Thank you, Lucas. I had a severe labral tear a few years ago and couldn’t walk for 3 days without extreme pain, but once the pain subsided, I started going for walks every other day and then started yoga. My doctor wanted me to have surgery, but I didn’t. Yoga cured me.
I had a severe hip labral tear and cartilage was hanging in the wind, where I was in so much pain that I needed surgery. I was out of work for 12 weeks and on crutches or 6 weeks. Physical therapy was 3 times a week and was amazingly helpful. I was so amazed how much work went into the building up of muscles in the hip and surrounding area. These exercises in this video are what was taught to me in physical therapy and what I still use years later to keep my hips strong. I make sure that I build up my hip flexor muscles to avoid injury.
Hi Jennifer, did your hips click at the joint doing the exercises (doggie leg lift) mine clicks when I do this move and was wondering if that was a bad thing or not. Thanks. @yogabody.official
About a week ago, I have a Hip Lebral Tear. Three days ago, I walked like an old Grandpa with pain and a burn on my leg. Amazingly, today after doing the Isometric Wall Sit on a tree, I felt my walk was much easier, and could walk fast. I walk 3 km today. I also did Standing Fire Hydrants and Toe Painting, but the one exercise that gives benefit instantly is Isometric Wall Sit. Thank you very much, Lucas. Glad find your channel 🙏
I hope to heaven this will help because I’m 41 with EDS and since I had a clot in 2021, the hip degenerative conditions got worse and left me housebound 90% of the time. I’ve tried just about everything imaginable.
I tore my labrum in November last year doing weighted lunges. It was the worse pain ever. It was missed diagnosed until just recently we thought it was a high hamstring tear. But it never got better. I’m literally only in pain when in a seated position or if I lay down too long. Driving and using the bathroom is the worst right now. I’ve undergone an A2M and Bone Marrow shot to help repair and rebuild my labrum. I’m getting a tiny bit of relief when my leg is stretched and rotated from the hip joint in PT. Thank you for these exercises I’m adding them to my daily regime morning and night.
I dislocated my left hip when I was a teenager. It has ached throughout my life. I’ve had X-rays and they say it’s fine. Now I think I’ve found my answer. I’ll try the exercises and follow up with my doctor.
Dealing with a LT Hip Labral tear as of this writing. I've been down almost four weeks: I cannot sit or stand for any appreciable time (~ :5-:15min maximally). MRI revealed a full-thickness labral tear, waiting now for an EMG and a steroid joint injection. At 52 years old, the plan is conservative therapy, as surgery is likely to hasten the need for a total hip replacement. I will certainly be attempting these today.
Thank you Lucas. I injured my hip in May 2021, and today am going to the doctor, and today your email arrived on this hip labrum injury. I did the video exercises and will continue. I did your 21 day hip challenge a few years ago was fabulous, and I need to continue. I hope my injury is not something more serious.
Thank you so much for the video and for stating that my body can heal itself. Nowhere else have I heard this! Pain killers and surgery, possibly exercise can help - when I suggested it! I am an advocate for self healing and movement, so this is brilliant. Thank you. X😊
Excellent explanation, and I love your positive take on that. Yes, the body can regenerate, even if it takes a little time. Thank you for sharing this!
Wonderful and timely! Thank you. I can’t do any of the exercises on the opposite side, it hurts too much to bear the full weight on my painful hip, so I guess I’ll just do the one side for now, I can however do the wall squats! Praying for progress now.
Mine is messed up too. Been dealing with this for 30 years! In fact, when I got it, they didn’t even know what a labrum was. Now I have to do the exercises and wait for surgery. 😢
Thank you for this GREAT video. Torn labrum, dysplasia and grade 4 chondromalacia in left hip. These exercise already felt beneficial on first try. Your video was so clear and to the point, and very well spoken and explained. Thanks again. Will be following for more. Mark Ps… if you like fishing, you might enjoy my channel. And see that I’m probably destroying my hips with too many hours on the pedal kayak (along with a million miles run and a million hours on the tennis courts). Ugh. Going to heal!!! Thanks again
Thanks for explaining why we use exercise to heal labral tears. I modified your first exercise to avoid pain. Ballet teachers say to do this first exercise with feet turned out to open up the hip which provides more space in the hip to round the leg from front, to side, to back. I could do your exercise with better comfort from pain by turning the foot out.
Thanks for the detailed moves to strengthen my hips. I have been swimming to do the same things, but I can't always make it to the river. These exercises do the same thing as the froggie kicks and scissor kicks I do in the water.
This came at just the right time. I’ve been limping for 3 years, just got my MRI results back and hoping for surgery. I’m not so sure I can actually do any of these but willing to give it a go. Thanks!!
@@umit777. so I’m just recuperating from hip replacement surgery due osteoarthritis. I’m on my 3rd week post op and in my late 50’s. I was quite literally bone on bone with no cartilage left. The pain I was in was almost unbearable but now I no longer suffer from lower back pain or knee pain. I used to go to the chiropractor for adjustments all the time but don’t think I need any of that anymore. On the road to recovery!!
How did you know that suddenly it was my hip hurting? Finishing the happy back challenge and looking forward to the flexibility coach training next month. Thank you, Lucas! (My son’s name!)
I was just told I have a labral tear, the ortho said it was a small cyst. Going to PT in two weeks, but I will get started on these, thank you. There are times that I cannot engage my hip to move…definitely a weird feeling.
I have a hip labral tear and FAI. The advice is hip replacement surgery. At 67, I am trying really hard to kick that can down the road another couple of years if possible.
Given your situation, focusing on improving hip flexibility and strength through targeted exercises might help manage symptoms and delay surgery.

I suffered for 17 years agofrom a horrible pain in my hip labral. No doctor could diagnose the pain cause. Only the physiotherapy was able to diagnose the issue. I am finally better and have less pain.
Some of your vids have been pretty helpful. Do you have any more labral tear specific stretches or strengthening exercises that would make sitting and walking more comfortable?
This is helpful. I've been dealing with for a couple of years w/ PT and cortisine shot. Doc says to avoid yoga, and I'm so sad bc yoga was so important for me. Could you do a video on what poses to avoid? I can't seem to find any videos on what yoga poses or stretches I should be avoiding with this injury. Thank you!
Thank you it's very very useful as I am suffering last 3 years as it's progress but not completely heal yet. Please let me know how long it's normally take to complete recovery as it's impacting quality of life.
Recovery time for a hip labral tear can vary. It's best to consult with your doctor l for personalized advice. They can assess your specific situation and provide guidance on your recovery journey. - YOGABODY Team
Excellent video .Currently rehabing a complex labrum tear to avoid surgery, and this looks like it will really help. Also, Lucas, where did you get your shoes? I want a pair!
I'm guessing that even without this tear, these exercises will be good for getting the s-fluid moving? I've done the hip and happy back challenges (continuing as I love them both) and discovered my right hip has something stopping it from full mobility. Hoping this will help. Thanks!
I've had a labrum tear for many years and it took many years to find a PT who knew what I was describing and helping me through this dabilitating pain. I had some scar tissue from my quad and hip area that we got through. I finally am pain free and can walk but still feel vulnerable in this area. I can finally lift my knee up to almost 90 degrees. I'm a bit apprehensive to put a load on it, but it seems like this would help. Since I've had this injury for many years, can I expect to improve on this old injury? I'm a 69 yo female.
Question. You said to do this daily to help accelerate healing. Let’s say it helps and heals the injury. What time frame might that happen? 2 weeks? 6 weeks? 12 weeks? 6 months? My chiropractor just told me yesterday he suspected I had a tear and I’d love to get healed up!!
Unfortunately, there's no one-size-fits-all answer for healing timelines. Injuries vary, so it's best to consult with a doctor or physical therapist for a specific timeframe. The exercises can definitely support healing, but focus on listening to your body and don't push through pain. - YOGABODY Team
Thank you for the video with excellent descriptions. I have a labral tear. Been doing the routine for about a week (once a day and stay within the guidelines to not feel pain). Is it normal for the hip to be sore? Woke up with a dull ache last night. Is that a good pain or should I take a couple days off?
Hi, just saw your comment from a year ago and wondering how you're doing with the labral tear and if you have recovered. I hope you are better. I have a tear too, so am interested to know. Would appreciate any feedback, thankyou! Lynette 😊
😊 thank you very much I have a torn hip labrum on my left hip I just did these exercises thank you I have a hip replacement on my right hip are these ok to do?
It's advisable to consult with your doctor regarding exercises after hip replacement surgery to ensure your safety. If given approval, start slowly, lower the intensity and listen to your body. - YOGABODY Team
Looking forward to trying these. I started doing some simple impact exercises to strengthen bones. Things like jumping jacks, side skips, lunges, deep squats. All of a sudden the pain and weakness right in that area, and it feels like my rotator cuff tear. I dont want surgery on that either ! Question - are these exercises ok to do with SI joint issues present as well ? I feel like a mess. Tried to do something good ....
Question: Do you have a problem with swimming, at the beginning phase of healing a torn Labrum? Im talking about just a few gentle laps in a long pool.
Hi Zorak, just read your comment from a year ago and wondering how you are now?. I have a left hip labral tear, chronic gluteal teninosis and trochanteric bursitis too. I'm in pain everyday, if I stand too long or go walking, have to stop and sit to get some relief. Been doing Physiotherapy but hasn't got any better. Am going to see a surgeon to get an opinion if I need arthroscopic surgery. I don't really want surgery but I don't see how a tear can heal on its own. Would appreciate and love to know what you have done and if you are healed now. I hope you are! 😊
If the labrum is torn, it means it is has torn off the hip socket bone. You need to surgically reattach it with special anchors, it cannot reattach on its own. Some people with minor labral tears and minor symptoms improve with rest, strengthening program. Even if their labrum is still torn, they will feel better. It doesn't mean the labrum has healed, it has not. It means the exercises and muscle strengthening are keeping the hip stable and strong. More severe labral tears will need surgery.
You're correct that a torn labrum can't heal without surgery. However, strengthening exercises can stabilize the hip and reduce symptoms, even with a tear. Severe tears usually require surgical repair. - YOGABODY Team
@@YOGABODY.Official Mine were severe. The first one was so bad to the point I could not longer sit normally or walk. I also did an intense strengthening program both before, and after surgery which helped (I was able to push a lot more after the surgery as anatomy was restored and pain gone).
I'm sorry but it just isn't medically possible for the labrum to repair without surgery. Adults do not have the ability to regrow cartilage. I agree it's important to keep moving and within your limits, but it's just plain incorrect to suggest that getting the synovial fluid moving will illicit regrowth and healing. It just won't.
Hi just read your comment and what you say is what I am lead to believe, that a labral tear won't actually heal on its own, it needs to be stitched, arthroscopic surgery. I have a tear and would love to heal it naturally if I could, but from what I've heard it's impossible. Have you or someone you know had this injury? Would appreciate any feedback, thankyou! 😊
What is your source? Ive looked at the literature and its not a black and white answer and correct me if Im wrong but give me some sources. Im 76 yrs and 10 months along after a complete tear and have 95% of my mobility back. I also do yoga and tai chi and kayak on nice days. This is an excellent video by an excellent teacher. ❤❤
@@LynetteMaffescionihip labrum tear is different from meniscus (knee) tear. If the labrum is torn it means it has torn off / away from the hip socket bone where it's supposed to be attached to. So there is now a gap in there. Broken pieces of the labrum cartilage can get caught when you move and cause inflammation and pain. If the tear is large enough it is impossible to heal naturally or with injections, you need to reattach it surgically. If the tear is tiny and pain little you may get away with rest and physiotherapy to improve your symptoms. I have had two surgeries (both hips). Tried rest and rehab before my first surgery and it was a failure. The tears were too big.
Why are you not mentioning the role phys therapy - really "muscle strengthening" plays in gaining back your abilities - without surgery and even WITH SURGERY!!?? Yes it's required and super important even with surgery!! Load bearing is in the muscles and tissues not the bone and cartilage!
These first two always makes the labrum side feel better always But switching sides negates all that when standing on the labrum side for support. Does that mean something else is going on?
It's interesting that the first two exercises bring relief. If the issue persists or worsens, it might be helpful to consult with a doctor. They can provide a more accurate assessment and guidance based on your individual case. - YOGABODY Team
Would your 21 day hip challenge be safe and beneficial for someone who has not been diagnosed, but suspects a labral tear and/or Periformis syndrome? Grace
Grace, it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider, but many find stretching beneficial. Our challenge could offer some relief, but listen to your body. - YOGABODY Team
My experience- I was diagnosed with a tear following accidentally being pinned in splits. Worst pain ever!! Dr said steroid shots would likely be the only treatment. Said it probably wouldn’t heal because there isn’t enough blood flow. I ran. Just kept running. Within a couple of weeks all pain was gone. This was about 15 years ago. No symptoms since.
thanks Lucas, I'm a yoga and movement person who had a brief dislocation of the left femur out of the hip socket resulting in a labral tear. I enjoy doing deep squats and the horse pose. It's been 3 months since my injury and do you have any thoughts on jumping back into squats, horse poses? All I do is freestyle swim in the ocean now. Thank you.
Hello, just wondering if the hip labral tear explained in your video is the same focal tear involving the anterosuperior right acetabular labrum. I've been considering changing my physio.
I have a torn labrum in both hips. I also suffer from chronic back pain. I’ve had 5 back surgeries, two were fusions. My back has deteriorated even more and I’m having a 3rd fusion on 9/19. They’re fusing S1 through T10. I’m not sure how to repair the torn labrum’s.
i had one when i was younger like 25, didnt rehabilitate it very well or my efforts didnt work. now im 38 and it still feels loose. no pain. just kind of uncomfortable and loose, affects my athleticism greatly. wonder if im destined for surgery or if theres somehow i can fix it to get rid of loose/lax feeling.
If you have a hip labral tear that feels loose and uncomfortable without pain, rehabilitation exercises and physical therapy could potentially help improve stability and reduce discomfort. Consult with a specialist to explore non-surgical options before considering surgery. - YOGABODY Team
Tore the labrum 3 weeks ago. Anyone on here experience a week and a half of not too much pain then on the third week intense pain? Everything I’m reading from Doctors states this is normal but curious to see if anyone’s experienced it themselves like me.
Labrum tears typically do not heal on their own. It's advisable to consult your doctor for personalized recommendations based on your specific condition and symptoms. - YOGABODY Team
so i won't damage it more? i've had pain for 6 months. Stopped most of my workouts because of the pain & not knowing what was causing it. got MRI after 5 months. still waiting to go to ortho. i started tai chi today, your moves seem like tai chi. i could only do a few moves today. if a doctor would of talked to me i could of started this sooner. googling did not give workout answers
Hello Vicki - it's certainly possible it could make it worse. Never push through pain, back off -1 step from discomfort. Tai Chi sounds like a great idea.
Hi Vicki, just read your comment from a year ago and wondering how you are now, if you are healed and what you did. I have a labral tear and have had pain for 8 months that got worse overtime and now can't even go for a walk without pain, or stand up too long. Did you have surgery?. I hope you are healed. Thanks Lynette 😊
Hi Sherry. For a torn hip labrum with overlapping, it refers to a condition where there's a tear in the labrum, the ring of cartilage that follows the outside rim of the socket of your hip joint. This tear can cause overlapping or displacement of the torn pieces, leading to increased pain and stiffness. It's essential to combine rest, physical therapy, and possible medical interventions. Strengthening exercises can reduce stress and improve flexibility, but consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice is crucial. - YOGABODY Team
Question: When performing the fire hydrant exercise, is it ok if there is a click in the hip when doing the dog lift. Is it ok to click when doing the hacky sack move (last move)? I do click in those 2 areas
Hello Tricia - clicking hips is pretty normal, usually nothing to worry about but nothing to ignore either. Try to do full range of motion before to see if you can unclick it.
I live in Tbilisi, I couldn’t come to the truth, I saw 3 doctors, all three prescribed me coxarthrosis, I have no pain in the cartilage, no problems. but one doctor tells me that somewhere there is bone growth and this means coxarthrosis. The second doctor tells me that the sclerotic fossa is coxarthrosis. The third one simply writes coxarthrosis. I’ve been depressed for 4 months now, I can’t return to normal life. I couldn't get to the truth. Emerte's video I want to see where can I send it to you?
We can't give medical advice, we recommend seeking a second opinion from a specialist or sports doctor who can give you a clearer diagnosis. - YOGABODY Team
Physio can only help it a little but at end of the day it will Just get worse I a have delayed surgery for 3 years did physio and I am still in pain can’t go jogging anymore can’t to dead lifts or squats can’t go cycling it’s a nightmare so I emailed surgeon told him I will do the surgery next month
Hi, would love to know how you got on with your surgery please! As you said and I think too, surgery is inevitable. I'm all for trying to heal naturally, but if it's a tear it won't heal without being stitched. I hope you have recovered! 😊
P.S. Meant to say I have a hip labral tear too, the doctor wants me to have cortisone injections, but I think it's a waste of time, as it's not going to heal it.
This is not working for me. I have been doing these every evening for about 3 weeks but no change, ugh. I can not get help from doctors so i6s very challenging
Not sure if I have a hip labrum tear but I've been getting pretty intense pain at the bottom of a squat or deadlift. It's in the butt/hip area (basically, I looked at an anatomy chart and think it's the hip labrum based on where I'm feeling the pain). When I squat heavy, I'll do a quarter squat until I reach the point where it hurts, then a half squat, back up and then go down and I can usually do my set with minimal pain once I have done these partial reps. Could you confirm if this is a hip labrum tear?
It's important to have this checked by a healthcare professional. Symptoms like pain in the hip or buttock area during specific movements can suggest a variety of issues and only a medical examination, potentially including imaging tests like an MRI, can confirm this diagnosis. - YOGABODY Team
Hi Lucas, big fan here! I have a question for you related to the hamstring injury. Would you know if Cosentyx, a biologic anti inflammatory injection would have been delaying my healing and causing my tendons to be all crunchy and weirdly textured? Thanks for your help.
Thank you, Lucas. I had a severe labral tear a few years ago and couldn’t walk for 3 days without extreme pain, but once the pain subsided, I started going for walks every other day and then started yoga. My doctor wanted me to have surgery, but I didn’t. Yoga cured me.
I couldn't walk for 1 year without pain, 3 days is nothing. Lucky you! Lol

Excellent video .Currently rehabing a complex labrum tear to avoid surgery, and this looks like it will really help. Also, Lucas, where did you get your shoes? I want a pair!
Any news Mangan? How's the hip after following this?
@@ShootinParKev better than what it was. Not perfect and not “healed” but far more manageable and a lot more mobility gained
I like how you say not to push through your pain. Been there, done that. No bueno
Listening to your body is the key.

I'm guessing that even without this tear, these exercises will be good for getting the s-fluid moving? I've done the hip and happy back challenges (continuing as I love them both) and discovered my right hip has something stopping it from full mobility. Hoping this will help. Thanks!
Just what I needed. Thank you Lucas. 🌺
Have you ever made a video for APT?
If not, can you?
Love the videos.
I've had a labrum tear for many years and it took many years to find a PT who knew what I was describing and helping me through this dabilitating pain. I had some scar tissue from my quad and hip area that we got through. I finally am pain free and can walk but still feel vulnerable in this area. I can finally lift my knee up to almost 90 degrees. I'm a bit apprehensive to put a load on it, but it seems like this would help. Since I've had this injury for many years, can I expect to improve on this old injury? I'm a 69 yo female.
Thank you Sir!
Glad you liked the video, Sue!

At 2:47, he says that labral tears heal “very, very slowly.” Yet the title of the video refers to healing them “fast.“
Yes, to inform you that it takes time to heal. The video aims to provide info to support faster healing.

Question. You said to do this daily to help accelerate healing. Let’s say it helps and heals the injury. What time frame might that happen? 2 weeks? 6 weeks? 12 weeks? 6 months? My chiropractor just told me yesterday he suspected I had a tear and I’d love to get healed up!!
Unfortunately, there's no one-size-fits-all answer for healing timelines. Injuries vary, so it's best to consult with a doctor or physical therapist for a specific timeframe. The exercises can definitely support healing, but focus on listening to your body and don't push through pain.

Thank you for the video with excellent descriptions. I have a labral tear. Been doing the routine for about a week (once a day and stay within the guidelines to not feel pain). Is it normal for the hip to be sore? Woke up with a dull ache last night. Is that a good pain or should I take a couple days off?
Hi, just saw your comment from a year ago and wondering how you're doing with the labral tear and if you have recovered. I hope you are better. I have a tear too, so am interested to know. Would appreciate any feedback, thankyou! Lynette 😊
😊 thank you very much I have a torn hip labrum on my left hip I just did these exercises thank you I have a hip replacement on my right hip are these ok to do?
It's advisable to consult with your doctor regarding exercises after hip replacement surgery to ensure your safety. If given approval, start slowly, lower the intensity and listen to your body.

I had a labrum tear in my left hip but due to my osteoarthritis I had to get total left hip replacement.

Looking forward to trying these. I started doing some simple impact exercises to strengthen bones. Things like jumping jacks, side skips, lunges, deep squats. All of a sudden the pain and weakness right in that area, and it feels like my rotator cuff tear. I dont want surgery on that either !
Question - are these exercises ok to do with SI joint issues present as well ?
I feel like a mess. Tried to do something good ....
Question: Do you have a problem with swimming, at the beginning phase of healing a torn Labrum? Im talking about just a few gentle laps in a long pool.
Hurts too much
What if you have bilateral Tares? Are the exercises the same? Any modifications?
Love your videos! would these exercises do anything negative to trochanter bursitis? I have a torn labrum as well as bursitis in the same hip.😢
Me too. A torn glute medius, too.
Hi Zorak, just read your comment from a year ago and wondering how you are now?. I have a left hip labral tear, chronic gluteal teninosis and trochanteric bursitis too. I'm in pain everyday, if I stand too long or go walking, have to stop and sit to get some relief. Been doing Physiotherapy but hasn't got any better. Am going to see a surgeon to get an opinion if I need arthroscopic surgery. I don't really want surgery but I don't see how a tear can heal on its own. Would appreciate and love to know what you have done and if you are healed now. I hope you are! 😊
If the labrum is torn, it means it is has torn off the hip socket bone. You need to surgically reattach it with special anchors, it cannot reattach on its own. Some people with minor labral tears and minor symptoms improve with rest, strengthening program. Even if their labrum is still torn, they will feel better. It doesn't mean the labrum has healed, it has not. It means the exercises and muscle strengthening are keeping the hip stable and strong. More severe labral tears will need surgery.
You're correct that a torn labrum can't heal without surgery. However, strengthening exercises can stabilize the hip and reduce symptoms, even with a tear. Severe tears usually require surgical repair.
- YOGABODY Team
@@YOGABODY.Official Mine were severe. The first one was so bad to the point I could not longer sit normally or walk. I also did an intense strengthening program both before, and after surgery which helped (I was able to push a lot more after the surgery as anatomy was restored and pain gone).
Thk u Bro
I'm sorry but it just isn't medically possible for the labrum to repair without surgery. Adults do not have the ability to regrow cartilage. I agree it's important to keep moving and within your limits, but it's just plain incorrect to suggest that getting the synovial fluid moving will illicit regrowth and healing. It just won't.
Hi just read your comment and what you say is what I am lead to believe, that a labral tear won't actually heal on its own, it needs to be stitched, arthroscopic surgery. I have a tear and would love to heal it naturally if I could, but from what I've heard it's impossible. Have you or someone you know had this injury? Would appreciate any feedback, thankyou! 😊
Stem cell injections
What is your source? Ive looked at the literature and its not a black and white answer and correct me if Im wrong but give me some sources. Im 76 yrs and 10 months along after a complete tear and have 95% of my mobility back. I also do yoga and tai chi and kayak on nice days. This is an excellent video by an excellent teacher. ❤❤
@@LynetteMaffescionihip labrum tear is different from meniscus (knee) tear. If the labrum is torn it means it has torn off / away from the hip socket bone where it's supposed to be attached to. So there is now a gap in there. Broken pieces of the labrum cartilage can get caught when you move and cause inflammation and pain. If the tear is large enough it is impossible to heal naturally or with injections, you need to reattach it surgically. If the tear is tiny and pain little you may get away with rest and physiotherapy to improve your symptoms.
I have had two surgeries (both hips). Tried rest and rehab before my first surgery and it was a failure. The tears were too big.
Why are you not mentioning the role phys therapy - really "muscle strengthening" plays in gaining back your abilities - without surgery and even WITH SURGERY!!?? Yes it's required and super important even with surgery!!
Load bearing is in the muscles and tissues not the bone and cartilage!
You can’t fix or heal a labral tear without surgery. You can just learn ways to deal with it, lessen pain, etc. A tear doesn’t heal.
These first two always makes the labrum side feel better always But switching sides negates all that when standing on the labrum side for support. Does that mean something else is going on?
It's interesting that the first two exercises bring relief. If the issue persists or worsens, it might be helpful to consult with a doctor. They can provide a more accurate assessment and guidance based on your individual case.

Hi, In the second exercise is your foot turned inward?
Would your 21 day hip challenge be safe and beneficial for someone who has not been diagnosed, but suspects a labral tear and/or Periformis syndrome? Grace
Grace, it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider, but many find stretching beneficial. Our challenge could offer some relief, but listen to your body.

How about the sources that say that a labrum tear cannot heal on its own? Can it really?@@YOGABODY.Official
I’ve been told labrum’s don’t heal from many drs
Is there a strength program you provide or recommend?
My experience- I was diagnosed with a tear following accidentally being pinned in splits. Worst pain ever!! Dr said steroid shots would likely be the only treatment. Said it probably wouldn’t heal because there isn’t enough blood flow. I ran. Just kept running. Within a couple of weeks all pain was gone. This was about 15 years ago. No symptoms since.
He he.. we run and running before our labrum will have too much tear
How is your hip now merhaba
@@umit777. Hello to you ;) still great. Hiked 8 miles a couple of days ago and ran sprints today. Have you found some relief or solution for yours?
Question: during the wall sits, should the pelvis be neutral? Or tilted (tucked)?
Your pelvis should be neutral 👍

Sir, is isometric wall sit good for labral tear on hip with joint arthritis
Avn problem any exercise brother please share
thanks Lucas, I'm a yoga and movement person who had a brief dislocation of the left femur out of the hip socket resulting in a labral tear. I enjoy doing deep squats and the horse pose. It's been 3 months since my injury and do you have any thoughts on jumping back into squats, horse poses? All I do is freestyle swim in the ocean now. Thank you.
Hello, just wondering if the hip labral tear explained in your video is the same focal tear involving the anterosuperior right acetabular labrum. I've been considering changing my physio.
Can we or should we do these exercises more than once a day?
Best to assess how much you can do in a day but rule of thumb is go for what still feels comfortable. Try to do once a day
Top!
I have a torn labrum in both hips. I also suffer from chronic back pain. I’ve had 5 back surgeries, two were fusions. My back has deteriorated even more and I’m having a 3rd fusion on 9/19. They’re fusing S1 through T10. I’m not sure how to repair the torn labrum’s.
i had one when i was younger like 25, didnt rehabilitate it very well or my efforts didnt work. now im 38 and it still feels loose. no pain. just kind of uncomfortable and loose, affects my athleticism greatly. wonder if im destined for surgery or if theres somehow i can fix it to get rid of loose/lax feeling.
If you have a hip labral tear that feels loose and uncomfortable without pain, rehabilitation exercises and physical therapy could potentially help improve stability and reduce discomfort. Consult with a specialist to explore non-surgical options before considering surgery.

Tore the labrum 3 weeks ago. Anyone on here experience a week and a half of not too much pain then on the third week intense pain? Everything I’m reading from Doctors states this is normal but curious to see if anyone’s experienced it themselves like me.
Healing from a torn labrum can have ups and downs. Hang in there and make sure to follow your doctor's guidance.

My hip gets stuck after sitting maybe 10mins and I’m active af! I don’t run anymore at all just walk and lift
My orthopedist told me that labrum tears do not heal. Thoughts?
Labrum tears typically do not heal on their own. It's advisable to consult your doctor for personalized recommendations based on your specific condition and symptoms.
- YOGABODY Team
@@YOGABODY.OfficialSo they can heal with movement? Or the tear just stops hurting?
so i won't damage it more? i've had pain for 6 months. Stopped most of my workouts because of the pain & not knowing what was causing it. got MRI after 5 months. still waiting to go to ortho. i started tai chi today, your moves seem like tai chi. i could only do a few moves today. if a doctor would of talked to me i could of started this sooner. googling did not give workout answers
Hello Vicki - it's certainly possible it could make it worse. Never push through pain, back off -1 step from discomfort. Tai Chi sounds like a great idea.
Hi Vicki, just read your comment from a year ago and wondering how you are now, if you are healed and what you did. I have a labral tear and have had pain for 8 months that got worse overtime and now can't even go for a walk without pain, or stand up too long. Did you have surgery?. I hope you are healed. Thanks Lynette 😊
@@LynetteMaffescioni yes I got hip replacement surgery, May 2023 now i did PT but still need to workout more to get stronger
What is a torn hip labrum with overlapping? How do I get it unstuck very painful thank you.
Hi Sherry. For a torn hip labrum with overlapping, it refers to a condition where there's a tear in the labrum, the ring of cartilage that follows the outside rim of the socket of your hip joint. This tear can cause overlapping or displacement of the torn pieces, leading to increased pain and stiffness.
It's essential to combine rest, physical therapy, and possible medical interventions. Strengthening exercises can reduce stress and improve flexibility, but consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice is crucial.

Question: When performing the fire hydrant exercise, is it ok if there is a click in the hip when doing the dog lift. Is it ok to click when doing the hacky sack move (last move)? I do click in those 2 areas
Hello Tricia - clicking hips is pretty normal, usually nothing to worry about but nothing to ignore either. Try to do full range of motion before to see if you can unclick it.
@YOGABODY.Official it clicks at the joint, where I have diagnosed labrum tears, so just wanted to make sure. I do these exercises everyday.
I live in Tbilisi, I couldn’t come to the truth, I saw 3 doctors, all three prescribed me coxarthrosis, I have no pain in the cartilage, no problems. but one doctor tells me that somewhere there is bone growth and this means coxarthrosis. The second doctor tells me that the sclerotic fossa is coxarthrosis. The third one simply writes coxarthrosis. I’ve been depressed for 4 months now, I can’t return to normal life. I couldn't get to the truth. Emerte's video I want to see where can I send it to you?
We can't give medical advice, we recommend seeking a second opinion from a specialist or sports doctor who can give you a clearer diagnosis.

Physio can only help it a little but at end of the day it will
Just get worse I a have delayed surgery for 3 years did physio and I am still in pain can’t go jogging anymore can’t to dead lifts or squats can’t go cycling it’s a nightmare so I emailed surgeon told him I will do the surgery next month
Which surgery?
Hi, would love to know how you got on with your surgery please! As you said and I think too, surgery is inevitable. I'm all for trying to heal naturally, but if it's a tear it won't heal without being stitched. I hope you have recovered! 😊
P.S. Meant to say I have a hip labral tear too, the doctor wants me to have cortisone injections, but I think it's a waste of time, as it's not going to heal it.
Is it possible to heal a hip labtuim tear
Healing a hip labrum tear may require medical intervention, consult a doctor for guidance.

Hello. The hacky sack move is not on the pdf. Thanks for the other tips tho.
Please explain why it's necessary to exercise both hips? My labral tear is only in one hip???
Strengthening both hips helps maintain balance and stability in your body.

This is not working for me. I have been doing these every evening for about 3 weeks but no change, ugh. I can not get help from doctors so i6s very challenging
Not sure if I have a hip labrum tear but I've been getting pretty intense pain at the bottom of a squat or deadlift. It's in the butt/hip area (basically, I looked at an anatomy chart and think it's the hip labrum based on where I'm feeling the pain). When I squat heavy, I'll do a quarter squat until I reach the point where it hurts, then a half squat, back up and then go down and I can usually do my set with minimal pain once I have done these partial reps. Could you confirm if this is a hip labrum tear?
It's important to have this checked by a healthcare professional. Symptoms like pain in the hip or buttock area during specific movements can suggest a variety of issues and only a medical examination, potentially including imaging tests like an MRI, can confirm this diagnosis.

Hi Lucas, big fan here!
I have a question for you related to the hamstring injury. Would you know if Cosentyx, a biologic anti inflammatory injection would have been delaying my healing and causing my tendons to be all crunchy and weirdly textured? Thanks for your help.
“See a doctor” 😂. They are always “baffled”.
All is good but the subtitles prevents from seeing the exercises you showing.....
