Talk about Schlatter’s disease. I always get the bump on my lower left patella when I deadlift with high intensity and frequency. Not bad when I squat. I’ve wrapped it on occasion.
Knee issues after squat intensive workout. I get pain under kneecap AND at back of knee almost 100% of the time after doing a squat type exercise such as wall balls or back squats.
Would you advise adding hip abduction work if weakness is evident? I think tightness in my adductors left side is associated with weaker hip abductors on that side.
Your videos are so concise and well explained, and just short enough to be very convenient in getting a lot of good info our way without being boring or giving information that's not immediately necessary. Superb videos, sir!
you are doing gods work 🙏🏼 out of all the different videos i’ve seen this one has been the only one that describes my back pain perfectly. Thank you sm
Do you have a video that is just dedicated to diagnosing all of the possible causes of back pain? I have lower back pain that I’m having a hard time diagnosing which obviously leads to not being able to appropriately treat it. Thanks, Love the videos. Your videos helped me repair a dislocated shoulder.
When I’m performing bird dogs, it feels like the ligaments in the back of my knee are popping or snapping in full leg extension. It’s not painful just annoying. Do you know what this is? Have you had clients that experience this? Is there anything I can do to stop it from happening? Thanks! You’re channel is incredibly helpful!!
Popping sound is your tendon moving noise which is absolutely normal. To stop it you can do a good warm up. Or try do little hot pack (if you have injurie and can’t jog)
@@sanjutokasI get this popping sound every time I take a step. I feel the sound comes from somewhere on the back at the level of the belly button.It's not painful though. Can you please tell me why that happens?
@@venuthati6584 A popping sound in the lumbar (lower back) region can have several causes, ranging from benign to more concerning. Here are some potential reasons: 1. **Gas Release**: Similar to cracking knuckles, the popping sound could be due to the release of gas bubbles in the synovial fluid of the spinal joints. 2. **Ligament or Tendon Movement**: Sometimes, ligaments or tendons can snap over bony structures, creating a popping sound. 3. **Joint Issues**: Facet joint dysfunction or degeneration can cause popping sounds during movement. 4. **Muscle Strain**: Strained or tight muscles might produce popping sounds when stretched or moved. 5. **Spinal Conditions**: Conditions like degenerative disc disease, arthritis, or spinal stenosis could contribute to sounds in the lumbar region. If the popping sound is accompanied by pain, limited mobility, or other symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Could please, make a full body mobility treatment, a full body stability as well as a full body strengthening. To help my full contact fighters. If that's even possible.
Wondering about the hip mobility, is there a reason why you focused only on hip external rotation? wouldn't internal rotation, flexion, and extension also play a role? Thanks for the good content like always.
Hi Aaron I am going through tight low back the main issue is stiff back in the morning and I can’t rotate my body I.e spine clockwise and anti clockwise 🔄 It’s too painful and stiff. I will surly add this exercises in my daily routine but what you add on that rotational pain. Thanks
Hi. I have a question about the kettlebell exercise. If I were to continually perform this exercise, say everyday would that in theory bring equilibrium to the tighter hip or would other exercises have to be implemented along with stretching and also on both sides?
It depends on your kb routine. If the program is all glutes and hams, not much quads, then u need to add it in. Swings alone are a hinge movement, like a Deadlift. You can't just do deads without squats basically.
Could you talk about the treatment of low back spasms? also when doing the McGill big 3 should I take a breath in, hold it, and exhale for reach repetition?
If you sit all day, I would stretch the piriformis and QL muscles daily. I like to do the lying figure 4 type stretch and child's pose with side reaches.
Hi Dr Aaron, I have been experiencing tightness (with knots) at my left QL and left glute medius. And along with it, a L5 sciatica like symptom for many years... Tried multiple approach and physio but didn't help. What do you think most likely could be the cause?
Im a yoga practitioner and a teacher the kettle bell stretch is not felt for alot of people including me or relatively flexible people. Either that or im not doing it correct, is there any alternative to that?
Question about elbow pain. So when I do chin-ups or supinated curls I get pain in the tendon right in the crook of my arm it almost feels like it’s going to to pop under load. I’ve noticed it gets a little better when I massage my forearm prior to lifts. Not sure what it would be called since it’s not tennis elbow
@@rayyiu4043 i don’t think it’s golfers elbow since it’s much closer to the middle of the elbow and I don’t have any pain in any of the normal positions that you normally would with golfers elbow
@@grantlee4083 Ahh i thought it would be, I got a bunch of pain from chin-ups and curls too. If it's in the middle i got no idea. Hope you heal up soon!
This sounds like dehydration. Preworkouts tend to have a lot of caffeine in them. So, if you're already poorly hydrated, you'll be even more dehydrated by the caffeine, resulting in tight muscles.
@@alarson1799 it feels like the muscle is jsut working way too hard. Would dehydration cause a tight low back like this? It gets tight just walking sometimes.
@@JDXOGG Dehydration causes muscle tightness/cramping. That doesn't necessarily mean it's your issue, but if you specifically get tight when you drink pre-workout, it's likely that you're not hydrated enough. The root issue, especially if it's specifically your low back and not other places, is muscle weakness/imbalance.
Hey! Your channel already helped me a lot! But I really appreciate something for my neck. 2 years dealing with a cervical herniated disk. I would love to see your tips about this. Thanks!

Neck pain! Cervical Herniated Disk.
I have learned so much from Squat University. I can't believe this content is free on TH-cam. Goldmine of information.
Your videos are so concise and well explained, and just short enough to be very convenient in getting a lot of good info our way without being boring or giving information that's not immediately necessary. Superb videos, sir!
Second stretch worked wonders on my tight left hip! Thanks SquatU!
You're welcome! Glad to help!
you are doing gods work 🙏🏼 out of all the different videos i’ve seen this one has been the only one that describes my back pain perfectly. Thank you sm
I needed this video. I pray doing these exercises loosens my lower back which feels like a constricted band across that area. Here goes+
Very much appreciate the science of these exercises and full info. It really makes these stick better in your mind and helps to do them as intended.
Would like to see a video on back pain with stiff hamstrings. Also a video on correcting loss of Lumbar Lordosis (based on MRI results)
World class content. I trust SU as a resource.

Thing here and Idk if it’s a stability issue or just gas leaving the knee

Thanks Doc!
You're welcome!
Hello sir ur videos are extremely helpful, Thank u so much.. would like to have a video about stretching and mobility exercises for runners
Please make a video on how to improve mobility to touch toes without bending knees. I can only reach till just above my knees. Thank you.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Psoas syndrome. I’ve been trying to fix mine for years. I feel like there isn’t a comprehensive video anywhere on it.
Why do you mention the external hip rotation but not internal exactly? Thanks!
Could please, make a full body mobility treatment, a full body stability as well as a full body strengthening. To help my full contact fighters. If that's even possible.
Thank you.
regarding cat pose, should you engage your core muscles when you are going into flexion
missing natural squat position, rest super nice, thank you
Thank you soo much. My lower back had been tight for two days, my mobility was limited. 🥲 I feeel much of the tightness gone.
Thanks again.
I must say thats criminal from not moving the hip to moving the hip thanks 🙏🏼 🍀🍀

Love you aaron
How heavy of a kettlebell do you use?
Thanks
how heavy of a kettle bell should we use approx?
Could anyone please help. How much weight for the kettlebell? (average
build)
Hi Dr Aaron,
I have been experiencing tightness (with knots) at my left QL and left glute medius. And along with it, a L5 sciatica like symptom for many years... Tried multiple approach and physio but didn't help. What do you think most likely could be the cause?
What does it mean when your back hurts when bracing?
Thx good as allweys
Is It really possible to inhibit our hamstrings ? I mean, with the Lombard paradox. Maybe it doesn't apply in this position ?
How often should these exercises be done ?
Im a yoga practitioner and a teacher the kettle bell stretch is not felt for alot of people including me or relatively flexible people. Either that or im not doing it correct, is there any alternative to that?
If you’re already flexible, why would you need the kettle bell stretch?
Can you plz do tricep tendinopathy fix🙏
Thanks for the suggestion!

@@rayyiu4043 it could be but I’m thinking it might be more of a bicep tendinitis. I appreciate the thought though!
Mine only gets tight when I take pre workout. Any clue why

nice video but are these exercises good for lumbar spinal stenosis?
When I do the Fabre test on my left hip it hurts and cracks to bring it back up. Anyone else?
You may have sacroiliac joint dysfunction
BROOOOO I FUCKING LOVE YOU i had a tight lower back from months from lifting but literally right after i got off the floor my back felt light asf
When i do cat pose i feel pain im my low back pls why ?
