Matt, thank you! I have suffered from hip pain for years! I have trouble sleeping because of the discomfort. I did this last night, before bed, and did not wake up at all! I’m grateful I found your video.
I have been suffering in hip pain for last 6 years since I watched your exercise, start doing feel straightaway different now my pain has gone, but I am still doing exercise-every day, Thanx a lot
Matt I have been doing your exercises and they are helping me a lot! I do appreciate you style of teaching and the explanations you give. Much appreciated.
Exercise and stretching is the cure for everything...I have hip dysplasia with my knees being affected too ..I started getting a lot more active even running and I have no pain and am stronger than ever!! Forget rest and pain pills ..just exercise...move your body 🙌🏼
This morning I couldn't walk. My hip gave me so much pain I could hardly move. After this stretch I reduced the pain to almost none. From now on I'll be stretching regularly. Thanks and God bless you.
My hip just started hurting 1 day ago and the first thought that came across my mind is this must be why people get a hip replacement. I am 67 and glad I refused to get knee replacement because with proper care my knees work fine. Prayer must have led me to your channel and I am truly grateful. I was going to call my doctor for treatment but wisdom said just start with therapy and I was led to you. Thank you so much I will try this NOW.
Hi, Great exercise. This exercise helped more than any other for my FAI. I purchased your program several years ago and it helped so much. I was going to purchase the higher level FAI, but you gentlemen told me it was not recommended for me. Was so impressed with your integrity. Very appreciative!
Thanks for the reminder. I dreaded this pose in yoga class, because it was so uncomfortable for me. However, I found that placing a block under my chest helped me progressively relax into the position better. Also, the best way to get out was to shift my body forward, instead of causing more injury by trying to vertically come back up.
Hii really it's a helpful stretch. I am from India. We call this stretch mandookaasana ( Mandooka in Sanskrit language means frog and aasana means sitting) It also relieves menstrual pain and strengthens pelvic and buttoc muscles. Keep posting more such helpful videos. Thanks 😃
Thanks for the awesome video, I’m an MT and sent this video to clients with weak adductors and locked hips, as well as lower back issues. One client is out of pain already. 🙏🏼👍🏼
This stretch is exactly what I need. Not hip surgery! My first ymptom was pain in my right adductors and was told It was my hip, torn labrum, need hip surgery, the situation you have described. Thank you, thank you.
Finally someone who talks about mobility in neuromuscular terms rather than just referring to "tightness". I find it is one of the least understood (yet most important) fitness concepts to the average Joe and I am often shocked to see some of the techniques recommended by instructors in disciplines that demand flexibility (dance, gymnastics, martial arts etc.). You explain your techniques in a simple way that can help people grasp what is causing tightness and what actually makes certain stretches effective verses others. Keep up the great content!
I salute you!!! You look young but seem to be wise and mature and a professional:) am 54 year old menopausal woman and i have tried Everything for my hips but to no avail... until i tried this stretch and it is Miraculous!! Thank you:)
Finally, a thorough explanation of how to do the Frog stretch. I had been doing this as part of a yoga routine but I wasn't getting a real stretch in the muscles that needed it, as became apparent recently when I sustained a stress fracture in my femur from overuse (during much more strenuous exercise than yoga) and actually ended up breaking the bone all the way while I was doing normal errands, because I didn't know what was wrong with it until it was too late. So now that I've had surgery to put my hip back together and have been told to use a walker, then a cane, and lay or sit around, I realize that you are quite correct in saying that practically no one tells you about this stretch, because I never heard it mentioned. Anyway, now that is has been 2 months I am getting some mobility back, although I am not as flexible as I was, but it does feel good to learn how to work on that properly.
You’ve helped me so much with various videos I’m going to jump in and buy your course which I’ve been putting off doing for 5 years - You deserve it/I deserve it - here’s to finally curing my hips!
I bought his fix your feet pain video.. I got so much more information and exercises and stretches in the course and it is only $`126 to support a guy who has devoted his life to figuring out how to relive pain and helping people.
I think this is an incredible stretch. I am dealing with numbness down my leg and this is the first thing that has helped in such a long time!!! Thank you!!!
This is one of my favorite stretches of all time. The first time i was introduced to frog pose was during a yoga flow and i fell in love with it. Thank you for your extra tips here!
I have been having mobility problems with one hip, and pain on and off. I have now developed sciatic pain gong from side of lower back through my buttock to my knee. My doctor sees this simply as arthritis in spine and hip, and has suggested keep moving, take Ibuprufen and later have a hip replacement. I am a firm believer in the body wanting to heal itself but needing support or change in life style. Just did this exercise and got a lot of relief from it. I will do this regularly now. Thank you.
Gosh, super helpful. I am a runner and wake up every morning with terrible hip pain. It makes the morning runs a major struggle to get going. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you for the helpful advice. I do wish you had talked about the necessity of deep steady breathing to activate healing and given your description of "relaxed" because many ppl are starting from zero and don't know what relaxed means . I recommend cultivating a quiet mind during stretching where you are not actively thinking about what you need to do next, what you saw on TV, how you want your body to be, etc. Just unbiased awareness of sensations in the body. I agree with what you said about not going into maximum stretch you are capable of but backing off to less than that, so the position can be held longer, in manageable challenge. Also if you are not stretched to maximum, you might be able to bring yourself to feel an inward smile, not forced fake outward smile, which stimulates greater healing. You didn't mention the connection between mind body and spirit in regard to triggering healing as opposed to narrowly focusing on what you want your body to do. Using a stretch pose to release AND tense muscles to get a FUNCTIONAL increase in range if motion and not just an increase in range of motion is a new idea to me. Thanks for that!!!
Good video. This is the first of Matt's that I've seen, but will definitely be checking out more. As an avid runner in mid-to-late 50's one of the things I've been concerned about for years is hip strength, flexibility and balance, and go overboard with exercises and stretches for the hips. Imbalance in hip strength or flexibility seems to lead to injuries. I plan on exploring these hip stretches and sharing with fellow runners.
It is a magic. I have a IS loins problem for about a month. After the acute inflammation was gone, I've tried lots of tips from the internet to relive the rest of my hip uncomfortableness. But nothing worked so magically like this one. Just one shot, all the complains are gone. Thank you so much. Life no more sucks. I can take a 20 km walking, dancing again. Thank you!!
I did a yoga for hips but I just didn't feel quite like I was loose and stretched out. I came across this video! I have done this before (a Long time ago) but your education was so much better then the other one. I did it as you explained and man I feel soooo much better. I will also incorporate it in my stretching routines!
I have had chronic back pain for so long. It just getting worse now I do have to lose weight as well but I felt relief immediately. It feels strange to feel very slight pain I really mean it. A few minutes ago I could barely get up out of my chair or rock my body in the chair. OMG. I can't wait to see how long it last. My brain don't know how to react because been hurting really bad for several months. I even feel hardly no pain when I walk. Thank you!! for life brother.
Hi everyone good afternoon! LOL I have excruciating pain in my left femur ball which I had surgery on prior to this message, two years now and counting however I love your channel because you give great content, and you’re helping people which is truly amazing and a blessing! But, I have a fractured femur bone and I watch your channel so that I can relieve this pain along with start walking correctly either with my fractured femur bone!
I just tried this and I know this much for sure,.... I got one hell of a great stretch! I got to say, I'm feeling a lot better! ... Thanks for the info.
THANKS!!!! I am going to ADD this to my daily STRETCHING... I am SO TIGHT... My legs SHAKE & my inner thigh feels jammed so TIGHT... it's like my inner thighs won't RELAX because they are PROTECTING themselves from injury or something... sigh.. I was ALWAYS limber.. I didn't have to work at it when I was younger.. I LET IT GO.. now at 61... I'm FIGHTING for my LIMBER LIFE again.. on week 3 of stretching 2 times daily. YOU ARE HELPING ME!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!
I recommend that one must stretch without shoes. Wearing shoes is restrictive and your feet may feel strain rather than gently moving in alignment to the stretch.
Thank you for posting this. I saw a TH-cam video showing this but your video explains more, showing how to protect and also increase or decrease intensity.
Your other post of sitting and raising my knees worked miracles on me I will now try these. I have had both knees replaced. BUT...I can handle kneeling on my bed Thanks. 😊
THANK YOU, I watched your NECK PAIN Video is a very simple exercise, that cure my neck pain while sleeping at night. Wow, this is a good stub no more pain pills.
Thank you!! I looked everywhere in TH-cam Couldn’t find anything until I ran into your Channel That stretch help me with my hip pain thank you vary much wow!!!
I’m not sure why this showed up in my feed, but I’m glad it did. I’ve had pain in my interior side of my left hip for quite some time. Doing this stretch helped relieve the pain, even if just temporarily. Thanks for posting
Thanks for the great tips. Having sciatic pain started since my third trimester of pregnancy. Still having pain after delivery. I've tried this exercise. Pain has reduced.. Truly believe it will reduce dramatically.. Thanks again!
TH-cam must be psychic, I woke up this morning with a really sore hip, and see this post, and this is the first time I have ever seen a video about this subject and I didn't go looking for it or do a search, I was watching bushcraft posts, but I have just done your exercise and it has given me immediate relief, thank you So much my friend, great post.
MATT, for two years i have suffered with hip pain, lower back pain, TODAY 10 minutes and the 2 year PAIN G O N E! THANK YOU...YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH! CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS, EXCELLENT ENGLISH!
This is really interesting I just started to spontaneously move into this position myself through instincts and feeling my body ...thanks broke the nuances and advice about how to manipulate in this position.
This stretch is so amazing it's crazy. I was curious if you have had any clients with long scoliosis spinal fusions. I have hip pain that shows up every now and then. I'm currently looking at your hip strengthening exercises and I really like your technique and creativity. I'm seeing a fitness coach who is trained in the shroth method, but I was curious about adding on further down the road after giving my current exercise program a good shot.
I got a hip impingment and u help me lot ..that combine with a chiro is just perfect 😁 thx so much to take time for us out there who active and suffer.caroline
I do this stretch DAILY! It does relieve a lot of tension but for some reason, my hips never pop. I've been playing volleyball for over 8 years as well as weight lift and I always use this after I'm finishing my workouts. Though I can feel how tight my hips are they never pop the pain is getting to the point where it's starting to affect me while I'm working. Is there any possible stretch that I can do to get a deep pop in my hips? Thank you!
Good man Matt, great presentation. Not only did it help stretch my thighs, I felt a few nice pops in my back as I gently moved about, so I,m guessing I had some tightness and "trapped" stuff going on up there that was part of the hip issue.
Am I the only one that had trouble getting into these positions because of knee pain? And I'm only 22 😬. I can get into the butterfly stretch and the yoga hip stretch though so I think a can achieve the same results. I have knocked knees and flat feet with a partial outward patella shift on my left leg, with VERY weak hips. So I believe that's why it's so painful for me to get on my knees, that's why I'm trying to do these stretches to strengthen my lower body.
Needed these videos. Im a amputee and my left hip does most of the work. Trying to learn how to keep my hips rotation varied. Trying to prolong my ability to move. So these are great. 😆
Definitely one of the most challenging stretches if you have tight hips/flexors. You have to stay with it and give it time but it gives me instant relief once I get up out of it. I try to do it several times a day and the more I do it, the better I feel.
The hip is such a complex structure, can you explain what type of pain (and where) this stretch alleviates? And how this helps with that. Thank you for the content you put up
Thank you for this. Very helpful. I'm having osteopathy at the moment and my practitioner has directed me to your video. I'll be trying this and hoping it'll help. Seems good sound advice.
Thanks for this stretch Matt. I find with my feet out it aggravates an old injury in lower back (as does horse stance which is kinda similar), but ardha chandrasana gives decent relief from general hip tightness. What are your thoughts about this stretch, as it seems quite unusual and I wouldn't want to unwittingly aggravate something.
How's your groin feeling NOW? 😂
Beginner hip training program: uprighthealth.com/healthy-hips
Have the FAI hip pain diagnosis? thefaifix.com
@Uprighthealth would you suggest this stretch for someone who has been diagnosed by MRI with a suspected shallow hip labrum tear?
Matt, thank you! I have suffered from hip pain for years! I have trouble sleeping because of the discomfort. I did this last night, before bed, and did not wake up at all! I’m grateful I found your video.
Wow, this is soooo encouraging. Thank you for sharing. I am very happy for you!!

This is my favorite, my physio who is beyond anyone I have ever seen before uses this one in his weekly class and suggested it to me.
As soon as I did this stretch and moved forward it released my pain in the SI joint as well as relieved pain in the groin
. Thanks
Been following for a few years. Many Thanks!❤️
Oh man 35 weeks preggo and this one is a game changer! 🙌🏽

THANK YOU...YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH! CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS, EXCELLENT ENGLISH!
Loving how you define stretch.
I sometimes do that stretch with a cushion under each knee for comfort on laminated floor which allows knees to slide along the floor easier
Excellent! I have been saved a visit to My chiropractor! I'm Healed!!
This is really interesting I just started to spontaneously move into this position myself through instincts and feeling my body ...thanks broke the nuances and advice about how to manipulate in this position.

Great explainion my about the muscles at different stages. Thanks.
I use to do this stretch when I did CrossFit! It was my favorite!! Thanks for reminding me🙌
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much. My pain has reduced immediately. ❤

Good work Matt, thanks for sharing !
I been doing that stretch for some time now. Learned it from a class in gym classes in the time before Covid 19.
This position really helped me. I'm in pain a lot. Thank you! Really!
Excellent video! I'm definitely trying this out. Thank you!

I'm missing my big left toe so my right knee and hip take most of my weight. I hope this helps you out.
I'm a BRKA w/PPPD. Gonna try these. Glad to hear progress seems to be made with the help of these

I like that attention to detail. It may all seem like a lot to comprehend, but it's all worthwhile science.
Thanks mate! Hopefully this will work! I've been getting pain when I get into a deep squat etc!
Thank u my friend
Thank you for this. Very helpful. I'm having osteopathy at the moment and my practitioner has directed me to your video. I'll be trying this and hoping it'll help. Seems good sound advice.
Can you do a real time stretching workout for the whole body that everyone can follow along which will help with body posture? That would be awesome
Would watch this every morning
I knew it. I was thinking about doing this. You're body will tell you what it needs. Glad I came across this video. Confirms what I needed to do.
Great explanation. Just what I was looking for.
Thanks for this stretch Matt. I find with my feet out it aggravates an old injury in lower back (as does horse stance which is kinda similar), but ardha chandrasana gives decent relief from general hip tightness. What are your thoughts about this stretch, as it seems quite unusual and I wouldn't want to unwittingly aggravate something.
