I email this video to my Marine DI!😊 Update: Now I get to march on the grounds for 30 minutes by myself as punishment for send this video to my sergeant major!😂
Lol! 😂
SO glad I found your channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
This really helped with transitioning from the floor exercises to the gate movements. Excellent! thank you!!
Exactly what I need! Will start these practices immediately
The arm swing and hip rotation doesn’t look weird or maniacal at all. It looks confident, healthy, and attractive.
Facts!
😂😂not so much when they make fun of it
@@b_tee1755 you must not be doing it right. I can tell it makes me sexier by the way the opposite sex looks at me
Conor you are the best !! Ty for all the incredibly insightful videos
My pleasure!
This is so good -I have Right side tight hip flexor-and you are right just stretching was not helping. I found your site and these video series - I tried the arm swing on my daily walk and already my pace improved, I am less winded up hills and felt like I was gliding - such a find! I am hoping to try more of your suggestions to continue to progress and work on my hips. Can't thank you enough.
Putting the hand up into the field of view is effective!
Te amo estoy ahorrando para tomar tu programa
Wow that marching type one is very difficult to get right! Amazing content.
It sure is! Appreciate it
Left peripheral field more limited.. YES!! I've even noticed this when I do imagery. I'm trying to expand it.
Great stuff Conor.
On the gait aspect when you swing the arm back you mention the whole arm internally rotates; does this mean the humerus internally rotates, the forearm pronates and the scapular externally rotates?
As someone who does fine-scale frame-by-frame gait analysis with every new client, one of the most missing elements of walking is the ability to get into the frontal plane in the body during heel strike phase. People get out of this phase way too quickly and never get that delay of getting into their pronation. They miss out on the crucial pronation phase of the gait cycle.
I also get people who tell me 'I've never swung my arm properly when I walk. People keep pointing it out and whenever I try to swing it more it just makes things worse'. They don't realize the arm swing is just an emergent property of missing movement elsewhere.
Man I’ve been following your left AIC pattern videos for awhile and they’ve been great, but I still had tons of left groin fascial nerve tension. And I just found the BEST way to mobilize it. I spread my legs open a bit and then I turn my left leg into internal rotation at the hip, then I turn my torso into left internal rotation and with a tall spine, kind of bounce deep into the direction of my left hip. It increasingly causes all these tingling sensations and feels like it’s stretching open a deep fascial(?) hold. I’ve just discovered this and it already has given me results!
(Doing this sitting on a slightly raised surface as opposed to the floor seems to give me more leverage in the area)
Hey, I have groin pain as well. Did you end up curing it?
@@DefeatLust hey!
I improved it but haven’t cured it yet, but plan on curing it in the next few months.
After tons of testing it seems I have pudendal neuralgia. What has improved it was acoustic shockwave therapy to my left pelvic area (around the sit bone) and a steroid injection to my left pudendal nerve. It doesn’t burn anymore but still feels kind of chronically contracted.
So I’m going to be getting surgery with Dr Andrew Elkwood in New Jersey as soon as I can afford it. He seems to be the best doctor to go to for it.
Almost definitely though your issue isn’t pudendal neuralgia. Had to rule out tons of stuff to land on this diagnosis. But it could possibly be.
I’d suggest getting an mri of your pelvis and lumbar spine and seeing a pain doctor who is able to give ultrasound guided injections. These help your symptoms and in diagnosis. He might also order an ultrasound test of your groin as well to see if you have adductor tendinosis.
@@hickorysocks2628 My guy 🙏🏾 I appreciate your swift reply and recommendation.
I'm going to keep on my stretch/strength routine for now, as i'm seeing slight improvement overtime. However, if it doesn't get fixed, then I will 100% get those tests done as you said (I would get them now, but in Canada, the doctors don't want to get them done unless you're literally dying....)
@@DefeatLust you’re very welcome!
I’m in Canada too actually - no one here does pudendal nerve decompression which is why I’m going to New Jersey for that.
If you are in Ontario I highly reccomend Dr Wansbrough at the Orthopaedic rehabilitation institute in Toronto if your issues don’t seem to get resolved.
If you don’t see improvement with the physio route, get on the wait list for an mri ASAP because it’s several months long. Unless you pay for private mri which is offered in some Canadian clinics. Ultrasound investigation of your groin though is covered by Canadian health insurance and is good for spotting any significant soft tissue abnormalities. Wait list for this is typically very brief.
Hopefully you get better with your exercises though and avoid all of this.
@@hickorysocks2628 i'm out in B.C. my friend. My family doctor keeps pushing me away, and the urologist told me I was perfectly fine and to just figure it out with physio or get a surgeon.
You know how it is.
Anyways though, solid information brother. I noted everything down. If my physio doesn't work, then i'll for sure convince my doctor one or another.
Ty again man. I wish you the best of luck
It is early to be sure but I have the feeling that changing my gait relaxed my scapular pain
Iam gratefull for uu.
Hi mate, thanks for everything you do, really appreciate your videos. I've just started following your left aic blog post exercises daily, and i understand there are many sensory factors to take into account, but assuming im not PEC and just have a left aic/right bc pattern, how long would something like this take to fix if working on it daily? im following your recommendation of 3 sets 5 breathes daily, and is it a slow progression of my ribs and hips opening up or is it a snap thing that just "happens"? Not in a rush just curious to get some more info as i do experience some pain in the right rib area, hence what led me to PRI. Any info is appreciated, thanks again and much love from Australia, appreciate your work
Hi, how are you feeling?
Omg I hope this makes me stop externally rotating my hip and abducting the foot causing pain.
Most people nowadays always carry shopping bags, brief cases, and pulling loaded suitcases/carry-on on rollers as they live their modern lives. There are rarely anyone ambling about swinging their arms anymore.😧
Interesting. Could these drills help with running gait? Thanks
great video, could you please make a video about PRI test that we can use to determine pelvis/rib cage orientation
I can think about it for sure
Hi is it arm swing or shoulder rotation which is important? I feel twisting torso more balancing
Wow GOAT
Thank you for this video. Would this exercise carry over to running?
Thanks for watching! I address this in the article a bit. Potentially, but running is a bit of a different beast
Nordic skiing classic ☝️
So when im swinging my right arm up, should my right hip tilt backwards?
So young healthy individuals should walk with wide ass steps relaxed and swinging?
My inner ankle feels extremely tense on the left foot doing this.
Can this help with bone spurs in the top of the foot
What about using Nordic walking poles?
Phoebe : well i told you so!
trevor and me have same tibia can we improve it in superficial standpiont
Will these techniques work for someone who has a rather serious Patho PEC pattern , as well as front slumped shoulders?
You would probably need to work on bringing your pelvis back to a bit of a more neutral state on both sides, and also getting some back ribcage expansion first for these to have maximal success
I'm working on these type of things past week already per my PRI therapist . Hard for me
They are certainly are the ultimate “harder than they look” exercises when executed properly
Yes walking is a series of losing and re-gaining your balance and I have seen severe arm swing with hyper extension of the elbow. In the winter with backpack I keep my hands in my pockets then realize I need to swing my arms. Almost no one walks “elegantly” if you observe them.
What can I study in college to know everything about biomechanics because I’m really passionate about this subject because I want to master the way I walk and run.
I see your back foot is the left one. Mine is the right.
Love to hear you’re into it. I can’t recommend the PRI courses enough If you’re just looking to feel better check out my Beginner’s course.
What am I doing wrong? When I walk(moderate 18 min mile), after 15 min's my hamstrings tighten up immensely. If I keep walking they just continue to tighten up.
In my NOT expert opinion, maybe quad avoidance gait or glute, squeeze your glutes while walking, it will make you walk differently. Tell me if it works :)
😍
This video can easily be 5 minutes long to get more views
Yes, I viewed it alternately at 1.25x + 1.5x Playback Speed. Kept my attention then.
Tiktok got u all messed up lol
Agreed.
Wait so this first exercise is for someone in a *right* aic pattern? I thought PRI was all about resolving the left aic pattern. O.o
No, it's for L AIC sufferers, representing the opposing leg stance to train, but most importantly the L eye field is triggered and trained in these positions. I couldn't even see my left periphery with this vile L AIC
@@uboobly 7:20 "From the right AIC pattern technique"
Ah okay thank you - that line threw me off

Is that jessie from athlean X?
Your gait cycle is killing your gains
He is Trevor from gta
Person with glasses should perform these exercises with 👓 glasses or without it.
His range of motion actually improves dramatically with the glasses on
👍❗
Situation Awareness...
The one on the step killed my TFL. Apparently my ass don’t work.
This is so complicated hard to do with two dogs 😂
Extremely valuable informational teachings but too much talking
I dont understand a thing.
heel striking isnt the natural gait
A specialist in making the simple, complex. Dynamic arm swing… WTF
SO BAD!
