Thanks. Love your vids. I am 70 years old and your exercises seem to target the areas that have become the weakest. Keep ‘em coming!
Wow Taro, doing this helped me discover a major muscle imbalance as I try to correct an asymmetry! Will be doing this daily!
That’s a terrific variation on the Clam Taro. Extra bang for your buck …and good for the gluts 🎉Thank you Taro🙏⭐️
my pleasure!
Mr. Iwamoto, your way of explaining is thorough, calm, accessible, and described the movement of energy, which helps me understand things in my body. I have many joint, muscular, and nerve issues that make life very uncomfortable and also make it difficult for me to feel what I'm doing. Simply moving safely and maintaining a base level of functional strength is very important to me. I've never been able to get medical help for these things, so your channel has been a life changer. Wishing you growing and ongoing success.
Thank you very much for your comment and kind words!
Your page is amazing. Thank you for all that you do for us. 🙏🏼🤗
Top! We are so lucky people like you explain all that to us! Thanks!
Thank you, Taro! Doing the closed chain version integrated my spine in a way that's been missing for a while. I feel more stable. What a relief!
You're welcome! I love the closed chain version a lot. You can add a thera-band (elastic band) around your knees to increase challenge!
A very different clamshell! Great exercise and explanation.
Taro san, you are truly doing a great job and I am truly grateful to you ❤
This one exercise has been harder for me than any others my physical therapist gave me to do.
Thanks, Taro, for the important video that will strengthen my ability to balance and stand more securely without leaning!
Excellent cueing!
This is one exercise I need to do more. I noticed this is a particular (injury-origin) weakness, where I can’t hold my straight leg up (while reclined) for very long without hurting, but a clamshell is the same thing with less weight and I can do it.
I agree with Vern I’m 70 years old and suffering with a very severe iliotibial band syndrome which I find exercise makes worse
I am sooo grateful 🙏 for your sharing. So easily to understand and take on. Bless you♥️🌈🙏
Excellent overview of the Clam and the alternative Taro - I used to do the trad one but will switch to these two.
Thank you! So well explained!
All of your videos are helpful. Wish I had found you sooner.
You can also put a exercise band around your legs and do both simultaneously.
you mean while doing it with log rolling style?
@@TaroIwamoto yes
@@lexroet1215 if you add a thera band for your arms, then you can train your core with your hips, using log rolling concept so you can work on hips and core in a functional way.
@@TaroIwamoto that's a great idea I will try it out tonight once I'm home
Thank you very much. Your videos are very professional and helpful 👍
🙏🏻thank you
Again, very nice video.
A progression from here could be standing beside a wall and bending your hip and knee of the inside leg to 90 degrees and press the (bend) leg into the wall. This is even more functional (and challenging) as you are standing on one leg and you have to balance yourself. You have to activate the stabilisers on both sides.
Kind regards,
Hans Schipper
Thanks. Your Videos really helps me. 😄🇩🇪
Great help!
Great explanation-much appreciated! On the closed kinetic chain, is it OK to hold down/press down the bottom leg just to be sure that it’s really putting pressure into the ground? When I first did it, as I rotated the pressure of the bottom leg into the ground was lost. Thanks for everything that you do!
Do you have an exercise for strengthening the pelvic floor? Thank you for helping me with my posture.
Good one!
Love your videos, they so beautifully presented with such clear explanations.
I’m a Franklin Method educator, but have always loved the Feldenkrais Method.
Interestingly I read that some recent research showed that the open chain clamshell may be an irritant for the ITB band, because of friction, whereas the closed chain version might avoid this.
Thank you for explaining this - that fits my experience, and it's nice to understand.
Thank you! 😊
Enjoying your videos and is that carpeting or a yoga mat you are on? Do you recommend floor coverings? Thank you.
that is a floor rug:)
Thank You! Very good it helps the release of the thighs hip. Do we do the exercises daily or thrice a week?
Hi Taro Thank you so much for this movement. I heard you mention that it is good to do both the regular and this new improved version however I have much pain in my hips/sides when doing the regular clamshell. Is it just as beneficial (or better!) to just do your new improved version? thank you
it always comes down to knowing your intention of your practice and desired outcomes you are trying to achieve, and a functional context. Doing this regular way helps people isolate hip movements. A drawback is that people learn to compartmentarize and disintegrate body parts and move such way habitually. Thats when doing isolated exercises can become undesirable. The new way i am showing in this video is teaching people how to integrate parts, which is missing in many people today.
@@TaroIwamoto Thank you for explaining...sounds like your way then is the best for me as I want to do what is best for my ageing body as I am tired of being sore (almost everywhere!) and would like to at least maintain what I have going forward...or possibly feel better ...which would be awesome! thanks
🥰🥰🥰
When I press my lower leg / knee into the ground , the upper leg does not move much , thanks for the video
you are welcome. if the top leg doesnt respond when pressing the bottom leg into the floor, it suggests that you are doing something that keeps the top leg from moving, so there is habitual muscular activities that fight against your top hip. My guess is your core. if you let go of core, and let your pelvis rotate, then the top leg will become lighter and lift away easily.
@@TaroIwamoto you are right , due to sensory motor amnesia it is difficult t let go of my core , Wii try releasing it ,
I tried after releasing my core and the leg moved more , thanks . Tell me how would I know if the medius is tight or weak ? Is this move good for both scenarios? I barely can stand on one leg , knee moves inwards and sometimes the foot/ankle rolls in while walking . I do a lot of somatics and it talks about muscles getting so tight that they feel weak. I also want to add when I am standing I notice my right foot is turned in quite significantly
@@naveenahmad1331 interestingly enough, that could be related to various things (head-eyes organization, head-torso-legs organization, etc). What appears to be muscle weakness or tightness is sometimes coordination issue. I recommend you try my balance series, and practice this daily for one week, and see if you notice your balance will improve. th-cam.com/video/aNACGmuSM5w/w-d-xo.html
@@TaroIwamoto I definitely will , thanks
Your title says “Mater your body”
thanks for letting me know. i corrected it.
@@TaroIwamoto You’re welcome
