I thought this video was too simple and couldn't be valid. Puhhhlleeeze! Correcting my posture has been instrumental in improving my running and time. When it attempts to rear its head, I KNOW my posture isn't correct. Thank you for this video!!
I started taking up running in the last 6 months (I'm 46). The hip flexors on both sides were so strained it was painful to move. I found stretching after my workout has been extremely helpful. I only run 2-3 miles at a time, 2-3 times a week.
I'm experiencing a very tangible sensation of being more knowledgeable after watching this. Amazing
This is really helpful. When I started troubleshooting the issue, I kept finding a bunch of hip flexor stretches. While this provides for some relief, it doesn't address the reason they are tight and hurting. Your video actually addresses this, which is great!
My form has been more like the first (before) example. I guess I've been trying to maintain good posture, but I've exaggerating everything (chest out, shoulders back, arched back, etc.). I thought I was doing the right thing, but I was making things worse. Thank you so much!
I thought I knew a lot when it comes to running, but this did put me back from a whole month struggling with pain.
Fluidity and ease. I’m learning more and more
This is an excellent analysis.
Thank you so much! New runner, aiming for marathon, and found this pain when increasing load. Thank you again. This is the most helpful vid i found on this topic
This is the best and most clear description of the issue I've seen online. An explanation on treatment and relief would be super
This is what I've been looking for. Thankyou...
very educational, thank you for the great analysis!
Thanks so much I knew there had to be something I was doing wrong after stretching tons before my track meet and getting in a good warm up and still starting to feel pain again. Hopefully this will help me get better and decrease pain.
Thank you, this has been super helpful and I went out for a run and did so without pain, following your advice about hip alignment.
Glad it helped!
This was SO helpful!
I started running recently and try to find the good posture by observing people running in the park, but couldn't tell which is the right way. I tried to imitate some of them but ended up confused and with hip flexors pain.
Your video was so clear! Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thanks and happy trails and miles!
Awesome video!
Awesome!!! Thank you so much. Greetings from México
Great video. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video!
Very helpful video! Thank you so much!!
This video blew my mind!
Thank you for the lesson.
I just watched this and without even going for a run I think this video will help me a lot. I’m currently training for an iron man but my hip flexor soreness has been limiting my running
So good thank you!
Great stuff.
Thank you this helped so much. My hips no longer hurt as I run
How to relieve it when it is already injured
Lay down on the floor, put your leg over your other knee, and stretch that hip as you pull everything in.
Super interesting video!
Douglas, Im really pleased I watched your video. I am in a pretty depressing situation. I love running its my favourite form of exercise but over time its become far too painful that the enjoyment has gone completely. I have scoliosis of the spine and I used to run long distances as well as play rugby and train HIIT I damaged my hip flexors on both sides and since then getting back into running is very painful, i now feel discomfort in my back hips and along the inside of my knees. Sorry for the lengthy comment, but do you think this could be down to tight hip flexors and curvature in the spine?. I have taken up yoga and i am now doing very short sprints as i find that less painful than jogging on the knees.
It's a good analysis but you haven't offered any way to deal with the pain?
I think this video might of just saved me
Hi Doug- your link to your site in the description does not work (it is a https link, but should be http). Great tips here- thanks!
interesting but how do I actually do this!
I run exactly like A ! That was really helpful, Ill try to fix it, and if I dont forget Ill come update here if it works
any success?
@@cadco1996 yes, so far my hips havent been hurting at all ! My problem was that I was leaning forward too much bc I thought it would made me faster and looked cooler, but just this one fix really helped
@@jabir5768 I'll have to try it. My pain is just like what is described in this video, but I think it will be hard for me to understand how to properly adjust my posture
@@cadco1996 good luck bro !
I love the bluegrass
what are ways to release the psoas? I have lateral hip tightness, pain on impact due to tight and sore fexors
I've been barely able to walk for almost a week now with this exact pain. Your demos of the wrong way to run is exactly how I had been running. I thought the pain would heal by now, 6 days, still really painful.
Has it gone away yet
@@statscoldtbh3943 Yes. The pain lasted about 3 weeks or so. I had to walk around on a crutch.
@@charlieparkeris that’s good that the pain is gone. God Bless
My pain is on he outside of the hips, I can especially feel it when going from sitting to standing. It's been hurting for 2 months now even with rest.
I hurt in the same area, but only after mile 14 or so of long runs and the 8 hours following. It's quite unbearable while running.
@@Smilinginerie the human body is not meant to run that far in one sitting,lol. youre fucking up your heart too by the way. look up how many long distance runners have their hearts stop on them despite being in great shape and young.

Alfonso Castro as long as it's not sudden, it's actually fine. Athletes who push it too far and face issues due overtraining but 14 miles won't kill the body if u know what you're doing.
think it’s cuz ur gay
Very helpful! Thank you. A demo of you correcting your client’s posture would have been great but will try and have the B posture and see. My pelvic bone so painful after running today...
The “what” is clear but how do you change the running is unclear to me.
Wondering if running on an inclined treadmill would help.
i understand that what you described above is essentially Anterior Pelvic Tilt exhibition during running, right? but how did you help them fix APT? even when standing, the natural angle between my lower waist and upper thigh is bent about 20 degrees, thus forcing the lower spine to bow out. I am doing lunge stretches, not sure what else I can do to stretch the hip flexors. thanks a lot
Hi....static stretching the hip flexor doesn't usually translate to lengthening it in any long term way. What you need to do is look on you tube for "Supine Groin Stretch" exercise, which is a little time consuming, and passive, but seems to help some folks.. Then you need to use your body when running to allow the muscle to stretch out. Use it in the range that it is designed for because with the anterior tilt you constantly use it in a shortened range. I could help you with that if you want to do some Skype sessions. Go to my website for more information on that. Best Douglas
That was amazing... I am in Orlando and I need your help any referrals here?
I don't know anyone there that does this kind of work. You can engage me via Skype:radiantrunning.com/contact/skype-sessions/
it makes alot of sens, but how do you fix it? how would be a good start sir
this is whats happened to me! my left hip is killing me , i always arched my back when i ran and i pulled my shoulders back and i didnt let my arms swing . now i have this pain thats slowly gotten worse in my left hip and i also have one leg thats slightly longer than the other i think its the left side.
SoWhoaWolf that's the exact same thing that's happening to me!
I've been studying cures for plantar fasciitis and found an awesome resource at Plantar premium plan (check it out on google)
I’m triathlete. Start running 4 years ago. I’m midfoot striker. Last 2 weeks I have hip pain when I’m running. When cycling I have no pain. Pain is starting only after when I run more than 5 To 8 km... What can I do to run again full maraton? It looks like trochanteric bursitis or hip flexor tendonitis
Best comment I could make without seeing a video of you running, is that your probably holding a lot of tension in you torso and pelvic region. Do you have an anterior pelvic tilt? Learn how to relax and mobilize the pelvis when running. Send me a video if you want a more specific answer. Best
But how do I go about fixing my running form? My hip pain during running at only 27 is bumming me out 😥
Send me a clear side shot you running and I'll make a suggestion.
ok.... so how do you fix it?
I have terrible hip flexor pain and look like sample a when running. Do you know of anyone in Arizona that would take a look at my form? Excellent video and I need help. I feel like my stamina is great on long runs, but my hip flexors stop me from continuing.
If you send me a short side shot of you running I can easily assess if I could help you via Skype sessions...don't know anyone in Arizona currently.
@@douglaswisoff Thank you...I will send a picture out soon. Thanks for taking the time for assessment! Much appreciated.
The Running University in Phoenix teaches Chi Running. Lisa does running analysis.
Seems very interesting! However, it is not said HOW to release the hip flexors, is it? Did I miss that?
No your never came across it in the first place. If you want to lengthen the Hip Flexor you are going to have to use it in a lengthened position or it will have no permanent effect. If you get it to release magically or you do an exercise or have a therapist release it, this will not automatically change your running form. If the form isn't consciously changed, you will just end up with the same issue and the hip flexor will shorten back up. So get it released, but improve your form at the same time. Or improve your form and this will allow the hip flexor to lengthen over time.
@@douglaswisoff Thanks for your quick answer!! I have a sitting work and I have certainly shortened hip flexors. When running I constantly think on releasing them but it doesn't come from good thinking alone ;-) For me this whole is still a mystery...
Omg that intro music😂😂😂
So glad you appreciated it!!!
Can rope skipping worsen this condition?
I have no idea, but I kind of doubt it.
HOW!!?? How do you released the hip flexors to run with proper form? Is it just a magical choice?
Some instruction is what you need to do that. Visit my Website to find out how to contact me for Skype sessions.
What is the right way when running? Left vid or right vid?
Right
Tuck your hips. So your lower back isnt bowed and your glutes arent poking out behind your torso. In the first example(at 2:22) you can see his hips arent straight and his chest is raised and out. On the right you can see his hips are under him and his chest is relaxed. In fact the example on the left is better in every way that im able to see.
s sandus yikes seriously
