Video 1 of 4 - "Sports Ball" Release of Buttocks - BOTH SIDES

Here's what we are going to do:

A. Sports Ball Release & B. Stretch and Assess - Reclined Hip Stretch & C. Stretch and Assess - Seated Hip Stretch

Using various sports balls of various sizes to see what works best for you, do the tennis-ball-press technique with whatever ball you deem the best.

Go through all the muscles in your hips, on both sides, top to bottom and release everything you find that is tight.

Do the Reclined Hip Stretch and notice where the tension is when you do this specific stretch. You may find it high up in your hips or down near the bottom of your tailbone, or anywhere else. Wherever you do still happen to find tight tissue when doing the stretch, take out whatever sports ball you choose and to the tennis-ball-press technique on that area. And then repeat this process on any other tight spots you can find doing the Reclined Hip Stretch.

Do this entire process with the Seated Hip Stretch.

And lastly, repeat this entire process with the Seated Crossed Legs Stretch.

The point of this entire "stretch and assess" is for you to be an investigator to find the tight tissue in your own pelvis. Every body is unique and the way you as an individual use your body is unique. So, while you'll have a great deal of tension where everyone else has it, you may be hiding some tension in different places that I want you to locate and release. Releasing any inappropriate tension in your body will only help your body.

Video 2 of 4 - Release The Front Of Your Back

Here's what we're going to do:

Lower back and buttock pain can often be caused by the muscles on the front of your spine and pelvis being tight. So, we're going to make sure they are not inappropriately tight.

Your iliacus and your psoas are the two muscle groups we'll be targeting. The Press-Hold-Move Technique and the very helpful Hand-On-Hand Technique are a great way to release these two big, powerful, very important muscles groups.

Definitely review the video to see how this is done properly.

Video 3 of 4 - Hamstring Release and Hamstring Stretch

So here's what we're going to do:

A. Softball Press Hamstring Release -

With the weight of your leg pressing a softball into your hamstring, use the press-hold-move technique to release any tight/painful/tender tissue you find.

Just like the "stretch and assess" process like we did in Video 1, you want to be a bit of an investigator when it comes to finding tight tissue. Take a few minutes and try out different areas all along your hamstrings to discover where you may be hiding tight tissue. Don't just go up the middle of the back of your leg. While still on the back of your leg, move to the inside or outside a bit and see what you discover! It will only help.

B. Hamstring Stretch -

As the pictures here depict, doing this hamstring stretch is quite simple, and the great news is that it's also highly effective at releasing your hamstrings.

Always keep your legs as straight as possible.

Always flex your quadriceps as hard as you can when you do this stretch.

You will see pretty rapid improvement if you do this stretch regularly. You can do this multiple times a day if you like. Do a morning, afternoon, and evening session if you'd like and you'll be amazed at the progress you make. Or just do one or two reps throughout the day whenever you have a moment. A little bit is better than none at all, so "don't let the perfect, be the enemy of the good".

Video 4 of 4 - Tennis Ball Release of Lower Back and Tailbone

Here's what we're going to do:

A. Inner Spinal Muscle Release -
B. Outer Spinal Muscle Release -
C. Tailbone Release -
D. Outer Side of Hip (tensor fascia latae)

For all of the above areas you will do the tennis-ball-press technique.

So you will basically press into the tissue in these areas with your bodyweight onto a tennis ball. When you find a tight/painful/tender area then you will motion your leg up or down, twist your leg, or move your leg in any manner that will get the tissue you are pressing the ball into to move.

As you force the tissue to move under the pressure of the ball it should begin to release.

Be patient and persistent and you'll be able to get a lot of good work done in these areas with this technique.
