    I was so upset and worried. Using the stairs has gradually become a problem. Did not know what to do. I was blaming the bilateral hip replacement 15 years ago but was not very convinced. My perspective changed when I saw your videos. Now I know that I’ve got problems with my gluteus and thighs. The main thing is that it all makes sense and now I know what to do about it. I’m very optimistic of regaining my mobility back. Thanks so much.

    I can't kneel down anymore after surgery. I had torn meniscus and when they doctor did the surgery he said he saw I had a lot of arthritis and said he "cleaned it up" . He told me to never kneel to do anything. I've tried to kneel on a padded surface and it is not good. It's very painful.

    • @basementdwellers5688
      @basementdwellers5688 Před 24 dny +5

      Only the first stretch requires kneeling. The next two don’t. Also, doctors aren’t gods. It might be worth your time to seek out a second opinion as well as physical or occupational therapy to explore and possibly extend your range of movement. In your situation, I’d want to look for possibilities or alternatives before abiding by limitations. Good luck!

    • @user-ov4wr5yu4r
      @user-ov4wr5yu4r Před 24 dny +4

      You can replace the first one with putting your foot up on a sturdy chair while standing. IF you're able without pain. It is essential to point your bent knee out over your toes, not inward (the standing knee over toes also). Rock your tailbone forward and up, and push it a bit forward if you want to increase the stretch. While a second opinion might be helpful, it's dangerous to just listen to youtube comments telling you to refuse limitations. What I always heard from martial arts teachers was prevention is better than cure. Wear knee pads or use thick cushioning *before* you damage your knees. However, you now have damage, which might not be your fault at all. For example, I have a bone spur on my heel, and sure enough, that knee is worse. You now have to manage your condition, not ignore it. Work with what you have. Always try to get referrals for physiotherapy whenever possible. You may not be cured, but you can improve. ❤

      @@user-ov4wr5yu4r I did not nor would I ever advise a person to “refuse limitations.” That is none of my business. Rather, I suggested looking for possibilities or alternatives. As a matter of fact, you actually helped the person by providing a possible alternative to kneeling … in a youtube comment.

    Hi Will, thanks for this infomative video. I'd like to try those stretches when I start on hikes but the ground is not always suitable for sitting, especially when it's raining. Do you have a standing stretch for the glutes as well?
    Btw, got your book sent to Germany. Lots of helpful tips and advice, I'd recommend it to others here if only it was available in German as well. 😉
