I have been to many medical professionals regarding managing back pain from flexion intolerance, none of them demonstrated the competence you have here. This could be a damn lecture, great content!

[hudontraining]

I try to watch a video of yours each day because I genuinely feel like your making me a better personal trainer

[johnathonsmith]

Love the movement analysis in this video. As I am studying osteopathy and strength and conditioning at the moment, it’s so interesting how you break down the assessment and then use the key findings to create a treatment plan! Would love to see more of these!

[marykate]

I wish I could find this kind of help where I am. I feel so scared I am ruining my body and there is just no guidance. I just get told not to exercise and that just makes me depressed.

A lot has changed since i started reading ur book doc and once i religiously and regularly started doing exercises prescribed in the book my squats skyrocketed from 200 pounds which were performed in am performing squats 260 pounds squats for 5 sets that too rock bottom without any assistance and the reps are 8 to 7 on all of u very much from the bottom of my love and respect from bless

Doctor I really appreciate your support and uploading these videos... It really helps us doctor. ❤️ Please upload more of it.

[omanduhuislife]

I'm constantly in awe of your vids, thanks for your generosity Doc🤗🥳

[snakeace]

Hey just had to come down here and tell you that your videos are better than any of the learning material i had for my trainer licenses. Its just amazing, thank you so much!

[andreab]

Great video, if I can suggest an approach that helped me a lot to solve this problem is: the slow start in the first phase of the lift, concentrating on pushing with the legs, then cose the lift in 5 sec

[nathanschultz]

This is awesome! I'm learning I'm also flexion intolerant in my back and how to fix it! i was able to deadlift 515 lbs when i was 19 and was my best lift and now 31 (and a coupe of kids and a desk job) i haven't deadlifted heavy in over 18 months. i cant wait to keep learning and get back to it!

[GundamWing]

In the process of recovery myself, thank you so much for the information! 😊

[hirolla]

Damn, nice video. I've had an undiagnosed herniated disc for over 20 years from dead lifting. And this totally makes sense. Watching this video won't make me go back to dead lifting but makes the movement more understanding. Thank you.

[FranciscoGonzalez-qerm]

Thank you! I pulled my back so bad doing this because I was starting off with my shoulders higher and my hips low (proper) form, but now this makes so much sense.

[amankidwai]

Definitely trying these exercises in my next workout...

[marknicholson]

A great clear speaker, among fantastic coach!

[taylanb]

thanks for the video. every time learning a new thing from you, you're really inspiring!

[krisholt]

Recently picked up your book to dig into this topic then found this video. It’s great to see a real-time evaluation and getting into remediation to tie it all together. Thanks

[NeoclassicalRadagast]

Your videos are great. I probably had an arrogant attitude that I knew everything from studying Ian King and Charles Poliquin's writing for years. You definitely have something to day though and we appreciate it.

[slon]

been following for a while but this lady has exactly my symptoms albeit im a weighlifter. thank you for the analysis

[Gunbardo]

I’ve gotten xrays, mri and ct scans, and my doctors have always come back telling me my back, hips and legs are unremarkable. Basically, they’re saying nth is wrong with my body and the discomforts I’m experiencing are just…. nth. I understand that I might have used the wrong techniques and lifting too heavy at times over the years but how can it be that I have to continue living my athletic life in agony? There has to be a solution for the aches/pains. This video definitely taught me something to fix it.
