thank you so much for your help, i work in physical therapy and just started in outpatient. It's a whole other world than what i am accustomed to and your exercises/stretches helped me direct my treatment smoothly. I now feel a little more confident and knowledgeable!

I’ve been having ankle problems that are lingering despite rest, ice, stretching, etc. Found an article that mentioned abductor and core strength playing a role in stability in the legs and ankles and then found this vid to help work on my abductors. Love the way you explain the movement planes and other concepts besides just the exercises. The general knowledge is really useful. Thx!!

Had left knee pain when squatting and bending for three years. Finally saw a physiotherapist who said my tight quads, tight hip flexors, and weak abductors were pulling off my alignment with my quad and knee cap. Recommended stretching everyday along with some abductor exercises similar but not as advance as these ones

Only just discovered this channel. Really enjoy the thorough explanations accompanying each set of exercises/stretches.

I never leave comments.
This is an amazing video. The exercises made me almost cry, but I also realised how much I can improve. Now, with working so much at home during lockdown, I developed a pain on one side of my hip from the constant sitting (psoas, sciatica, I don't know but it hurts!). No yoga has been able to ease the pain. I hope these exercises will. Eric, any other exercises or videos you could recommend?

For the last three days I had what felt like excruciating back pain. I thought I had strained my multifidus muscle. But after second guessing myself, I suspected it was more of the abductors. Within seconds of doing these exercises, I felt a drop in pain. Thank you.

Thank you for this great video. This cross-legged lunge is awesome!!

Personal note (may help some): If have weak hips it helps to use a walking cane or a wall/desk to balance yourself so that you can allow your body to focus entirely on the slow sweeping motion as you reach out with your back leg

You’re a very knowledgeable human. I appreciate you. Thank you.

Excellent demonstrations and explanations - thank you! This is what Youtube should be about!

Great exercises- sounds like someone is doing drumming practise in the background

[CLIDUDE]

knew it, my abductors are so weak that it doesn't even matter how much I work my major muscle groups- I have decent beginner lifts & I'm reasonably fast, but I've had hip pain for ages. the second exercise is nearly impossible for me because I've never focused on these accessory muscle groups. awesome guide, I'll definitely be doing more of these soon. thanks!

Excelent video. Really liked your methodology for using closed chain and open chain exercises.
Sum:
- With closed chain exercises you work more on the stabilizer function
- Open chain are useful for activation of an especific muscle group.

By far one of the best hip abductor videos I’ve ever seen. For a year now I’ve searched for the nots my legs have experienced. And this video is something that addresses my knee and hips needs spot on. Thanks for the content man

[rwvidal]

Thank you for the thorough combination of the kinesology, stretching, and strengthening coverage. I am looking forward to strengthen these in hopes that it helps me better align my knee durnig squats/lunges (and avoid pain).

I am a yoga/pilates/tai chi certified coach. I LOVE your suggestions and tips. I have a son that will play in college in the fall. I will share all this with him. I am interested in purchasing your dvds. Is there a lot of new information in those as well? I also have athletic edge classes in my area so would love to point my students toward your channel. So any baseball specific material?
