Just did this again (without pain!) and WOW I feel like my legs are jello and I even have some weird stuff going on in the front of my left shoulder. Was able to spend 36 minutes on each side tonight. BTW I love these older videos with your cats. Thank you for all these awesome videos, Ellie.
Unfortunately my fluffy cat has since been put down (:() and the other cat is at my house (whereas now I film in my Studio). That's great this felt so effective! Sounds like you have some tight hips creating tension in your L shoulder! xxx
When I do this exercise I feel it mostly at front of hip, but also slightly towards my groin, particularly if I breathe in deeply. Is this ok? Will this also go away if I do the stretch long enough? Thank you.
The hint is in the name of the exercise! Sounds like you're feeling it perfectly and, yes, as the hip lets go more you'll feel this less and less. If you'd like access to my more up to date work and want the chance to ask questions, have a look at joining The Posture Squad! Hope to see you there xxx posture-ellie.com/the-posture-squad/
Very good explanation of supine groin stretch, there are so many subtleties to this stretch! I'm sending this link to a couple of bodywork clients who need help with both pelvic and pectoral girdle issues. I've used this stretch in the past, I think I need to add this one back for me.

Hi Ellie, I’m wondering if you can answer this quick question. Another great video and extremely informative. Thank you does the lower back making contact with the floor make it a priority over a strong contraction in the upper thigh? I have found recently both on the tower and not using the tower that I can get a strong upper contraction in the thigh Ahead of pelvis movement. In other words, I still have a slight space in the lower back whereby it is not making contact with the floor. Does one take priority over the other? Thank you in advance.
Hi Ellie. I tried this one because Pete says in his one book that, if you are in a lot of pain to just do static back, this and the (air? wall?) chair one. I got into the position ok and it felt ok (ie: did not exacerbate any current symptoms) for about 20 mins on each side, but afterward I had a huge flare of current symptoms. So I'm supposing this is "not the exercise for me" as you would put it!? Hehehe. I am learning SO MUCH about my body from doing these exercises and following your prompts. Thanks again.
This exercise may not work if you have lots of upper body compensation going on. If you found your body responded the way that it did, focus on your upper body first (maybe Modified Floor Block) and then try it again and see if it feels different having improved the upper body position first xxx
@@postureellie thank you for the recommendation. I am going to try the modified floor block soon. I signed up for your Groundwork course and am slowly going through the assessment part right now.
Hey - I am not entirely sure what you mean but, on paper, Static Back and Supine Groin Stretch are both great posture exercises for excessive curvature in the spine (they relax the spine out of the curvature). You'd maybe want to have plenty of pillows under your head to ensure the lower ribcage is grounded and the neck isn't hyperextended.

@postureellie asking for my friend with ankylising spondylitis..not for myself. I am understanding that with proper support, he may be able to try static back .thanks..
@@mindyelias5497 There's lots of things he will be able to try. Always just listen to his body and stop anything that aggravates normal symptoms. Wish you both luck! xxx
I have been instructed to hold contraction for five minutes, relax for five and contract five again. Repeat on other side....I wonder why the difference.
Hello Ellie I'm doing the supine groin stretch now and after 20m Minutes each side my arm's and hands are shaking like mad I don't know if that's a good thing and after doing the stretch my right hip still hurts any advice will be appreciated thanks mick xx
Amazing difference. Took me 24 minutes on the left side and 14 on the right

Wow! Thank you so much! I have a chronic right shoulder impingement that returns every few years and this helped SO Much!
This sounds like your R shoulder is impinged due to a lack of hip extension! Good work and sorry for my very late reply haha xxx
@@postureellie wow, it's crazy that the shoulder could be painful because if a hip extension problem...I will try today :) thanks for the video !

Hey James - wait until lower back settles before moving down a level xx

How would you instruct someone who has a curved, lord otic spine to do static back or supine anything?

Minutes each side my arm's and hands are shaking like mad I don't know if that's a good thing and after doing the stretch my right hip still hurts any advice will be appreciated thanks mick xx
Sounds good - shaking is always good! I can't offer further advice without knowing anything about your body I'm afraid xxx
