ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Matt shares his story with chronic hip pain and hip arthritis. He explains how he's beaten hip pain repeatedly in his life, solving popping, snapping, and aching in his own hips. And he shares two stretches for tight lateral hips that will improve hip mobility. If you have a tight TFL, glute medius, glute max, or glute minimus, you'll want to watch.

There is big pop in the sacrum I think ,left side when I do some exercises but it doesnt hurt it only cracks.
It's Abit difficult to see what you're doing wearing black clothes. You do make excellent sense. I'll certainly work on what I hope you showed. 👀 Thanks
Upright Health is
It helped right away! Thank you!
Subscribed. I’ve found the same principles work for me... and I suffer from the hip and low back pain as well. I also try to stay tuned into what my body is craving or trying to tell me too. I even follow my food cravings, or at least interpret them as a need for a certain nutrient or something specific. But thanks a lot for the helpful video bro, I’ll check out the others soon. And I will definitely be trying to add stretch #2 to my regular plan and see how it goes! ✌🏼🧘🏻♂️
I have had crippling pain for 14 months and had endless trips to doctors and physio sessions. Just when I was beginning to feel completely hopeless this video has given me the biggest sense of improvement of any other exercise I have tried. I am indebted to you. Many many thanks.
Happy to provide hope and guidance for you. 🙏✊
Hey Matt... it's 6 months later... Did this work for you for positive results?
@@denisemsummersett9400 it really did help me a lot. But I discovered that I require surgery and am currently waiting for a date. Exercise like these have honestly kept me going until I finally got a diagnosis. Checked in with the doctor that I wasn't putting myself at risk doing physio like this...but was approved to carry on within comfortable limits. I wish you lots of luck and good health.
Hi Matt, if you are having pain I would suggest a pain mgmt doctor who does ABLATIONS it burns the nerves and NUMBS any PAIN that you have, you can get it done on your back, hips and knees and its AWESOME !!! NO SURGERY try this first if you are still dealing with pain be blessed and Shalom
@@janinehenschel4988thank you so much for that information. I will definitely look into it!
I am an MD and found most MDs including orthopedists do not approach musculoskeletal problems with your approach. I love your videos and use them in my own life. Thank you for doing them!!
Great to hear! Thanks for following along!
Big thanks for this informative and approachable video! Your humble yet knowledgeable approach really shines through. I'm grateful for the valuable insights and experiences shared here.
I am from India 62 years old woman having left butt pain and for 4 months doing stretches but your technique worked on my pain
Awesome! :-)
Bro. Your awesome
Dude you’re genius😓 I’ve been suffering for 4 years with hip and si joint pain from a deadlift injury.. these two stretches helped me tremendously!! I feel stable and strong in my hips again after doing them for 10 minutes
How is it going now a year later ?
Watched about 50 videos the last 3 days, did everything they said and I just found yours right now. This one helped the most and their stretches and exercises were nothing like yours. Thank you so much
I'm 75yrs old,got to try some of these exercises fed up of pain killers 🥴
I'm so glad you talked about putting your baby down in the crib! I'm a newborn nanny, and this has been a problem lately for me too. Thanks so much for posting, and congrats on your baby!
Ohh man I really feel relaxed and less pain in a one session, I really having a hard time believing after years of pain, I am highly positive this is the journey to my recovery, thanks a lot and respect to the work you doing. 😊😊
This man really knows what he is talking about.
THANK YOU! I have had a tight hip issues ever since a vertical cut abdominal surgery 18 years ago. Most of the surgery was on the right side and right hip has always been the tightest. I felt blood flow in my hips immediately after doing the 2 strengthening exercises and these stretches. PTs kept telling me to stretch but it never worked. These work!!!
LIFE CHANGING
Thank you
The hip pain you described is to the T exactly the same as mine. Never heard anyone describe exactly what I feel. Got an MRI 13 years ago and got the “chronic arthritis” diagnosis. It’s been slowly getting worse over the years, (my own fault) and I was honestly close to losing the faith and going back to the doc. But I’m stubborn and a student of anatomy, mainly muscles, and I have always known it was the muscles. It is so refreshing to hear someone say what I believe, but saiid with more knowledge, facts, and better articulated. I’ve been watching your vids and following your stretching work for 4 days and finally it makes sense to me, and the work I’ve been doing is already showing results. I’ve got a lot of work ahead I have terrible atrophy of Medius, Minimus, TFL, and Rec Fem.
But finally I see results and light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank you so much, I already know all I have to do is keep at it and I’ll be pain free or close in the near future.
AWESOME! Thanks for the message and for your support! Congrats on getting to the root of some of your issues!
Your story is also mine although I have to say that my next step "was" going to have expensive tests. I had not gone that route yet thank goodness. This has helped me enormously! I am now able to hike again ❤️
Maybe the best video i've seen that educates me on pain and function of muscles. I have chronic lower back pain and this information was very mentally useful.
Happy to help. We've got a few videos on back pain out now. Be sure to check out the back pain playlist as well: th-cam.com/play/PLfKNSz5BBcBGd6qElhfu9Qu5nCYKswsFy.html
Agree!!!!
I started a program of qi gong to improve stability of my lower body and developed stitching hip pain that became a constant misery.
After going to my doctor & chiropractor, who took Xrays and MRI, I was told I have degenerated joints due to age and arthritis, and advised to rest, stay off my feet & given pain medication.
Rest only made the pain worse, keeping me up at nights.
Am so glad I found your channel!
Now I know I was given bad advice. I started the hip and inner thigh stretches to retrain my muscles, and it has made a world of difference! I'm easing back into qi gong now - much wiser for taking *your* advise. Thank You.
I have dealt with this hip pain like yours for one year. I have tried all the exercises online. I was not going to give up. Came across your video today. Have done the stretches and contractions several times today . The pain is gone!!! I will continue doing these stretches and contractions. Thank you. Today is my birthday--what I great birthday gift--to be free of this pain!!!!
You got this!
Happy birthday
my right hip has been hurting for a week now and I've been so scared thinking I have permanent injury but I've tried all your strategies and they're working thank you so much ❤️
I am okay with my pain because honestly its telling me the truth how i have neglected the one thing that connects me to my life and my journey to heal is made palatable with companions funny and intelligent and honest and human...who are also excellent teachers. More videos on the baby please.
Gosh...this has really helped me. I noticed outer hip pain a couple years ago..I'm 70 now. Thanks so much! I also don't believe in rest rest rest. I believe that we need to keep moving all the time.
That first stretch rocked my world! I started a desk job about 6 months ago and try to alternate between sitting and standing as much as possible. My left outer hip in particular has become so sore, and my inner hips ache and pop constantly. I will incorporate these stretches into my daily regimen! Thank you so much for sharing this info!! 🥳
Thank you so much. Just one session of this (honestly) and I already feel eased and upon walking there is virtually no pain in that muscle and I have been in pain with that hip for years and could not lift that leg up and onto my knee without manually putting it there. Thanks again. I am going to continue. Also my balance is better.
I dont know how to thank you...I was suffering HUGE for the last year. I knew the first stretch but never tried it with the forward bend. OMG...seriously felt relief right away. Been repeating the stretch through the last few days ...gently. I slept with no pain after at least a year. I was beginning to worry I had a herniated disc. Thank you for helping me...(Just for the record I did get physio.. no lasting effect)
VERY happy to been able to help with this video. :-) Your body is capable of far more than most physios will ever tell you.
I too have severe arthritis on my hips, but because I practice yoga every day as I'm an instructor, I do not take any medication for my hips. I simply changed to a plant based diet, work on. lots of hip openers, stretch all the time, and I am as mobile and agile as my younger self. I love how your youtube resonated with how I treat my hips too. Keep up the great work using non invasive treatments to care for your hips.
Matt, you are an amazing individual! Thank you for your plain speaking, educational, thoughtful and wonderful videos! Your ability to speak so eloquently combined with the expressiveness in your body (to illustrate the stretches) is second to none. Your channel is a Godsend. Thank you.
I'm a 71 year old man and your lecture and information taught me a lot. Thanks. You can teach an old dog new tricks.
It has been 1 year since I was diagnosed with arthritis in my left hip, and 4 years prior to that I was diagnosed with a laberal tear by a different surgeon who told me to rest it, move less and dont take the joint through a full range of movement......at this point I was a fitness coach, PT and massage therapist for 14 years.....so no chance of that.
At the time I worked with and knew physiotherapist, osteopaths, coaches from different sports, and physiotherapist who focus on rehab post hip surgery. They all said the same thing, avoid the surgery if you can, focus on nutrition, and strengthen the area (create structural balance). I can now squat my body weight and more, previously I couldn't, I was very week on my left side of my body, now I am alot stronger and have less pain in my hip and leg. Oh and my range of movement has improved massively (still a long way to go). Your channel has helped me on that journey, so thank you 👍🏿🇬🇧
Honored to be a part of that success!
styleyk thanks for sharing. Happy for you 💖
styleyk , hello, I reverse a 50% arthritis in my lumbar region by walking and drinking ginger tea from scratch.

Helpful hand exercise
This makes me feel so proud of the profession I chose. Massage therapist. Sometimes we are the LAST person a client will see when all else has failed. We are the foundation. ATM!!!!
I get a massage every 2 weeks. It definitely helps but if I don’t do my exercises every day, my back will hurt which makes it hard to walk
You are talking pure sense. "Doctors
"generally think that everyone but them is allowed to think for themselves. I personally dislike having my body doctored by anyone but myself. Love your chanel. Thank you very much.
Just when I was about to throw up in the towel... you came to restore my faith. I will keep watching particularly this video and keep practising these stretches until I can move without pain...god bless
You are great! Doctors don't really mean well, they are always out to operate. As a patient nowadays you have to be informed. You do this very well. Thank you so much for sharing.
So glad I found this video while scrolling. I’ve been suffering with debilitating low back, hip and groin pain for almost a year. I just started physical therapy- what you are describing is exactly what’s going on with me. everything you said makes perfect sense. I cannot seem to relax that muscle in my right hip, the pain is going into my groin and I cannot walk. I’m looking forward to doing these stretches!!! Thank you so much for this video!!! I subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to more great advice! Thank you again !!! 👏👏👏
Right on Matt! I had terrible hip pain for many years but discovered working with it the right way saved me from surgical intervwntion. Thank you for all you do and sharing real natural solutiions.
My no longer Dr told me I had arthritis in my neck just looking at me without any examination because of my age. I found a Dr who did Active Release Technique, and I'm great now. It's all about the muscles.
KT Kitty Active pain release ... thank you!
KT Kitty can you please explain what active release technique is? I’ve been suffering with neck pain for the past two years.
Thank you so much, I have been dealing with hip pain for a while and especially due to the amount of cycling I do. I stretch an hour a day before working out and my lower back and hips were in constant pain. These 2 stretches bring relief, so THANKS!
I really appreciate how calmly you explain things. I’m looking forward to trying these out today. What you’re saying about pain, restoring balance, and that we’re not permanently damaged. I’ve had hip pain in a few areas for around 14 months. I can resonate with what you said about sitting, driving, etc. 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for teaching your stretching program. I’ve been in pain and bothered for years by weakness and inability to function normally. These have helped me with just one session!
Your channel is a godsend. I'm so happy I found you! I've been told similarly wrong things by doctors many many times.
I'm so grateful to find your video tonight. I have had hip problems over the last 10/15 years and had surgery on both hips (PAO). I have returned to working out with weights aerobics but have had horrible hip pain. These exercises worked right away!! A miracle!! Relieved my pain. Thank you so much Matt. I'm going to check out your other videos too. So grateful.
Hi Diane I have recently been told I need PAO surgery due to dysplasia and labrum tear. It sounds like it didn't really work for you? I'm trying to focus on muscle growth to support the hip rather than go down the surgical route. But pain is getting me down and I'm wondering if i should go down the surgical route.
Thankyou so much this is the first hip stretch exercise that has really helped ease my hip pain, I’ve been suffering for years, the first exercise in this video bought soo much relief. I’ve never commented on a TH-cam before but I just felt I had to because this is such a breakthrough for me. I appreciate that you explained how over using your hips and not stretching correctly can be a problem, well that’s me for sure so I think this was what the problem was I wasn’t doing the right stretching exercise for my hips, I now realiseI was doing stretches that were way too aggressive for my poor sore hips. I just had to let you know you’ve really helped me. I’m now thinking to get your hip program. Helena
Bro…i need this hat, like, for real…mine gets lint balls. Your teaching and demonstrations are excellent
Awesome..... thanks... I am sharing this video with my husband who has been dealing with hip pain for a few weeks. 🙂
Coming back to this channel again and again. SO thankful for you guys!!
I have been dealing with severe hip pain in my left hip for 7 years. It has gotten worse each year. I’ve always stretched but it’s always made the pain worse. These stretches made the pain better and has helped my range of motion better. This video has been an answer from God and the Universe because I knew that my pain was just a symptom that something was wrong and that I needed to figure it out because it’s my body. Thank you so much for being brave enough to share this information. You saved my hips.
I recently strained my hip muscles causing my femur to eventually pop out of my hip joint. Yes, I dislocated my hip. I did have it popped back in by my chiropractor with follow up and tests with my medical doctor. No fracture, "just muscle". Still significant pain and impaired mobility. I am a 55 yr old hard working food production employee. My chiropractor has helped significantly with my alignment. However, I needed to strengthen my front and side hip muscles, heck, even my butt muscles. Matt, I found your videos and truthfully watching you do the "frog" and other stretching positions actually caused me to feel pain and I cringed thinking about some of those positions. Well...I tried them. And I must say, "THANK YOU!" You have made quite a difference in my flexibility, mobility, ambulation and physical well being. No more pain or walking with a cane...getting stronger day by day.
Martha Gornal I’m so glad your on the mend Martha 👍🍀👍
@@deborahdavies5560 Much appreciated!
I went to orthopedist for my hip pain he offered to fuse my joint. I left and never returned to him or any other ortho. I just did your exercises and feel a warmth in my joints. May God continue to bless you and keep you. Subscribing NOW.
This represents the Best of what TH-cam can be. Thank you so much for this channel👍😊
Dan Jones couldn’t agree more!!
I’ve been suffering off and on for too long with hip bursitis. I could not move my left leg across my body to the right. Doing these for one week. 70% better. Pain relief after first day. Thank you. So glad I found this.
Wow, so glad to hear this!
I’ve been struggling with mad hip pain that shot down to my foot. I’ve watched countless videos and although I did learn a lot through watch them all, this is the video that put the nail in the wall.
My pain was not a result of a tight muscle. In fact, the leg I had the pain on was more flexible than the leg that didn’t have pain. It was a matter of strengthening the muscle to make the pain truly go away
I've been dealing with what you described for years. Had surgery on my L5-S1 in 2013 & it messed me up. Severe lower back pain, hip pain, pelvic pain, & leg pain. I hope these help me! Thank you 💜
Im 62 diagnosed hip arthritis 4 yrs ago. I believed drs cos i didnt know better. I dont want surgery. Physio didnt instil confidence that their advice would help. Much like a tick box situation. I wont get the op.
I like what you post. Ill try this.
Beautiful and well stated from a 25 yr registered nurse. Keep it up!
OMG. I couldn't stand and walk. I just tried out one of the exercises and the pain completely left. Yes. I contracted the muscles in the stretch. THANK YOU.🖒😮😊❤
You're welcome!
I have had a lot of issues with my back & hips. A few years ago i was diagnosed with a deterioration of my L5. Being i had previously worked for a Chiropractor, i knew lack of circulation was at play. I began sleeping with a spiked soft blow up ball, on my side and leaning my L5 area onti the ball. No more problems with my L5. Love your videos! You are great! I am 62❤
Rhonda Matthews L5S1 me too. DDD. So glad you found something helped.
Can u explain does the ball go under back at L5 or on ur side.
@@cheriszymanski2752 i place the ball right where my spine is sore and gently roll back into the ball. You'll move it around each time to where you feel the soreness most😊
Youre on your side, then roll toward the ball so the weight of your back begins to lay onto the ball, sort of on your side but leaning on toward your back. Its about circulation in the area. You can also lay onto the ball placed under your back abd gently roll around on it regularly, daily. Hope this helps!
I am so thankful for your videos! Working on posture has been the #1 reason why I have less pain now. I look forward to all of your videos!
I'm suffering from hip pain for 3 days and was planning to go see a doctor tomorrow. But then I googled and your video pops out and I did the first exercise for 10 mins and OMG the pain reduced!
Exercises at 7.08 and 12.03 thanks so much, very effective 👍
Thank you!
I am from India and 61 years old. i had this nagging hip pain. your exercises really did the trick. i am thankfull to you.👍
Seeing an orthopod tomorrow for a knee, I think, IT syndrome, this came out blue, causing more pain than knee!! I have put off so long, but I'm so glad I found you!! As a nurse, I listen to myself... & You now! Trying you excerises now!!!
Thank you because I was about to panic. I did your exercises and I feel 98% better!!! Thank you so much and for the encouragement. Congrats too Papa😊
Great video. Lots of practical, common sense advice delivered in a very engaging manner.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, had this pain for months and these two exercises are the only ones that really hit the right spot I am in my 70’s and you are so informative.
Yah... gave up on Dr's long ago. They immediately want to write you a script or go get a ton of tests. They know nothing about diet except to tell you not to eat red meat (so I now eat only meat and fresh vegetables) and I do muscle strengthening exercises. So happy to have your videos pop up and am now a subscriber and feeling better already. Thank you! I'm 66 and I garden and sometimes clean the house, but there's my beautiful little Haflinger in the back pasture that would love me to get on her again. And I shall! Thanks again!
I'm 58 and I'm retired. Yesterday I did some concrete work at my house. Boy, was I sore and my hips were uncomfortable and tight.
Your video sure helped me. I subscribed. Thank you
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
I love this. It's like training animals where you capture what you want to train. I have always tried to isolate where I'm hurting and capture it and work on stretch it, release etc.
This man is BRILLIANT in his approach to pain and what it really means. Practical and pleasant grounded in physiology science, he speaks to the core concerns of elimination of pain through intelligent muscle flexion and contraction. Thank you so much!
That's super helpful, 3 months of ass pain almost gone, now to do some contractions. Note that the cause was due to excessive use of squatting with a hip circle band, followed by a strained back. Thanks very much for the video.
You're VERY welcome!
Excellent demonstration & explanation of hip pain! I'm sharing your video with my husband who was diagnosed with piriformis syndrome this past May & has been seeing a chiropractor & going to PT ever since! He has not been told about the 2 exercises you suggested but I think it will help him ALOT! Thank you again for educating us on ways to strengthen our muscles which in turn will help our bodies heal naturally.
I've been doing these stretches for the past 45 minutes or so and it's definitely relieved some pain. I don't feel as tense. I got massage on Monday and another one today and they didn't really help and maybe it's an accumulation of all three but this is really amazing. Thanks m8.
Thank you thank you. I went to drs for years. Forget that. I haven’t even done these exercises yet and I know I’m going to finally have relief from the suffering I have been going through. I know you really know what your talking about. I just never had anyone explain the things you did. Thank you so much ☺️
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
I tried these this morning. I have had left hip pain for over a decade. So surprised that just two reps of both eased the pain. Good job, guys! Thank you!
Loved this!
Following a bad car accident and getting all kinds of "just rest it" messages, (it only got worse) pilates gave me this type of "ATM" mindset.
It has done wonders, I feel decade younger thinking and working this way!
Also , combining tennis ball massage gets me to a point that allows me to stretch muscles that are already super tight.
The video is a Godsend. It gives me hope, joy even before doing the stretches, thanks to your knowledge. For last 2 months I have been so scared thinking of hip replacement surgeries . I had been so depressed worrying that my hips had been permanently damaged . The first stretch works so well for me. Thanks a million.
From a yoga instructor, please stay off the knee always. In the twist you showed, you could just as easily move your foot above your knee, or just outside it. Thanks for the videos. And yes, over 35 years ago was told I needed back surgery. I said no, and walked away. Keeping my lower back, hips, healthy is a priority. Agree doctors over prescribe and underutilize simple exercises like this.
The pigeon stretch in the lying position is amazing I can see how this can help me with my weak glute medius and minimus tear I have had for four years now . Even post op hip replacement in that hip two years ago Wish I would’ve known this first ! I don’t think I really needed the replacement
Love your explanations! You instruct with clear, precise reasoning and effectively correlate structure and function. I am an old dancer, and your video was immensely helpful!
Excellent video. I injured my hip in January and still have pain and restricted mobility in my outer hip. Your advice makes sense and I'm going to take you advice. Thanks so much!
You have been such a blessing. You're literally changing the quality of my life. Thank God for you!!
Wow. Tell us more! uprighthealth.com/share :-)
Shantel ESCOBAR so true for me as well!!
Lucky for me I discovered your hip pain videos. Months of resting and just stretching has not relieved my hip pain (diagnosed as bursitis). ATM makes sense and I have begun the basic strength exercises. I am optimistic my pain will recede as my muscles get stronger. Thank you for very specific, clear, thoughtful advice.
Thanks for your channel I have sciatica,hip arthritis and stenosis and will be doing this often.
This was so well done. I couldn't agree with you more about being professionally qualified to talk about hip pain you were spot on with the chef analogy good for you. I'm really enjoying all of your videos can't get enough of them keep them coming.
Thanks. The good old fashioned “ the splits” stretch sitting on the floor and keep loosening the whole legs out is wonderful. Do it while watching a show
Struggled with excruciating inner hip and groin pain for several years as a result of several injuries. I thought I was too stiff and needed to increase flexibility. Ultimately I found too much stretching to be completely counterproductive. Only thing that has resulted in sustained improvement was figuring out where I had strength imbalances and finding the right combination of strengthening exercises to correct those, accompanied by very moderate to minimal stretching. Seemingly "tight" muscles went away through the right strengthening exercises. Painful process with lots of steps backwards. Also there is a significant genetic component to hip shape and range of motion. Trying to overcome this by overstretching your hips is IMHO a recipe for disaster.
Straight up. Good advice.
Strength at every length! 💪
D
Awesome Matt - your videos are really helpful - specific exercises to relieve my hip pain, like these to lateral hip stretches especially the first one using stretch and contract combinations. Waking up my hip muscles is a challenge but the after effects of pain reduction are very rewarding.
Amazing explanation....one of the best si far!!! You’re so young yet so passionate in helping people in pain. Thank you and God bless!😊
You have provided exercises even better than my fabulous physiotherapist in some cases. And my physiotherapist has been much, much better than my doctor in understanding and fixing hip, knee, and back issues. I think MDs are not trained to do the deep muscle work, and I feel sad when I see friends rushing to get hip and knee replacements. That could have been me, as well as lower back surgery. Thank you for your invaluable work!
I am 71years old and have recently had a l hip replacement and I am going to follow your advice. Thank you for posting!
Found your videos about hip pain some days ago because having them right now again and going to the doctors wasn't that successful until now. Last year I had hip pain so bad that I couln't walk properly anymore without pain. I have to say I'm 23 years old and do dancing 3x a week so I shouldn't be that stiff, I guess. And could relate sooo much when you talked about your hip pain at this time. So I'm gonna try the exercises you recommend in your vids. Hoping it will also reduce my popping hip. I already want to thank you just for making me feel like, I'm not alone with that and calming me down by giving me hope. 😊🙏🏼
“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
This was soooo helpful ever since being on my feet almost everyday I’ve had such bad hip pain at only 20 years old! So this was helpful. Made the “catching pain” I had go away. and the captions had me loling
Excelente chicos, son geniales. Me encanta ver cada uno de sus videos porque los pongo en práctica por mi cadera, me han dicho hace 12 años que tenía que operarme y nunca les creí porque de alguna manera sabía que se podía hacer algo, y ustedes han reafirmado mis ideas y me han enseñado mucho más de lo que yo sabía. Les estoy muy agradecido, sigan adelante!!!
I love this fire log modification. That pose always seemed crazy out of reach. I’ve been doing some PNF stretches and this one. Plus the 90 degree and 135 degree leg lifts. FINALLY had a breakthrough with my pain. Thanks. I’ve been hurting for over a decade but more since February which is about when I started PT. This has made the most significant change for me. (Plus foam rolling my lower back, which I got from another PT I think.)
Outstanding hip stretches and precisely what I've needed! That first one is a true jewel (and so is that beautiful baby). Thank you so much~ 💕
I believe everything you are saying is true. I had a dr tell me in my 40s that I had degenerative disc disease arthritis and mild scoliosis. He told me I needed an injection in my spine. Hell no way , I went and bought a yoga video ( yes this was back in the day) and after that incorporated Pilates . I still have all those conditions but disease but have no pain anywhere.now in my 53 ..
Wow! Matt has a lovely way of communicating so smoooooth! Well done bro this is useful
Thanks, my hip flexors and all glutes are locked up and painful, and yes I have not stretched out for a long time and then go and strain them. I will do these stretches straight away😀
You have helped me and I look foward to increasing my flexabilities with your exercises ❣ Thank You
I like your atttude and demeanor about hip pain. you're speaking exactly to what is going on in my hip pain chronically. Covid is part of my problem, lack of my regular workouts. but being creative and empowered is so helpful. thank you!
OMG THAT FELT AMAZING ON MY HIP. Especially the broom stick stretch. Gonna use this one all the time for sure.
I love this. I did the stretches as you were talking and felt immediately relief. Will do it 3x a week
I was lifting weights while talking to my son on the phone. Then I forgot to do my stretching, for the next few days, my hip was really bothering me. This stretch and the other stretch from the other video that looks like a frog really helped me. Thank you!
OMG I order your hip program
and I can finally walk fast without pain I feel like I have a younger new body.
Thank you so much 😊
