To my knowledge it improves ir because the ground acts as a reference/constraint to push that bottom leg into ir. I could be wrong and in sure zac could/will explain it way better
I have pretty bad/rounded shoulders and back swayback I’m pretty much compressed everywhere when should I do this? I’ve been trying to expand the back but just I expand my chest first?
Lungs fill from the bottom up so traditionally you'd want to restore external rotation first. But especially on swayback rectus strategy will interfere with that, so reduce that first. Side lying activities may be a good starting point
Hi Zac, I am not sure which playlist I should be looking at if I am this kind of person: I have an anterior orientation on both sides, but my L side is more forward than R. I have a kindof swayback posture but with a R oblique tilt (is that possible as a narrow?). My L hip IR increases immediately if I push myself from R to left (like L sidelying R propulsion or Hip approximation exercise with R leg on a box). Which playlist would you be looking at to improve my hip/shoulder measures? My right shoulder IR is terrible but probably because I need to turn my thorax to the L (R oblique?)
Wait a minute.....does it mean you will let me do the backbends now???....Try to reach the elbows and the head to the floor. Feels exquisite!!! ......Human Metrics meet backends: a historical day for me today :)))
hey Zac I’m gonna start incorporating your rolling ideas to improve A-P. Is there anyway to compress the ribs using sidelying? I have one side lower ribs expanded with winging scapula and I want to try compressing this side rib cage to see if it helps with guiding the expansion towards a-p
Question: For the supine positions - the body is being assisted backwards into the ground. When we go QDP we teach the body to push itself back ( more active) - then if we use this leg position could we floor press to get the body to shift backwards and improve measurements amusing the person can press - hold the foot contacts and PSIS position?
Hello zac, i want to send my most grateful greetings all the way from Morocco! Your channels have been life changing for me as someone who has been in chronic pain for years, I am finally seeing improvements! so so so so thankful for all the huge knowledge u put out for many of us across the globe🙏
You bring up a fair point. I was getting some changes with people, but can be finnicky pending ribcage size. I actually now prefer yoga blocks or even an airex pad, like in this one - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XkxWGUoJopw.html
I've lately been using 2-3 pads with this move and that seems to do the trick. Really only had 1 person where trap was a concern. If that, I'll bring the elbows up and out more
This looks cool Zac. I have the problem when I try to work on my shoulder external rotation - say with rotator cuff exercises, i will often compensate through the thoracic to make the movement happen.
