This instructional video, “How to Correct Lower Back and Hip Dysfunction,” of Holistic Movement Practitioner Naudi Aguilar, showing you the comprehensive approach he takes to correcting lumbo-pelvic hip imbalances.
Lower back, hip, knee imbalances, along with many other bodily issues have become all too common in our westernized society. This is due to the fact that our cultural lineage and natural lineage are not aligned with each other.
For example: sitting for 10 hours a day is not something we would do in our natural habitat. We would be hunting and foraging for foods on a regular basis. The reality is that the body is adapted to move around, and if these adaptations are tampered with, many physical problems will arise as a result.
This video will cover highly important elements not typically discussed by most healthcare professionals. It is imperative to note that our environment is very extreme and that we need to implement technical opposite extremes if we expect to find a balance.
Most training approaches do not offer enough compensation to really make any long term changes. Naudi Aguilar’s approach is one of enough extremity to compensate for today’s imbalanced society.

Hello,
I am a soccer player who also was muay thai fighter. Due to the stress and other factors (lack of stretching, bad training methods) from training I ended up tearing my hip labrum and fractured the neck of my femur. After well over 24 months and going to overly rude and unknowledgeable doctors, I actually found one that diagnosed me with certain problems.
1. Torn Labrum
2. L5-l1 buldge
3.Pelvic floor in balance
4.pubic pubic symphysis issues
5. Sciatica
6. VERY tight hamstrings
7. Bone stress reactions
Although ive had the surgery (arthro-hip) and allot of the pain is gone, I am still sore in the hips and pubic syphysis area. I also have allot of popping and clicking in the hip/neck of femur area. The main area that give me fits are my adductors, they always feel tight and always inflamed, making it impossible to make the tight turns in soccer. Im Portuguese, I HAVE to play soccer LOL! I also cant lift my leg up very high to do high kicks. I know it sounds like allot of problems but beforehand I could barely walk or even sit in a chair without having striking pain in my hip, groin and buttocks. The numbness so bad I had to just take off work some times. Im now 30! I still want to be at an active level. However, I think my physical therapy only focuses on big muscles but never targets my trouble areas listed above.
I wanted to know if this video is a workout video and will it help my balance and strengthen my hip, back and adductors? Where would I start, what videos should I look at first on your Youtube channel. Should I only do the exercises in the video on your site?
It’s hard to say Patrick, I’m not there to really know for sure what your problem is… What’s covered on the video usually gets people atleast 80 percent better than what they were if they implement the movements regularly and correctly, as they are specifically meant to redistribute all weight evenly on the lower body. I can’t ever make promises to anyone I haven’t seen because I don’t know what your specific issue are… What I do know is that if you balance your hips it’s likely that you will feel better within time.
Hello,
Thank you for a the quick response. I forgot to mention in my initial post that all my symptom are caused from Osteitis Pubis. My former physical therapist said I need to strengthen my hip/pelvic floor, lower back and core. These are the issues that are causing my hamstrings to be very tight and have little mobility. I wanted to know what is the difference between the videos on your youtube channel and the video for purchased on your site. I was watching one of your videos on youtube and you said if your hamstings and buttocks are really tight I should start from the beginning of your routine. I am really excited at your workout routine because youre one of the few people who have talking about the problem areas I have.I would like to know where I should start when using your routine. Thank you for your time!
The difference between the videos on youtube and the one for purchase is that I take you through the entire systematic approach on how to implement the entire system of Myofascial Release, Static stretching and corrective exercise. There’s a specific order I follow to bring about a faster and safer transition into functionality. If you release the wrong muscle group at the wrong time or activate a muscle group at the wrong time, then you may not get much effect out of what you’re trying to do. This video consists of what I use with almost everyone and the success rate is high if it’s done correctly. Regardless, the videos on youtube are all there and you can experiment around and put the pieces of the puzzle together. Good luck! :^)
Hello,
OK! I will start with the video on the website and after a few weeks, i will then use the ones on youtube. Thank you for your time!
my pleasure bud, good luck!!!
I have flat feet and i was wondering if you know how to correct this problem. Im also curious to know if this video is like workout video where i have to follow along as you do the movements.
Flat feet are usually a direct result of excessive external hip/femur rotation, leading the body to fall on it’s arches when you are walking. Excessive hip/femur external rotation is usually a result of poor gluteal activation (specifically gluteus maximus). The majority of the issue with ankle pronation is directly related to lumbo pelvic dysfunction, so I would say this video is highly applicable to you :^)
Hi Naudi, I’m just downloading this video now, and am looking forward to it. I am wondering about differences from left to right side (ie pelvis rotated to the right), and how to address that. Thanks!
Hoe do you download the video i already bought the video but don know how to download it.
It should be in your e-mail
Naudi
Love your work. I work with people who lift weights (fitness and muscle models). I believe getting the body in balance is CRUCIAL to optimal performance! Here is my personal dilemma! I love functional training, but want to build more muscle size/mass. The usual way is to eat more and push heavy weight (different body part or two a day). How or when do I work in my functional work within that kind of schedule? Can I incorporate both methods? Right now I’m following Mark Verstagen’s Core Performance workouts, but would like a more muscular aesthetic . I played sports, danced in NYC for years, done yoga, crossfit, shotokan karate for years, so I love conditioning but now at 51 would like more muscular aesthetic . Hard to slow down and just consume more calories and lift heavy. Will I throw my body out of balance?
Kind regards,
David
Hey Naudi,
Is there any equipment required for this Human Foundations video?
Thanks
Hi Naudi,
I purchased your functional patterns video however I have not recieved it in my email thus far, can you please re-send? Thanks.
sure what order number was it?
#1229
link resent :^)
Does this video include help for anterior pelvic tilt?
It helps address anterior tilts, asymmetry and rotational dysfunction within the lumbo pelvic region
Very pin pointed .. exactly what i was looking for to better correct my SI joint dysfunction. Wish i would’ve found this sooner. cheers
Hi Naudi,
Your recommended that I get the how to correct lower back and hip dysfunction video when I told you I was not able to do a narrow stance squat without falling backwards (I can do do a deep squat in a wider stance though) but when reading the discription of this video Im not sure if it was I should be getting. Is this only for people who have pain in their lower back, hips or knees? How do I know if actually have a dysfunction in any of those areas?
Thanks,
Nicole
Considering that about 100 percent of the people I have encountered have had these dysfunctions, I can imagine you might be a part of that equation. Almost all of us live in a similar culture (one oriented around sitting) and it’s only inevitable that we will have these imbalances. Like I had mentioned before, If you have the capability of getting your nucleus in full effect (human foundations), it’s likely you’ll re-orient the muscles inhibiting your ability to go into a full deep squat position.
Hi Naudi,
I just purchased the video and I was wondering how long should it take to receive the e-mail with the download?
Naudi,
Great video. I have had great results in less than a week. Just a few questions because it is not clear in the video regards to reps or time…
Can you advise on how long or how many sets of isometric holds, straight and staggered one should do?
What do you suggest as being minimum or maximum time for the plank and standing plank?
How long should one stay in the tfl/quad stretch (lunge stretch against wall/medicine ball)?
Thanks, Greg
Naudi,
Surely you are a busy man…wondering if you can respond to my question
Hi Greg,
in terms of the isometric holds, it really just depends on how well you are executing them. If you’re attacking every improper neuromuscular dysfunction while you’re doing the exercise, it’s likely it will only take 4-8 seconds before the fatigue will get you. If you are capable of hitting that point, then you know you’re executing it well. Otherwise it probably means your body is on its way to going back to its old patterns. Remember it’s not longevity or frequency that determines success, it’s the quality done that will. As for the MFR, there are times where i have spent over 10 minutes doing a single triggerpoint. It really just depends on how bad the area is. For the Rectus Femoris stretch, I would say nothing less than a minute. Thank you and happy holidays
I would like to buy your video, but I am afraid my gym doesn’t have some of equipment you use. Can I fix my body imbalances in the regular gym?
Hi I bought this video and haven’t received the download my order number is #1648.
I will send it immediately, I apologize for any inconvenience!!!
Hi
I have anco spondolitis stage 1 and a slight scoliosis(not a great speller). i have being told i also have a pelvic tilt. what video would you recomend for me.
I’m having a hard time with the last exercise. I’m not quite sure about the stance. Should my pelvis be in posterior tilt while doing this? Where should weight be distributed and where should I feel it the most?
Thanks for any help. I love this video!
Ann
Hi Naudi,
I have been dealing with rectus femoris tendinitis proximal to hip, it seems the inflammation is being reduced, but I m still facing discomfort in the glut region, do you believe this training can help me?
Thanks
Roberto
Do you sell a Dvd version?
Hi Naudi,
I’ve been using your system for correcting back pain and it’s worked wonders for my forward tipped pelvis.
Now I find that my pelvis is tipped from side to side too: my right hip stands higher than the left one. Do these exercise target this condition too? Or is there a video for this too?
Thnx,
Minoja Gerard
I’ve had lower back problems for as along as i can remember although it still doesn’t stop me from going to the gym. I haven’t been able to do crunches for more than 15 reps or so without getting incredible lower back pain (not saying crunches are helpful just trying to illustrate my symptoms). Also, my glutes start spasming from time to time, and when I do deadlifts, I always lean forward. I’ve had multiple people also tell me I walk like a “cat.”
Clearly, I have balance issues. Would you say this video would help address these issues?
Thanks.
