I have a question.. why if the foot is searching for stability ( 2:09) might indicate in the stance leg gluteus maximum inhibition?
NKT has allowed me to unravel a lot of complex cases and treat injuries faster and with sustainable improvements (not just kicking the can down the road another 5 steps). If you’ve ever wondered why some muscles are always getting tight and dysfunctional this is a great tool to unravel the reason why. Check it out, if you have an inquiring mind you won’t be disappointed.
I had my posterior tibial tendon reconstructed, two months out and this still hurts
I got TDQ’D at maps for this bullshit I gotta go back and do the balance test over
I did these for the first time while in PT. I had 80% of my posterior horn removed and have a partial ACL tear that was not addressed. I’m 9 weeks out from surgery and find this exercise very very hard to do. I trust and pray that doing this exercise will help me and not damage the knee.
This is great, very detailed. Thank you for making this accessible.
Are you a PT? Physiatrist?
On a side note, an option that has helped me put on shoes (outside of assessment) is to 1.engage core, 2. rest my back or lay arm against the wall if needed, 3 lift my leg so that it makes a figure 4. This way, I can I minimize back flexion. An OT taught me
If you don’t mind, what kind of exercise & diet routines do you follow? Do you have a favorite full range of core exercise?
Thanks a lot for giving reply to me being your busy….. Distal femur they inserted plate having with 10 Screws…..
nooo! You didn’t adress whats wrong if you’r stance leg automatically rotates outward(My problem is that when I stand on my right leg my upper body automatically rotates to the left(leg to the right))
Ive been looking so long for the answer of wich musles I have to stretch/strengthen in my case. Does anyone know what I have to do?
Where did you get the 20 second an 40 second break point? Is it on a specific article that says that?
When I do this my foot is constantly moving trying to find stability. I’ve sprained my ankles a lot in the past could this be why? Idk how to do this without shaking or moving?
WOW, unbelivable that results are visible at the moment. Good job mr. David
Great video! Any suggestions on how to strengthen the glute medius?
Bro i can move my left leg faster..and it feels light….but i can’t easily rotate/lift my right leg and my whole weight goes to my right leg..im a soccer player…can you give me some advice for fixing this?
My IT band..ankle last three toes knee n lateral hip of one side(just falls off like it finds my leg heavy) all hurt n would like to build to this.. could u recommend which of ur videos to start from n should I do this with support for the weak side n do more reps to make it strong
This is a very good assessment to identify imbalances! I’ve found that when I stand on left leg with foot pointing straight my torso and pelvis rotates to the right. My left foot is actually outward rotated the most of the time also when I walk. Which muscle should I strength to align it forward and stabilize my torso and pelvis while standing on one leg?

Hi,
Do you have a recommendation to do like every exercise in x amount of reps in x amount of rounds? I will be a pure beginner though.
