Thank you for this, Jeff. I will try it.
Maybe you can help me.
I had a core injury recently which prevented me from working the core for a few months (happened while doing leg presses on a machine that was too upright. I still don't know what exactly was injured, but it was extremely painful and debilitating) I've recently been able to resume core exercise, however about a week ago I was stretching my obliques, and I felt something like a strain, about where the right external oblique meets the ribs. It is a dull pain that exacerbates if I try to stretch the right side. I stopped core work to allow for recovery, and the pain has mostly gone away. Then last night while sleeping I went to turn and felt a prickly pain along the lower ribs (sometimes on both sides of the ribs when I sleep face up and stretch my rib cage. It feels superficial, akin to tearing a piece of paper very slowly.
I take it my core fascia is weak and tight after all those months of inactivity and it tears slightly every time I over stretch it, but I would like to hear your thoughts.
To summarize,
1)Are oblique injuries at the rib joint common? (I'm guessing it's the external oblique, seeing how it connects to the lower ribs)
2) Are fascia tears (what I THINK those prickly pains along the rib are) common during stretching and recovery and something I just need to go through on my road to recovery?

I'm dealing with some type of pinch and right side oblique is effected! At first when I first bent over to put pants on i would feel pain like something was dragging up in side my rib cage! Now it's gotten better but still get some type of tingly numb sensation! When I sit in the car to long my right lower back feels strained I think u call that a rhomboid! But when I get out it feels better when I'm straighten up! Something is out of balance please help me! This has been affecting my work n life for a month and a half n I find your videos very helpful! And only maybe this is part of the problem I know some times if I did a hard ab workout my right side of my abs would go into spasms and hard for me to straighten my stomach n stuck in a crunch gotta slowly stretch it out!

Jeff, i am having issues lately with my back. It seems when i do wide hand pushup for my back, i feel my scapula is grinding on my bones or smth and it hurts. i cant even do 1 rep cause when i lower myself it grinds and the pain is like smth gripping ur back. if u could make a video explaining what is the cause (that would be great ) or reply me bck here cause i dont want to compromise my workout and my months of training that i worked hard for. Thx jeff! Always a fan of your videos!

This is insane. stretching my abs out has helped me breathe better. I-ve been having shortness of breath lately and I had a feeling it was my abs, because of how much I-ve been sitting and how I-ve only really been warming up and activating my core when I do home workouts, with minimal stretching. I have a feeling my posture is going to get better the more I stretch my abs. This is crazy, taking in a deep breath I can feel how tight my abs were. I-m legit shocked LOL

Thanks Jeff! I am in the progress and i get the need to work on my abs and i see your video and great! great great great. getting closer to the right posture. releasing tension. I think that this is going to help me much in my workout to have better results. - Breathing into your balls- from Yo Elliott is the aim. spinal cord breathing from taoist Iron shirt chi kung is the goal. Jeff, your videos are magnific, i found you in my way and I appreciate you very much!

I regret not stretching my abs. For a couple months, I've been having unusual pains, cramps, and heavy discomfort in my abdominal region, and it led to me not being able to eat well, despite my abs not feeling all that tight. I had to go through the trouble of camera inserted through both ends to check my digestive system, but they were perfectly fine.
Eventually, my doctor suggested stretching out my abs & it just went away.
God damn.

Definitely going to do these. I've got spinal stenosis amongst other spinal problems but I'm sure a lot of my pain comes from tight abs. These stretches look exactly like what I've been looking for. When I massage my stomach to ease the pain, there's so many sore, tight and lumpy bits! It basically hurts from my sternum all the way into my sides and down to my pubic bone and pelvis. Thanks so much for the stretches here's hoping they help!

When I stand, breathing -with my stomach- becomes difficult and painful and when walking this becomes almost impossible. I have had this issue for at least two decades now and it is so bad that every time I walk or stand up, I automatically tighten my abs without thinking.
Will the stretching exercises shown in this video help me? or do I need some other exercise.
Also, due to this my stomach is always bloated as well.

Hi, i hv APT n am currently doin exercises to fix it. I realized i needed to stretch the lower abs n obliques to help me hv a proper posture wen i stand n walk. Am concerned abt one point: it feels as if stretchin lower abs n obliques increase APT n counter APT exercises? Is this true or is it just me? Is it safe to stretch lower abs n obliques while at the same time do APT exercises?
Pls advise. Many thanks.
