You have a wonderful ability to communicate what you are trying to teach us. You are very sincere, and I certainly appreciate you taking the time to put out these quality videos. Thank you!!
I have SI joint dysfunction causing low back pain from years of yoga. I recently did a program with a PT focusing on strengthening and stabilizing my hips. I’m noticing significant improvement in my alignment in yoga and barre classes as well as reduction in pain. I’m looking forward to further strengthening in this area when you release your exercise program focusing on this area. It’s exactly what I need now. Thanks for the clear explanation.
This is very helpful in bringing the awareness. I’m really excited about the strengthening options. I’d be really interested in any videos on weight lifting strategies for those with chronic pain to gain muscle.
@@pabloelsur1624 they are coming in the future. You may not agree with me, but from everything I know and have seen and experienced from many movement disciplines particularly martial arts, everything leads to hips. Hips are the Engine of our body. Core is only as good as hips can get, as I demonstrated in the video. Strong core alone cannot generate power. This applies to all functions and performance. You can throw a fast ball, strong punch/kick without powerful hips. But without strong core, you'll lose the power and cannot transfer the force the hips generate, so you'll need very strong and efficient transmission, that is Core. Hips and Core have to be trained together in functions. They have to work with each other to reduce stress to back and improve efficiency of movement.
@@TaroIwamoto That's why I wrote "sensu largo". Hips, abdomen, back, spine and coordination within them all. Actually I treat hips as a core's base, simply part of the core. I was sloppy in my wording, my bad.
I will be doing a few videos on how to train core muscles functionally in the future, but in the meanwhile, you can watch my Improve Back Pain Playlist and you will find a few videos on proper lifting. That is literally a functional core and hip exercise. Thats one example.
@@TaroIwamoto thank you. I'll watch those. I'm 68 and trying to get fit enough to ride horses again after 50 years...so there is much to do! Your presentations are extremely helpful.
I'm doing a few videos on how to train core muscles functionally, but for now, you can use the short exercise demo used in this video (pushing your hand against the wall in sitting or standing). You can initiate the push by your foot first as you begin to push your hand into the wall, then keep your spine stable. Hold the tension for 5 - 10 seconds and pause for a few seconds, and repeat 10-15 reps. You can repeat 2-3 sets, on each side.
A better way to think about is what is a comfortable and efficient way to sit and move as ideal sitting posture and movement vary from one individual to another. That said, you can find several videos under Improve Posture Playlist. There you will find one video about improving sitting comfort, which is a bit longer video than most other ones.
Question: is there a problem if I do the pelvis exercise and then go to the chiropractor?. I just did the exercise and I have an appointment at 1pm. Thank you ✌️
Thank you for this video! I have troubles with my SI joint. Sometimes it feels like it's sort of blocked and I get pain wrapping around my hip. I seem to have a "lump" at the back of my hip bone. I've been told, it's an increase of ligament to stabilise the joint, however it's pressing down on nerves and causing me more pain. That's the theory my physiotherapist has. I was wondering if you have some insight on how the si joint works and how I can improve my movement of bending forward or rather straightening myself afterwards. I hope this makes sense.
How you initiate bending, turning, pushing, pulling, lifting all affect stability of SI joint and lumbar spine. It is very important to learn how to initiate movement from hips and stabilize the spine and SI joint during all functional movements.
One technical mark, could you not use black shirt / hoodie in a future? It can't be seen clearly what your arms, chest are doing and how, all is a black spot and needs additional (unnecessary) attention.
Thanks for the suggestion. Do you think a white/light grey shirt/hoodie would be easier to see? The ones I'm wearing are my work clothes with my website logo on them, and they are in black. I'll need to order them in another color if that'll make it easier for viewers. But, unfortunately, it'll take some time, and several videos have already been filmed in the same shirt, so you'll see me in the same black hoodie for a little while.
@@TaroIwamoto You have a lot of videos in a light color t-shirts I think, and there there are no issue, so just not black or very dark blue or so. ¿Maybe light blue carribean ocean or sunshine yellow? in order to be not so monochromatic.
@@pabloelsur1624 thanks again for the feedback. I get different feedback and suggestions. Some say simple color with no patterns like black is great for videos, some suggest avoid bright colors. I'll do more research.
@@TaroIwamoto IMO no super dark, nor super white, nor repetitive small patterns. There is an old rule in a digital photography that cameras automatically tends to achive always 18% of picture darkness, so in effect big black or white spots tends to be overexposed or underexposed etc. etc.
Yep, ande every video is like that. I subscribed and unsubscribed after watching few of his videos. Maybe it makes sense what he is talking, but listening his mini bio every time is too much for me.
I apologize for the same intro video in every video, but helpful for new viewere who dont know me already. I think most subscribers skip the intro and go right into the main content.
@@TaroIwamoto No need to apologize. You have fine content, I agree that new viewers need to see bio, just put timestamps. That way who wants to see bio will see it and for others it will be easier to navigate. I was binging your videos yesterday and really at one point I was so pissed that I unsubscribed. Now I am subscribed again, because as I said, you have good content, one of the rare channels where I actually learned something new. Also, ppl love videos with timestamps, so I believe you will benefit in terms of subscribers, likes and views if you start doing that. All the best.

Thank you. This is something I have noticed, I had considerably more back problems when I had great core strength . Now this makes sense.
Very clear explanation, I learned a lot from this video. Good job. Thanks.
Glad you got something out of this video!
Thank you, this is clarifying!
You're welcome!
great perspective with clear description and a helpful exercise.
Ahh!...now this makes very good sense! I understand much better now! Thank you, Taro!! 🙌
Thats great!!
Thank you!
This is an amazing game changer♡
Yes it really is. It was for me when I learned this skill for the first time several years ago.
This is very helpful in bringing the awareness. I’m really excited about the strengthening options. I’d be really interested in any videos on weight lifting strategies for those with chronic pain to gain muscle.
I have several videos on weight lifting strategies under improve back pain playlist.
That’s great! I will check it out as I want to resume strength training.
Brilliant!❤
Thanks, thats great
thank you so much
you're welcome!
Love knowing the theory behind the body's strength, but need some exercises to put it all into action. Thanks for the vid.
Yes I will be doing a few videos on functional core exercises in the future. super easy to train core and hips functionally.
@@TaroIwamoto Very good idea. And very needed videos. Everything starts from a core (sensu largo).

@@pabloelsur1624 Yes to me hips are a part of core too
I really like and appreciate your videos.
Glad to hear!
VERY INTERESTING. THANK YOU
You're welcome! What did you find interesting?
Amazing video. Thank you!
you are welcome!
The Hip Nip. Sorry, couldn't resist that old Pat Morita line
haha. nice
Fantastic explanation.
Thank you
Very interesting I can see the difference about putting your foot down and up. How often do I need to train that?
i would use that strategy for every pushing activities.
Wow that was insane, can touch my toes no bother after this exercise
So what things will strengthen hips and core together?

You sir, are a wizard
thats cool!
What is the proper way to have the pelvis when seating, forward or backwards?.
A better way to think about is what is a comfortable and efficient way to sit and move as ideal sitting posture and movement vary from one individual to another. That said, you can find several videos under Improve Posture Playlist. There you will find one video about improving sitting comfort, which is a bit longer video than most other ones.
@@TaroIwamoto Thanks ✌️
Question: is there a problem if I do the pelvis exercise and then go to the chiropractor?.
I just did the exercise and I have an appointment at 1pm.
Thank you ✌️
not sure what pelvic exercise you did and what your chiropractor will do, so it would be best to discuss that with your chiropractor.
@@TaroIwamoto Thanks ✌️
cool 👍🏻
cool!
So are squats a good exercise to strengthen simultaneously the core and hips?
sure! but need to be very intentional for how you move. Quality of movement makes a difference
@@TaroIwamoto Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! ❤️
Thank you for this video!

Didn’t have to watch to give a thumbs down. Anybody tell me why I should re-consider to watch it fully?
do you mind sharing what you didnt like? I appreciate all feedback.
