12 years of soccer, 5 years of bmx bikes, and 4 years of body building / powerlifting seriously jacked up my lower and upper body. These videos you made completely reinforce that fact. It also didn't help that I never took stretching seriously or even knew what mobility work was. I have so much work to do to get my body mobile and pain free again. Feeling like I'm 75 when I'm only 22 really sucks. This process of attaining mobility and having better, more free movement is sure going to be a great adventure and wonderful learning experience. This video was very helpful as my ankles are super stiff and I have zero dorsiflexion and I think this is a precursor to the pain in both of my groin/hip areas. Thanks for the videos!
Going to give this a shot. Been having foot pain for a few months. Ran the Boston Marathon with the pain and it slowed me considerably. Hopefully this helps. Thanks for the video.
This was great. It's nice to hear someone passionate about his profession. I just started running at 46 and now my ankle cracks less. My plantar muscles are sore but I will implement these new exercises I'm only running for 30 min that's enough for now. I would like to go for longer but I don't want to injure myself. I know I can do longer so that's my goal .Thanks for the great video.
rarerepair Frits You're welcome Frits...yes, movement is my passion. I hope this helps you (it should) but be careful with over training. Also...don't JUST RUN...there are other great ways to improve your fitness. I'm a little biased towards kettle bells but I believe everyone can benefit from them. Enjoy the journey :) Chad
I have Plantar Fasciitis and now it all makes sense!! I will be incorporating all of these stretches and exercises into my routine! Thank you for the info! Wow!
Excellent video. Really good to have so much info in one lesson. Is it possible to get the benefits of the womb squat in a variation that puts less pressure on the knees? I have one arthritic knee and can no longer stay in that position.
Hey Frances...thanks for the kind words! Yes...there are 2 other options that you can use with the wall. 1) Position your back against the wall with your feet about 1-2 feet infant of you. Then slide down to the bottom. You want get quite as much pressure on the knees but you will get the benefits of hip mobility and an opening of the pelvic floor. Move your feet closer to the wall in order to increase mobility in the ankles. 2) You can lay you your back and place your feet on the wall in the same position as the womb squat. What you'll do is get as close as possible to the wall. This will be a much more unloaded position for your knees and ankles. Still focus on breathing and try to get those muscles that are resisting the position to relax. Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any questions:) Chad
SittingSolution TV Thanks for this video. I will try the alternatives you gave Frances H for the Womb Squat, as well as the other moves. I try to do one or more of your facebook videos daily - love them.
I have extremely flat feet and have had planter fasciitis and heel spurs which I had repaired. I am currently having physical therapy for arthritis in my right ankle. When you say try Walking without shoes for a while, since I am so flat footed would you recommend not?
Hello, I've started exercising after a few years of rest.. And now I'm having pain in my ankles and tendons. I'm thinking its because I'm older and didn't exercise for a few years. Would you have any advice
Hi I sprained my ankle about two months ago, according to the X-ray there were no fractures or broken bones. I visited an acupuncturist (That did not help, my ankle became more tender after his "replacement" of the tendons by messaging my ankle :/ ) I also visited a podiatrist, I asked him about the problem that I cannot do the Dorsi Flexion with my foot on a chair. He replies," why would you wanna do that?"I tried the Dorsi Flexion, it kinda hurts :( Should I keep doing that? Anyway thanks for your reply in advance
Chad you gatta do something for your fans in Arabic lang. Though simple and been used to; I found the content here was really motivational, and this particularly is missed in the Arab culture where most of the timed a person is been used until crash time and from there he is treated like a garbage or waste.
Please help me, I had a foot accident at basketball and now I almost can't move my left foot at all by myself. And when I try to move it it hurts. I can barely walk through my house and I need some exercises for it so I can walk again, please, help me if you know anything that can help me.

A hard tennis or golf ball is equally good. I have used them at times.
