Hey Jeff, I've got arthritis in both feet so a lot of leg exercises are either painful on the day or days later I have trouble walking, can you show us some good exercises that won't blow me up, cheers

Thanks, Jeff. It's this kind of attention to detail and science that makes your stuff so great. My wife and I were at the gym today (76 and 70 yrs respectively), and while she has been doing great over the past couple of years with her strength and conditioning, she was explaining how her posture (shoulders slumped forward) has been bothering her. She knows it matters as much as the reps and sets for real health. I get home and voila. "How to Fix Slumped Posture." I've been a gym rat my whole life, but your approach to training feels so solid. Thrilled to have found you a couple of years ago. Best, J.
Learning to “build consistency with a task that is not daunting” I discovered by accident, and necessity 2 years ago when I shuffled into the gym at the age of 44, a construction worker my whole life, and previous not so good high school athlete, I had a history of going too hard too soon. To the point where I couldn’t keep up the consistency. This quote “build consistency with a task that is not daunting” perfectly verbalizes what I have been trying to tell people who I can see have the same misinformation I grew up with! Thank you for all your videos!
I used to weigh 300 pounds, I now weight 210 needless to say I had back pain and my posture was shit. Actively focusing on posture has eased my back pain upper and lower back pain. Good video Jeff, thanks for the important stuff as always
These are absolutely easy and doable exercises! My teenage son is battling scoliosis, along with extremely poor posture. As a fitpro myself, he is reluctant to assume any regime I give him, but am so thrilled to be able to have him watch (and hopefully implement) this video on his own! Thank you!!!
As someone with scoliosis and got surgery for my spine, pretty much restricting it´s movement, I went out of surgery thinking "this is it, this is how I will look" and ignored it. To maybe nobodys surprise, it got worse. Altough I have other issues like my first surgery pretty much having them shove the curvature up my neck, it wasnt until years of neglect it started to hit me. Thats when I couldn´t even work on targeting the neck at all but had to hope overall posture training would do it and it did. I´m still working towards my goal, and it will never be perfect but those first changes come quick if done right. The main takeaway is, despite having all movement in my spine restricted, a bad neck, extra bone mass in elbows and knee, i could improve my posture.
Bravo,, Jeff! This is excellent for all generations. My 92 year old father has created the spectrum of postural issues that you presented from bad postural habits and will benefit tremendously when we add in your recommendations to his weekly PT regimen. I don’t have postural issues and incorporating what you shared will keep it that way. Thank you for hitting the target once again.
In the recent months, I was diagnosed with rotator cuff syndrome first and then mild thoracic disc protrusion. Since your strectches etc. matches with my physical thrapy doctor's instructions, I also started using your videos when I returned to gym after a long time. Even though it is irritating going back to starters' exercises because everything around my shoulders really weakened obviously. Anyways, everything goes smoothly as of now, and as you have a part in this, thank you very much mate.
Feedback: I've been doing this better-posture routine (after your suggested morning stretches) every morning for the last four days and I've already noticed a difference. The surprising thing is that the biggest difference this has made is in the way I run (I do interval sprints in the morning). My gait is different now - better somehow - and the result is that my hamstrings no longer get tight when I sprint. For such little effort this is pretty big payoff for me, so thank you!!! Also, incidentally, years ago I had issues with fasciitis and your video on that topic (doing the calf stretch at an angle) was like a magical cure for me. I'm very grateful for the content you've posted. I've also signed up for your "Old School Iron" course and am currently at day 45 in that course and it has already made a noticeable difference in my appearance and especially in my overall strength. I'm really enjoying it!
ok i actually think most posture videos (almost all) are bs but you actually have good exercises and you dont have ridiculous traps that hide a forward head posture lol. i fixed my spinal alignment by cracking alone and i think you actually have a straight back/neck! i approve your video
Gotta say Jeff, I do quite a few of the "5 minutes a day" stuff for posture and overall balance, but they add up quite a bit, ever thought about making a complete routine for an overall balanced posture / balancing just for general pourposes ? I know thats a pain, and everybody is different, but a standard routing would be a start for a lot of people. Just an idea for possible future content ! Appreciate all your work, thank you sir !
I often spread many of these out during the day. I built a 4' vertical bar into the wall just off of the kitchen where with a slider and a carabiner. I can hook my resistance bands on that and then do a few different things while waiting for the water to boil. When I was working in an office, I got in the habit of taking a few mins every hour or so to do some of the movements in an empty conference room. Amazing how many 5 min. chunks of time one can find during the day depending on type of work and environment. The hardest part was getting the bahavior to become a habit.
My bad posture has always been a source of a lack of self confidence for me and I always thought I just had to live with it. I just found these videos!…I’m so excited to see what happens!
Hey Jeff! Just wanted to say thanks for all you do. Thank you so much for the helpful info. I’m 7 months in with your PPL split alongside the ab workout and the knowledge I was able to equip from you and I feel like a Roman soilder. Thanks man, keep it up!!!
I've been to 2 physical therapists for occipital neuralgia and forward head posture and both have given me exercises that squeeze between the shoulder blades. Makes a LOT of sense now
Hey Jeff, thanks for the great videos! Please do a video for us 60 year olds on sets, reps, days of rest. Exercises that will bulletproof us for our later years in life. This posture exercise video was terrific, what we need. Please focus on things like shoulder impingement, hip problems knee problems, what exercises can we do to prevent us from falling into these injuries later in life.
Simple, informing and concise. I'd like to see more videos like these please, as have hip and back trouble, and want to be doing what I love and strengthening as well, sometimes it's difficult to do what you want to do.
Jeff knows what he's talking about. I'd like to add that after 27 years of obesity, anxiety and postural issues, simply going to the gym to increase overall strength and trying to be mindful of what I eat has changed my life.
My pelvic floor ability has been ruined from my 5 brain surgeries. These were definitely challenging as it’s a big weakness of mine but I can definitely feel the benefit for sure. My posture now is a big insecurity of mine especially when comparing to what it was. Thanks to you Jeff, this video is so much appreciated from me! ❤
I try to do these before and after I go to bed I just started yesterday and I feel so much better already. I've tried upper-back exercises for my posture (because everyone says that's what you need to do), but it was never quiete enough. With this I have a feeling to get actual improvement on my postuer Thanks!
I was in PT for 2 months to fix chronic neck pain and rounded shoulders. I just started watching your videos and think these are a great addition/replacement to my PT workouts. I can really feel them working the trouble areas. One question, do you have a recommended sleep position for rounded shoulders? I typically sleep on my side (with support pillows) but I worry that will contribute to my shoulders turning forward. Thanks!
Thanks for this, I have this...really bad posture from being chained to the desk for years...today I make the vow to fix this and your videos are a great entry point for me to make meaningful changes that will improve my quality of life..I had enough of the pain from slouching.
Really inspirational bro. Working out with you for about a year and now decided to make this workout channel to help more people! Hope to be as great as u one day
The glass water stance is a game changer!’ My chest is flexing naturally. My upper back is on fire! Feels like a much needed stretch/exercise! Thank you!!
Thank you 'Guru' for suggesting a short and effective workout which is a need of many people around the world to handle poor posture. I almost always hit the like button every time for your videos and this time I could not stop commenting on this. On a side note, the line " When it comes to creating meaningful change, the only way we can get there is through consistency." is superb and fitting well like your fitness lessons. I wish you all the best in your life and in all your endeavors. once again zillion thanks to you from India.
This is by far the best video you’ve done on thoracic strength and mobility. And again it’s exactly what I need right now. Such a quick and easy routine to follow, if I can just start jumping outta bed and doing that every morning 😅
Thanks for this. Couple questions: 1: If I stand like you instruct at the beginning of the video, my posture looks good, but I'm not comfortable at all. My glutes are squeezing, I can't get a deep relaxed breath because my abs are flexed, I'm exerting energy to puff my chest out, etc... Will the exercises make it so that one can assume this posture without squeezing/flexing/contracting? Or will it always be somewhat of an effort to maintain good posture? 2: If one's routine already include exercises for glutes/back/etc... Are these exercises redundant and/or detrimental (ie: potential for overtraining certain muscles?) 3: What's the mechanism here? Is the hope that if we strengthen the right muscles, they will automatically hold our body in the right posture without having to consciously exert effort? Or will good posture still have to be a habitual thing? If the latter, what purpose are the exercises serving exactly? Are they necessary? 3.1: I see skinny/weak people with perfect posture all the time. Conversely, I see athletes, lifters, and strong/fit people with bad posture all the time (maybe even most of the time.) Is strength really the difference? Does the skinny woman with perfect posture that only really does yoga have "strong" glutes and upper back muscles?
Jeff, since I follow you, besides learning continuously about training techniques, helpful tips for nutrition, anatomy and much more, I have realized how important a balanced posture is for the daily activities and for sports performance in particular. After all this learning process, right now I believe that good posture is a prerequisite for a pain free life, and also a quality sports performance. Thank you.
I'm no expert, but I'd say to always try to keep your core tight and engaged! If you aren't focused on your core, it can put a lot of strain on the lower back.
For me it was all about activating my lower traps throughout the day. I tried all the exercises before from facepulls to wallangels. Only by strengthening and creating a beter mind connection with my lower traps did I stop feeling shoulder impingement and sternum pain like I used to.
You’ve made a great video on healing herniated disc a few years ago, which helped me alleviate the pain in my lower back, thank you! Could you please tell us more on the preferable exercises during recovery from herniated disc, what exercises to do and which ones to avoid. For example, are there any limitations on abs exercises, squats, deadlifts etc
Gonna get my 14 year old to start doing these cause he slouches big tie. I was ready to buy him a posture brace that the announce on tv but I just learned the problem is the exercise and strength ..!thank you sooo much . Plus he’s got slight scoliosis and he is thin as a toothpick lol
I have been having stomach and breathing problems because of my posture and anxiety together for 4 years. I am going to try this 5-min exercise for 90 days along with your Perfect Beginner Workout Program. I will update the results! 👍
My morning routine just got 5 minutes l longer. I've gradually added things to my routine to help my body, mind and spirit to grow and evolve. Afterwards I feel great and ready to take on the world.
I have this posture, and I think it's pretty common for people who spend a lot of time on their computers and phones. After injuring myself from sneezing back in January, I've been seeing chiropractors to fix it. They all have their own methodology, but despite feeling better, I'm not seeing the improvements I want in what I believe to be the root cause (the posture). Thanks for this video. I love the no-equipment-needed, diy approach. This should help me out a lot.
Oh my! Thank you Jeff! I just finished day two of this and I already feel better and know this will work for me. I’ve combined this with your face pulls, 3 sets of 12 with the raise with a band; that movement is actually feeling good; I like to focus on my mind-muscle connection with that one.
I just did this little circuit and my nagging back pain in the thoracic area has dissipated. I know it’s temporary but it’s something I’m going to consistently do for this pain I’ve had for so long.
The superman thing is actually hard but nevertheless, it feels really good! On a side note, I love stretching my lats by doing dead hangs on a bar (one arm at a time).
When you are so early and don't know what to say.. I'll say this for sure I love all of you and I am proud of all your progress Lift your head up and work hard You'll achieve your dream 💕
Great video! The only think I think you missed is for the forward head posture. What are your recommendations/exercises for bringing the head back over the shoulders? Great stuff keep up the hard work!
Hi Jeff! Thanks for all your great content. I was wondering if you have any tips for breathing and bracing your core while performing lifts or doing any of your workouts? Whenever I try to do it, I never feel like I’m doing it right, and end up with low back pain during a lot of my workouts. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! My Kempo Master identified that I need to improve my posture when executing my forms and this video will significantly help me reach that objective!
What is Peripheral Heart Action Training? Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) training was developed by Dr. Arthur Steinhaus in the 1940s.[1] The concept of PHA training is to keep blood consistently circulating during a resistance training workout. (truth be told, blood is constantly circulating throughout your body regardless if you are exercising or not, it’s just that exercisesincreases the amount of blood flow). The primary difference between other circuit training protocols and PHA training is that Dr. Steinhaus composed his circuits such that subjects rotated back and forth between upper and lower body exercises.
this is gold. I've come up with that posture in the beginning of the video lately and now I walk around in my flat like that like a goofie. now I know some more cool exercises. damn, this info is so hard to get due to tons of misleading info. Actually, apart from the pelvic tilt problem, I think a hunch is fixed in the same way as it is obtained - through stretching one group of muscles and shortening of the other back muscles that pull shoulders back. so in my view, there should be years of training just to let your "long" back muscles shrink, so they physically will not be able to let your back stoop. this is really hard
Look up Connor Harris,is on you tube also. He has a really good clear view on the human skeleton and has a lot of excersizes for every bad posture you can imagine. A lot is linked all together and he can also explain and show it to you so you understand whats happening in your body. For me he is the only one in deccenia who came with good stuff what helped me after years of fysio etc. I had a pelvis tilt also and first you need to check if you can put your pelvis in the ' right position' before you start excersizes. My pelvis was stuck for atleast 25 years 😅 you can train what you want but everything only will worsen.. Good luck!
Thankyou Jeff, I'm 66 and getting concerned this is happening. My shoulders ache a bit as well. I do train most days, but this looks like something I need to incorporate. Great timing 👏
Thanks man. Can usually tell if the exercises a video gives is bs and the person doesn’t really understand the core issue. But I see you understand and these exercises are exactly what I envisioned. Thank you for quality work!
This may save me. I had good posture from martial arts and horseback riding… but I felt it slowly leaving when I had to dedicate more time to training… prepping food in the kitchen. Thank you.
Being over 6 ft n doing a bunch of push ups, bench pressing then pulling my shoulders forward as a kid to make my chest look bigger ie though it made me look better my posture is so god awful. Thanks for the content!
Jeff you should make a video about proper form on these exercises, my posture is all out of whack so sometimes they feel strange and i don't know if I'm doing them right
Jeff, I'm a slumper and this video and your excellent instructional style is just what I need. Short, easily replicable and very helpful. I've subscribed and will be a frequent visitor. Thank you!
Barefoot shoes were very helpful for me to fix my posture. I know it sounds weird but it worked for me. The first 2-3 weeks my hips, glutes and lower back were sore just from walking. After that my posture was much better. My mom even thought I grew taller which is impossible since I'm 25.
Thanks for your channel. Wish I found it long ago. I was a wrestler for several years and military but now 63 years old and type 2 DM. Trying hard to get that intense discipline and focus I once had. You’re helping me. I do anesthesia now so sedentary job. I must overcome inertia. HAHA
Love this type of video; the physical therapy stuff that tackles issues many have. And not just fix but get stronger and more flexible. So much better that a superficial bicep routine when there's already far too much on TH-cam.

Really inspirational bro. Working out with you for about a year and now decided to make this workout channel to help more people! Hope to be as great as u one day
The glass water stance is a game changer!’ My chest is flexing naturally. My upper back is on fire! Feels like a much needed stretch/exercise! Thank you!!
Thank you 'Guru' for suggesting a short and effective workout which is a need of many people around the world to handle poor posture. I almost always hit the like button every time for your videos and this time I could not stop commenting on this. On a side note, the line " When it comes to creating meaningful change, the only way we can get there is through consistency." is superb and fitting well like your fitness lessons. I wish you all the best in your life and in all your endeavors. once again zillion thanks to you from India.
Jeff you're a godsend man. The only guy on here that I trust is actually naturally built and isn't bullshitting me. Thanks for being a badass.
I always find myself saying "thanks Jeff" at the end of these videos. Easy to do and nicely explained 👍
This is gold. Most of these exercises I've never seen before. Gonna take them and get that posture fixed once and for all. Thanks a lot !!
This is by far the best video you’ve done on thoracic strength and mobility. And again it’s exactly what I need right now. Such a quick and easy routine to follow, if I can just start jumping outta bed and doing that every morning 😅
Hello mate, did u ever done this routine? How did it result in? I also have huge problem with my posture, so ur answer make me happy, thx.
Thanks for this. Couple questions:
1: If I stand like you instruct at the beginning of the video, my posture looks good, but I'm not comfortable at all. My glutes are squeezing, I can't get a deep relaxed breath because my abs are flexed, I'm exerting energy to puff my chest out, etc... Will the exercises make it so that one can assume this posture without squeezing/flexing/contracting? Or will it always be somewhat of an effort to maintain good posture?
2: If one's routine already include exercises for glutes/back/etc... Are these exercises redundant and/or detrimental (ie: potential for overtraining certain muscles?)
3: What's the mechanism here? Is the hope that if we strengthen the right muscles, they will automatically hold our body in the right posture without having to consciously exert effort? Or will good posture still have to be a habitual thing? If the latter, what purpose are the exercises serving exactly? Are they necessary?
3.1: I see skinny/weak people with perfect posture all the time. Conversely, I see athletes, lifters, and strong/fit people with bad posture all the time (maybe even most of the time.) Is strength really the difference? Does the skinny woman with perfect posture that only really does yoga have "strong" glutes and upper back muscles?
Jeff, since I follow you, besides learning continuously about training techniques, helpful tips for nutrition, anatomy and much more, I have realized how important a balanced posture is for the daily activities and for sports performance in particular. After all this learning process, right now I believe that good posture is a prerequisite for a pain free life, and also a quality sports performance. Thank you.
I'm no expert, but I'd say to always try to keep your core tight and engaged! If you aren't focused on your core, it can put a lot of strain on the lower back.
For me it was all about activating my lower traps throughout the day. I tried all the exercises before from facepulls to wallangels. Only by strengthening and creating a beter mind connection with my lower traps did I stop feeling shoulder impingement and sternum pain like I used to.
These are the best videos! Posture, flexibility and movility are the most important.
Could you do the perfect glute workout please?
Wow man, one minute I'm thinking of a problem and the next Jeff uploads a video to solve it. Is he a god or what. His tips always always help me
You’ve made a great video on healing herniated disc a few years ago, which helped me alleviate the pain in my lower back, thank you! Could you please tell us more on the preferable exercises during recovery from herniated disc, what exercises to do and which ones to avoid. For example, are there any limitations on abs exercises, squats, deadlifts etc

Bump
Leaving comment for future notification
let us know
I have similar problems and i'll try that as well. Let´s go!!
How’s this training going?
My morning routine just got 5 minutes l longer. I've gradually added things to my routine to help my body, mind and spirit to grow and evolve. Afterwards I feel great and ready to take on the world.
Thank you so much Jeff...we all really needed this video 🙌🏻👍🏼
I have this posture, and I think it's pretty common for people who spend a lot of time on their computers and phones. After injuring myself from sneezing back in January, I've been seeing chiropractors to fix it. They all have their own methodology, but despite feeling better, I'm not seeing the improvements I want in what I believe to be the root cause (the posture). Thanks for this video. I love the no-equipment-needed, diy approach. This should help me out a lot.
Oh my! Thank you Jeff! I just finished day two of this and I already feel better and know this will work for me. I’ve combined this with your face pulls, 3 sets of 12 with the raise with a band; that movement is actually feeling good; I like to focus on my mind-muscle connection with that one.
update?
I just did this little circuit and my nagging back pain in the thoracic area has dissipated. I know it’s temporary but it’s something I’m going to consistently do for this pain I’ve had for so long.
Great. Can you make a video on what can be done if one shoulder is higher that the other?
Please do a video on Separated AC Joint in the shoulder!!! Would be clutch for all of us with this common injury.
The superman thing is actually hard but nevertheless, it feels really good!
On a side note, I love stretching my lats by doing dead hangs on a bar (one arm at a time).
Jeff, you are one of my inspirations to study fisiotherapy, i have learned a lot from you, once you saved me from a discal hernia, i really thank you
I like seeing mobility workouts that stretches and strengthen the body. Can you do one for the hip?

Brutal Jeff, great rutine for that🔥
Awesome video Jeff, putting this info out for free for anyone to see makes it even better.
This video really caters to me because I have a posture like a question mark
Haha, not good but this was tailor made for that problem.
?
Dude is the truth. Things we all need.
Hi Jeff! Thanks for all your great content. I was wondering if you have any tips for breathing and bracing your core while performing lifts or doing any of your workouts? Whenever I try to do it, I never feel like I’m doing it right, and end up with low back pain during a lot of my workouts. Thanks so much!
This is great, thanks. I've had hyperlordosis for years and have never spent the time to learn how to address it.
I thought it was going to be face pulls...
Less commenting, more face pulling - Jeff probably
Thank you so much! My Kempo Master identified that I need to improve my posture when executing my forms and this video will significantly help me reach that objective!
I did the posture tester and my wife said, "You know that part of Pocahontas where the raccoon makes fun of Kokoum? You look like that"
We love you Jeff. You are a national treasure for real.
Real gamers don't have nerd backs. Work your thoracic muscles and glutes gamers 😎
A. Real gamers don’t work out at all
B. Stop commenting on Athlean-X videos and upload already
Bro your followers miss you, Upload a new vid if you can
That chair workout lat stretch really changing the game
I heard Jeff never sits down to ensure perfect posture at all times.
So simple, quick and practical. Something I'll actually do!
Wow, so standing wrong is killing my gains wrong. Can't wait for the day where breathing wrong is killing my gains. Oh wait, it's already here
Thank you for your dedication and sacrifice all these year making this a great and informative channel
*Good Posture is killing your gains*
What is Peripheral Heart Action Training?
Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) training was developed by Dr. Arthur Steinhaus in the 1940s.[1]
The concept of PHA training is to keep blood consistently circulating during a resistance training workout. (truth be told, blood is constantly circulating throughout your body regardless if you are exercising or not, it’s just that exercisesincreases the amount of blood flow).
The primary difference between other circuit training protocols and PHA training is that Dr. Steinhaus composed his circuits such that subjects rotated back and forth between upper and lower body exercises.
this is gold. I've come up with that posture in the beginning of the video lately and now I walk around in my flat like that like a goofie. now I know some more cool exercises. damn, this info is so hard to get due to tons of misleading info. Actually, apart from the pelvic tilt problem, I think a hunch is fixed in the same way as it is obtained - through stretching one group of muscles and shortening of the other back muscles that pull shoulders back. so in my view, there should be years of training just to let your "long" back muscles shrink, so they physically will not be able to let your back stoop. this is really hard
Look up Connor Harris,is on you tube also.
He has a really good clear view on the human skeleton and has a lot of excersizes for every bad posture you can imagine.
A lot is linked all together and he can also explain and show it to you so you understand whats happening in your body.
For me he is the only one in deccenia who came with good stuff what helped me after years of fysio etc.
I had a pelvis tilt also and first you need to check if you can put your pelvis in the ' right position' before you start excersizes.
My pelvis was stuck for atleast 25 years 😅 you can train what you want but everything only will worsen..
Good luck!
Thankyou Jeff, I'm 66 and getting concerned this is happening. My shoulders ache a bit as well. I do train most days, but this looks like something I need to incorporate. Great timing 👏
Thanks man. Can usually tell if the exercises a video gives is bs and the person doesn’t really understand the core issue. But I see you understand and these exercises are exactly what I envisioned. Thank you for quality work!
This may save me. I had good posture from martial arts and horseback riding… but I felt it slowly leaving when I had to dedicate more time to training… prepping food in the kitchen. Thank you.
Please make a follow-along video with all the exercises put together!! 🙏🏼
Love that Jeff is doing more physio/ injury type videos.
Was really happy to hear you talk about the shoulder blade, having trouble getting mine back to where it needs to go
Being over 6 ft n doing a bunch of push ups, bench pressing then pulling my shoulders forward as a kid to make my chest look bigger ie though it made me look better my posture is so god awful. Thanks for the content!
Awesome! It has bern my problem during my entire Life. I Made the routine today and felt excellent
It doesn’t matter how you stay!! You just look amazing!!!😊
Adding in the little walls to the glute bridges really adds so much
Add deadhaning to this routine. 5 or so minutes a day. Fixed my upper-back posture in only a few days.
Jeff you should make a video about proper form on these exercises, my posture is all out of whack so sometimes they feel strange and i don't know if I'm doing them right
Jeff, I'm a slumper and this video and your excellent instructional style is just what I need. Short, easily replicable and very helpful. I've subscribed and will be a frequent visitor. Thank you!
Barefoot shoes were very helpful for me to fix my posture. I know it sounds weird but it worked for me.
The first 2-3 weeks my hips, glutes and lower back were sore just from walking.
After that my posture was much better. My mom even thought I grew taller which is impossible since I'm 25.
Thanks for your channel. Wish I found it long ago. I was a wrestler for several years and military but now 63 years old and type 2 DM. Trying hard to get that intense discipline and focus I once had. You’re helping me. I do anesthesia now so sedentary job. I must overcome inertia. HAHA
Yet another amazing video. Jeff is seriously the best in the business. 🙌
Hands down the best fitness creator on the internet, solid information as always!
Love this type of video; the physical therapy stuff that tackles issues many have. And not just fix but get stronger and more flexible. So much better that a superficial bicep routine when there's already far too much on TH-cam.
This really helps areas of chronic muscle weakness and tightness. Very helpful.
