What if my knees are already paining? Can I do these or should I wait my pain gone first? But it hasn't gone away totally since I got it few months ago, when I started roller skating (not from fall, it just got paining gradually until I lost my usual mobility, been to few physios but it won't go away totally). I can squat deep normally all my life but since I got the knee pains, I still can squat but have major pains getting down and getting up
If skating seems to be the cause, I'd suggest you could improve your technique. You also probably just need to rest - if you don't recover while doing things, it means the things you're doing are contributing to continued pain. So your activities are preventing you from healing.

If you have a lot of experience stretching and 150% confidence that the muscles you're stretching are strong enough to hold *and control* the load... AND if you're not making progress without additional load... well, if you meet all those conditions, you are pretty special, and loaded stretching is probably a great idea. Not to say it can't work otherwise - it certainly can - but not without risk and compromise.
@@robweinberg9396 If you get measurably better "movement activation," whatever that is, with either special footwear or no footwear or no underwear, then do it that way. I'll be 100% honest with you: I prefer training barefoot when I'm inside, but I've never seen any real evidence that it results in better movement for most people, so I don't really care enough to challenge anyone's opinions on the matter.
@@darianprotho6622 None taken. I'm trying to say that I genuinely couldn't care less what kind of shoes you wear or don't. If you're happy and making progress, whatever you're doing is the right choice. Why would I try to convince anyone otherwise?
I love these stretches. Just what I am looking for! Because of my arthritis in my knee.
Hope this is helpful - just be gradual and consistent.
Great info again Ryan..!!! Love how you guys break it down into simple steps..!! I do pigeon and lunge stretch pretty much daily..!! 🤙
I love these. I've do a couple of these with Frog Stretch routinely. Glad to see more, thanks!
Right on - glad you dig it :)
I was missing the Piriformis in my morning stretching. Thanks for posting the video
It doesn't get a lot of love unless you specifically stretch it out - hope this helps :)
I'd say one with knee arthritis should avoid deep squats at any cost
Are you a rheumatologist or an orthopedist?

thoughts on increasing the intensity with loaded stretches?

@@gmbfit agreed
Did I hear some Ichika Nito in that first bit?
You sure did :)
Really? Do it wearing sandals?😂😂😂😂 I dont think its comfortable at all.
All righty. Do what you like.
@@gmbfit why not barefoot for better movement activation?
@@robweinberg9396 thats what I mean indeed. No offense at all. 😅
