oly shoes.
So since I am doing starting strength I am doing overhead press, deadlift (hex bar), bench press (sometimes barbell sometimes dumbbell), and sometimes clean.I am following a starting strength program but being very careful and really just using those movements as a test for range of motion.other exercises are pull ups, dips, tire flips, glute ham raise ( i am at the beginning stages of doing them without assistance)I warm up with a 10 minute row, hip circle stuff, and then bands.The twist in my upper back seems to be the starting point of all of this. I Peanut smash, do capsule stuff, but scapula seems like its not firing correctly and its hard to attack a spot.I am thinking sleep might be another issue as my bed is not soft enough. I figure four right away. I’ve tried using pillow as a prop but end up getting rid of it in the middle of the night.It is more difficult doing this by myself, but how else am I going to get a physical therapist to help if I don’t have a injury? I need a doc to right a script.11/08/2014 at 11:25 am in reply to: Pelvis torsion? left side pelvis forward? left leg shorter? #75460[email protected]ParticipantI am not an expert, but I may be dealing with the same issue but on the opposite side. My right side is twisted forward and thus my left side is twisted back.
I am attributing my issue with a tight T-spine (on right side) and internally rotated shoulders That translates to a tight Rightside QL, which might be the main problem and thus leads to the list below.Left side (back story with me is I think I have a hernia in my left quad) I would imagine that I would have compensation issues with it but Roop and the gang don’t think so.Left hamstring becomes tighterLeft hip SEEMS more flexible especially with knee tracking on outside of pinky toe, however, my left side external rotation is lacking.Left glute max inhibits/weakens as well.QL is not as tight as my right sideErector spinae seems pretty clean for me, I can have a peanut with a 45lb plate without any pain.Right sideRight hamstring more flexibleMore muscle mass in Quad and glute maxRight hip is tighter. I can’t speak for my illacus, but I do gut smash with the supernova and then put lacrosse ball on ql.Activated, stronger glute max as well.I don’t heel strike mainly because I am very light and careful on my feet.10/17/2014 at 9:16 pm in reply to: Explaning the Anatomy of the Ankles When Using Banded Distractions #75386[email protected]ParticipantCould my subtalar joint be tight? When I go through this video, it feels like my post tib gets tight again all the way to my big toe.
