Hey, just happened to stumble across this channel. Love these videos, I like how well-explained and informative, yet simple and to the point they are. I know they're from 7 years ago but still, thank you for making them!
I love this so much! I will use this on my client later today. I have given her all of the glute activation exercises that I know and that have worked well with many other clients but she still struggles. I just did this one and my glutes fired up more than ever! Thank you for sharing this. Getting her glutes stronger will help reduce her hip flexor and low back pain. Thank you!!!!
My PT gave me a ball & belt exercise to do at home & you essentially combined the two she showed! First she had me squeeze the ball between my knees with my ankles bound by the belt, then she put the belt around my knees & the ball between my ankles & had me push out on the belt. I thought I could go without doing these since she gave me a plethora of other exercises to do, but my pain is getting bad again. Thanks to Amazon, I now have a proper ball & belt for these! I'll have to try your version tomorrow😊 Thank you❤️
Are there any good excercises for pirformis syndrome? I'm trying to also build glute med/min but all basic adduction excercises fire the pirformis and make pain worse .
It looks like our bp is wihout a manual hand pump. Am I supposed to buy a manual bp and detach the cuff part somehow to make it look like yours? Thank you for the video with good explanation.
It greatly helped me with my muscle spasms and severe cramps I was having 24 hours a day. It’s uncomfortable while you are having it done, but the results are awesome and I’m not experiencing the cramps or spasms anymore.
I have never been able to touch my toes in my life. Now I have a torn Right Knee ACL reconstructed and slipped disc L5 and L6, I have been doing toe touch progressions but never been able to touch my toes hence, I can never sit in a perfect L position. Do you have a way to help? @foundationpt
TY. I think maybe you should mention that keeping your mouth closed during the exercise would help? I've been using the Buteyko method of breathing for about 15 years but I am also using my neck muscles to breathe with and need to learn to breathe with my lungs instead. When I breathe, you can see my neck area being sucked in.
I love how you call your acupuncture needle a dry needle. Dry Needling is Orthopedic anatomy based acupuncture. Any Chinese acupuncturist who works in orthopedics does exactly what you are doing. Call it what you want, you are using acupuncture needles. No such thing as a "dry needle" per se. Just sayin. And the application of electrical stim as you are doing is part and parcel of Chinese style orthopedics, that point you are on is Zu San Li and we needle ist 1.5 inches deep, with estim, for drop food, for example.
You’re not wrong. We do use the same needle, just with different schooling under our doctorate. However we are not acupuncturists which is why the APTA deemed the service “dry needling” when performed by a licensed physical therapist. The term was chosen because it is not a “wet needle” which is used to deliver medications or fluid. Acupuncture is a broad term while all we do is orthopedic based dry needling. Thank you for your comment.
They don't call it acupuncture needles because they're not performing acupuncture with them. It's to differentiate what practice is being used. Very simple to understand.
I've been through hundreds of videos and I can't seem to understand what I'm doing wrong. Either my whole leg tenses up, or my hamstrings and quads activate. Nothing is squeezing back there. My glutes just refuse to do any work. 😭
The only thing that work for me, is standing up straight, slightly tilting hip forward, and squeez butt, but it doesn't seem enough to actually get any workout out of it; maybe enough over time, to get it to activate in other workouts that will hit it harder. There's other ways that work too, but they always include hamstring and give lower-back pain, because glutes aren't doing enough.
This is my problem too, I just can’t leave my legs out of it. I’ve watched soooo many videos and read so many articles and still nothing. Did a workout the other day to work my glutes.... my hamstrings are SHOT....
