I’ve had pain in my SI joints for over 15 years and now suffering from pain in my sternum (costocondritis). Interesting all in the left side. I’ve felt out of balance for years. I will add these exercises in my routine. Any other suggestions please do let me know. Dee
Hi Dee. Sorry to hear that. Have you been tested for an autoimmune disorder? Work on those gently and then if you feel you are making headway try backwards walking and leaning to relax hips. Will do more on pelvic floor and pelvis/sacrum soon
Genius explanation! I knew the bits and pieces but you’ve put it all together so elegantly. My question is if for women this sacrum loosening and mobility would lead to lower bladder control at least in the beginning. This has happened to me on walks - my pelvic area relaxes suddenly and ahem, some leakage. I’m now also perimenopausal hence the concern about a relaxed pelvic floor causing some unwanted hopefully short term effects 😖
Generally or mostly incontinence is due to constant tension and the inability to have range in the pelvic floor. So you need to be able to fully contract and fully relax the pelvic floor muscles to have healthy string function. Constant tone or a held tension ends up being a weakened and dysfunctional pelvic floor. So learn to fully contract and relax is the best way.
Yes it’s the chronic tension that has led to incontinence, I’m sure of it. However, that’s what my bladder has been used to. It might take some adjustment, with both relaxation, tonality and control happening simultaneously if you know what I mean. But thanks so much for your response; and I’m going to be trying your full body breathing next.
Hi Lawrence. Thanks for this video, it has really helped me. I have a sticky left hip with less external rotation , if I practice tree pose it is very obvious. I usually have pain and tightness in my right glute and lower back, but more mobility in the right I have seen numerous physio's but this video has helped the most. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. I am a yoga teacher. Thanks from Gail in Ireland
The combination of backwards walking and then resisted forwards walking really helps with hip rehab and learning to use your hips in a relaxed and powerful way
Awesome advice, i come back to this video again and again. But how do i get "the movement up" , as you mentioned at 8:49. Thank you so much for sharing your work and wisdom.
How to Breathe Well and how to move with your breathing. th-cam.com/video/bECsEWMenPo/w-d-xo.html Is how to get breath mowbibgbuo your spine. Try some backward walking and flow rope too
Two days ago, in my long run, at one moment past 1 hour and a half, I did unlock my hips. It was going up a little hill, but at one second I even said out loud: "My hips are moving!" Then all tension in my scapula area disappeared. Then I said..."Now I know how to move my hips" funny moment because there were people around that hill. Jokes apart, I was smiling all the way back home feeling lighter and more connected. Now I have to play with my sacrum. Let's see what my wife has to say, I think we could exercise together.
Wow you just described my pain, after three years of doctors and physio no results. My tailbone is tucked inside, will it let go after a while with these excercizes or do I need correction of some sort?
These exercises and understanding should help a whole lot. You might need to find a good pelvic floor PT, Osteopath or maybe chiropractor to help with the tailbone. If they are good then this should be an easy, non invasive, non painful (a little momentary discomfort is ok, experience. There are many that will overtreat or can be a bit excessive so do your homework. You want someone with finesse and understanding.
I have chronic pain in the pelvis, found this very relaxing, would love another video! kind regards rob
That are on their way in a few days.
Thanks Lawrence, will be trying this, and your breath work sessions. 👏
Best wiahes
Horizontalising 😁
Amazing, I can feel the one wee muscle that's resisting/not relaxing yet.
Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks Lawrence for a better understanding of how this area works and how to relax and relieve tension in this area. 😊
You're very welcome
Awesome cheers Lawrence 👌🏼
Have coccyx injury since a teen, and feel that tight diaphragm, tight shoulders, also tight hip. Going to try this routine!
Have done more videos on yhis
