I've said it before, but it would be unfair not to say it again: through your Feldenkrais method, suggestions and exercises, I've managed to gain more waist/hips flexibility than I've ever thought of having, and overcome injuries within a few days that previously used to take me weeks. It does feel like magic.

@TaroIwamoto 2 года назад

so wonderful to hear that! Thanks for sharing your experience here!

@coreyschumacher3037 2 года назад

I’ve been trying for ages to figure out how to help extremely tight muscles all around my right scapula. I think this is the answer. Thank you

@jameswinks6721 2 года назад

Very happy to find a Feldenkrais practitioner here. I took a 2 week class in SF 40 years ago and it literally shaped my daily life. I'm 67 and surf daily. I do 2 Feldenkrais exercises every morning on the sand that transform me from a stiff old man to fexible old man in 2 minutes. I know personally how these seemingly simple naive movements have profound impacts on the bodies' functioning. In today's world you must encounter lots of doubt and possibly ridicule. Keep it up. Your message is real and helpful :-)

@TaroIwamoto 2 года назад

Thank you! it's so awesome that you surf daily!

WOW! I have some work to do! I have been to so many different therapists throughout the years. Never have I felt like i was getting through to the actual issues. This was very difficult and awkward for me, yet I could feel exactly where my weaknesses are. This is going to be very hard but extremely rewarding for me.

@hope4u897 2 года назад

So impressed with the videos you have put on here absolutely love them and feel so much benefit. This one in particular makes so much sense in relation to the reasons for a winged scapular. I've had a problem with my right shoulder for a while and these exercises really showed up how weak my right shoulder is but the difference after a few repetitions was remarkable! I shall use these regularly to monitor the strength and stability. thank you so much brilliant!

I feel like my wings are glued shut from sleeping on my side. The pain is very much similar on both sides. My pain is sparatic all over my body. Im learning to be more mindfull of my movements. I recently fell directly on my tailbone. I expierced pain in middle of spine and rhomnoid area...but since I hurt my talibone i now experience even more intense muscle pain through my whole back, including my rib cage, twisting hurts. I am definitely hypermobile and i tend to over extend. Pain is all over from my neck, shoulders, rib cage, the whole spine and all the muscles surrounding my spine and rib cage. Im getting worse even tho i am trying to stretch, walk every day.My whole body is compensated. Nerve pain going down my arm from the neck. So much more.. i am overwhelmed with all your videos and need help...thank you💜🙏🏻

@mdognrdog 2 года назад

I was shocked to feel how quickly these two subtle exercises reduced the winging in my left shoulder, the front of which had been well stretched, but which had nothing that would properly activate the serratus. I really hope, though, that you will put together a more unified guide for people fighting the complex of kyphosis/head forward/winging/etc. that results from too much desk work. RU-vid is full of piecemeal exercises, and has far too few simple *programs* that people can follow in a session or two a day.

thats very true, and i can see how helpful it would be to have programs for people can follow

Thank you for a clear explanation. I survived a stroke last year and my shoulder stability suffered. My PT and OT has told me that my shoulder was “Winged”. They massaged and adjusted my scapula but no exercises. I will start the exercises and report back.

@jessicafayenightingale11 2 года назад

Thank you! Do you have an accommodation for someone who can’t be in that position because of a neck fusion? (I can’t be face down because it’s too much weight on my neck hardware). I Can just feel how helpful this exercise would be for my shoulder, but I’m wondering how I could do it while being safe with my neck. :-) Such a valuable exercise.

@chooihuangtan1230 2 года назад

My neck/shoulder was very tense this morning and after doing your exercises I had instant release. Thanks very much for video. However I have golfer's elbow and was wondering if these exercises would affect the elbows? If yes, could you please recommend other exercises ?

Can you do a video on left AIC pattern please ??

@TaroIwamoto 2 года назад

sounds like someone is doing PRI :) Sure I can do that. From my perspective I believe retraining movement patterns in all directions regardless of their own bias would be beneficial and important. Variability in movement can inform one's nervous system and can ultimately expand one's movement vocabulary and reduce their strong bias.

Hi Taro i have a rotator cuff problem.I tried your exercise feels good but my wrists feel quite sore from holding the arm and shoulder straight, am i doing it correctly? thanks jean

What if i have injury to my long thoracic nerve does the exercises still fix the problem or do i need surgery

@TaroIwamoto 2 года назад

It depends on the severity of nerve damage. Nerve tissues heal very slowly as you may know. As to whether you need a surgery or not, thats a question for medical doctors.

@TaroIwamoto Год назад

Hi! Are you asking me which videos you should start with?

@shamimakhtar2677 Год назад

Yes I am

@vokuvoku 2 года назад

The question really seems to be not so much serratus strength but range of motion. The second exercise here puts the serratus in a maximally stretched position while under load, if I understand the anatomy correctly.

@TaroIwamoto 2 года назад

serratus anterior keeps medial border scapula from moving away from the ribs during some arm movements weightbearing and non weightbearing. the second exercise works on shoulder girdle control both concentric and eccentric control. it would be much easier to simply focus on controlling movements slowly throughout the range to make sure you are improving shoulder girdle stability

@lw7654 2 года назад

Unfortunately, the weight bearing/pressure of my left shoulder it starts causing discomfort in my ac joint, my brachial plexus and my top and back of my shoulder where upper traps and levator scap insert. Any suggestions?

@TaroIwamoto 2 года назад

although you cannot do exactly same way, you can try this leaning against wall so not as much pressure

@jackiesvideoshare 2 года назад

I have poor r scapula stability from an accident. The first exercise is really working for me. The second I find it difficult not to let my shoulder rise and push forward when transitioning in and out of the sit which doesn’t feel right. Is it ok to move my arm further out to stop this? Is there a pattern to the transition I’m not getting right?

@TaroIwamoto 2 года назад

feel free to adjust your arm position. just for clarification it is shoulder blade that you want to keep stable

@Lauradicus 2 года назад

The problem I have with exercises on my hands and knees is holding that 8 lb head up. (Degenerative disc disease and scoliosis.) Is it okay to do these exercises with my head hanging rather than level?

@eggpod4567 2 года назад

After watching so many different videos from you and other channels. It's really disheartening as to how much misinformation goes around revolving caring for your body. I used to cycle when I was in school. I was also on the track and cross country teams. Literally, most of the stretches taught seem to do more harm then good and it's just accepted as supreme truth. Same with diet as well. You know how many different trainers and coaches condone the use of Gatorade for electrolytes while working out? Literally every single one I came across in person. When, in reality. Id say that crap is highly toxic for your body. Different teas and herds are a much better and a true source of electrolytes and nutrients. But, it seems most people won't even acknowledge the existence of them altogether. Just a little rant, but I know you out of all people understand.

@TaroIwamoto 2 года назад

I totally agree. yes it is frustrating. overwhelming amount of information is so easily accessible on the internet, so we consumers have to be able to interpret and judge information and use it wisely, which is not always easy.
