The neck needs strength too! Comment “Neck” for a gentle neck pain relief guide with massages, stretches, and strengthening exercises.

Once you work up to this with our free guide above, start training the neck once a week to help quell neck pain, tightness, or headaches.

If your neck issues worsen as a result of this work, consider working in a smaller range of motion, reducing the reps, or diving into that guide mentioned above.

Even the most finicky of necks can be strengthened… slowly, gradually, and patiently.

Don’t have a partner and need help with hip pain? Comment “Hip” and we will send you a series with self-massages, stretches, strengthening exercises, and mobility training to help you reduce hip pain.

Katie is little lady. I am bid lad. Katie make big massage with little elbow. 🐵

Rotating the leg helps to pull the muscle fibers through the elbow and feels really good.

You will be massaging the glutes and piriformis by doing this. If you can’t find the bony landmarks that we mention in the beginning of the video, just target the center of the butt cheek.

Let us know if you want more content like this. We have several more coming out showing a variety of massage techniques for different areas of the body for big and little people alike.

I used to massage people for years a long time ago. As long as you know where a muscle starts and ends, you can massage it quite easily.

Massage can be a great way to connect with your partner and provide them with some temporary relief.

Start the massages lightly and gradually increase pressure when they ask you to. Tell your partner, “I’m going to start light, tell me to push harder or softer. Make sure to breathe slowly and fully the entire time.” It isn’t rocket science.

Comment “Back” for in-depth coaching guide on how to start hinging with a neutral spine when you have back pain. The guide will also have self massages, stretches, and several mobility exercises for the lower back.

Be careful when ONLY moving with a neutral spine. Learning how to maintain a neutral spine is great when you are at the beginning of your pain recovery journey and it can be very helpful for many exercises.

However, life requires more than a stiff spine. It needs a spine that can bend in a variety of directions.

The goal of pain recovery is to get back to being able to move the spine in all directions (even under load) while feeling confident and pain-free.

Our programs teach you how to do just that (link in bio).

Do you have a tighter side? How about a weaker/stronger side?

Should you be worried if one side is tighter and/or weaker than the other?

Is one shoulder tighter than the other?

Is one calf stronger than the other?

Do your toes extend more on one side than the other?

These are just a few of the hundreds of examples I could give.

Literally every joint in our body will feel a little different than the other. Everyone deals with that.

Even if it looks like the movement and range of motion are the same, an excellent mover will know that one side is just a tad bit stronger, tighter, or have less balance than the other.

We can work to even things out to the best of our abilities, but for each muscle and joint to be exactly the same from side to side is an unreasonable goal.

Even if you work to achieve ****perfection**** your lifestyle and habits will continually pull your joints into acting differently one one side vs. the other.

So, quit tripping about one side being weird compared to the other. Work to improve your mobility, but don’t obsess over it.

Are you hypermobile? Comment “Bendy” to learn more about hypermobility and the various ways it can impact you (not just your joints!) Both Katie and I have been diagnosed with the hypermobile variant of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). We tell our stories in the resources mentioned above.

The sacroiliac joint is a robust joint with a ton of tissue holding it in place. In general, it only moves about 1 degree for most people. For hypermobile folk, especially women, there seems to be a higher likelihood of having SIJ pain the crops up from time to time.

These few exercises may give you an idea of how to work single-sided exercises without fear of things going wonky. Single-sided exercises are excellent for strengthening as they allow you to challenge your movements with less weight, improve stability of the joint (balance for instance), and figure out which side is weaker/tighter/stronger so that you can make things more equal.

In general, once you figure out which side has more difficulty, we tell people to train that side first, do as many reps as they can on that side with decent form, then replicate the same number on the strong side. For example: if a workout says to do 12 reps on each side, start with the “weak” side. If you can only do 9 on that side, then do 9 on the “strong” side as well. This can help even things out.

Time to go get an A on that Anatomy test! Comment “Back” if you need help with lower back pain.

This painting took about 2.5 hours by Alexandra Webber and is an awesome piece.

The highlights are done by our editor.

The only AI in this post is the generated captions.

For this painting, I wanted to dive deeper into the TVA (Transversus Abdominis) muscle and how it plays a role in controlling pressure in the abdomen. I find that it can be helpful to visualize its role when you understand the anatomy of it.

When people think of the “core,” they often think of the re**us abdominis (6-pack) and obliques. However, the core, in my opinion, also includes the diaphragm, ribcage, pelvis, pelvic floor, a myriad of lower back muscles, and possibly even the shoulder blades.

“The shoulder blades?!” For instance, changing how your shoulder blades sit on your back can impact how we create pressure in the ribcage and abdomen. Considering that the latissimus dorsi attaches to the arms and helps to create stability of the back, we could even include the arms.

So, I like to say that everything from the shoulders down to the hips is the “core.” I understand that anatomy textbooks and other professionals may disagree, but when teaching people how to learn how to manage and control their core pressure, we have to cue a lot more than just what is happening in our midsection.

Hope you enjoy!

F*** scammers. It can take 2 hours to make a silly little 20 second post like that. When it comes to the anatomy content we make, that can take 10 hours to hand paint and then film, then up to 1 hour to edit each video that gets posted. The stuff we make is real art, not AI.

I have no respect for people/companies that take our content and do not credit us. People share our content every single day and, most of the time, they tag us in the first line of the text. I am cool with that, and thank you for spreading the word.

However, when you take our content, don’t credit us, change it with AI to fit your needs, and manipulate a naive audience into thinking that you created the content and are selling passive treatments (supports, pillows, massage tools, mattresses, etc.) you are doing more harm than good for those people. Short-term solutions will not help you with long-term problems.

‼️ As a consumer of content, please take the time to look at a person’s/company’s account. If all of their posts are a mix of other people’s content that isn’t credited (or is), ignore their page and move on. They are likely exploiting you. Find the original creators and support them.

I do not endorse our content being used on any page selling short-term solutions. If you see our content on those pages, let us know so I can have the content removed. Some of these pages can have millions of followers. I have had several of them banned over the years.

Also, PS: IG and FB are trash for DMCA takedowns. They are quick to respond, but. YT has a system that automatically detects and removes copyrighted content for you without you having to do a damn thing.

Constantly tight hip flexors? Comment “Hip” and we will send you a free hip pain relief series with longer educational videos to help you overcome your hip pain.

Strengthen em, stretch em, stick em in a stew.

If your hip flexors always feel tight, and stretches aren’t helping them, then it’s time to strengthen them.

Some of these exercises will strengthen the hip flexors in a shortened position while others will strengthen them in a lengthened position. Do both!

The last exercise involves trying to slide the feet toward one another. This will turn on the hip flexor muscles while they are lengthened. It will both stretch and strengthen the hips.

Once severe pain is gone, the spine needs movement. Comment “Back” if you need more gentle work for your back pain. We will send you our free 5-step guide.

The first movement can be done with your arms on the floor to your sides, but then you start to work the muscles around the ribcage. With a weight pressed out in front of you and a more limited range of motion, your lower back starts to take the brunt of the work.

Extension is not something most people work on. Extension with lateral bending is definitely not something most people work on. Do it.

The pelvic tilt leg drop can be done in a smaller range of motion. You don’t need to tap the floor. This will passively extend the back and have you work on active flexion of the spine and use your abs.

The hips are intimately involved with the lower back. The 90/90 switch with a hinge helps to open up the hips and challenges your back at the same time.

Work on this stuff once a week and feel the gains!
