The Ultimate Guide to Nonsurgical Treatments for Hip Impingement (Femoroacetabular Impingement) 

I got diagnosed with FAI about a year ago. A chiropractor told me I couldn't do much about it, and an orthopaedic surgeon basically told me to stop internal rotation past 90 degrees with the femur, or I'd wear out my hip. Neither offered any solutions at all. They didn't care/couldn't help me. I thought it was hopeless at the beginning, but I tried a lot of different movements, over the course of many months, that have dramatically improved my FIA, almost to the point that I don't even notice it much anymore. To be honest I don't even use many of the movements from the FAI program, but they helped my find the movements that worked for me. It help pave the way to my recovery. I found the stretches didn't help as much as activation. Lengthening the anterior part of the hip, and activation of the glutes worked better for me. Strong external rotational movements of the hip, strengthening, activating, and increasing the range, on that particular movement, has been a huge factor fixing my FAI. It seems to give the muscles in the hip loads of control and creates clearance where the impingement is. If I spend a good 20 min doing mobility, (mainly mobility activation exercises) before training session, my FAI doesn't bother much at all, but it did take me at least 6 months to get to that point and change the way my hips moved. It takes perseverance, and patience, but I can honestly say I'm moving like I used to again. I just take longer to warm up, and I feel a bit stiffer, but I can almost say that my FAI is basically cured/well maintained. The whole idea that, "there's nothing you can do about FAI," is kind of bullshit. I'm living proof.

Great, good bunch of information. Thanks for sharing. I got your program and as of today I am using it.

You are amazing coach - I've following Matt Hsu from Upright Health for about 7 years. I was not surprised when I found out you two were "buds". Thank you so much for all these teachings about FAI. I feel I'm becoming a better PT every day, thaks to you guys. Love your works! Iva, Denmark

Thanks Shane, this is the best and most informative video on hip impingement and the fai syndrom I've come across so far. You're doing a great work, keep going. best from germany

Lots of valuable information in this channel! It really does come down to making lifestyle changes, avoid surgery and pain meds. The body will heal and eliminate foods that cause inflammation.

This video is the bible of hip impingement! Great stuff, Shane!

Wow incredible! So much wisdom, thank you for sharing!

This has honestly been the most informative, clear-cut, and positive information I've had in 3 years of dealing with this hip impingement misery. It's also free advice. I've also spent so much money trying to fix it and have had some good therapies, but none that seem to be fixing me as quickly as I hoped. I've also watched hundreds of RU-vid videos on hip impingement and how to fix it, to no avail. Now I just happen to come across your video and...wow. This could be just the ticket to my recovery. Everything you said resonates with me entirely! Thank you for such a detailed and thorough video on this debilitating issue. I have honestly been losing the will in recent months. My life has been ruined by this disabling condition, and worse because I also have a knee issue on the opposite side. I used to do a lot of yoga before I also tore my rotator cuff on my shoulder, plus injured the hip. Now, my body is one stiff lump of clay. I feel so restricted in my movements. It's honestly quite shocking to how flexible I was when practising yoga. No yoga over the last 3 years has really not helped my situation, but I have been gently stretching more frequently recently. I will now aim to stretch daily and follow your advice on all you've advised! I do, however, walk a lot. I do keep moving, but I also do have days where I feel too scared to, as of the hip and knee pain. This is the most positive I've felt about fixing myself in a long time. Thank you, kind Sir 🙏

Excellent explanation! Ty for this info. Regards from Portugal

thank you so much for all your hard work, it blesses me

I can relate. CAM with FAI and interchondral cyst (which scared me initially). I've been a runner all my life and never had hip issues, however after running 2 marathons back to back I began having pretty severe groin pain. I haven't ran in 5 weeks and have been doing all the PT exercises and stretches' and finally feeling some relief. I've been rather discouraged because of the recovery time but watching your videos has given me hope. Thanks for the information and all of your videos.

Im 25 and have been dealing with this for years and I feel like nothing i have been doing is helping. But you educating me gave me some hope

Your videos are genius! Keep it going!

This is a really excellent. A gift.

You are my angel! Thank you very much..everything that you mentioned is exactly how feel. And I have a fairly good therapist ...

This is wonderful

You definitely helped give me tips anna a better understanding of my hip impingement. Thank you!!!

Wow this is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. Thank you so so much!! I’ve been so frustrated the last few months with this limitation. Going to look at your other videos. Gives me hope! 😊😊

Sir God Bless you Awesome explanation

Great work Got Rom, keep it up. I've already subscribed. How can I get more informations from you?

Excelente explicación. Muchas gracias

For anyone out there! Buy his programme and or watch every single video! It helps a lot if youre patient and comitted enough

You're awesome. Thank you very much.

You're describing good a physical therapists, its a high skill cap profession.

I had an operation and it helped a lot.

I have just started squatting with the 5x5SL program. People said i need to start squatting deeper, so I did. The impinchment pain followed in my right hip. I have never seen such an in depth video about anatomy/pathology and the different ways to aproach them. Thanks a lot for this man! I really apreciate you and the way you explain and aproach different situations!

I'm the 500th like and am starting my fai fix journey today. I've had pain for over 5 years now and its causing me problems in everyday life and in the gym and while doing mma. Hopefully in 6-8 months I can return here and say that I've finally fixed it. I researched it and made a program for myself with the stretches,mobility and flexibility exercises along with exercises to strengthen my glutes,hams and other smaller hip muscles. My diet is gonna change too and I will eliminate all the toxic stuff like sugar and dairy. I wish luck to anyone struggling with this even if you are young like me or in your 70's.

THANK YOU SO MUCH SHANE, I'M AN ITALIAN GUY, THIS IS REALLY HELPFULL!!

Good information but do you have a video showing exercises we should be trying to do along with stretching?

You are the greatest.

thank you sir 🙏🏻

An absolutely brilliant video. A work of art if you will. Probably the best video I’ve seen on RU-vid. Well done 👍

Thank you for your supportive words. Going through pain which is terrible. Not to mention the mental torture. Nevertheless, I will try to enjoy the process!

Amazing stuff

Wow you're very organized and incredibly smart

I am 19 years old and have it since i´m 16. Doc said today that i should search for online therapy, because the availibility is limited during the pandemic lockdown in Germany. I think i will try your program and keep a update here.

Thank you so much I'm going to try this myself because i don't want surgery I'm more stiff than in pain!!

That's the longest video I've ever watched on RU-vid. I have recently come down with hip impingement and my willingness to watch a 30 min video is a testimony to its potential usefulness. Intend to investigate the programme they have developed. Bob 🇬🇧

Thank you shane . You are truly a good coach. I agree with everything you said , regarding surgery.As there are good surgeon, there are also bad ones, worse the main surgeon can handle you to junior surgeon, after he sedated you to sleep. I believe this what happened to me. Twenty five years ago l had my ACL were torn, so l had ACL reconstruction. I could have live without ACL l was fine, except l had minor issues when l squats, otherwise I was fine, however someone advised me to have my have my ACL fixed through surgery, so l can play soccer again after surgery, since l couldn’t imagine life without playing soccer , l apt for surgery unfortunately the surgery made it worse, l lost extension in my knee, as consequence my hip was affected. So l agree ! surgery should be done, after one exhausted all the other non- surgical options, and make sure the senior surgeon doesn’t hand you to a newly graduated surgeon so he can practice on you, l am sorry to say, some doctors choose and pick on who to practice on based on, who they can get away with, they could see your name, occupation , nationality, l believe all this none- verbally, were used against me ,in fact the junior surgeon did most of the operation, junior surgeon l only met right before sedation. True story. Ask questions. Don’t put your body under a knife, until exhausting all questions. Thank You shane for the precise and concise , but informative video. Thank You!❤

thanks!

this guy is genuine because he says it may take few months or years. He is right. Hip issues cant be fixed overnight. This is great research & personal experience stuff. He says both the journey & the result is enjoyable. This is the best.

Thanks for sharing your story and providing many people with information they need to study their own hip problems in order to seek the proper help. My right hip pops and locks upon flexion and external rotation...for three years now,and only getting worse. After watching your video, I feel confident that I have some form of FAI problem. I'm going to see a Physiatrist here in Huntsville soon for her help also. Thanks again! Joyce from Huntsville Alabama

Shane, I've also seen dietary inflammation as a partial factor... when I cut out gluten and dairy my efforts to increase hip rom (deep squat) improved rapidly

I was diagnosed w/FAI, labral tears, big cyst in the joint 15 yrs ago or so, now 71. I can be normal for weeks but when I move a certain way get a stabbing pain, when it flares up pain on movmt can persist for couple weeks. Hope to live out rest of my life w/out hip replacement, my joint lining is pretty good. I have had joint injections, sometimes help. Had some PT. I found a PT place where same therapist sees you every visit and stays with you for 50 minutes. All PHDs. Had 3 MRIs, also had a consult at Hosp for Special Surgery. You have to have a clean joint w/no degen changes at all before orthos will operate. I would not want a labral repair, the success rate even for the young not that great, the rehab is long. I have low back pain also, I wonder if my hip ROM limits affect the back.

Thanks for this video :) I get my right shoulder bursitis/tendonitis flaring up when my right hip goes wrong. Seems it's all connected?

Thank you 👏🙏💛

I deeply appreciate the information Shane has provided here. I went to a joint doctor for help with my extremely painful left hip and an x-ray showed a bone spur in the hip. He immediately sent me to physical therapy, which I didn't understand when I wanted a quick fix. I've been cooperating with the therapist without having any faith at all in the process. After watching this video now I completely understand why the physical therapy and my attitude toward it is much improved. Can't thank you enough!

Thank you. This is very helpful very well explained

I absolutely know I have this. And every Dr is saying it's just my back. It's my my disc. No tf it's not. I can do any back exercises. I can't fucking do a squat without feeling every muscle around my pelvis snap. And my left foot is always away from my body. Every dr is acting like I'm crazy. This video blew my mind just now. Appreciate it

Yep. Listening to you and a few others, I have overcome about 60% of my pain. I just realized you are Matt’s partner!! I love him too!!

Thank you Shane, my right hip has been having some weird feelings during external rotation and circumduction compared to my left hip for several years, its not super severe and I am able to do squats and hip hinging movements with resistance but it has been bothering me a lot. From watching your videos and sharing of experiences has brought me great comfort and gave me hope to this chronic condition of mine. I can feel your motivation and keep up the good work!

Where can I find your course or whatever? I have double hip impingement and it's really hurting all the time! Take my money! Found it, gunna sign up soon!

Janice - I have been doing the course for a couple of months now 6 days per week, and my hips are feeling a bit sore - should I back off a bit, carry on or just make 'easier' days?

Thank you so much for this info. I underwent Rt hip arthroscopy to fix my FAI it got better but not what I expected and I'm still struggling with Lt hip FAI . I do not want to undergo surgery for my Lt hip. I'm 58yrs old when younger I was an aerobic teacher and practice kickboxing. Know I'm a salsa dancer. It's a little difficult but I can do it not with the same flexibility as before, the one I used to have and want to recover so badly because most of the moves hurt and I love dancing. Seeing the variations to stretch is giving me hope. Thank you for the help, I will start with the stretches and hope in God I get better.

Do you recommend your program if you have an MRI and X-ray diagnosed labrum tear, gluteal tendon tear and throchatic bursitis BUT no bone impingement?

I had Total Left Hip replacement 10 yrs ago Bone on Bone I tried Everything this was the last option I had it and have No regrets Now I continue to exercise for pain feel Health Raw Turmeric root Good Gut Health

Hi Shane - Great content! Would you provide recommendations for an injury (twisting - POP! Crack! Femur moved out of socket)! Now, MRI confirmed labral tear but femur randomly moves out and is excruciating until I can “get it back in.” Walking with a walker, cannot drive, and taking every step with caution as this randomly happens now. I want to avoid surgery but don’t know how to make the femur subluxation / dislocation happening. Thanks!

Hi Shane, it Is the Fai Fix program in spanish?

Hi! Just stumbled upon you and Matt in my search for good exercises to help my FAI. I am looking forward to trying out your tips! I was wondering, my doctor did mention that even though my FAI might become unproblematic, it might give me a higher risk of arthritis and hip pain when I'm older (I'm in my late 20s), so surgery might be something that she recommends anyway. I am skeptical, I'd go crazy in the recovery period without assurance that it would be worth it. I'm a very active person, I do resistance training 3 times a week, I boulder as a hobby and I'm hyper flexible, so flexibility is not my issue. What does make my FAI unbearable is running, but I LOVE running, but after a couple of weeks of it, I start walking around like my hips are 90 years old. Got any tips for an active runner? Should I work on getting my FAI under control before doing more running? Thank you for the in-depth content! Can't believe I didn't find this sooner.

Hi there, I’m thinking about buying your FAI Fix guide but I want to be sure that it applies to hip impingement caused by os acetabuli?

....a great THANK YOU from Greece! I am 81 years old and i have osteoarthritis from 2017 and i still working in the field...

Hi how are you befoar I had alot of paint in my hip I started doing your exercises and all my paint went away little by little. I was about to have a surgery but I told my doctor not to do my surgery at the moment.

I was also wondering if you would recommend the FAI fix for someone who has bulging discs and one that is really bothering me right now. I also have hip imbalance, labrael tears, maybe SI joint issues and nerve issues that manifest itself with tingles in legs at times.

during your recovery time doing all this, what kind of job did you have? was your buttocks also a main source of pain? and lastly was your groin pain towards top of the hip or where thigh meets scrotrum? thanks for this vid!

What do you think about bone on bone hip socket. Should I try this. In Canada. The wait for hip replacement is 2 year wait. I would rather not do surgery

I bought FAI and I’ve been doing some exercises but my hips still hurting and I have a MRI with contrast schedule this Friday. What’s the best exercises or tissue work on pain on the side of the hips I tried the foam roller, baseball in the crisis of my hips but still tight, stiff and hurting.

Hi Shane. am I to understand "you had" surgeries at some point ..? Thanks

I was told I have FAI after years of doctors, X-rays, an MRI and tons of other test. I have sever pain in my right hip and mild pain in my left. I will also get back pain. My pelvis rotates so much that i have functioning scoliosis, always lean to the right and have to stand/walk with my hands on my back for support. I was told I should have hip abduction surgery to fix the problem. But it seems so many people have more pain after surgery. So I’m like what’s the point? Just to have some bone shaved? I just want to be in less pain and enjoy normal activities like road trips and hiking! I am now researching exercises hence how I got to your video! I did pt and they had me doing squats and lunges which made me insanely worse! Edit: hip arthroscopy surgery

Hi. Thank you very much for your video. I could really follow your suggestions. My orthopaedist after diagnosing an FAI on my right hip (cam) with a small lesion of the acetabular labrum, proposed surgery. I don't want to do it because I am afraid of the limitations and the consequences, but an osteopath which I talk to, told me that even if I have no pain, the protuberance in my femoral bone will wear away the cartilage earlier than normal and I will be condemned to prostheses in about ten years (I am 33 years old). She talks about anatomy and biomechanics from which we can escape. She says surgery has to be done even if you have no pain because it has a preventive value. I want to follow your advice but I would like an opinion. Is it true that if the bone is not perfectly round, it will cause early wear of the cartilage? Is it possible to avoid these consequences? Sorry for my English. I am Italian :)

Thanks for sharing but, can i use this exercise because I've bilateral osteoarthritis?

Where can you see(buy) the program?

What about acetabular dysplasia? Does what you talk about apply as well?

Hi Shane, what is the condition called when you have no irregularity on your ball and socket surface, or any kind of damage or bone spurs, but the hip bone is resting on a part of the lip of the femur bone where the cartilage looks to be squashed or flattened, ie. bone on bone.

I have Severe narrowing, bone socket w impedment no. Trying muscle straightening and stretching.

Hello everyone, I would like to share my story with FAI. Hope you guys can get some insights from it. It started during quarantine with severe pain on my left hip joint. I thought it was due to stiffness first, so I did stretches for a while. But things got worse with stretches. Later, I went to see an orthopedist. And he diagnosed me with CAM FAI after an MRI. As that orthopedist was not specialized in hip joint problems, he recommended me seeing another one. The second orthopedist told me that actually it is both of my femurs that have CAM FAI. For him, this was good news as it showed that the right side tolerated the FAI implying the left can do that too. Therefore, he decided to stick with non-surgical treatments with telling me that surgery will be the option only if my joint does not respond to them. Then he prescribed me a three month program. For the first month, he basically said no physical activity beyond daily routine. For the second month, he suggested me to go for long walks. And finally, he said go for runs in the last month. On top of that, he prescribed me to take an anti-inflamatuar painkiller (Cataflam) daily during that three months, and said come back after three months to tell if anything changed regarding pain. I sticked with that plan for three months and felt a little bit better actually. However, when I did not take the painkillers, the situation was not that different from what it had been three months ago. I told him these and stopped taking Cataflam. Then he suggested me to try the last option before possible surgery. This was direct PRP injections into my left joint. I had 3 shots of them with 3 months interval between each. Also, he recommended me to refrain from activities that puts weights directly on the hip joints during that time. So, I stopped doing leg presses and squats. Instead of them, I settled with leg extensions and leg curls at gym. After sticking to that PRP schedule, now I am doing great as I feel pain maybe only one or two days each month. I have an active lifestyle as I go to gym at least 3 days per week even though I skip squats and leg presses in leg days.

Will the plan help someone who's been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of both hips and recommended for surgery? Although they didn't try any other potential solutions the first suggestion was surgery, which I don't agree with. Will the FAI fix potentially assist

Hi Shane, the orthopaedic surgeon has said that I have this condition, and that lifting my femur up past 90 degrees and rotating internally( particularly under force on the left side) should be avoided completely, or I'll end up eventually needing a hip replacement, but I'm a Muay Thai Coach, so it's not exactly an option to completely stop flexion past 90, with internal rotation because so much of muay Thai is based on that very specific movement pattern. I'm thinking buying your program, or what would you suggest? Thanks!

Janice - Have you got to be a 'hoodeeny' to do this course? Also, I have an impingement and because of my age I know exactly what the Dr will say - no options! So can I try this even though I am not young?

Hi if my hip pain went away wille I was doing your exercises what that mean. I am bery bery scared my doctor told me before that I need a surgery but I been doing your exercises and I don’t feel pain I can sleep now whith out pain

I did an x-ray because I have being having a hip pain on my right leg for a while and Lowe back pain. I just got the result and they said I have a bilateral cranial acetabular retroversion in both hips legs my primary doctor said to go to orthopaedic surgeon to get the surgery but I’m really scared I don’t wanna do the surgery, I will go to an orthopaedic surgeon hope there is other alternative treatments.😭

What would u say about mild to moderate hip dysplasia?? Can it be fixed without surgery??

What if you have a labrum tear !! Have severe pain for 1 week. Also in bed, while sleeping. Sitting is almost impossible. Last year after MRI SCAN I was diagnosed with impingement.. but I was not bad all the time. I stretch, foamroll, exercise everyday. Can I heal a labrum tear.? Hope you can answer 🙏

So will pilates do.all the stretching needed espec if doing regularly for years?

Hi Shane i have followed the FIA fix since January last - just want to ask in very intense positions like the 90/90 which i have avoided for the super stiff exercise - my hip pops/cracks is this a problem it dosn't hurt as such! Should i do something extra?

Will this work if a person had hip dysplasure from birth (needed to be double diapered?) My daughter, at 43 has tried PT, massage, yoga, pilates, weight training, and anything else you can imagine for 1 year. She also has a cyst in her hip joint and her doctors have convinced her the only thing that can get her back to hiking, playing pickleball and have a pain-free life is a total hip replacement. I am terrified for her- but she has been working hard on all other methods. Will your program help her?

Well I had THR, because my hip bone was worn down. I am also much older than both of U 2. I also have As,OA,PA,Fibro, Pre-diabetes & COPD just to mention a few disorders I have. So it seems my lower back is now more of a problem as well as my serious neck pain from no more lordosis in my neck & piecing in my neck from C3 & C4 slipping but not unstable. (did the moving x-ray & it shows it isn't unstable. Nor the less I am in terrible neck pain almost all the time & can't tilt my head back to gurgle unless I bend my knees & tilt my who body backwards!!. I think a never abrasion I had that was messed up caused some of this neck pain. I was NOT on pain meds before & was able to tilt my head back without any neck pain. After this N.A. of my neck everything got worse! I have been on serious pain meds since. I am very upset & angry about how my neck is & how I have serious stiffness & constant pain even on pain meds. I am dirt poor so I am not privy to the very best PT care. I agree Massage is necessary to unlock tight muscles & get things back to more normal, but getting that cost a bundle! I won't get that deep massage I know would really help me get more function & help relieve much pain. It sadly does boil down to money & of course finding the right PT person who really knows how to help your body as it needs help. I'm in S'M Ca. do U know any decent deep massage people I could consider seeing to get say 1 hr. of massage from a trained pPT kind of person who really knows what to do with each persons body & ailments.? That is crucial the doing what is right for each person's body & not some pre-recorded program they use for everyone! I know it must B to each person body as it calls for certain type of massage & certain length of treatments to get something moving or changed for the better. ! size doesn't fit all as U well know. Anyhow, I like all U have said & think all avenues should B done before someone goes for hip surgery. it can't B undone as U said! I felt it was time after yrs. of pain & trying so many things that just didn't help me. I felt the longer I went without the surgery was just making my hip problem worse. I have old bones with the above mentioned bone, muscle & ligament issues.. I have always not been able to flex more move very well. Just not tilt with a limber body like dancers I would see or friends who could just sit down do the splits effortlessly & put their chest flat down on the floor without any real efforts & NO stretching beforehand. Just amazing. For me all the stretching in the world early allowed me to do the splits & it was much effort & pain to do so. Whereas my friend she could do it without batting an eye & certainly without effort or pain. She was born that way.I wasn't! So My dreams of being a ballerina were dashed from the get-go. My singing as well since my voice is so-so,& very low for a woman.I sang in choir & chorus in the Tenor section always, because I couldn't hit the high Alt. notes.. So my dreams of singing were also dashed. I also wanted to do acrobatics but again my joint limits killed that dream as well. I was however gifted in art & acting, but I really loved dancing & singing more.. Just not in the cards for me. I also wanted to play the piano, guitar & harp, but with my lung problems the harp was out & with my finger issues no guitar or piano for me either. Art isn't exactly an easy way to earn money nor is acting if U aren't big and famous. Also now as an older woman very little work comes my way. Even voice over is taken over mainly by famous people who's voices people already know so that film is killed off as well. I was wanting to do voice over since how U look never matters. U can B old & still do it, but it seems it is taken over by so many stars there isn't room for unknowns. Anyhow, would like to know of any ideas U may have for the likes of someone like me, old,ill & dirt poor..

Mi diagnóstico es protrusión acetabular bilateral de cadera. Es lo mismo que pinzamiento. Ojalá me respondas. Gracias

i have a question : i was told i have CAM hip impigment with very narow part of the hip joint (like 1mm or so) and that i have no hope to return to sports ( i played squash which is demanding for mobility) is this also included in your program ? meaning can someone improve with such a narrow part of the hip ( it is almost bone on bone now !)

Do you have something for no cartilage on the right hip and is very painful that I need to use a cane to walk my right leg is smaller 15 mm and schedule surgery on June 26 which I do not want. I need help please.

so in general is pilates not a good solution for all these exercises?

Shane how do you find someone who does tissue work?

My 14yo boy has FAI since pandemic, because he lacks of movement. It's really hard and painful for him to do stretchings. He must take pain killer to reduce the pain and ice compression. Can you help me to send the link to do stretching? Thank you so much for your help.

I am not sure if i have FAI.. i weight-lift 3-4 days a week and i have just changed my lifestyle after 2 yrs of desk job to a lifting lifestyle and can’t afford to get back to lazy life. Just wanted to know if i can do squats and deadlifts during the situation? I started feeling the symptoms about 1 mth and thought just sore muscles .

Any advise for AVN?

I'm so confused about my condition. I was diagnosed with spondylolysis last year but in the gym I was actually managing it very well as long as I was able to squat and deadlift. I actually did my deadlift PR after the scan lol Like the pain was more at that time when I went for the scan but later on it was very manageable. Orthopaedics never found any problems with moving my limbs and doing their tests but MRI showed it. Anyway ever since the lockdown the pain started to grow and I noticed doing one arm rows in the bent over position increased it twice for me. I have always had a painless snapping/popping in my hip joint there while moving the leg at a certain angle post my MRI scan last year but in the present condition all my muscles in the SI joint on the right side feel stiff. The pain seems to radiate down towards the knee too. Like I don't feel it's from meniscus but extending from the hip joint down to the knee. Even now the orthopedic couldn't find the symptoms of anything wrong with my spine and just sent me home saying it's musculoskeletal problem and that I need to perform stretches and yoga. Completely ignored everything I had to say about my SI joint. My piriformis muscle gets cramp now everytime I try to move my leg outwards abducting or whatever you call it. Those muscles on the hip outside feel tight, painful and gets cramps while doing that whereas if I layed down and put my legs in a figure 4 and applied force on the knee that hurts the inside. I'm clueless what I have but I'm very sure it's along the lines of this thing. To make it worse all the time looking at phone with my head resting against the wall laying down has given me neck and traps pain now on the same right side and this entire right side from neck, traps, back feel like they're full of trigger points now

Hello Shane, 21yo Male here. I did an MRI to the hip due to a tendinopaty on the rectus femoris but they found a CAM type conflict with "pistol grip" and i have labrum damage already. I play padel (lots of hip rotation and squating) and my hips and knees hurt after 30-60min of playing. I have poor ROM and poor flexibility. How will the program help me with preventing more damage to the acetabulum?

Hey, are Dr.Aaron Horschig’s videos helpful?
