Thanks for encouragement and info of sources of pain!
Instead of a good chair I bought a power standing sitting desk. When my butt gets tired I stand. When my legs and feet get tired I sit back down. With a touch of a button my desk adjusts. Best $200 I have ever spent.
Which desk did you buy? Do you like it?
@@lweddle5 I got a Flexispot EC1 from Amazon. I love it.
Thank you so much. Now I can't sit without thinking, "You're crushing your butt muscles." Your videos have been extremely helpful. After doing nothing but sitting while working from home when the pandemic hit at age 64, I didn't do anything and before watching your videos--didn't think I could. I can now Asian Squat, and am working at using that position through the day (30 seconds at a time now that I can breathe) I can sit on my heels, and I'm walking one or two miles a day. At 67 I have better mobility, and feel better than I have since my 30's. I also stretch a little every chance I get. You're helping.
CONGRATS!! You are doing an AWESOME job and your story will inspire others!!! 💪🔥
Great reminder - i watched this video standing up! For me sitting is fine. but the longer i sit the more it hurts my hips and hammy's to get up. My general goal is spend at 15 minutes of every hour doing things around the house
Your reassurance at the beginning made me tear up with relief. Thank you!
After just one day of doing the FAI fix I see a definite improvement.
I noticed that after a long winter and more sitting than normal, that's when my hips really started to complain! I am normally not sitting for hours at a time. I get up often but that still didn't prevent my issue.
For the last two years I have been using a large (65cm) Pilates ball along with an adjustable standing desk and I am very happy. I still have back pain for about 60 seconds after standing up but I attribute that to sitting for long periods of time and not taking frequent enough breaks.
Overall I give the Pilates ball a B+.
Pros: They're cheap and allow for a lot of bouncy movement. They force you to use your legs constantly for balancing on top of it.
Cons: They're not very adjustable though they do come in different sizes and can be deflated if too high. Challenging, but not impossible, to play a guitar while sitting on one.
I can’t tell you how much I needed this advice! I have hip and back chronic pain, it’s really hard to work from an open space office precisely because I can’t freely do those moves to balance out the time I have to spend sitting down 😢 When working from home and able to take frequent breaks to activate my muscles, it makes a huge difference in my pain management and sleep.
Hi Matt, I'm 63 yrs old and I've had a failed S1-L4-L5 fusion with adjacent segment disease (ASD) with 4 bulging disks above the fusion site for 20 years and I've managed to live with it by listening to my body and doing what works. Now my R hip and thigh are so painful I've had to take months off work and cancel my life. 9 months and 5k dollars later, I've seen six doctors, 2 chiropractors (30 sessions), had 2 injections, 8 x-rays, and an MRI - and now I'm told I need a spine injection. And guess what, Matt? I'm still out of my mind in pain and have no answers. Here is what I've been told so far: FAI, torn labral, torn gluteus, bursitis, arthritis, L-4-L3 nerve impingement. I don't have any more money to purchase your programs, so I'm trying your CZcams suggestions. Question: is it possible that if the ASD is impinging my L-4-L-3 nerve, focusing on muscles will release that impingement? I would LOVE to know what you think about pinched nerves in the spine. I'll be using your free resources until I can afford a program.
Thank you!
Gosh, you make so much sense, it helps me look at my own body differently, in a more healthy way.
Excellent video. Thank you. ✌🏽👏🏽
Great advice, Thank you
Fact of the matter is we were just not created to sit 8 hours or more a day. We need and require movement. Thank you for this video
Your videos are helping me tremendously .
EXCELLENT video. So many important points to consider 👍
I have a labral tear in my left hip and it's causing me pain. Standing is more painful than sitting, and even walking hurts. I'm doing muscle exercises every day to try to correct it. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you!
Really appreciate it ❤
I would like a follow along video. Your stretches exercises have help me lot.
very good. so easy to get lazy now that im retired. so tempting to just lay around even though i know too much of that will ruin me. no wonder so many die soon after retiring.
The voice of reason and experience. You’re so right !
I’ve done many exercises to get better, yes I improved over months but at what cost ?
Those exercises were mostly quite difficult, at least uncomfortable, ineffective or counterproductive, not adapted to me and therefore unlikely to motivate me long term in the midst of whatever else I’m doing.
Yours are sustainable long term, can be done anywhere.
After a half an hour of your very simple exercises I already feel a stronger effect that I didn’t get with the more difficult ones. I expect to be sore tomorrow. Very grateful !
As someone that sits at a desk for 8+ hours a day, this is really important to consider for longevity.
As a gamer and writer, I would spend a lot of time at my desk, when I damaged my L4, L5 and S1 back in 2020, I could barely sit down on my computer chair or even on the couch without being in absolute agony. My husband had a Secretlabs gaming chair which could adjust to being in Zero gravity mode, so he swapped chairs with me and I was able to be at my desk a lot longer. Fast foward to this year when I came across your videos Matt and between them and the computer chair, I can spend hours on it with no pain and have done so for 6 months now (that's how long it's been since discovering your videos).. I also managed to talk a friend out of getting the CT guided injection for her back pain as I got that 2 years ago and made me worse off and instead, got her to check out your videos and the last 2 months have been the best for her as she's had a massive reduction in pain
Thanks for sharing the story!!!
Thanks!
Your support means a lot!
I got a kneeling chair a few years ago and I love it! I don't get any tightness in the front of my hips like with a regular chair, and I feel like my posture is better when using the kneeling chair.
i allways have trouble finding the right balance..
either i move too much, then i dont have the stability, and sitting and standing without being able to move feels very uncomfortable
or i sit too much, then i feel stiff, but it feels way more comfortable to sit and stand in one position..
so good
good presentation, I get up every 25 or 30 minutes when I have to sit, and shall try some of your exercises. have dipslasia of left hip but have worked hard to strengthen surrounding muscles William montreal
7:50 I have been using a large fitball to sit on when working at my computer for probably 10 years.
It’s great for Balance and your core I don’t sit on it like a regular chair. I prefer to roll slightly forward so that my feet and knees are almost behind me (kinda like a kneeling chair), taking the pressure off my butt and hips.
I realised that there is no back support like a regular office chair, but I find that it’s impossible to slouch when sitting on a ball.
So when your body gets tired, you actually know when to pack up, and either go for a walk, or head off to bed.
The other thing I use during the day is a mini tramp standing a high desk. I don’t use it to jump up and down. I use it to improve my balance and I stand on it whenever I need to read long emails, make video calls, or watch CZcams.
At first, I could only do it for a few minutes before I got tired. Now I can do 4 to 6 hours no problem
Listening further into this video… I realise that I also do not have a dining table or any chairs in my house… I eat most of my meals standing up at a high counter… And after moving house, and not getting around to furnishing the living room, I also don’t have a couch or watch television. I’m not saying I’m the healthiest person, but my flexibility, and mobility, for someone who does not do any regular strenuous exercise is pretty good and pain-free. I also don’t drive a car, don’t commute by public transit and walk everywhere.
WOW! Until I wrote this, I didn’t realise how awesome my way of life has been for my body.
I've read all your comments, definitely nowhere to slouch at your place! Love it! And interesting insights to using a fitball as a prop. Unfortunately I have a sloping floor so too much work on one side to keep in place. Cheers.
Thank you for your videos! Your advice is no nonsense, upfront, honest and helpful. Your knowledge in how the body works and how to alleviate pain and discomfort is so helpful and so easily explained. I have hip issues and your videos have helped me alleviate pain, move around more and just possibly avoid a hip replacement! You offer so much more than orthopedic doctors do!!!Thank you so much! I look forward to your next video
Happy to help!
Thank you Dr, my problem started after 70 years just did right total knee replacement 23 days after walk normal dive my car after 10 days but i don’t how they handle me because now I have hip pain that I didn’t have before and with your help and when all this tapes from the surgery fall off I and planning to go walking in the pool.
What about the kneeling stool/chair not seen in the video?
Yeah, I was waiting to see whether it was worth getting one of these too
There is NO SUCH THING as a "perfect" chair you can stay in all day every day.
You still gotta MOVE regularly.
I have been sitting on hard bleachers. My son plays lots of sports and I believe that is the cause of my hip and back pain. Stand all day at work then sit for hours watching my son play sports. Im try to find an idea of what I can do. I do try to get up and walk around after a while. I have tried seat cushions. My hip is definitely aggravated at the moment. Thanks for the suggestions!
I have learnt that you are very entertaining.... and I like it! I've ditched my ROCK HARD Saddle chair.... and gone back to a softer one and I'm 'wriggling' around constantly. Already feels better. (I have Dr.Googled and think I have GTPS??). I'll be back!
Any recommendations or advice for drummers?
Set a timer at 30-45 minutes to get up and move. Makes a huge difference.
I know this has nothing to do with chairs and sitting… But I was just wondering... with so many CZcams channels that talk about resistance training & doing weights… I'm curious to know what your take is on those machines that just wobble your muscles. Is there any benefit to them?
Hi, I've been watching your videos and was wondering if you could explain the difference between hip osteoarthritis v.s. hip impingement v.s. FAI? I was told I was a good candidate for hip replacement surgery, but I am desperately trying to avoid it.
Yoga Balls: Didn't work out for me. 1) I am short and don't always have control over the height of the desk or keyboard tray and, while there are different sizes of yoga balls, they are not adjustable. 2) An issue bigger than hips for me is RSI right shoulder and arm issues. I need to prioritize the position of my typing and mouse position, height, etc. (yes I will sometimes switch mouse hands). If my shoulders, elbow, hand position is not right I get immediate feedback. So, no yoga ball for me.
RSI of hands and upper arms can also be a pinched nerve in the back. Try forcefully lowering your shoulders and also stretching your elbows back behind as when waking up. This may clear the RSI of hands instantly, with the nerve signal unblocked in this way.
My only question is if posture is so important we all should be in pain ..almost e1 in my office and other professions slouching. Hardly anyone can sit in idea posture if you look around. I Have seen few physio say bad posture causes disc bulge what do you think ?
Like what's the threshold?
Do you have a video for the SI joint? Mine always go out of alignment
Any advice for truck drivers?
I'm being crushed by my muscles..11 years and 2 back surgeries later I'm so much worse than I was before. It was my SI joints all along.. now I'm fused from L3/4- L5S1 and it's crushing my pelvis that much more 🥺
My hips and particularly my left thigh hurt so bad. I continually have to adjust even when I'm trying to sleep. Being an active nurse it is concerning to me. I do swim and do hydrotherapy too.
Can I do these exercises in the pool? I have muscle atrophy after illness.
Hi Matt. I did you hip impingement program. I am still hurting and sometimes worst. It hasn’t help me. I am desperate 😭
I've met plenty of people with fibro who's lived active lives all of their lives. So I don't think it's just an atrophy issue.
Because fibromyalgia at the end of the day is a disease of inactivity atrophy of muscle tissue and depression, and they were cyclically to increase pain
@@54tristin got a scientific source for that statement? I've heard all kinds of things about Fibro. And I am trying to learn more, but I need actual sources.
Hey Matt, what do recommend for a long 10 hour long road trip in a car?

Recap by Tammy AI
Could hip pain cause bilateral Meralgia Parastetica?
My pelvic bone tends to rotate, impacting my low left back, hip and groin. Tonight, while walking my dog, it felt like my pelvic bone was aligned correctly, but my left hip was popping and crackling with every step I took. By the time I returned home, my left hip was in so much pain. What on earth?!
Sounds like arthritis
@@RepentfollowJesus😞. I wondered. Really hope it doesn’t worsen. The pain is terrifying sometimes. Doing what I can on the stretching front, but…the crackling stuff is quite a recent development. Has me concerned.
Sounds like an impingement to me. I'm going to see a physical therapist for a shoulder impingement soon. Maybe you can see a good P.T. for your hip?
"Butt & Hamstrings: Stop it! You're killing us!"
Goldilocks and the three chairs.
On a yoga ball laying tummy side down rolling around on it doing glute strengthening be better then sitting up
I spent $2,900 on a custom ergonomic chair which included a session to measure all of my ligament dimensions. They were really kind, and the service was good. But when taking it home I found I am forced to sit in a really weird position that forces me to sit partly on my back, and after even 5 minutes I already have lower back inflammation and it is unbearable. I’m so disappointed but can’t ask for a refund as they really put efforts to make it work for me
You rest. You rot. Keep moving!
My grandmother said:” I would rather wear out than rust out!” She was still goin’ and ablowin’ when she passed at almost 103…She was sharp as a tack as well…
zero gravity chair?
Help. !!!! I can’t even walk right now!!!
I dont sit at all. I lie on my couch. Lol
You keep putting down a surgical option, but when the issue is a degenerative severe central spinal stenosis and anterior listhesis, this is not a muscular problem and the condition will never be fixed. I can see the benefit of getting stronger, and I do understand the "hope" that by getting stronger one won't feel the symptoms of the diagnosis, but surgery IS, in fact, the only permanent remedy of the underlying problem
I didn't hear that diagnosis in this vid?? Gaining muscle has everything to do with not aging abnormally. Look up Dr Hyman , he's great. If you even read this lol 😅
Wow! Seems so obvious when you describe your butt being crushed all day long from sitting. As I work from home I'll break from sitting every couple of hours to do kettlebell swings to reactivate my butt and hamstrings.
Your take on fibromyalgia is way oversimplified and unhelpful, not to mention lacking in information, but I really appreciate the exercises you recommend and demonstrate.
ABM is better. Always Be Moving Shifting weight, ❤️stretching 😃
No pain No Gain !
Just lay down instead of sitting 😂
