The legs ,the foundation of our body.

Let’s understand how to keep our legs healthy and strong and work towards it!

Our lower portion of our body, lower extremity that is our legs are a foundation of our body that transfers its gravity load to the earth as well as there is resistance from earth too. As a bipedal and vertical structure with the support of horizontal feet ( like plinths) with multiple bones and joints.

The role of legs is as important as a foundation  in locomotion for physical stability in any static or dynamic movements.

Take an example of building where the foundation bears the load of the entire structure and keeps it even. It should be able to bear live load as well as dead load to avoid cracking or buckling. In case the foundation malfunctions or fails at any point, the building might become unstable or even collapse.

All animals move their body forward with legs horizontal to the ground for locomotion.Thus, gravity is their friend, and ours is not. For us, we have to lift our body against gravity from our legs vertically to the ground as well as move forward. So, the backside force towards gravity with a rotating pelvis upward and creating anti-gravitational force from the front side with a rotating shoulder girdle backward for balancing on the foundation of legs is essential – antiversion of pelvic girdle and retro version of shoulder girdle. Note that there is tremendous pressure on our motor system to keep us physically stable vertically through the voluntary muscular architecture in both static and dynamic poses. Therefore, for us as human beings, how we use and improve our body mechanism intellectually matters a lot instead of using its automation harshly.

Our Feet are always on the ground, when we sit on the ground or chair or stand or walk as we are grounded on moving earth. When we stand and sit and walk on our feet, the feet on the ground in horizontal planes and leg bones are perpendicular or vertical at ankle joint that is at 90 angles. This extended position of feet is dorsiflexion as this position is from before birth in the mother’s womb, where all other joints are in flex position except the foot. Infants are born with extended feet. Otherwise, if they are not, then it is considered as a birth defect.

The foot constitutes a functional role that participates in postural control and regulation mechanisms. It represents the direct interface between the body and the ground during quiet sitting, standing, and walking. In this context, the foot behaves like a sensory system for postural regulation whose objective is to maintain a state of physical stability within to modify toward a particular course of action.
The sole of the foot has mechano- receptors that provide tactile input from the sole of the foot. The unique patterns of vibration, slip, pressure, and stretch provide valuable information regarding the interface of the foot with the environment.

In any pose static or dynamic where postural control requires constant physical stability and subconscious postural sway to manage balance to achieve postural stability. Motor control, timing, and executive function affect the ability to physically stabilize effectively in a pose or any performing tasks. Thus, our motor system has tremendous consistent pressure of contract musculature to make us physically stable in both static and dynamic poses. Therefore our aim should be how to make us physically stable in a movement.

To hold our body against gravity and transfer the skeleton weight from head towards feet and  with resistance of ground from below – from feet  towards head. For balancing vertically againest gravity vertically upward adjustment of right side with left side with rotational movement of spinal coloum with head is very skilled and crucial work of our muscular architecture.

Foot is all the time in the ground . The movement of the foot get transferred towards the rotational movement of the central axis. This spiral movement is transferring upward direction. Therefore we should not allow it to move downward. But that is exactly happening more in today’s lifestyle. Thus we are sinking downward droping both girdles downward and shinking towards center.

The weight of our skeleton is transferred through the following pathway:

Head → Vertebrae (cervical, thoracic, lumbar) → Sacrum → Hip joints → Femur (thigh bone) → Knee joints → Tibia and fibula (shin bones) → Ankle joints → Feet.

This pathway is known as the “weight-bearing chain” or “mechanical chain”. It’s a complex system that distributes the weight of our body through muscular architecture and allows us to sleep, to sit, to bend, stand, walk, and move around. Each joint and bone plays a crucial role in supporting and transmitting and bearing the weight, and any imbalance or issue in this chain due to the state of muscular tissues can lead to problems like neck and back pain, hip and knee pain, foot pain, rather than just any joint pain, or difficulty walking, which affects overall health and well-being. These are mechanical deformities leading towards wear and tear and injuries or degenaration which is commonly known as Osteo – athrities that is  end result .

Arches of the feet and its role and importance:

The weight transmission of our body  from head to feet is always from each long axis of bones. Thus, arches of foot shape are designed in a similar manner to spring that bears equal distribution of the weight of the body. Arches of the foot absorb the shock that is produced with locomotion and resistance below ground. Arches play a crucial role in dampening and absorbing the shocks and vibrations generated by the uneven surfaces of the road. This enhances walking comfort with physical stability. The metabolic energy saved by the arch supplies the passive-elastic work that would otherwise be done by active muscle force.

When standing, the weight of the body is especially distributed among these three points.
Tuberosity of calcaneus receives most of the weight and is known as “Kurcha marma.”

The secondary weight bearing point is the head of the first metatarsal – big toe and also known as “Shipra marma.” These marma promote visual activity  and help to control the muscular system of the body. In particular, it helps control the muscles of the foot and bodily posture.

The third point is the head of the fifth metatarsal, which supports the least weight and is known as “Kurcha shira.” As marma is related to lifeforce, so marma mainly deals with Vata that is with movement and is associated with vata dosha.

“Talahriday” marma  is located in the middle of the sole on the line of the middle toe.

Though all the elements comprise a marma, i.e., sira (blood vessels), snayu (ligaments), asthi (bones) and sandhi (joints) are all present in the site of this Marma, it is predominant in the Mamsa dhatu or muscle tissue, therefore it is a Mamsa Marma.

When “Talahridaya” marma gets damaged, the effect of injury will chiefly involve the muscles present in the area in comparison to the extent of damage caused to other tissues. Pain in this region of “Talahridaya” Marma can cause serious pain. If the pain is not regressing or progressing, it gives a clue that the permanent damage, crippling and loss of activity is on cards in the near future.

The arch has a unique feature – “A special feature of the arch is that it never sleeps”.
It remains constantly active, never sleeping. To maintain the integrity of the arches, it is essential to keep the sole muscles expanded vertically and horizontally, particularly the three vital points or ‘marmas’ – Shipra, Kurch, and Kurchshira. These marmas play a crucial role in controlling foot muscles, posture, digestion, visual activity, and reproductive function etc. Additionally, keeping the Talhruday expanded is vital. By doing so, the arch will remain strong and never collapse or ‘sleep’.

Here I want to refer to some  pathways of Nadis in the human body, as described in ancient Indian yogic and Ayurvedic texts. Nadis are subtle energy channels that crisscross the body, facilitating the flow of life-force energy (Prana).

1. Hastijihva Nadi,हस्तिजिव्हा : Runs from the eyes to the opposite big toe, connecting the third eye (Ajna Chakra) to the root chakra (Muladhara). This Nadi is associated with intuition, insight, and balance.
2. Gandhari Nadi, गांधारी : Also runs from the eyes to the opposite big toe, but is associated with the throat chakra (Vishuddha) and the root chakra. This Nadi is linked to communication, self-expression, and creativity.
3. Pusha Nadi, पुषा : Connects the ears to the same-side big toe, associated with the crown chakra (Sahasrara) and the root chakra. This Nadi is said to facilitate spiritual growth, awareness, and higher states of consciousness.
4. Yashasvini Nadi , यशस्विनी : Runs from the ears to the same-side big toe, similar to Pusha Nadi. This Nadi is associated with the heart chakra (Anahata) and is said to promote emotional balance, compassion, and self-love.
5. Saraswati Nadi , सरस्वती : Located at the tip of the tongue, this Nadi is associated with the throat chakra and is said to facilitate clear communication, creativity, and spiritual growth.

These Nadis are not physical channels but rather subtle pathways that facilitate the flow of Prana. Practicing yoga, meditation, and other spiritual disciplines can help balance and harmonize the flow of energy in these Nadis, leading to physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Our muscular architecture is connected from foot to head and It is a complex job of our muscular architecture to balance the body on our feet with a combination of multiple joints moving together in both static and dynamic movements , such as sitting, standing and walking etc. upright and doing multiple things.

So this is most important that these multiple joints should move together in a specific direction through the movement of voluntary muscles which have their own ancient memory.

Dos and Don’t –We, as a biped, spend a fair amount of time upright on two feet . Those feet do more than just hold us up.
*No hyper extension and flexion at the knee and hips.
*Not to abuse the knee by pressing. Or pushing the thigh on the legs.
*Repetitive movement of the knee joint will lead to wear and tear, which is the process of degeneration early. Joints are only to change the direction in agulation.Increase the range of movement of muscles and instead of making them more and more stiff.
*Foot – Our feet are the only parts of our body covered with smooth skin surface without hairs or projections.  It has a very high density of nerve endings. our feet must withstand up to seven times our body weight worth of force every time we make contact with the ground. However, due to the composition and arrangement of ligaments, tendons, and muscles, much of that force is stored and returned to the ground. This propels us to move  forward.

Choosing footwear :-
Choose a shoe with a firm foundation. As  shoes ground the body like the foundation of a house. The shoe or chappal should feel immediately comfortable and fit well from the first wear. It should be wide enough and long enough to fit your feet.The ball of your foot should not feel compressed.The shoe should feel cosy, easy and comfortable, and restful but not tight.
While choosing, walk around in the shoes to determine how they feel.

Is there enough room at the balls of the feet?

Do the heels fit snugly, or do they pinch or slip off?

Don’t rationalize that the shoes just need to be “worn in.”
Examine the soles.

Are they sturdy enough to provide protection from sharp objects?

Do they provide any cushioning? Take note of how they feel as you walk around the shoe store.

Try to walk on hard surfaces as well as carpet to see how the shoe feels on both.

*Heels  – Choose a flat surface and not with heels, in which along with heels the musculature of the back gets lifted towards the head and the flow of muscles gets shortened and stiffer towards the head Which imbalances gravity and antigravitational force. Which in a process leads to lower back ,knee, and foot pain.
Constricted Blood Vessels ,Spinal Curve Changes ,Weekend Ligaments , Ankle sprains lead to osteo arthritis and related diseases.
*Do not use insoles. There should not be any artificial arch support that affects natural spring-like movement of muscles .The soles of the feet are extremely sensitive to touch due to a high concentration of nerve endings, with as many as 200,000 per sole.Our brains are constantly receiving signals from nerve endings in the soles of our feet. In a fraction of a second, the brain can notice small changes in our posture and cause the foot and leg muscles to change the way we are standing.  The foot is a complex mechanical structure composed of 26 bones and 33 joints, 112 ligaments, and 29 muscles  that all work together to bear weight, allow for locomotion, and transmit force. Prevent shock generated every time they strike the ground from damaging our body, so we can take each step and absorb shock. It balances the entire body weight at different angles and positions. Insoles are dead support  that obstructs free movement of muscles and joints. Muscular movement is most important.
Bare foot walk : The feet constitute an important sensory structure in the mechanisms of postural control. As a direct and often only interface between the body and the ground, the feet allow us to sense and interact with our environment. Sensory information provided by muscle and cutaneous afferents in the foot contribute to our ability to stand upright, and postural sway is necessary to detect both position and motion of the body in space – Proprioception.

Thus bare foot is natural, and it also helps the children understand spatial awareness. It was said that feet are the most nerve-rich part of the human body,which means they contribute to the connection of neurological pathways in the brain! This is why some kids prefer walking barefoot on the carpet floor. or if it’s cold with socks.

* Today at last researchers are talking benefits of barefoot and now also barefoot shows are available.
*Potential benefits of wearing barefoot shoes include a decreased risk of developing plantar fasciitis, a more natural gait, less joint stress, and improved balance and posture. Barefoot walking and running is not recommended for individuals with diabetic neuropathy or foot problems such as bunions or hammer toes.

The role of the leg is to keep us grounded as well as  for locomotion. Here, the circular motion of our legs is converted into the linear motion of our body. Our vertical walking is exactly the way the infant slides forward on the ground on the belly, stomach with movement of opposite hand and foot, like a reptilian way, sliding the stomach horizontal on the ground with opposite movement from the forearm and big toe. This is the most vital stage of infants for the development of neural pathways of the nervous system. Here begins movement of the central axis with latticing movement of the torso like a wave pattern .Once infants stand and walk, the natural skill of our voluntary muscular architecture goes into automation. Defensive mechanism takes over and it gets stuck into reflexes where movement or pull of muscle force is towards the centre. As we have not learned this natural ancient art or the skill of movements consciously and intellectually, we have lost and forgotten thus  instead of evolution we are leading fast towards devolution.

Our beautifully designed muscular architecture, which is voluntary by nature that is under our own conscious will and command. These muscles have ancient memory inbibed or stored in our ancient brain in a coded form, which the infant unwinds systematically. Hence we should not obstruct them while handing as well as in any exposure they should not skip. These natural movements have a sequential order with specific direction with synchronised flow of movement of muscles where joints are only for changing the direction with the same flow. These muscular movements are like strings moving in one direction only, so movement in all joints are like pulleys moving  in the same direction simultaneously in a synchronised manner. Our human walk is from the alternate movement of the foot for the hammock movement of the pelvis for vertical and rotational movement of the spinal column with movement of the head.

Note down our walk is not putting alternate legs from the torso such as the walk on the treadmill or Walker. Walking is our beings natural behaviour pattern. But due to automation and reflex actions and modified  physical activities without improvement we have lost and forgotten our natural ancient skill of art. Thus what we experience in today’s lifestyle even  walking as an exercise does not improve our walking skills, it exerts and brings more stress on muscles .So called walking brings more pressure on the musculoskeletal structure and surrounding tissues and thus more working load in all organ systems situated within the body where the body mechanism  can’t cope up.

In our day to day activities, as we have lost and forgotten our natural behaviour patterns of muscular architecture as they get adapted the way we use. Thus this is the basic and main cause of anatomical distortion in our musculoskeletal structure as well as soft tissues. These distorted spaces within our body are leading us towards faulty mechanism i.e. osteoarthritis which simultaneously slows down physiological functions of organ systems that further leads to permanent pathological changes in tissues thus suffering with many more health problems.Better to be aware of natural skills and improve if you want to enhance.

Therefore before adapting higher skills such as writings, dancing or any sports or rather than any type of art and performance, it is essential to improve and enhance our natural physical behaviour skill to cope up with today’s modern lifestyle. Isn’t it so?

We should be aware as early as possible and  observe our own body seriously and  keenly to improve and prevent damage.

How do you stand? How do you sit ?How do you walk ?

In today’s modern and fast lifestyle, it is most important to understand the difference between the natural and unnatural state of our beings to improvise and enhance further.

Let’s understand some principles behind it. We should learn the principle to make this human physical structure physically  stable.

1) Triangle is the most stable structure with minimum vectors.We have two legs and a third vector, which is the distance between two legs i.e  mother earth. We stand and walk, forming triangles .The support area and its proper adjustment are essential. Otherwise, the body keeps compensating the wrong way.

 2) Equal distribution of weight on our feet is transferred from head to each vertebra from spinal column to both sides of the sacrum towards knees ,ankles, and feet.  For this, we have  given arches of feet, which  bear this weight and act like a spring. Elastic property of our beautifully designed muscular architecture is most vital. If muscles are stiff, then muscles themselves can’t bear the skeleton structure, and structure itself can’t bear the dead weight of stiff muscles , thus, they collapse.

3) Such as building or vertical structure collapses outward to make us physically stable, the vertical body collapses outward, exactly the way the vertical structure collapses. For example bow legs or knock knees , legs turned outward or foot collapse outward with collapsed arches, such as medial arch drop or flat feet,  hip size widens and  body keeps compensating many ways for its own defense to make it physically stable in both static and dynamic poses.

4) To make it a physically stable and defensive mechanism that is  reflex actions in all these  process, voluntary musculature permanently remain in contraction state , one of the reason that they become stiff and hard . Hence, they lose their most important qualities, which are elasticity and extensibility. As this continues the process, they become hard permanently. Because contraction is a strong passive force for any stimulation, a reflex and defence mechanism of our body. Tight and stiff muscles are unhealthy, so they lose their natural quality and skill. Hence, always hold us back as age advances.

5) In any pose static or dynamic motion, the role of voluntary musculature is to stabilize the structure physically along with movement.Where body weight and muscular movements transfer from foot to head and head to foot.

Imagine stiffness or hardness brings tremendous additional pressure on the musculoskeletal system to hold and stabilize this frame as well as motor system, which doesn’t make a difference how fat or thin we are.

6) Therefore, elasticity and extensibility of muscles are the most important quality of muscles for their own smooth movement of contraction, which is known as  muscle tone. Thus, elastic and expansion property of muscles that is ideal strength of the muscles to hold this vertical structure physically stable. This  will bring ease in muscular architecture to hold skeleton structure without giving load and pressure to organs situated inside to work them harmoniously.

7) In any physical activity ,  muscular pull is towards the centre as this is reflex and defensive action where inner body cavities ( vertibral with skull cavity, chest and abdominal pelvic cavities) are compressing which increases pressure inside the body, giving more physical obstruction on organ systems and more stress on their physiological function. Simultaneously, this excess load and stress get transferred to bones, ligaments, and joints. Simultaneously, organs situated inside this muscular wall have to bear load to hold the structure physically stable along with their own functional role.

8) Role of Sympathetic and Parasympathetic systems – Constant load or pressure on the sympathetic nervous system where it activates to speed up  heart rate, deliver more blood to areas of the  body that need more oxygen or other responses to help to get out of stressful situations and danger. Thus, this  sympathetic system controls “fight-or-flight” responses  In other words, this system prepares the body for strenuous physical activity. The events that we would expect to occur within the body to allow this to happen do, in fact, occur. Today’s lifestyle People are in constant stressful situations, mainly which is acquired. Whereas the parasympathetic nervous system can not cope up and thus resting poses such as sleep and sitting get disturbed and people suffer.The parasympathetic system predominates in quiet regulated “rest and digest” functions. The main purpose of the PNS is to conserve energy to be used later and to regulate bodily functions like digestion and urination.

Note that the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS )is a vital part of your body’s key functions. When it doesn’t work properly, you can face several bodily dysfunctions that affect your health. If you think you may be having trouble with one of your body’s parasympathetic nervous system functions. Be aware, and prevention is always better.

The body whispers and gives many signs and symptoms like uneasiness, discomfort and pain, etc. mainly in static poses or resting poses, which get ignored easily because once they wake up distraction starts and the movement of the body, they may feel better. Today, at an early age, sleep disorder is getting more and more common where hyper activities and attention deficit is increasing.

How do you walk?

Are you putting your legs from your torso and doing movements of your hands ?

Or are you moving your torso from alternate legs with hammock movement of pelvis synchronised movement of shoulder girdle with rotational movement of spinal column with alternate hands?

All animal locomotion movements begin from extremities to slide forward. The same is true with our beings, which is the movement of legs converted into the linear motion of the body forward.

The lower extremity is  directly connected with the pelvis to the spinal column (central axis). Thus the hammock movement of the pelvis at the hip joint with alternate rotational movement of the thigh and movement of leg with foot at ankle joint for extended rotational movement of vertibral column like upside down pendulam with movement of head moving like a radar. Our body is beautifully designed by muscular architecture with synchronised movement of inner organ systems, an incredible higher level of  living being.

Our spinal column with head is an inverted pendulum on our legs. The stability and mobility of this inverted pendulum is a very important factors in our bipedal structure.

Note while walking, It’s not only about hip flexors but all flexors that are dominant by nature are our bodies  main culprit but along with that we have lost our ancient movement of muscles which child unwinds ( if we do not disturb them but today people do not allow babies to unwind on their own because of wrong handaling)This is the reason why we are not extended erect as a biped species. This ,we as intellectual species, must learn.

Yoga has given the most importance to physical stability to get stillness of mind. but if you are making the same mistake of using anatomical movements that are described by modern science while performing postures and going from one pose to another, which will not allow you to be physically and mentally stable.

“Asan” is only related to the position of the spinal column, and its physical stability is only through the lower extremity and  movement with the upper extremity. Hands are not meant for standing because the shoulder joint glunoid is shallow, and the cavity is not stable. The shape of the thigh bone  has a tor for spiral movement to bring strength in stability to the vertical column. Otherwise, the thigh bone would have stuck in between pressure from above and below gravity and crushed.

In walking alternate movement of foot at ankle joint with synchronise movement of pelvis with alternate movement of things at hip joint further this transfers through sacrum to spinal column like inverted pendulum with synchronise movement of each consecutive vertebrae, where central axis  must remain stable with vertical and rotational movement of axis with synchronise movement of head with first and second Cervical vertebrae.

  One must learn step by step consciously and intellectually to improvise and then enhance each asana to achieve the state of “Stheryam arogyam anghalaghavam” and further to “Sthira Sukham asanam”.

In each asan there automatically happens to  change in breathing, one has to concentrate on that is ” dharana” and to be one of it is “pranayam”, which is the highest level of physiology to achieve.

Here in any asan flow of movement of muscular architecture is exactly what an infant unwinds and  that we have to learn i.e move the central axis with latticing movement of torso from hand and legs  i.e from periphery, further adjusting center of gravity and sit,stand and walk. But here is the direction of effort that has to be in the right direction won’t be easy but not difficult to succeed.

We have to learn the natural skills of behavioral pattern of muscles consciously and intellectually in modifications of asana step by step to get flow of movement of muscles to bring easiness to evolve as a bipedal and further superhuman poses such as meditative poses to reach a higher level of spirituality to become genetic and natural . Do you know ? that meditative poses are actually walking stances. 

Our walk itself is complicated. Movement starts from the alternate foot and transfers towards the head vertically upward from the front side from the shoulder girdle for movement of the head  and backwards down from the hip girdle towards the opposite foot. It is exactly like a pulley or wheel with synchronized and simultaneous movement with the flow of muscles. Backside  gravitational force toward heel and front side anti gravitational force towards head and to balance this forces there is clock and anticlockwise movement of spinal column from the Shoulder girdle and adjusting and guiding from head and that should not get adjusted wrongly.

Observe and note , surrounding  hip muscles i.e attached from  torso to hip and leg to hip and superficial to deeper level which are  our rear wheels, through which our body gets stable and moves They control balance, our ability to sit, stand, twist, reach, forward ,backward , walk and step up and down.. Our upper extremity creates anti gravitational force along with rotational movement of the spine. Head is  like a radar that guides and adjusts also.

    Many people don’t realize that the root cause of some of their pain and other health problems are the extension ratio of the leg – hip – spinal column.
The impact of the hips on the whole body. One must understand the magnitude of the problem.

While treating people observed their stiff or locked hip and shoulder girdles, even if some who are flexible in the joints for them, it’s more difficult as going into pose is easier.

Ours is a vertical structure on moving earth,which is moving around the own axis along around the sun. There is force within us which makes us stable but which is very weak..

This contributes to the following problems:

    Again, everything goes and  flows through the hips from toe to head and head to toe , balancing with the right and left side of the body. The impact the hips have on the whole body is,
they help to support the strength and health of  entire vertebral axis and body.

 Muscles Which do strong  flexion, which is the dominant force in our body, they  don’t allow us to extend ourselves from ankle-knee -hip-spine and head ratio. This extension ratio is very important to make us stable ideally. So the  front muscles, that is  anterior torso muscles are very strong flexors hence their tendency is to drop down or  sink downward only.Therefore through the  shoulder girdle and head , we have to learn how to lift the front body  from the hip and knee to  create an anti gravitational force. 

The lower extremity, Hamstrings along with the Adductor group of muscles and posterior leg muscles/calf muscles are very strong flexors; these  don’t allow the anterior extensor muscles/ quadricep group to work and lift the body against the ground. 

For the movement of the pelvic girdle, the movement of muscles from the torso to the pelvic girdle is essential, along with the free movement of muscles of lower extremity.

One must understand first that flexors are the most dominant force and defensive also ,they never  allow us to extend upright. We have to remove the dominance of flexors and learn how to extend vertically erect.

 Equilibrium or neutral position and elastic property of muscles from front,back,right,left, and superficial movers to deep gate muscles is an essential factor. They are voluntary, and our aim should be to bring back their voluntariness .

 If you understand some basic principles, then you will get the answer to why different types of exercises don’t guarantee to prevent diseases and lead us towards free bodies and good health. 

It doesn’t make any difference what exercise we do or which yoga  method we follow. What exactly do we do and  make efforts through our voluntary muscles for balancing inner space with outer space. This is the basic principle in the human body. 

Ignorance of your hip  contributes to the following problems: Remember it is the process by which the body gives small small hints like uneasiness to further,it can lead to a host of problems, even in seemingly healthy and active individuals.

Some are maintained below —–

*Foot and calf spasms, hamstrings, or groin pain 

*Pressure on foot. Pressure on your hips while sitting , standing for a longer time.
*Nagging joint pain in the legs, lower back, or hips .

*Stiff ankle ,knee, and associated pain.
*Walking with discomfort and lateral rotation of thighs and hips.
*Hips locking up ( lateral rotation of thigh and compressing hips
*Bad posture ( flexible people not aware)
“Trouble sleeping and morning pain which may subside after movement.
*Sluggishness in day to day life
*High anxiety, mood swings, and Depression
*Muscle shortening exercises.

*Reduction of intervertebral space, degeneration of spine,slip disc 

*Constipation , piles ,fissure,and herniated stomach.

Indigestion ,irritable bowel syndrome, etc

*Ladies Menstrual and uterus related problems

In male reproductive organ related problems

*Blotting,water retention.

*Kidney and gall bladder stones and related problems.

*Pancreatitis ,diabetics

And many more etc 

Therefore, remember that  everything that goes through our hips and our whole body is connected within.

   Do you find it surprising that all these problems and many more health issues are simply caused by these tight and stiff muscles that get lost in their natural skills.

Many people suffer from tight or locked hip muscles , as we  sit, stand and walk for hours each day, but few realize the impact on your whole body but do not know what exact efforts to do.

Work on muscles properly, not on joints in the  body that you might not be aware of.
It affects you, no matter how active or sedentary you are, or how old or young you are.
Everything goes through the hips.You see, our musculature of hips  is the engine through which our bodies move. They control balance, our ability to sit, stand, twist, reach, bend, walk, and step.

When the hip flexors and extensors are  tightened, it can lead to a host of problems, even in seemingly healthy and active individuals.

Before I reveal how loads of people end up having tight, stiff, and hard  hip flexors and extensors , yet never realize it.

And if it’s not kept in good condition, which is not easy, it affects not only our physical body but also its physiology and psychology.

One has to learn a systematic, step-by-step program designed for lower extremities with pelvic girdles and unlock the hidden power in our body.

You might be surprised to learn…
it’s not only tight, but it is about stiff and hard hip flexors. Which restricts rotational movement of both girdle pelvic and shoulder. They are strong as flexers.We have to make them elastic and expand.

You see, our hip flexors are the engine through which our bodies move. They control balance, our ability to sit, stand, twist, reach, bend, walk, and step.

Everything goes through the hips.
When the hip flexors tighten, it can lead to a host of problems, even in seemingly healthy and active individuals.

Before I reveal how loads of people end up having very stiff hip flexors yet and never realize it. It is not about loosening your hip flexors. But learn with us to unlock the hidden power in your body

In a moment, I’ll reveal to you a systematic, step-by-step program designed to loosen your hip flexors and unlock the hidden power in your body.

But first, let me explain just how deep-rooted the problem is.


HOW TIGHT HIPS CAN HOLD YOU BACK…
Many people don’t realize that the root cause of some of their pain and other health problems are with muscles attached from the leg – hip – torso complex all connected together.
The impact the hips have on the whole body. One must understand the magnitude of the problem.

While treating people what I observed, they are not at all aware of their own state of  muscles or locked hip flexors rather dominance of fexors group of muscles ( who are flexible they do not realise this ,may be do not want it).

This contributes to the following problems:

Nagging joint pain in the legs, lower back, or hips .
Walking with discomfort and with sourness.
Hips locking up ( lateral rotation of thigh and pelvic tilt in front)
Bad posture – medial rotation of shoulder,dropping in chest, hunch back.
Trouble sleeping (natural state of lying on our back we have lost, sitting and standing is killing us, walking which is our natural we have lost its skill along with physiological functions)
Sluggishness in day to day life, fatigue, etc.
High anxiety
Lack of explosiveness about our spinal column.

Do you find it surprising that all of this might be simply caused by this tight muscle?

Try to understand the stiffness and hardness of our own voluntary muscular architecture, which should be elastic. 

To overcome these situations of our health, we should work with accordingly and following the laws of nature, Univers.

Many people suffer from tight or locked hip flexors, especially those who sit for hours each day, but few realize the impact on the whole body but feel it’s natural .

Again,note that everything flows through the hips.They help to support the strength and health of your entire body.

AND AT THE VERY HEART OF THIS IS THAT POWERFUL SURVIVAL MUSCLE – HIP FLEXORS.HIP FLEXORS ARE THE BODY’S MOST POWERFUL, PRIMAL MUSCLE.

 One must understand the importance of lower extremity with organs situated within body cavities. The relationship of lower extremity with the lower back, which is a lumbar spine, has a direct relationship and connection with the central axis. Also,the tendon of the  respiratory diaphragm is attached to the lumbar spine and ribcage. Respiratory diaphragm has the relationship of organs situated above lungs and heart and below organs such as liver,stomach,spleen,gall bladder,small and large intestine, kidneys,Bladder, reproductive organs,excretory organs etc above pelvic diaphragm which is formed by voluntary muscles.

Legs are the foundation of our structure and for locomotion.Healthy legs never hurt, and your symptoms  like headache, migraine, vertigo , sinusitis , acidity, etc. are signs of physical  instability of the vertibral column. 

So be aware of your legs and do not ignore them. Do not make your legs restless.

In our body ,resistance of ground transfers below from ground towards body upward  and body weight of our structure,which transfer from spine ( cervical, thoracic and lumbar) ,to both  Sacroiliac joint to both hip joints ,knee joints and ankle joints towards foot. These are weight bearing joints. Pressure keeps on increasing from head  portion to foot as it gets transferred towards ground,vice versa. We have a shock absorber( disc,cartilage, meniscus) in our weight bearing joints. But in today’s harse lifestyle, how do you keep these  shock absorber intact is most important ? 

      If one wants to remove pressure,on this structure  then neutral states of voluntary muscles and equilibrium state  are important factors that seem to ignore a lot. If one understands this, then only one will understand what physical  stability means, and without it, mobility has got no meaning. We better understand and work physically in the right direction of efforts to bring command over our musculoskeletal system to bring control of our nervous system. Then, only one will understand yoga talks about control on our autonomous nervous system that is

The role of muscles is most important, to hold  this vertical structure upright, which actually we are not and which we have to make efforts to extend ourselves as a biped against many forces are acting on our body. 

The neutral state of muscles to keep upright is a key factor.It is like a pulley like structure back side of body strings that must pull towards foot, front side strings pulling upward head.

Two of the four properties of our muscles that is contraction and excitability, are defensive force, which is reflex action, too. Thus is one of the reasons , we start losing elasticity and the extensibility force of muscles. These are the most important properties of muscles through which infants make efforts for movement , locomotion and sit, stand and walk, but then it goes into automation.

So now we have to learn this intellectually and consciously. Therefore, we have to make efforts to enhance these properties of muscles.

Do You know decrease space in  joints are reference for  how  inner cavities ( skull,chest, abdominal and pelvis) are compressed and tissues get denser and  harden.

Of course,to understand these, you have to reach a deeper level in your daily routine where you will feel and have awareness of these spaces through muscular architecture. It totally depends on how and what efforts  you make to avoid its deterioration in day to day use and avoid wear and tear in repetitive movements in joints. The follow of movement in muscles and direction,time , and space are important dimensions in your health regime.

One must observe deeply in any exercise, including yoga postures and the name of  stretching. What exactly are you doing, tightening? hardening? Shortening?  creating space or compressing it? Are you making efforts to move muscles, or is your aim to move joints and assume muscles move accordingly? Do you understand muscle tone? Do you know the elasticity and  extensibility of muscles mean with practical experience?

Ours is a vertical and movable  structure.Muscular architecture has ancient memory stored in our ancient brain. Root causes lies here. As we have lost and forgotten their memory of natural behaviour patterns, which not learnt consciously and intellectually. They get modified and stuck into the reflex and defensive mechanism and adapt wrongly. Thus, get stiffer and stiffer and can not relax or stretch. What we teach is to bring back their natural memory back with the right direction of consistent efforts where stiffness of voluntary as well as surrounding soft tissues is obstacles. Therefore it won’t be easy but not difficult also

To make us stable, there is tremendous pressure / stress and strain on all over  musculature, mainly deep muscles, which are called gate, hence on our motor system.has  tremendous abnormal pressure to make us stable. What efforts do you take to make this structure stable?

 What efforts do you make for the movement of muscle? Or do  your efforts are to move joints ?

Do you have full control over your voluntary muscles as we don’t have a braking system in our body .

You can move your hands and legs. Does this mean your joints are in good condition?

What efforts do you make to keep natural space between each vertebra so disc will remain hydrated? 

What efforts do you make to enhance elasticity and extensibility of muscles ? Which technique are you using ? 

To keep our skeleton intact our muscles must have elasticity and extensibility.These two properties are important to keep excitability and contractility to work smoothly.Not only these but to balance inner space and inner force with outer space and force muscles must be elastic.

“Observe your muscles, feel them, move them – they are under your voluntary control. By doing so, you’ll experience a sense of space within your body and understand the true meaning of ease – a state where there is no pain. A disease-free body is within our reach, and health will follow naturally. We often fool our brain by relying solely on physical activity, neglecting intellectual understanding. Instead, we should focus on achieving physical stability and enhancing it step by step, until it becomes an innate part of our being. This will lead to higher evolution, freeing us from the cycle of diseases and symptomatic treatments. Currently, we’re stuck in a cycle of managing symptoms with chemicals and physical interventions, rather than addressing the root causes.”
