Sure thing, Stephanie! I hope the exercises in this video are helpful. Sorry to hear both of your feet are giving you trouble.

The video is above the text.

You’re welcome!

Yes, I link the iliopsoas muscle with the gluteus maximus as the primary agonist/antagonist pair. Having said this, you could also put the hamstrings in as an antagonist to the hip flexors due to their hip extension action.

Hey Stephanie! If you don’t have a partner who can help, you can get the Nordic home exercise tool below.

I would feel it out and see what works best for you. In a lot of cases, it works well to do the stretch before and after the strengthening exercise.

It’s tough to give a one size fits all recommendation as it depends on what symptoms the person has and what impairments exist. In most cases, I will focus on flexibility and mobility exercises when a range of motion impairment exists. In some scenarios, I will use these exercises to treat pain even when a range of motion deficit isn’t present. Toward the later stages of rehab, most of the exercises I am giving people are focused on developing motor control and strength. Phase 3 of each program is setup this way. I may still recommend some mobility or flexibility exercises in the later stages of rehab if they seem to be particularly helpful for a given individual.

I’ll take a look this weekend and see what I can find.

Thanks for watching, Brandon!
