Holy hell. I've had tightness/pain at the front of my hip since I was 18 (11 years) a pain that is mostly fine but makes 30+ minutes of walking nearly intolerable, I've seen a ton of physios for various problems (fractured spine at 15) for most of my life. I've done countless hours of things like monster walks and clam-shells, I haven't missed more than 2 weeks of gym/resistance training in 10 years. For about 2 years I've known my 'front of hip pain while walking' has been limited extension and I've been playing around with PRI exercises, trying to engage my adductors etc. for about 2 years. I just completed my first set of 20 reps for heel taps. This is the second time ever in 10 years I've performed some kind of p/rehab drill, stood up and felt immediate relief and a sense of "WOW". I can't believe it. I did also notice that when I was at the end of the range, just as I began to initiate hip flexion, I felt this VERY subtle nerve/tingle throughout the lumbar spine/rib area - I've always associated this with QL spasm. But somehow it felt good this time, almost like my brain was learning something important. Thank you David, incredible.
Love it mate! Sounds like you need to stick with that drill for a while and see what happens. Learning to actually move your hip is the key - all the other stuff are just band aids
Fantastic video - thanks David. I really appreciate the background context you provided at the beginning. That's so often missing from these types of videos!
Hey David! Would love to see videos on SI joint (specifically R posterior inlet) and videos for the neck (specifically those who may be more in the unstable OA joint spectrum) Thanks in advance my man! Love your content and happy to see the YT content upgrades!
Thanks David, very helpful again! 🎉 Can you make a Video about impingement problems in the shoulder and the hip? Would love to see your thoughts on that. Awesome work, keep it up ❤
Great stuff! Would love to see a video on how to relax the neck when training/existing I follow the neck drills in the UBB and try to apply the concepts from it of creating tension distally Cheers!
I can feel some "tightness" in my hip flexor when i run. Woud you use these exercises as a warm up before I run, or after I run. Or on a day I don't run? I run 3 days a week, and do the exercises from your foot program after my runs.
Brilliant video. Get a big clunk on my right side when extending, have done as long as I can remember. generally have lb issues this side, is this due to inability to dissociate hip from femur?
Nicely explained video, thanks for sharing! In the first exercise, going from level 2 to 3, is it normal that when you go into hip extension that the lumbar spine comes off the ground? I find it difficult to keep a pen sized gap beneath my back and the floor. Is this a weakness in the abdominals or more hip flexors, or both? Cheers!
Great vid!.. If someone has shortened tight hip flexors, (from being in a seated position too much), r they likely to have weak glutes as well? Would glute strengthening normally go hand in hand with these hip flexor exercises? Thx so much!
Hey david, i am an golf athlete (23) from munich, working together with a coach who visited your Seminar this year in munich. I had problems with my knee, the doctor identified a plica syndrom that pulls my kneecap inside and i struggle to put pressure on the whole foot. Is there a way to reach out to you ? Or do you think an operation is the only solution? Cheers felix from germany
In the supine position, try to do a super strong and long exhale first and then move the leg while keeping all of that tension. It will take some practice but see if it helps 🙂
I don't know how I could feel or not feel with my fingers on my hip bones if the pelvis is moving or not? There is bone alright, I can go into lordosis or make a very round lower back alright, but my fingers feel all the same on these bones all the time during these movements. Same with the leg moving and the rectus working just a little bit but after that? They are just bones. The second (strengthening) exercise I have used for some time, works great so.
Look at 4.30 in the video where she lets the leg move out and the pelvis rolls with it. You can very clearly see that those bones move. It’s a pretty simple concept. If you are moving your pelvis then those bones are moving. Simple as that
@@DavidGreyRehab Thanks for the answer, very much appreciated. I get the concept (I am a sprinter), but I really can not feel these movements when I place my fingers on these bones there and do the motions. I feel bone. I just do not feel if it moves or not. Guess my feeling abilities in my fingers are underdeveloped :D. Oh well.

Wow, I'm genuinely stunned how much 2 rounds of these exercises has helped my back pain. Amazing. Thanks for sharing this!
You’re welcome mate! Great to hear 🙌
this is the one lads
Fantastic video - thanks David. I really appreciate the background context you provided at the beginning. That's so often missing from these types of videos!
Thank you mate! More to come 🙏
incredible as always! THANK YOU!
🙏
Currently dealing with this exact problem with one of my handball athletes, thanks a lot david comes in at the right time!
You’re welcome mate. Let me know how it goes 🙏
Reminds me of Pilates on the mat and then reformer. The stability of the pelvis and breath work complement the exercise greatly.
Yep! Lots of good stuff in a good Pilates class 🙌

The Friday email / video combo is hot, absolutely loving it 💯
Thanks Jon! We are working hard on it so I really appreciate that mate

I like to work on lots of reaching exercises for the neck Hannah. Will do a video on it soon!
Any questions (or requests for other videos), drop them below. I will give good, detailed answers to all TH-cam questions :)

Outer hip pain, after running any thing over 3k
Hip impingement
Front of ankle/shin locking
Thank you
@@rldnejmTry it before you run and see if it helps!
@@tomphillips105Hard to say exactly. Try to go nice and slow and do a really long strong exhale as you move /before you move and see if that helps.
Do you got any movement for a amputee above the knee

Probably both James. Something that needs to be practiced
Great vid!.. If someone has shortened tight hip flexors, (from being in a seated position too much), r they likely to have weak glutes as well? Would glute strengthening normally go hand in hand with these hip flexor exercises? Thx so much!
Yeah I would definitely train the glutes also!
Cool, thanks so much! These longer vids r awesome 👏

What if I get a small pop in right hip when i lengthen my R leg when in the supine position? No pain though. Same with left hip in standing position
In the supine position, try to do a super strong and long exhale first and then move the leg while keeping all of that tension.
It will take some practice but see if it helps 🙂
