Description: Day 7 - Hips & Low Back

Getting a bit easier in the hips. Certainly loosening the lower back.

Back to the lower back and hips! 

Lower back pain is one of the most common injuries or complaints we face in the modern world - in both active people, and those that are a more sedentary. 

What we often see is that there’s an intricate relationship between our pelvis and hips, and lower back pain. Often times when we’re able to restore function to the tissues and movement patterns around that area, we see improvements in discomfort, and also performance.  

So today that’s what we’re addressing. If you sit a lot, this one’s for you.

You're just going to need a tennis ball or something maybe a little harder, and a wall.

Day 7 - Hips & Low Back

I'm turning 75 and have always been active but never really assessed my fitness or worked to improve it systematically. Now I have the time and focus needed, so I am glad to get started with you

I have noticed (that’s the reason why I am trying to get more flexible) that my range of motion of the test is really limited in all the positions.

Day 1 - Welcome & Phase 1 Baseline

This is a wonderful way to get your body moving if you have been on break.

Clear instructions and just what I needed. Looking forward to the next video

I did not realise how out of shape I am. Barely got arms past my ears. Everything seems so much looser after just the one session. Hope it’s going to continue through the next 30 days.

Day 2 - Overhead Mobility: The Thoracic

Feel a little tight at the beginning but better at the end.

Man my hips need a lot of work. Can’t wait for the rest of this reset. I had a knee injury when I was young. It halted all my weight training and exercise for many years. Then I worked with a trainer on P&F training for three months and I was running again. Then life happened and I stopped. My body has regressed and I can’t seem to progress. Really hoping this program gets my body free so I can get back to strength training.

Day 3 - Hips & Low Back

Shoulders have always been one of my weakest point. Feel better now.

Shoulder feel better. For sure some knots in the traps and under the pit. I use to use a foam roller to do these exercises. But I really like the firmness of a lacrosse ball against the wall!!! Thanks for the new technique.

I rate myself here. Neck still a bit painful and tight, can’t use the wall here as paint is chalky and comes off! Did the ball exercises by holding and moving the ball against me, so probably not quite as much pressure as the wall gives.

Day 4 - Shoulder Flex & Extend

That felt so good. My squat was so much better after 2 rounds!!! Excited to keep progressing!

Nice on my back, found some painful glute areas which I spent time on. Need to work out how to maximise you on my telly as you are so small I have yo guess a bit at where you are using the ball. Will talk to techie hubby🙂

Day 5 - Hamstrings & Low Back

Day 6 - Overhead Mobility: The Thoracic

I don’t spend any time sat at a desk but boy were there some extremely painful areas in my shoulders!

Day 8 - Shoulder Flex & Extend

This felt good. Never sure if I’ve got the ball in the right place tho’.

This has really helped w my chronic back issues. Thx

Day 9 - Hamstrings & Low Back

I really like your continuous checking process, which very few experts do. It shows your confidence in what you teach, and keeps us actively involved in making improvements

Will get hubby to double check my progress when he’s not working. Have discovered that not only do I seem to have an obstruction in my left shoulder, but also in my right hip. I suspect spurs so am not sure that I can improve on some of the moves associated with those. A bit of a shame.
