I honestly don’t know how this man has done it but he has now officially made a video for every single one of my concerns
It's like he watches my life and knows how fucked my skeleton is. lol
Same Here. His unbelievable. The thing is I have so much going on that I need someone live. To properly diagnose all. As I’m aware of most of them, there is to many details currently involved. Where I can find someone like him 😭
He’s watching you!
Most concerns extend to other parts of the body that are mainly antagonists to the region affected. If you have an issue on you right hip you will reflect an issue on your left knee... Having asymmetric portions of the body is a consequence of habits. i used to have more muscle mass in my right leg and glutes. Now I am symmetric cause I jump rope and do symmetric yoga exercises, meaning that what ever I work I work on both sides, considering time and movement.
he reads your comments, hes read mine and made videos about it. he's just listening to his customers.
It’s always the left glute
Why is this true? Driving possibly?
totally😂
@@jonmullaly7497i don't drive and it is the case
It’s the right for me
@@jonmullaly7497 The human body isn't symmetrical, we are designed to be stronger on the right but, if we're not careful, the right can get too strong (or the left too weak) causing imbalances.
This back of hip stretch is a game changer for me. I’ve been struggling with poor glute activation on my right side and poor right ankle stability for a couple years now, to the point that it has prevented me from training the races I’ve been wanting to run. I’ve seen multiple performance specialists and PT’s and no one was able to accurately diagnose the problem or provide any solutions. This video and the video on unf*cking your knees have been absolutely huge. I finally understand that the problem is a closed back hip and poor internal rotation. The stretch for this in this video is what I’ve been needing. Thank you Conor!
Did you have limited ankle dorsiflexion in the right ankle? I'm kind of in the same boat and my right glute medius seems weaker, my right hip is a bit higher, and my right ankle has less ROM than my left, so my squats are very annoying and kind of unstable and i end up putting more weight on the left leg and coming off the right. Visually unnoticeable but i can feel it.
I noticed something strange happening. Very frequently now when I think of something, it pops up on TH-cam. Just yesterday I was thinking how my right glute isn't as active as my left, and I didn't say anything to anyone, and here is this post
Bruh same, honestly I feel like there’s some terms and conditions agreement I okayed and didn’t read that had some type of mindreading clause because it happens so often 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one... I've told a few people but they look at me a little funny. Doesn't matter, it's happened too many times to be just coincidences
How many other things did you think about and didn't show up?
Universal consciousness is leaking into the algos
😂same! It's either the longest running string of coincidences ever, or it's an emergent dynamic arising of the fact that so many of us worldwide have the same issues and are working through them at the same pace, assisted by the same algorithms and content creators. Either way it's freaky lol
I had an Orchiopexy on my left side when I was just 1 year old. Fast forward 30 years, and what was once considered 'normal' suddenly reveals itself as an issue, as my body fails to support me properly. For a while, I struggled to understand the root of my problems-difficulty breathing, disrupted sleep, digestive issues, perpetual nasal congestion-making life quite miserable. However, a small adjustment, a slight internal rotation of my right femur, has brought about a significant change. I'm now exploring ways to maintain this improvement. Conor, your videos have been a beacon of hope for me. Thank you immensely.
Dude you just changed my life. Same surgery, same issues, never thought about or noticed right femur rotation affecting left side. Holy freaking cow ty ty 🙏🏽
Conor man, honestly you have one of the most valuable channels in the world when it comes to this stuff. Thank you for everything, seriously !!!. Cant wait for your hypertrophy programs.
i've been telling all my co-workers at my food service job about your videos. it's so wonderful that you share your knowledge for free. i wish my parents had this when they were still around! they couldn't afford physical therapy, but desperatey needed it.
Constant quality content from Conor
Thank you for the support
@@conorharrishi there Connor, is that excercise demonstration for Left AIC Right BC pattern?
Connorrrrr you're putting out videos just as I need them. The best x
Good work! I have been using a similar approach in my therapy for the past 7yrs
Brilliant. Superb communicator. That covers it.
Thank you for this quality content Conor. Not sure if you have a dr. in your title but this video helps me see where the problem is and how to solve it. ❤
another good one directly related to what I've got to realign .. thanks again
you are the man dude you really understand the body and how to explain using it to ppl
The second exercise or stretch was a game changer for me. Thank you!
This is great. I chose my PT because she incorporates PRI concepts like this. I get an hour with her so she doesn’t have a ton of time to explain in detail like this. Your vids are a great enrichment for my restoration! Thank you! She has me doing the first exercise as my right glute isn’t firing or developed as will as my left. Thanks for explaining!
I see a woman named ashley sommers i go too in san carlos for pri and physiotherapy
She has good reviews from people and trained under bill hartman@@ephelesfrance7006
Thank you for having some of the best content for fixing imbalances. I've only tried the first exercise, which was a little tricky at first, but I finally got my left glute to activate without feeling other muscles. You the man! B)
I am so glad i ran into your channel
Wonderful content once again. Your passive Psoas exercises did absolute miracles for me. Now it us time for my glutes to fire up 😊
Good video. Like the boney stretch analogy
48 seconds in and you answered my question, I sent it out earlier today. My right side is dominant but looks different to left muscles on left more toned 😮
Yes. Excellent. Thank you.
I have one leg shorter than the other, and although I work out and play sports, there is an imbalance. When I was young, i avoided all of the leg exercises like squats, RDL and all that until my late 30s for fear of injury and they were just hard. I need all of these videos helping me now
Dude clearly has put a lot of time into understanding and applying these concepts. Thank you for your content!
Can’t wait to try
I don’t always agree with Conor but I admit I like this approach!
This is actually MORE BETTER THAN Conventional Physical therapy!!!! 💪🙂👍
I do have most problems you mentioned, doing exercises for all of them is so much
Thank you
i read this concept in detail in this book- Constead chiropractic science and art, termed used were posterior pelvis along with externally rotated pelvis
Osteopathy also have this same concept but they define it with respect to Sacrum- Right On Left axis sacral/somatic dysfunction
Moreover it also leads to apparent Limb Length discrepancy and thats y chiro check ur feet in their session followed by push test to confirm it
Conor the goat
The 2nd move definitely improved left hip internal rotation which has been a big limiter. I've had a torn labrum in that hip for nearly 30 yrs. More wasting in lateral rotators than glut max but I think getting length back into those rotators will improve activation. Thanks.
Thanks! Could you make video about carpal tunnel?
Thank you for this superb informative video!! can relate to this! Surgery for a torn hip labrum soon and that glute is so weak on that tear side obviously. Been trying for two months to get it activated and nothing. Hopping after surgery and being put back together it will wake up in PT. I’ll be sure to show my PT thus video for down the line for when I am ready.
Find a chiropractor to get it working before surgery. This stuff is std for chiropractic doctors and will save you from surgery, then make you properly functional.
Nicely explained and presented.
Thank you soooo mucchh omfgg
Great video as always, Conor! The depth and clarity of your videos is unmatched. If possible, I'd like to see how would you approach quad activation asymmetries. For example, I feel my glutes working hard on both sides when performing Bulgarian split squats; however, I don't feel my left quad working as hard as my right.
Back in 2017 I completely tore my ACL and partially tore two other ligaments in my right knee. I live in a very rural area and I felt like my physical therapist never really helped me as much as I’d hoped. I never got full flexibility back in that right knee. If I put my knees on the floor and sit on my heels I have to shift my weight to the left because I can’t fully bend my right knee. For several years now I’ve been trying to get back into long distance running but it’s been a real struggle. I have the issue that Conor described in this video..where my left glute is weak and that’s caused piriformis syndrome type pains. I’ve also developed overpronation, especially in my right foot. I’ve had some shin, calf, and ankle pain from that. Idk if this was all caused from the poor flexibility of my right knee or what. Through watching Conor’s videos for the last few weeks I’ve learned that I need to work on internal rotation and I’ve been doing some of the exercises like the ones described in this video. It seems to help a little. There are so many videos on TH-cam that give bad advice and that contradict each other etc. It took me so much time comb through all of them and I’ve found that Conor’s are basically the only ones that seem legit so I’ll keep watching and keep doing whatever he recommends. Thank you Conor 👍
im on the same crazy self learning journey through videos... i used to be a runner and then hurt my kneee like you, and had the piriformus pains etc etc... try exercises that strengthen the ankles!!! (and the posture and the gluteus medius) - im so excited to add this exercise in the video to my repertoire. it feels like the missing piece
I recommend buying his program(s)
Following his videos help but if really want to fix your issues his programs really have a map to success. Don't waste more time trying to figure it out yourself, I did the same thing. Had Acl surgery 2013(right knee).
I have no doubt that his program is worth the money but personally i am broke af and just cant cover something like that.. because of my injuries i have been out of work for too long. I hope to have better insurance coverage that will include physio next year..t these videos on youtube are a lifechanger though
@@NotFamous-vm1is
Oh my gosh I’ve been doing this everyday for 3 weeks straight and I noticed a big difference. Thank you so much Conor!
Seriously your hip is imbalance
@@harishsuryawanshi9546 is this a statement, a question, or a diagnosis from afar?
It's amazing how many different TH-cam videos you can come up with that use the same left side lying right glute max exercise and left posterior capsule stretch, kudos to you sir for the prophet generator!
Can this rotation cause sciatic pain? Standing on the book relieved my sciatic pain immediately. Thanks.
Hi Conor! Great content again!
Why does in exercise 2 the L (back) foot need to be elevated?
When I proceed like you say my L knee „gets in the way“ and I don’t really get my L hip to hinge
Loving the second one. My left glute had felt disconnected and had caused my hamstring to be tight and pulling at my inner knee. Will be doing this for a while and I’m hopeful. Is it normal for the left glute to be clicking when doing this?
Nice content! But a little confused, what to do with a guy is not left aic (better left SLR) , should stretch the right glute capsule first?
Try this..
Do a manual muscle test to see which side is weaker. Have someone lay on the ground face down and get them to bend leg at the knee and then raise the knee from the floor by 6/8 inches.
Support their lower back and push down on each hamstring, and ask them to resist against your downward push.
One leg will put up far more resistance than the other, it will be easily noticeable. One leg you can push their knee to the floor quite easily, and the other will be far stronger, almost impossible to push all the way to the ground.
Once you have discovered the weaker glute, get them to place their hand at the back of their head (the hand should be on same side as weak glute, so weak left glute = left hand pushing against back of head)
Then take other hand and firmly chop up in to the armpit where the pec minor reaches in to the armpit. Get them to do this while they are pushing the back of their head.
Now re test the weaker glute, it will have been reactived and have the same level of strength as the stronger side.
This works better than any glute activation exercise.
It’s literally like switching on a lightbulb
Touching the back of the head often works because that sub occipital fascia often over works for weak glutes. If you simply release the suboccipitals and then retest the glutes, you will often find they are strong. I use this everyday. It's called neurokinetic therapy.
Mine's on the right. I think it's how I sleep, or perhaps due to my my paralyzed vocal cord/paralyzed vagus nerve due to larynx damage.

Can you do one on one leg weaker than the other
Sir, you gain a new subscriber.. Plz answer my question. I have mild pectus excavatum from birth. Could it effect on my usa green card medical test? Is there any problem?
HI I am supinating a lot on my left foot There does seem to be a small weakness on the left outside leg Is there a connection to the glute and hip or ankle and knee?
Having asymmetric portions of the body is a consequence of habits. i used to have more muscle mass in my right leg and glutes. Now I am symmetric cause I jump rope and do symmetric yoga exercises, meaning that what ever I work I work on both sides, considering time and movement.
What if you had a glute tedonopathy ? And bulging disc sciatica ? And an injured ilio-psoas with tendonopathy ? All on the same side ?
Hello dear .. I have the same problem exactly and you are the only one who did really explain that ,, but the weird thing is that I can't activate the right glute which is in the side the pelvic bone is more forward ,, please reply to me because I'm really confused
If I've been feeling pain in my left glute, does that mean my right glute is weak? I golf a decent amount so I'm always putting more weight on my left side in the golf swing. Curious if the pain is due to that or something else
A great challenge for a talent like yourself is to study CPPS in men and develop a program that addressed the root cause. No one truly understands this beast.
How often should we do this
Is there a way to do these exercises without a wall?
How often do you do this?
My issue is that my gluteus medius is overdeveloped while the gluteus maximus isnt taking as much of the load and developing like I want it to.
I also noticed my traps get big when I would squat heavy even though my posture seems good leading me to think I'm not activating the right muscles. I do have high feet arches and my toe does point up a lot. Would this help or could you make a video that would help? Thanks!
Can't do it, the wall molding is old fashioned and goes six inches up from the wall and has a funny shape. My feet can't get evenly flat. Physical therapy ruined by crummy apartment construction again! Trying a coffee table book against the wall, wish me luck...
Same here
I don't quite understand which side I should choose. In a short video you made ('one foot that turns out more'), you say that you should lie on your left side if you want to bring your pelvis back to the left. In my case, my pelvis is twisted to the left, which is why I should lie on my right side. But this video here is about the gluteus. And in my case, the right gluteus is weak. According to this video here, I should lie on my left side (you don't mention it anywhere, but that's what I assume). So I have the same exercise in both videos, but on different sides. Is that correct?
Overtime i realized not only did i have an imbalance, but i alao walked funny and didnt realize. Before i ever looked into anhthing like this, i started with my walk. I made sure to extend my legs further back, use my whole range of motion to walk, and that alone has fixed a lot of my imbalance.
I feel a tightness in my foot arch on the same side as my weak glute. What do I do to fix that? It’s a sharp pain :(
I usually feel it when I take a step *sometimes
When I did the second exercise I don't feel much of a stretch on the glute maximus but a compression on the medius. Is this right or am I doing something wrong?
Does the Pelvis in the 2nd cause have a name? That tilt name i mean
ive been using horse stance and a lot of wiggling to find my glutes, there are also a lot of muscles in the mid and lower back that need programming to unbias the pelvis
when I work out it's always my left side that gets muscle spasm that must be my weak side of my glutes?
What are your credentials, XPS, and CES??? If you don't mind please? If I'm going to follow you, I would like to know where this information is coming from?
w video ❤
Damn! What's this profession called? I think I'll go in to seek help to fix the problems I'm now realizing, I have!
Do you know NeuroKinetic Therapy??
Sir plz plz reply Iam from india
I have pectus excavatum from birth. Now i want to come Australia for study. Will i fit in the Australia visa medical test? Could pectus excavatum affect my medical test?
Gluteus medius amnesia do you have help ?
Weird question that probably doesn't apply to many but, if you are very flexible, is there a point where you can no longer stretch your muscles "in a meaningful way"? For example, I used to do aerial more and it stretched out everything - maybe too much - now I have a hard time finding a stretch in my glutes and inner thighs. First thought it was my piriformis, then my psoas, then illiacus, QL...now I'm thinking it's a weakness in my glute medius but not sure. Pain daily in my outer hips and low back.
You may well benefit from more tension to stabilise and control positions rather than lengthen them further
My left glute is almost flat. Does this result in hip pains??
Yeah I’m just like wow I’m 28 finally and I’m already fucked up . Found out at 27 i have a hip dysplasia on the left 🙃🫶🏽 😒
i tear up when I try to mimic the same move , exercise or dance on the bad side and it’s unsteady, can’t extend or have the same control as the good side . Also notice a arch collapse on the same side as my dysplasia.
The bad leg feels shorter and looser than the other . But when I perform certain stretches the hip and buttock feels tight or stiff .
It hurts to walk and everyday I find myself walk conscious and awkward as if I’m still learning how to walk . I’m constantly trying to find a comfortable, none damaging way to walk while keeping my feminine walk because apparently stiff walking with a hunch back is more comfortable 😩
What is your professional discipline? I live in Berlin, Germany and am looking for someone who knows what you know who can work with me one on one to figure out what is causing my many issues and what exercises I need, but I don't know what to look for. Thank you.
Hes a physical therapist of some sort?
❤
My right side cheek sits lower than my left. On my profile view my left looks nice & perky & my right side looks like my cheek is melting into my hamstring 😂. I have scoliosis so maybe that’s my issue.
pellow
Can you fix this if you have a bunion?
Good question!
I’ve been doing this sidelying right glute exercise with toe spacers and it’s helped me sense my big toe (important for R glute activation) better. Everyone is different but personally this little tweak has helped me. Hope i provided some insight
I'd recommend you to explain the over-exaggeration (for presentation purposes) of the SI joint movement at the start before the explanation because you had me going crazy hahah.
One for each glute :)
Where did you learn this content Conor??? What are your credentials? Unless, you"re just reading from a textbook? No Exercise Physiologist has this kind of applied knowledge? Please reply when you can. Thanks!!!
My right side is my problem
Exvelent content, I am following you from Perú. One question: in the minute 4::05 I hear you saying "...he wants to feel the foot contact in the wall of his right first metatarsal head and inner heel..", I suppose you are refering to his RIGHT foot? Because you are touching the heel and metatarsal of his LEFT foot while explaining that.
Good luck getting into this position if you are alone.
Wait! I didn't know the pelic could move like that! Oh! It's exaggerated. Never mind.
i dont need a doctor any more
If I had a pelvis like that I would be in a wheelchair.
One smaller butt cheek can't be good. 🤭😅
