I can understand you easily. Don't worry about it. A lot of Americans can't understand accents because they never travel or watch anything except Aemrcan TV. This video is perfect! Thank you!

@jameswestmoreland9717 9 месяцев назад

Don't bother commenting about the sound. I commented and got a reply, Gina?, basically saying it's the listener's fauylt. One less viewer. Fine with me

@jameswestmoreland9717 9 месяцев назад

Thank you. Someone named Gina replied, but blamed the listener, not culturally aware, blah blah. Like a child really trying to be politically correct.

@jameswestmoreland9717 9 месяцев назад

@TheGinagriffin Not sure what your problem is? Complaints are about the sound quality. It's not a cultural issue. It's his video, if he can fix the issues it improves the audience experience. Trying to encourage a denial won't help. You sound like a child who thinks she is politically correct and wants to chastise others who don't play in her sandbox the way she plays. The comments are about sound. You may think you are ms socially aware goddess but really come across as ignorant of technical issues. Probably not limited to tech issues either. BCk off and let him improve the viewer experience. Then you grow up: a lot.

I have to say this was the most informative and well explained fixes for hip flex and lower back issues. I sit for over 10 hours a day which in turn caused me lower back issues but only when standing for more than 5 mins.. even causing aching testicles but as soon as I sit down all pain subsides in seconds. No one explained that my back issues were because of my tight tight hip flex.

How long do you think does it take to permanently loose it? And how long do we stay in each position? TIA

@YourWellnessNerd 9 месяцев назад

Generally there should be an immediate sense of more freedom. Each stretch can be done for 30-60 seconds. More if needed, less if needed too. How quickly it goes away can very closely relate to how well a person gets to the reason behind why those areas become tight in the first place

@asdf8asdf8asdf8asdf 8 месяцев назад

@ph00n0 8 месяцев назад

So I feel as if this would help me but I am also pretty fragile to the point where I can't wear underwear or jeans/restrictive waistbands without causing pain in my hip flexors / SI area. I went full force into a vehicle and smoked it with my chest and ever since I have sever rib flare on one side I'm thinking maybe rib 12-13 came disconnected but man it gets painful. Epidural multiple chiros but damn I can't shake it.

If someone presented to me with a tight psoas, tight hamstrings and an issue in the groin area, Id be very interested in assessing the overall function of their lower back.

Good question Cindy! Knowing the path and walking the path are two different things. In theory, stretching a tight spot is one thing, but getting to the reason why it's become tight is crucial to stop it from tightening in the future. I'm pretty mobile, but my work as a Physio does challenge certain areas of my body that require my attention every now and again of which this is one!
