Great video! So important to know the difference between flexion and extension and how it relates to each disc. Hip hinges when done properly will improve your quality of life. They are a progression so it will take time to get there if you’re not used to doing a proper hip hinge. Same for supine bridges. Thank you so much for this video and the excellent 3-D animations. They are so helpful to understanding the spinal column.
Dr. Peebles, I’m on week 5 of your program (and enjoying it a lot), I’m hopeful!! :) Thanks to you I’m bending forward the way you show here and it helps since my pain is always brought up by bending forward, sitting and cycling. One thing I’m intrigued about is how to do gardening not bending through your spine? Maybe on fours? But that leaves you with only one hand free. Maybe we’ll see this in upcoming weeks in the program when we reintegrate everyday movements? Or any tips? :) I’m in Europe so it’s difficult for me to come to the lives to ask 😅 although Cara has been very kind. THANK YOU!!
Dr. Peeeples. In the video where the woman is shown doing the bridge - there is a cuve in her lumbar spine. I thought it was supposed to be flattened as we breathe down and lengthen our spine and allow the pelvic tilt. Thanks.
Hello Dr. Ryan, I am experiencing that bending forward is causing me SI joint pain. So butt back is the solution so the body weight stays in the center? Great video and explanation thank you!
Hinging at the hips and activating my core while doing so currently aggravates my healing si joint. I find that if I just bend with flexion and no core activation to bend over at this point, that it doesn’t hurt.
This might sound strange but I have a difficult time keeping the core connection when unloading the dishwasher. If I'm bending to pick up something I can keep that connection, but it is difficult to unload the dishwasher without rounding the back. I think because of the way you have to reach when unloading. Is there a better way?
I had the same issue in the beginning; however, it becomes easier once you learn to keep your core fully engaged and in the neutral position. This takes daily commitment and repetition before it becomes more automatic. It took me several months of daily engagement before I could learn to hold my core while performing a hip hinge. With repetition, you’ll get stronger and be more consistent at holding the hip hinge. Hope you get better soon.
I did this when I was young. Then I got self-conscious sticking my big butt out. Sexism hurts in all kinds of ways! (I do you think it is considered culturally inappropriate for women to bend like this, there’s more to this issue than just building the muscles)

He has a gardening specific video somewhere if you search for it.
Some great questions people have asked here 👍🏻

I noticed too
This biomechanical exercise is really healthy and it takes time to study how to bend using hips rather than lower back. Thank you 😊

Thank you so much for the tip, Ronald! Your kindness and support truly mean a lot. 🙏

Sitting on a low bench was mine solution for washing machine and gardening.

What Kind of sports or exercices can i do whith spondilolisis level 2 ? Thank you
Right Quad gets always tight with no Reason
Mine too. Always. I stretch it everyday to loosen it up, but it never is like the left. I've had to accept it as is
