Your Poor Hip Internal Rotation is WRECKING Your Knees
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ค. 2024
- Neglected hip internal rotators can be easily remedied instead of damaging your knees. These three hip internal rotation exercises will get those hip muscles activated and strong to combat our modern lifestyle.
If your hips aren’t rotating properly, your knees are the backup. They’ll absorb all of the force your hips should have, which builds more wear and tear since your knees are hinge joints, not ball and socket joints. In short, poor internal rotation turns into knee pain.
A couple of cues for the exercises:
First, you should feel these exercises in the muscles on the front and upper sides of your hips. Those are the muscles you’re trying to work. If you aren’t feeling anything there, check your form against the video.
Second, if you feel cramping, that’s normal. It happens because your muscles are in the shortened range of motion and don’t yet know what to do about it. Breathe into the muscle and slowly do the exercises. Your muscles are relearning what they’re supposed to do in that range, and the cramping should stop after a couple of sessions.
Keep it up!
If your hips and knees felt better after these exercises, tap the like, subscribe, and notify buttons to keep up to date with new near-weekly videos on how to keep moving freely and without pain!

So it’s been 12 days and I can honestly say this has helped me in so many ways. The morning tightness in my lower back has reduced dramatically. The exercise I find the most helpful is the knee against the wall and go until the muscle fails. (Yea I like pain lol) but yes if you’re having issues with this area give it a go, go hard. All the best
Nice work!
Happy it worked for you
@@hikki6478 Us too :)
Did you do the exercises every day? And was it all of them or just the wall exercises?
OH, I totally missed that these exercises can be good for pain in the lower back as well. (Don't really know why I watched it in the first place, since - thank God - I do not suffer from knee-pain...but perhaps it's because a, or actually two friends of mine do..?).
Anyway - I do suffer from lower back pain though...and I've recently 'discovered' that I 'suffer' from weak "outer-hip" muscle(s?) (and, on the other side - perhaps too strong "inner hip" muscles...Which I figure can't be good, at least if you can 'judge' from how it usually is with other 'muscle-pairs' - such as your core-muscles in particular, for ex.).
Anyway, I've tried and also have strengthened my core-muscles (abs and lower back) - but still, can't seem to totally get rid of the occasional lower back pains.
So - I'll try the exercise "knee against the wall": too hopefully and once and for all get rid of my occasional lower back pain.
So, thank you for the tip @martingray - and thank you very much for the video "Precision Movement" (I have a feeling that it will work, especially since strengthening my 'core-muscles' haven't really helped, and also since I now know that my outer-hip-muscles are weak - at least comparably to the other muscles.
Thanks again, and greetings from Sweden!
That first exercise helped my HIP PAIN tremendously. I do it daily now and stopped doing the “soft tissue work” recommended by my PT and my hips are pretty much fixed, I’m squatting again and feeling stronger and more stable in split squats and lunges. 🙏
Nice work!
We really appreciate you taking the time to try the exercises and to let us know abou it.
We are here if you ever need more advice or assistance :)

My right knee has been clicking every time I go up the steps for several months. The other day I was doing a hike and took a spill and that right knee and hip made a strong internal rotation. I was fine shook it off kept going on the hike. When I got home and I went up the stairs, I noticed the clicking was gone. After extensive googling, I found this TH-cam video and the 9090 lift off Simulated my fall. Now whenever that clicking kicks in again, I jump right into the 9090 lift off and instantly it stops clicking. I am so grateful for this information.
That is a cool discovery :)
Thanks for trying out our exercises!

This is the most sensible PT channel I've found to date, and somehow you have videos on all my particular ailments. Keep it up!
Wow!
Thanks for letting us know that :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Words cannot explain how invaluable your videos are to me. You are teaching me that yes the pain is manageable, yes we can exercise control over and manage the pain. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Thank you sir, time to start doing these and keep those who experience the same pain, updated
:)
Thank you for addressing this oft neglected piece of a puzzle for those who have had knee surgery and have used external rotation to avoid pain.
You are welcome!
Yes, I second the gratitude @Precision Mont
@@copydiva58 Thanks :)
Great video, this is exactly what I’m needing. Life long tennis player & golfer with chronic knee issues. Ty I’ll keep you posted.
:)
Man your the best keep teaching us all this we need more people like you. Have a blessed Friday man
Thanks, you too!
Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤
It is our pleasure :)
When I was a preteen, I went to physical therapy because I have knee valgus. My knees almost completely straightened out after going there for a while! It was incredible but I didn’t keep up with my exercises because I was a kid and didn’t realize the importance. So as an adult my knees are wacked out again and they hurt sometimes and my hips hurt sometimes and I know I need to actually do something about it so this video is extremely helpful! I want to have my full range of motion in my hips. I’m 23. I shouldn’t have to live like this
You definitely do not need to live like this. You did it before and you can do it again.

I learned more than I've ever known about hip rotation in this one video. Thank you!
Happy to help :)
Thanks Eric for clear and concise treatment for hip rotation. I recently experienced pain in my right knee and hip during running. Doing these exercises I noticed there is a lot of tightness in my left hip rotation. Looking forward to pain free runs again. Thanks heaps

I tried this while watching the video and got immediate back pain relief !!
Thank you so much for making this video 👍

Thank you - very well explained and well spoken. Appreciate the video
Thanks for watching :)
An aspect of motion I did not know of, and now understand. Thank you!
So happy that you found us and that you appreciate the material.
Let us know if you have any more questions :)
LOVE it! Not many highly advertised close chain exercises for internal rotation! Thank you🤘
Many thanks for that.
We really appreciate you watching and commenting :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Very strategic exercises for every sport!
So true!
You just helped me detect the reason for my knee pain of the last three years! After surgery and countless physical therapists thank you so much man I’m about to get to work
So happy to help!
Anytime I suspect something for a chronic injury through my own movement research, I discover that you’ve already made a video that goes into depth on why that is and how to fix it. You are always ahead of the curve in your PT content - appreciate everything. Wish you had an office in NYC!
Great minds think alike :)
Excellent! Thank you!
You are welcome!
100% spot on and love the scientific data. I was having some issue on my left knee and noticed it lacked the same internal rotation as my right leg. Another symptom was my right leg's adductor/groin started to feel pain after playing soccer. After doing some mobility (what you called 90degree liftoff) both problems seem to resolve. It's interesting how just getting the joint to move into full range can fix downstream and opposite side issues.
Thanks for trying it out :)
Thank you, Coach E
I'm gonna try these because you helped my shoulder twice! 👏👏
Perfect!
This video helped me a lot more than any other video i watched so far thanks
Glad to hear it!
Always excellent info!! 🔥🔥
Glad you think so!
Good video. Good correction exercises and great summarization through the video
Glad that you liked it and thanks for following along :)
Going to start these this weekend! Thanks brother!
You are welcome and how are you now?
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Fantastic instruction and demonstration of the third exercise in the video. Facilitating movement by pivoting off the heal and rotating the leg as warm up before performing the exercise primes the body for the movement pattern well.
Glad it was helpful!
This is what I need to do. Thank you!
Thanks for trying it out!
I like your hip mobility program Eric!
Thanks!
This is what I need ! Thank you !
So glad that you found it!
I love how you explain what muscles you're using and where you should be feeling it. I have hip and shoulder/upper back imbalances and in my experience just being told, do this exercise isn't always good enough because when compensating you might be still using the wrong muscles for the job. Always important to know what your doing and why and I feel you do an excellent job of explaining these. Thank you for what you do, it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for your wonderful comments.
It's people like you who drive our efforts. I assure you that we will keep doing what we are doing :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
You did a great job of explaining how I've felt doing exercises in the past. Without a coach I feel like im still using the wrong muscles to force the movement rather than use the weak muscles I'm meant to be using.
Great excercises! Thank you 😊
Glad you like them!
This is EXACTLY WHAT was happening to me! The pain was waking me up at night! These exercises are amazing felt the relief! Thank you so much!
So happy to read that :)
You're so welcome!
That's what I needed. Thank you so much😊 Love from Poland!
So glad!
Excellent exercises. I don’t currently have knee issues but I’ve known of a definite asymmetry between left and right when it comes to internal/external rotation and I am so happy to have these ingenious, mindful movements with which to work. Thank you. Generous of you to offer them here.
Happy to help!
Does these helped or some other workouts....as i have the same problem so i wanna know
This is great. As an athlete I can say that these exercises are golden for us and anybody experiencing lack of mobility or knee/ankle/hip pain.
Most of these are even taught by strength coaches for profesional teams. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel (sketchy TikTok/TH-cam exercises) thank you for this video.
Much, much, sooooooo much appreciated.
This is 100% why we do this stuff.
Your comment validates our efforts :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
I have been having the hip, leg, knee problem from sitting too much. I knew the hip/leg joint area was super tight. And I also had inner leg section that gets sore. I think you nailed the cause of my problem. I will try these exercises!
Let us know how it goes :)
Great video. Love the detailed approach!
:)
Yo! I dont know how the algorithm knew that i needed this video, but this just changed my life! I always had trouble with my knees but my biggest problem was the pain i had while i was sitting. At work i was constantly moving aorund in my chair because i couldnt handle the uncomfortable feeling. I was never able to pin down the problem until just now...After the second excercise i had an ecstasy like feeling in my legs, hip and lower back. I feel like a ton of weight got lifted of my shoulders! Thank you so much! I will keep doing the excercises and keep you posted.
Yussssss!
That is so great to read.
For sure keep us posted on your progress :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thanks for putting this out for free, you are doing a Gods work. God bless you ❤️💪
:)
Great video, very informative and helpful thx
Glad it was helpful!
Your thumbnail caught my attention. That’s the exact pain point on my hip when I do 90-90. I did the first exercise and it fired my TLF and hip flexor. Huge difference between my left weak and right strong hip. After one round, it made a huge difference when I did 90-90 again. No more tightness. Thank you!
Same that’s why I clicked! I cannot even get into 9090, not even slightly. Feels like a bone where the thumbnail shows is literally blocking me from internally rotating.
Amazing!
Thanks for trying it out and commenting :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
One week in and it's helping me a lot.
Thank you
Glad to hear that!
excellent stuff, as always!
Glad that you think so :)
Great video, very well explained and excellent exercise choice. Very informative for a very common issue.
Thanks for that :)
Great video! Thanks 🙏
My pleasure!
Excellent information, thanks.

Great exercises, particularly knee against the wall internal to external rotation. Like a tonic for my hips .
Thanks for trying it out :)

For someone with fibromyalgia these exercises are great. With so many stiff muscles causing snaps and pain and cramps it is really hard to figure out what muscle/s are the ones causing discomfort. Your videos are clear and easy to follow.
Thanks for sharing!
Looking forward to these 3 exercises. Last evening went on a 5k fast paced walk and noticed by the end of walk a pull along right outer thigh to back of calf. All kinds of possibilities came to mind. Hope you can help.
Let us know how they go :)
thank you
Thank You. Very useful.
Glad to hear that!

You are a God send Co Chief! You're my healer. I've got knee and I think itb tightness and I know partly because my sleeping weak hips since I'm always sitting. I feel it extremely when doing this exercise and with you teaching it I know It will improve and is correct!
Glad to help :)
You may not have intended this, but VERY helpful for us equestrians trying to keep our toes pointed forward in the saddle (forward toes come from properly rotated hips). Thanks!
Cool!
Can’t wait to try the 90/90 lifts and the hip internal rotation. Been having pain and tightness on right hip only. Been trying psoas stretch but still have tightness and pain.
Let us know how it goes :)
So helpful, thank you!
I wonder how this works for seated rotational sports, such as outrigger paddling, kayaking and canoeing
You are welcome and it should help with those sports :)

I can tell this is what I need to work on. I wrecked my right hamstring months ago and I'm actually having to learn how to walk normally again. The right leg exercise immediately strained my hamstring and the left leg exercise made my left hip all wonky. :) It will be a slow start for me but it is a very simple exercise to remember. Thank you!
You are welcome and let us know how it goes :)
Thank you!😊
You're welcome 😊
Wonderful. I was sore in the areas mentioned by you the next day but I hope that this can alleviate the sliding issue of my kneecap, which takes me from full functionality to ten per cent.
Hi and sorry for the late reply.
How are you now?

These exercises are excellent.
Thanks for posting a video that clearly shows and explains what to do and why.

I've been having pain on the medial side of my left knee especially at night when lying down. I also knew that I have poor hip mobility, especially internal rotation. Thank you for making this connection! I just tried the first exercise and immediately my hips were cramping up. I can't even do the 90/90 lift offs on the left side. I love the feeling of figuring out exactly what is wrong, thank you for this video and very easy to understand explanation and exercises!
