I'm 54 and close to needing a hip replacement. I have done yoga, core work, and butt and low back strengthening, and nothing has helped. I have been doing this for last few days and I already feel my hip is more open. Not pain free yet, but think I'm close. Everyone younger reading this. Do this mobility stuff now. This was not a thing when I was in my 20s. Thank you Doc.
Been trying to get back into kickboxing for literally a year after 6 years. My left hip is locked tf up. Been going to a fysiotherapist and using this guy’s routines, they absolutely work.
Unbelievable results. I’m a 27 year old male, athletic shape, but work at a desk have had hip clicks for over 10 years. Tried everything, no results. 5 minutes of this and it’s gone, internal mobility substantially increased. Incredible
I just gave a “super thanks” to this video. I was struggling with FAI and a hip labrum tear and had been working through PT for a month with no progress but lots of hard work. When I started doing the hip distraction following this hip mobility routine that is when my progress started. I have been doing this Hip Mobility Routine and the Top 4 Strength and Stability Hip Exercises and the How to Fix Hip Impingement videos for the past month and I definitely think this the main factor in my ability to walk without a limp and try to get back to activities. THANK YOU. I like, many of the commenters, would wake up in tears not being able to walk without pain with no path to recovery in sight. I would be in tears telling my PT that I didn’t feel like I was making progress. What I really like about these videos is that they are straight to the point and don’t spend half the video trying to sell remote visits. I certainly don’t mind information if I were interested (and I’m sure many people are - and if I lived closer I would travel to see him) but not half the video. I know that a hip replacement is probably in my future by I’m hoping to delay it as long as possible. Thank you Dr. Horschig. You are the best on the internet and I have looked at all the FAI / Hip Labrum Tear videos that exist on the planet!
I've been having knee pain for a while. I watched his video 'How To Evaluate Knee Pain (Tendonitis or Patellofemoral Pain?)' and found out I had imbalances in my hip mobility. Came to this vid, did the exercises, knee pain is much better even after one session. Dude knows his stuff.
I can’t thank you enough for this video! Been struggling with hip pain for around 6-7 years now. Went to the chiropractor/physical therapist last year which helped but I still had hip pain when trying to squat or deadlift. After using the bands I’m now pain free after squat and dead day, when I’m usually in constant uncomfortable pain for DAYS….thank you !
@@alexz.8302 honestly I felt better after the first couple of days then it started getting better week by week. I’m still squatting and deadlifting pain free , the bands have been incredible. I have deep sockets so they really help to loosen and mobilize the joints
I was looking around for knee pain relief and thought I would try this It literally went away, I was in shock I will incorporate this into my warm up Thank you sooo much, your a lifesaver
Superb explanations, I have been suffering for 5.5 years from hip pain in the proximal part of the joint. I consulted a physiotherapist who relieved me to 90-95% of my suffering. For the past 2 months, I have been discovering the Squat academy which completely fulfills my needs in learning the right movement. Scientific, medical and sporting explanations, oriented towards and for movement. Excellent video.
Does it actually "Fix' the problem or just provide symptomatic relief so that you can do 15 minutes of squats and lunges? When I say 'Fix', did it work for you in managing long term pain? I only need mobility to drive a motor bike and walk. Im afraid, if it might end up worsening the joints and pain
@@coolrocksounds sorry to hear about your tear. I just tried today and after 4 hours sides of my thighs and side hips are hurting. I don’t want to complicate things any further. Scared to be honest as MRI suggested early stage arthritis. Can I keep doing these stretches ?
This is the first stretch that has ever worked for me. All other internal hips stretches just hurt and didnt really help. This stretch immediately reduced any tightness in my back and my hips actually feel amazing. Thank you, ive been struggling since high school with tight hips and i was worried id have issues in my 40+ years (in my 30s).
Brother you are killing the game, we all want to be jacked and look good and be strong but you give us the true foundation of recovery and longevity God bless you
In the middle of an exercise routine that required hip mobility (which I lacked), I looked up hip mobility from squat U and am so glad and grateful I found this content. Aside from these exercises immediately helping with the above exercises, it also fixed a pop sound I heard for many years whenever I lifted my knee above my hip. No more issue. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Holy moly this freaking works. I was unable to squat with my body weight but after doing these exercises as a warm up I could squat with 15kg load on a barbell. Posting this comment after my first set. You are a real life saver doc.
Nevermind the top Info, I love seeing you and Kelly support each other, there's some shitty people who throw shade in strength/fitness, you and Kelly are both class acts
Absolutely amazing!💎✨ I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Using the band and doing these movements have made a huge difference for me in just a couple of weeks.
I have limited ankle mobility due to breaking my leg, so hip mobility is everything to me. Just tried this today and my hips felt great. I notice greater hip mobility at depth with my squat. Will be doing these from now on, before squats and deadlifts. Very easy to do so try it! Thank you Doctor!
WOWW!! This is crazy. I just had this crazy feeling as if I injected mint into my bloodstream from my hips to my lower back then down to my cavs I feel so relaxed and it feels cold and minty. This is crazy
I tried today after spending at least a month on watching over 100s of videos. 4 years on pain. I felt immediate relief after the stretch. but 2 hours later I actually had more pain.. How has it helped in the longer run?
@@techBuffy and how its going? I am struggling with hip pain for 10 months (after heavy squat) and also getting same results. Feeling perfect afyer stretch but later pain comes back
@@grzesiekfk969 I had surgery. It’s been one year. For people like me who are not the fittest and have desk jobs , it’s not worth it to try these extreme stretches. I truly believe I tore something when I did this. My symptoms went from being manageable to being bad to being unbearable. And I gave up and had surgery. I had huge pincers that were shaved. And my labrum was repaired. It’s taken one year but I no longer feel pain while sitting or driving . Side sleeping is still a mess. Not to mention how bad my lower back had become prior and after the surgery. But now I can sit for many hours
32 and hips have been getting worse for years. Couldnt sit cross legged at one point. While ive improved in heaps of ways the aches and pains are more of a thing now. But this banded set of movements felt amazing.
I’ve been watching heaps of videos and I wish there would be people like you here. I’ve seen so many doctors and chiropractors and physio therapists and I’ve been stretching for 8 weeks. No difference the day after. I’ve done this today and I could finally sit cross legged and get into a deep squat. If I want those to last do you recommend anything with those mobilizations or will the capsule get bigger with time?? Thanks so much man you’re a legend
I'm going to try this tonight. I STRUGGLE to be able to abduct my legs as far as I want to be able to for bench press, and I know that's detrimental to the set up and it takes FOREVER to get them loosened up I. going to deadlift tonight,so I'm going to give this a go. I'm also going to make sure I work mobility everyday from now on. My 50 year old mom hips are stubborn.
Regarding general recovery, what are tell-tale signs that the body can tell us so we move on from recovery routines and start incorporating strengthening routines and workouts?
This channel deserves more views and subscriptions. There's so much great stuff here. I had a question regarding mobility in the squat and deadlift. I'm doing a 365 workout challenge (workout everyday) I'm aware this is ill advised and doesn't allow for super compensation and increases my risk for Injury. I still want to squat and deadlift and workout. Can I do my exercises with.mobility restrictions and implement mobility work gradually? Or should I fix the form altogether first?
Nice tutorial but would you have an alternative routine that can be done without the elastic band (i.e. no material at all and using body weight)? Greetings from Sweden
after years of physiotherapy you still helped me the most thanks for that! I live for many years without cruciate ligament (torn 5 times) and have developed over time a bad posture (probably by sitting a lot). Your video for a more stable knee has already helped me a lot! However, my hip is also totally immobile on one side (the healthier side on which I often stood too much). It is noticeably better through the exercise, but when I tense my butt strongly, something audibly pops in the hip. Do I have to worry about cartilage damage in the hip socket due to too much pressure?
Will this mobility drill help improve hip internal rotation permanently for daily living or is it geared more towards a temporary fix before squatting and deadlifting? How does it compare to other exercises like the hip airplane for improving hip internal rotation?
Hi , many thanks for this video. I d'ont know if you can help me. I have a problem when i wake up in the morning , my lower back is very sore . Its difficult for me to stand up to brush my teeth. But after some movements its ok . I can do my exercices , all the hips mobility the piriformis exercices. . Thanks . Patrick from Mauritius.
I must be a fucking idiot because I swear I’m doing this wrong even though I follow the instructions to a T. Also after doing this, I don’t need to walk for 5 minutes to warm up, this alone gets me fired up.
Would you consider doing a video on imbalanced tight hamstrings/hip issues? I'm going to PT this month to figure out the issue (tight left hamstring that I believe is causing overcompensation and therefore lower back pain) but I love your videos and value your insight and routines!

Perhaps I don't have a surface with enough friction but when I do this I get pulled around the place by the band. I've tried thicker ones and lighter ones but I can never get Into a position to stretch without having to fight to stay in the same place
Can this help with glutous medius pain? I currently don't get pain when squatting However, I feel the pain on my left glutous medius when I rotate my left foot outward while walking. Thus, I have learned to properly just keep my feet straight foward instead of having them outward in anyway. Since I still have to deal with some pain at times or significant stress in that area, are there any specific effective exercises that can strengthen that area? I done a lot of hip external rotation stretches and that seems to significantly relieve pain but when I go back to doing certain physical activities I trigger the pain back.

How heavy is the resistance band you use in this video? Tysm for your work 🙂↕️
In regard to the proper placement of the band. Should the band be pulling the femur both laterally and posteriorly?
This did increase mobility but a lot of inflammation in my hips. I wasn't able to squat after due to the front of my hips being inflamed
Will this fix lower back pain?? Bcz i feel the pain between hips and lower back i have alot of pain while deadlifting hope u reply God bless u sir
Love Your tutorials. Do You know anything as valuable but for bench pressing?
Amazin
2:22 squeeze and relax
Then retest
How much tension should be on the band
Does this help for flexibility for the sumo deadlift?
I might even try this on rest-days as well.
Great for active recovery.
Doctor, You offer a course online??
Can we perform this without a band??
thank you
Why does adding more tension to the band reduce the pinching pain in the hip?
Would you consider doing a video on imbalanced tight hamstrings/hip issues? I'm going to PT this month to figure out the issue (tight left hamstring that I believe is causing overcompensation and therefore lower back pain) but I love your videos and value your insight and routines!

Hi i have limited hip flexion and pain in the front in my hip is this exercices good for me or no and thank you from algeria

How tight should that band be pulling on the hip?
Can this be beneficial for runners with achey clicky hips?
Is this safe for someone who’s had a hip replacement??
Hello Doctor, I love your videos so much they are so helpful,
I start do these warmups before squat or DL, but I still feel pain in my left hip joint , I've tested the ankle too, it is OK but not just like the right side!
if I do the warmup in squat day, I can do my squat fine, but in the second day I still feel they pain or discomfort feeling, note that most of my day I'm setting at work!!
any advises for this?
2nd question: what can we do for the flat foot?
3rd I feel that I have problem in my left side from the ankle to the shoulder!! all joints, and muscles are weaker than the right side.. any advise too?
