Fantastic workout Blake. The presentation is focussed and clear and the graphics and tips reinforce the key points. Best part is the results are immediate and awesome. Thanks!
24 year old 6' 2" male. Been dealing with hip issues on and off for years now. This is such a succinct, effective mobility routine. I will be doing this every morning from here on out. Felt AWESOME just now.
Is this a hip issue or back? While sitting I can cross my left leg and put my ankle on my right knee. It's stiff but I can do it. However if I try with the right leg, it's like trying to bend stone. And I feel it pulling from my right shoulder down to my right glutes. I don't know why there's such an extreme difference on each side.
I have been having a problem for a while now where I get these sharp pains that shoot through my lateral (outside) and the knee cap. For example on my left leg the pain would be in the little groove to the left of the knee cap when the leg is bent and shoots a couple centre metres down to the top of my shin on the outside. This pain only seems to occur if i try to spread my knees away from one another like if i sit down and bring my knees up with my feet flat on the ground and try to move both legs away from each other, when I get to about outside my frame I get this shooting knee pain and I seem to compensate by rounding my low back alot, which lessens the pain. I sprint and play football and this problem hinders my ability to get wide and get a low wide base essential for cutting. I have tried many physios but they cant seem to help me, and if seen a trigger point therapist who has released either my it band or the outside quad and it seemed to help alot but only for about 20 mins before it got tight again from sitting. It defintly has something to do with the IT band and I have been stretching the outside quad which has helped but I cant stretch it everytime before football and sprinting as it makes me slower. Any help would be great. I am 18 years old and have made great improvements in my once non existent interal rotation and have created my arch back in my feet (which many people told me was not possible), but this is one problem I cant seem to figure out. P.S.- I used to sit alot as a child so I have been working to fix my body as the sitting has caused me to be less athletic then I should be.
Thanks Blake. Repetition rather than single stretch seems helpful. Also, the Hip-Chair provided some instant mobility and posture help; but I did have to balance using wall. Kudos to you for doing it free-standing!
