. Pay attention. Hello everyone, Dr. Rowe here at Spinecare in St Joseph Michigan, so he may be dealing with a

high

hip, a leg that may just sit. short or simply unbalanced pelvis, this technique is a very quick solution to help everyone and the best thing is that it does not require any special equipment, you can do it at home, possibly even at work. I would also say that this will help you between a chiropractic adjustment just to keep everything mobilized and moving and keep it level, so let's get started and get those hips back in line.

If you want to make sure this works for you, do a simple before and after. take your thumbs, sit sideways right here in the front, you'll find two big mounds, those are the iliac crest, when you look in a mirror, look at the position of your thumbs if you feel like it's tilted up, you know? It signals that it is not in balance and after doing this exercise, if it really levels out, it could help you. You can also take a spot right here on your back and feel like you're right in the small of your back, around the belt line.

You'll find two large mounds that do the same thing, you just feel if one is tilted up and at that point, after doing this exercise, if you feel like it's more balanced, it's probably working for you, so we'll do an isometric exercise. Just lie down on a surface on the floor of the bed and what you need is a long, sturdy stick. I'm using a beat up old broomstick. Here you can use a stick from a toilet plunger if you don't have any of those. go out into the yard and just grab one, but you just want to make sure it's sturdy and doesn't break while you're doing this, so bend your knees like this and lift one knee up towards you, slowly slide the stick between your legs so it's supported by the bottom leg at the top of the knee and then below the knee.

Here what I'm going to do with this is I'm just going to lift my legs up and then this bottom leg is going to come towards me while the top leg is moving. away from me at the same time and what this does is create an isometric exercise in the pelvis and hips, so when you do this just go to your comfort level, hold this for about 5 to 10

seconds

, relax and then repeat it five Sometimes you may hear a popping or cracking sound in your hips, pelvis, maybe even your lower back, which is completely normal; However, if this causes you discomfort, stop immediately, so when we're done just switch to the other side and I'm going to do the same thing for five to ten seconds, hold, relax, repeat five times and the next part is very important, so What I'm going to do is take my fists, I'm going to put them together.

I'm going to lift my legs like this, I'm going to put my fist between my knees and I'm going to bring my knees together and then I'm just going to squeeze this will probably make your joints yeah. pop crack or

release and usually feels pretty good. I hold this for about five seconds, relax and then repeat it five times as well, so if you have persistent problems with a leg feeling short or your pelvic hips not staying in. balance, let's focus on the next exercise that will target the muscles around that area, strengthen them and you may find that your chiropractic adjustments last longer or you may just have less problems with your hips, so this strengthening exercise is incredibly easy to do .

To use a yoga block for demonstration purposes, you don't need one, just use a ladder. Instead, I'll have it demonstrated with my cane as well because it will help you with posture if you don't want to use the cane alone. Use the side of the wall to help maintain balance. You may find it a little easier, so before you begin, make sure your hips and pelvis are in the best possible position. Make sure you don't have any anterior tilt while doing this. This then, what I'm going to do is I'm going to step up to the top of my block right here with one foot and the other foot is going to go to the side or if you're using a ladder, it would just be the opposite again, if you need to help you keep your balance. using a wall, do that too.

What I'm going to do is start slowly lowering the opposite leg, I should say the leg that's off that block or the ladder down slowly, I want to try to keep my legs as straight as possible, just go to your comfort level. You will feel a very good stretch from your pelvis to your hips and also your lower back once you get to a point where it is a very good stretch. one for about five to ten seconds slowly go back and go up as much as you can and with this one again hold that one for about 5 to 10 seconds repeat this very very slowly up to 10 times this is going to work all the muscles of the pelvis around the joint if around the hips and also in the lower back, mainly the quadratus lumborum, if you're really interested in checking it out, definitely look at it, it's called ql or quadratus lumborum, all of them together.

It helps balance your hips and pelvis, so once you're done with that, just switch to the other side and then do the same. Make sure you do both sides to keep your muscles balanced, otherwise it's like going to the gym and just lifting with one arm would look funny after a while, so give them a try. I hope they especially help you maintain your hips between chiropractic adjustments. If you liked the video and it gave you a lot of relief, please show it.
