Thank you for all the tips.


I had no idea of this. Simply opening my jaw in this way made a noticeable difference.



When I did the snags something in that area moved with a big click in a place where I can’t remember ever feeling movement before. Hard to be sure that it was Atlantic-occipital joint, but my jaw was immediately looser. Trickle down effect is that for the last couple of hours other things in the area have been releasing a I move. I will do some more research on getting movement into that particular joint.
Wow!!! How amazing is that!!!
This forum is a place where miracles happen!
 
You say "after OS": would you be more specific please?
Pre OS my knees had been ‘pretty good’ as long as I was careful with them - usually pain free, occasional flare ups. But if I attempted to make a habit out of running things would go downhill. After I had had been doing OS for a while (a couple of months? A year? I can’t remember) I realised that my knees were no longer just ‘pretty good‘ but we’re feeling perfect.

I tried running and had zero issues. That Is about all there is to the story.

Glad something helped!

Did you follow a specific OS reset program, like one found in one of the books, or just go by feel?
 
I guess I'll wait till I read the book and then, if I don't understand what "doing OS" means - I'll revisit this.

Sorry. Misunderstood your question. I did the five ‘resets’ as we call them in OS. Basically diaphragmatic breathing, rocking back and forth on hands and knees, slow head nods in hands and knees position, rolling on the floor, and crawling. Reading the book gives the details of each, as well as multiple variations on each of the five. I probably averaged about 10 minutes a day, just made sure I did a solid couple of minutes of each in no particular order. I tried to mix up which variations of each reset I did too.
 
Been doing the basic reset every morning. It makes me feel a million dollars. Purchase the book but Tim also has a lot of videos on his youtube to start trying them. I do these every morning.

1. Belly Breathing - 1 min.
2. Head nods on knees and hands - 30s
3. Head rotations on Knees and hands - 30s
4. Rocking (toes plantar flexed then dorsi flexed) - 30s each
5. OS push up - 10
6. Head nods lying on elbow - 30s
7. Head rotations on elbows - 30s
8. Egg rolls - 30s
9. Segmental egg rolls - 30s
10. Crawling - 2 - 5min.

Seems a lot but trust me when you get going and know the movement it literally takes less 10 min. Hands on down best investment, this and S&S.

Hi;

I have checked your training log. For me you are quite advanced. I have a question if you may.

My mourning routine is Super Joints exercises, Aleks Salkin’s 9 min challenge (light Marching, deadbugs, crawling, carry), BW SLDL and push ups again very light and stretches.

Do you think OS resets provide more than the moves them selves? I feel pretty good about my routine but OS resets are a mistery to me. How come an advanced person as you are still getting benefit out of them? Is it just because you move your self and which is beneficial and my routine would suffice or OS resets provide sth that I am missing. Beyond the explanation of linking left and right brain which any quadruple movement would do.

If some one asks me this question I would say, try yourself :) but I wonder your answer.

Love hearing this. My book is coming on Monday.
How long did it take you to "know the movement"? How long did it take at the beginning?
 
I read the OS Book that was written with Neupert and found it to be very beneficial. The information in the beginning opened up a different way of looking at things. I've been doing the resets every morning and some after workouts and noticed the biggest improvements in my hips and knees.

Judging by the information laid out in this thread, looks like I need to continue on and start reading the other books!

You took away the one thing I was going to say - Try it yourself haha.

I wouldn't say you are "missing" anything per se. I have never done Salkin's 9 min challenge but tbh the moves look great. Super Joints are fantastic. I did that for a long time.

Ok, so I'll answer this in 2 ways. One as a Physiotherapist, which my job and one as a lay person.

Physiotherapist:
Neural desensitisation is something that I use a lot with patients. Desensitization is the technique or method used to reduce hypersensitivity. Without getting to techy - It's essentially using a calm state to move the body through motor patterns that were previously painful, and exploring new ranges without increasing the input of sympathetic state.

Why is this important? Well, if the goal of the morning routine is too "Make you feel good," and move through generalised motor patterns that help "reset" your nervous system for the day and perhaps that day's training, the OS Reset does this very well.

So, no you are not missing anything by not doing it. I do the OS reset because rocking, the portion with hip flexion with toes dorsi flexed is the most fundamental movement that essentially teaches your brain how to squat, deadlift, farmers carry, even do pull ups. And if after doing a heavy day of training, I can repeat certain motor patterns that basically allow my body to to go through the same movement patterns in a non-sympathetic state, I find I go train again.

Lay person:

Dan John says "99% of the people's heavy days are not heavy enough and light days are not light enough".

Most 'morning routines/stretching routines I have done require too much from you. I don't what you guys are like but the last think I want to do at 5am in the morning with possibly a crying baby is do front split training and brace my core etc.

OS Reset is brilliant because it's easy and it moves all my joints through all ranges without me having to spike my nervous system. I don't need to prepare for it. I don't need to talk myself into it.

And the second, most importantly, it makes me feel really good after it. Subjectively. I know, terrible measure, but subjectively I feel great.

So, if Super Joints, makes you feel good and you can stay chilled out through out it, then stick with it man. It's great.

About 2 weeks before I stopped referring back to the book/videos.

That being said, I prescribe these to patients at work, so your milage may vary
