I am a 74 year old woman who does workouts for seniors and thought I was flexible until sharp inner thigh pain keeps me up all night. Doctors didn't find anything wrong, but the pain persists. I found your videos on abductor stretch and started right away. Looking forward to sleep through the night. Thank you for addressing a condition so many are suffering from,
we are 2 peas in a p od - my problem started after switching from a complex at home moving pattern (garden, tree climbing and more) to doing a lot of hiking (very uniform and onesided) - we'll be back to moving well again :) - cheers from Austria!
After suffering from hip pain for the last couple of years that has steadily worsened, including so much pain sleeping at night that it was waking me up several times a night, I found this video about three weeks ago. After ONE DAY of doing these, I felt IMMEDIATE relief. And one day meant 5 reps each. That was all it took! I now do them nearly every day. I still have some hip pain, and pain in the groin, but it doesn’t wake me up at night anymore. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
My right hip pain began with walking up hills and progressed from there. After doing one set of these two exercises, I can feel a difference. I will continue these exercises and rebuild my strength. Thank you so much for a simple solution presented with a delightful since of humor. Again, thank you! I look forward to your other videos.
He takes time to address common cures that dont help. He skips over injections and surgery and directs you to another video. I wouldnt call it dancing around the kitchen when an expert/professional in his field decides to volunteer his expertise to frickin help you.
Dude, the symptoms described are EXACTLY what I had. I wish it hadn't taken 18 months to come across your video. Within 2 weeks of doing the two exercises, I was 100% cured. Thank you so much! You gave me my life back!
I have been having sharp pains in my right hip on and off for about a year. I have been doing your exercises for about a week now, and I can already feel an improvement. I did the excercises on both legs, and the right leg/hip was measurable weaker than the left. So strengthening the weak leg/hip made sense. It helped, so I guess that I owe you a like and a comment. Thank you.
I started my first exercises with you yesterday, and today my hips and neck already feel better. It's amazing! As a doctoral student, I spend so much time typing at the computer that it appears my muscles have been getting weak even though I work a lot in my yard. Now, I am going to include your videos as part of my daily exercise. You are so helpful!
You are quickly becoming my favorite go-to for instruction about my body! Precovid I was very active and fit for my age of 69. You're helping me get back to my former self! Thank you, keep up the super videos:)
Agree, precovid I was very active. but hanging out doing nothing but lying avout lost my muscle tone, plus the addition of a med that has weight gain, fluid retention, severe depression and a long list of other horrific side effects made me lose myself. Severe hip pain has further hobbled the recovery of myself. So thank you for this yt channel.
My sudden sharp hip pain turned out to be a fist-sized TUMOR right where the femoral artery/vein/nerve met, no joke. Apparently, it had been growing since I was a teen. This hip pain appeared in my early 60s, came out of nowhere. So painful, I couldn't walk, crawl, lay down- just murderous. It had nothing to do w/muscle, tendons, etc. Paramedics had to carry me out. The ER docs were almost useless until one decided to throw me in the CT where they saw the tumor. Then everything went downhill. I tell you this to consider all options, not just issues you think related to musculature or connective tissues.
For all the people commenting down below about sharp hip pain, there is a very good chance you have osteoarthritis of the hip, where some of the cartilage has worn away on the femur and also the socket of the joint, resulting in a sharp pain when the bone of the femur rubs against the bone of the socket. You may also have bone spurs on the femur which is tearing into the cartilage on the socket. Instead of assuming you have muscle problems, get x-rays done of your hip joints. Also, get ultrasound done on your hip joints which will show up any bone spurs, and you may be surprised to find out that the femur or ball is no longer round, but has hills and valleys in it from the bone spurs and bone rubbing on bone.
No wonder I didn't have this pain until I stopped doing yoga a year and a half ago!!! Two weeks ago I decided to do yoga at home, and really saw how much my muscles had atrophied and have been very slowly gaining muscle strength back, but still was having pain. Now here is your video, that gives me the reason behind the pain and what to do about it. Thank you, THANK YOU!!!
Hello mate. I want to appreciate you for these two experiences. I have had hip impingement for last two years, tried phisiyo and did exercises I felt minor improvement. Once I tried these two exercises my hip pain faded away and I don’t feel pain anymore. I bought FIX fix. But this particular exercises changed everything. I am so grateful. Keep up the good work. 👌
Thanks so much! Getting lost in the reason for the pain I was getting no where. Your advice to just focus on muscles with these exercises has brought me closer to being pain free then anything.
I know you posted this video 2 years ago but I just found it. I have severe stabbing pains exactly what you describe. I'm praying your exercises will help. I did a few reps and it hits EXACTLY the places where I have those stabbing pains. I'm going to give this a try. Lord I hope it works. Thank you for the video.
@@lovehometheater Saw a PT and did similar stretching exercises on a 2 day or everyday basis, i was also told to use heat instead of ice to calm pain which helped so much more. I’d say I recovered around 90% after doing this and it’s only been 3 weeks. I can now walk and run normally with almost no pain. You can do it!
I’m a triathlete and I’ve been dealing with hip/ glute pain for a while. Despite how much rest and recovery I allowed between workouts the pain came back again and again. I started doing this exercises a month ago and I definitely can tell the difference! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Amazing. I've been in bed for almost 3 days. I tried every stretch, excersice, medication without any relief, so I was hesitant thinking that the exercise would be painful, but it stops the pain right away when I'm doing the excercice.
Good Morning Matt. It is morning, not that it matters to me as I've been awake all night with pain. In my efforts to find anything to relieve this pain enough to get some sleep I came across your channel. I've been in pain for decades and lately it's become unbearable. I've had plenty of advice from friends, family, professionals, and complete strangers and it all points to knee replacement surgery. I say to them "Why stop at my knees when all other parts of me hurt just as much if not more?" It's my birthday today (73) and my birthday wish came true. I finally found someone who is aligned with what I've thought for years but didn't know what to do about it. I may have to get surgery but I want to try some other methods first starting with your channel. Now that I've subscribed I'll begin today. Cheers from Canada 🖐🙂
Was in severe pain before I came across your channel. After watching, I decided to give it a try. On the fourth day of trying your two workout, I could barely feel the pain😁... Before a week I was 100% healed. You are God sent. Thanks so much for this.🙏 I was really planning on going for check up and was so sure I'll need a surgery cos the pain was too much -i was practically limping. I was so afraid of the diagnosis I might get in the hospital so I started browsing about flexor strain. Tried many suggested workout from different other RU-vid videos but it only got worse UNTIL I FOUND YOU. Just your two SIMPLE workout changed my story. I had to come back and testify so others can know your methods are great. Thanks.🤗
Those two exercises for full hip rotation are already relieving my mysterious, chronic hip pain. Biking, playing drums, jogging, squatting--too much movement for me in only one plane. Thinking of a similar joint, imagine if I only moved my shoulder back and forth and never out to the side or inward. That's essentially what I've doing to my poor hips for such a long time. Very logical, simple and powerful stuff. Thank you so much!!
As a busy drummer and a health professional, I can advise you strongly to raise your drum seat up so that your thigh bone is pointing slightly downwards. This means the angle of the hip is such that the hip joint is higher than the knee joint. This essentially opens up the hip a little and reduces the impingement we often see with drummers and especially with the bass drum side leg/hip. Chronic flexure during drumming will cause a slight increase in bone mass near where the thigh bone comes close to the labrum . As a result this will cause chronic inflammation and potentially damage your labrum, both which also may cause a cyst to form causing further discomfort and pain. This is a common drummer injury .. do yourself a favor and raise your seat till your knee Height is below your hip joint level. Use a wider throne and preferably one with a lower back support. This helped me immensely and helped me avoid surgery. Good luck bro

@@Taleb1160 Thank you SO much for your response. Very wise and helpful. A couple follow-up questions if you don't mind: What brand of drum stool do you use? Curious if you've played around with heel down on the kcik drum and if that has provided relief?
I had this issue. I was sent to pt which didn’t help, then to orthopedic dr. He ordered an mri which showed the minor arthritis and cysts. Fortunately he was honest and told me to keep exercising. I am now working to build strength. Thanks for this video!
Right here, right now, as of this moment - you are my hero! I did ONE SET (5 reps each side as you describe) of the first exercise and ONLY the first exercise ~2 hours ago and........75% of the past three straight months of intermittent needling pain in my right hip is gone (I cycled to the gym and did legs today after doing those movements and my workout was also much better than it normally is). This regimen is now included in my list of maintenance/strengthening exercises - looking forward to see how much actual, long-term improvements I can achieve. THANK YOU!!!!
@@Uprighthealth Have had three years of right upper buttock pain when I bend over to pick something up, then it really hits when I stand up. Its in one distinct spot every time. MRI of pelvis/SI was negative. So no one knows whats going on. I need to exercise more.
Well, I started your exercises for the hip, doing them in the morning after waking. The pain intensified to a point I thought my head was going to blow off my shoulders... but then...... this morning I was at the kitchen counter, and the pain was bad I was struggling to make coffee, and I simply lifted my left leg from the knee allowing my hip to fall into place... and it popped, GLORY! The intense torque dissipated immediately. It still feels weak and wobbly... but have mercy, the pain has lessened. For love and mercy, THANK YOU! I am subscribed!
I want to mention that some people arent even at the stage where they can do these simple exercises. I was in that camp and had to work my way up. Some things that helped me were a simple Tai Chi practice for Beginners and Seniors, and Feldenkrais, specifically Jodi Kranz who also has a You tube channel. Simple ways to move and help develop neuroplasticity which is an essential part of moving our muscles. I trust this is not offensive to you, Matt because I think your channel is great and I am learning a lot from you. Thx.
Thank you so much! For years, I’ve had major hip pain that starting cause low back pain. Never occurred to me that my hips were weak. A week of doing targeted moves and I feel so much better!
I watched this video around 6 months ago and had to dig to find it again just to leave a comment. Exercise 1 has completely changed my life. I was so limited in my exercise because of the stabbing pains I was getting exactly like you described. After trying the exercise twice, I had some relief but after a week, the stabbing was almost completely gone. Thank you so so so so much
I'm a ballroom dancer and get this all the time! I figured my inner thigh muscles were strong enough, but the rest of that area is probably just way stronger and unbalances it. Definitely going to work on this since I deal with enough chronic pain as it is!
Started to do these. Best advice for me was to do more exercise on my weak side, and even if I barely get my leg off the ground on exercise number one don't let back tip, keep straight. This exercise used to make me worse, because I was doing it with bad form, and has now has made me much better. 75 years old, small scoliosis, huge lordosis, and doc advised no surgery as pelvis is fused to spine at S3-tailbone. This is helping!!
Definitely take it easy at first, you'll probably want to start out like he says with just one rep for the first few days. My husband overdid it and he was in a lot of pain for a few days until he started over again and kept it light at first. It's been a couple of weeks and he says he's never felt better and can walk and move around without pain. Amazing since he's had that issue for a few years and has been to 3 physical therapist who he's thinking overworked his groin and hip muscles with hard exercises. Thank you thank you so much!!
I’m so lucky to have discovered this video, I had real trouble with right sided groin pain and just knew exercise 2 would be hell, oh boy was I right. But, you know what!? The range of motion increased massively just after a couple of sets. Still a long way to go but can see this being such a helpful tool. Thank you so much!!
I was recently diagnosed with chondrosarcoma, which is a rare bone cancer growing into my right acetabulum, causing pain and waddling when I walked. If I did all of these suggested exercises and stretches and continued neglecting to get examined by a real doctor there is a high likelihood I would have broken my pelvis. The first x rays showed a possible cyst, so I got an MRI which showed the cancer growing around the acetabulum. Please don't ignore your pain. I recently retired from surveying and worked many days in spite of my pain, and wish I had gone to a competent doctor sooner.
You bring up a good point. However, most should know quickly if these exercises don’t improve their situation. The tough part is getting the doc to order the MRI. Insurance makes them wait at least 6-8 weeks after an x-ray to order the MRI. That’s a great time to be looking into these sorts of strength training exercises.
Wow!! I got woken up at 6 am with a sudden outer rear/hip pain and have been trying to find anything to help at all. I could barely walk to the bathroom! These stretches lessened the pain about halfway immediately! Subscribing!
Thank you! Extremely helpful. I am one of those folks who started experiencing the sharp pain and was told I have early arthritis. Doing these exercises now :) Appreciate you!
For me it was piriformis syndrome making me think sciatic nerve. My butt would hurt after a move then go away, then come back, then go away again. This was driving me crazy. My doctor wanted to medicate, NO! Then I found this channel and with Matt's wisdom and sharing of knowledge, I am able to correct years of bad posture habits and now my intermittent butt pain has almost diminished completely. There is a reason humans were meant to squat all their lives.
@@ronnyschimmeck7338 I’m not the one whom you asked but: Clamshell exercises and strengthening my core are what cured my piriformis syndrome. I learned them from my physical therapist, but there are a lot of helpful videos on RU-vid too!
After 16 years of limping due to a shar pain in the left hip I found a sort of miracle exercise: grasping a foot stool, kneel down fully pushing ones hips down and back to get the hip forward and stand back up leaning on the stool. Two reasons its broadly applicable to the general public: 1, most people do not get off the floor often and need practice and exercise at that; 2, forward hip position is one of the most crucial keys to sitting posture and habitual sitting in chairs tends to destroy that.
Like the focus on muscle development as a best practice versus the rest, ice, injections, pills and surgery. This focus allows me to gradually become stronger versus the temporary feel good pain free moment that doesn’t add anything to become stronger.
Wow thank you. I have been suffering with sharp hip pain for years!. Will do these exercises along with the others you have recommended. Love your channel.
This is the first time I finally understand what was causing the groin pain I randomly felt, along with my knee pain. I've been going to P. T. to strengthen my leg and hip muscles because I'd stopped walking due to knee and groin pain, and a fear of injury or a fall while walking. Since I've started stretching my muscles, I have less pain in both my knee and my groin, and better mobility/stability. Thank you for helping me understand why my groin pain was happening. I'm saving this video for sure.
I'm only a third of the way through this video and already am feeling very benefitted by it! Really helpfully affirms my previous intuitive sense (in which I had yet to develop confidence) that my hip pain is repelled by engaging my adductors in resistance training. Now I know where to focus. Thanks so much!!
Wow, I so wish you had been around before I fell for the RIIPS! My diagnosis was Labrum Tear and yes, I got the surgery. Well… you guessed it, the pain is back again but thanks to you I have the option of a new and more sustainable approach to my groin pain.
This is a great video. I never had hip pain until I had Covid. Then I started experiencing those sudden sharp pains in my him, both outer thigh and inner thigh, which started to affect how I walked. These exercises plus some others for the gluteus minimus/medius have really helped, though I still feels some aches and tightness, the sharp pains have gone away. Thank you!
I can’t believe I saw your message. That is what just happened to me! I had CoVid 2 months ago. After 5 weeks of variable symptomatology I suddenly had this stabbing pain in my hip and thigh. Luckily 2-3 weeks later I saw this video; obtained considerable relief a few days later. Now I’m walking the beach again, and resuming greater activity in the pool. CoVid is still wearing me out, but thanks to this video I have hope for my leg. Thanks to you both (message writer, and vid creator).
Doing these exercises and ones from your other videos had an immediate effect on me. I just started doing karate, stretching and strengthening my body in all sorts of new ways. Simultaneously I started practicing my deep squat, which I thought would be a great all-around hip exercise. But then recently I started getting some pain on the outside of my hip, and after googling "karate hip pain" I was deep in scientific articles about "Femoroacetabular Impingement" aka bone-on-bone hip pain. To make sense of it, I turned to RU-vid (maybe not the best idea generally, but it did end up working for me this time I think), and thank the algorithm for guiding me here. The exercises have been an instant relief on my hips, and as long as they feel good, I don't think I'm gonna worry too much about my bones. I'm not even gonna stop with the squats. Maybe I'll turn down the intensity a little, and definitely listen to the pain, but I think my hips need work in all aspects. So, thanks a million!
So beautiful of you to show your support this way. This info is priceless. I wish I could support that way. But I will support for now by sending this to many I know will benefit. I wish you well on your journey of healing. 💪🙏
Thanks for this video. I just started experiencing hip pain like you described and thought initially that I had broken my hip. I figured out it was from the muscles and am scheduled for p.t. but am using your exercises to help me until that visit. Thank you.
The point at 5:24 is so true. I think even people who deadlift and squat a lot can have underdeveloped hip muscles and will just outsource the power required to other muscles which just causes further imbalances.
I thought powerlifting and sprints were all I needed. I did some agility drills too like side to side shuffles and light sprints with directional changes around cones but it wasn't enough (I also sat too much when not exercising). My hips are a disaster right now and my butt muscles like to irritate my sciatic nerves plus the sharp pains the video shows. It's annoying how many people I know did the same lifting I did or don't exercise at all and have no pain. I may have fared better if I stuck to martial arts.
I LOVE that this video addresses an issue that may be deeper/more complex than simply calling a painful hip a labral tear. As an active individual I didn’t understand what could be the root of my pain and dreaded a labrum tear diagnosis. Thank you for not only giving an introduction and explanation, but also providing exercises to target the problem.
Great video, from the explanation to the exercises. It took me about two years to figure out that the issue with my hip had a lot more to do with muscles than with bone. These exercises look right on target, I've also found stabilization exercises help my bad hip enormously too. Thanks for your videos on hips, you've been on target for me so far.
I should have watched your video 2 years back instead of eating them. I am having this hip and groin shock pain for almost two years. Tried every medication and all doctors said there is nothing. But has many sleepless nights. But these two exercises are like magic for the pain.
I’ve been to 3 Ortho Drs for hip pain like this for 2 years. They all said the same things. Pills, shots, x rays, MRI, and last but not least hip replacement !!! So I e decided to listen to your teaching because I believe you are telling the truth!! Wonder how many people have had hip replacement who didn’t need it!! Thank you!!
I really appreciate you for helping us with this wonderful information and thank you for being so sincere in sharing with all of us who need the help. Much success to you in your endeavors.
I was a runner for years, but eventually got hip pain -- then was diagnosed with FAI. The exercises I was given did nothing to help and often caused more pain in the long term of continued practice. This was the first time that 1) I finally understand the CAUSE and 2) feel like I can actually DO something about it. A couple of weeks ago, I tried some of my old favorite pilates exercises to increase the strength in my hips, but the muscle degeneration was so much (due to thinking in terms of "bone instead of muscle") I couldn't even do the leg lifts. I tried these out -- I can actually do them!! I'm so thrilled, I cried .... ;oD. Thank you!!!
"Robin Griggs Wood" Glad you found exercises right for you. However I could scream about how often "Physical therapy" is recommended for pain especially pain in joints and oftentimes at the hip. I have known people who have been made worse by physical therapy and by horrific exercises that make you continually move an injured or damaged joint or body part . The exercises shown in this video would not do me any good. I have really bad hip pain and it hurts to even twist at the waist a bit while sitting down or by bending down slightly. Doing sit-ups hurts at the hip joint so I had to quit them. You can take it for granted if you don't have the hip pain I have, but some slight movements , reaching, turning, bending really is carried out to a large extent from the hip area. Sometimes exercising the area is not the answer at all.
@@obscurelyvague -- My hip pain was excruciating -- so much that there were days I could not even walk. I would go to bed in tears and wake up in tears. Since I have been doing these (and thinking "muscles instead of bone") I'm actually able to walk again. Everyone wants to think, "Oh, my pain is worse than anyone's. No one else could actually know what _real_ pain is." ... to think "I'm a special case" or "my life is worse than yours" because it makes it somehow "justifiable" to be debilitated. My friend, I ask first, what is valuable to you about keeping your chronic pain? ... does it keep others in sympathy with you? ... does it help you to justify being weaker than someone else? Those aren't accusations, truly! -- they are genuine questions. Ask yourself, "why am I holding onto this pain?". It will open doors. Otherwise, "Argue *_for_* your disabilities and you get to *_keep_* them." The only thing that changes a condition of life is to make the decision to change it -- and accept no other options.
Im 67 and a physiotherapist. I got sudden sharp hip pain a month ago and have been hobbling around trying to open up my hip, go walking with poles. Ive been almost unable to straighten up properly until I have warmed up a little and it hurts most of the night and is getting hard to reach my feet as it hurts. today I went to the pool and did the first exercise in the water before seeing this video. my hip felt better- so when I saw the video I knew you were onto something. Ive had a go and although my range is limited compared to yours it already feels little better. Im going to keep doing your exercises and go skiing next week. Thanks so much- you present really well- funny and sound sense. Good job.
This helped a lot. I strained my obturador externus way back in 2012 running and it flares up a lot when I run, but I have tight hips and weak abs from sitting so much. The first exercise felt like a workout without any added weight. I guess I tend to work on the inner part where I got hurt instead of the outside as much. Thank you so much! I’m going to start doing these every day to help combat my sitting so much.
Started these exercises the 1st day I saw this video what a relief from the pain. Been doing this 3x day awesome results can't believe the pain relief. Now I can sleep and not have to worry if I needed surgery, thank you!
FINALLY! I have been looking for answers to the issue you address here for SEVERAL years. And YOU have the answers bang on, man! I stopped taking pain reliever pills and creams because they did not even come close to giving relief!
I have researched the “big medical” websites (essentially stuck in western medicine: “ take meds and rest”) for weeks. I came across your RU-vid channel and watched this video, saved it, smashed the like and bell icon. This is the gold standard of advice for all of us hip pain sufferers. I can’t Thank You enough.
I'm in my 20s and have had hip pain since I was a young teen and never thought anyone else experienced hip pain at my age (Dr's were also very unhelpful) I exercise 5 days a week but these excersizes are gard and hurt good B) and I def feel where the weakness in my hip is by doing them. Thanku for this videooooo
Well done! This is a well reasoned out and a solid presentation of what we are missing out on when dealing with the hip leg back physiology. Motion, strength, balance, Pain management, ........Thanks for working at this!
🙏❤ All I can say is Thank You! Wow! You just gave me hope. I am 43, and just diagnosed with 3 herniated discs. 3,4,5. But the bigger issue, is the extreme hip pain on my left side. In my groin. And front thigh. And upper buttocks. Maybe coming from discs or not. Who knows right? I have been so depressed. Feeling trapped in my body. A very active person, being a proffesional organizer, street vendor, I cycle, and go dancing regularly. Now, I can't do any of that withought forcing myself through it. My partner sent me this. And I feel hope from your very real talk. I love it. Entertaining. Funny. Easy to understand. Can really see everything you are saying. Makes so much sense. I am so excited to add these excercises to my routine of RIIPS..lol. And my stretches. Refuse to do injections. I only take Advil now.. And lidocaine patches. I was doing the frog position sleeping too, but realized I was prob making it worse and you confirmed that. 🙏 Perscription pills haven't worked. To everyone.. Hang in there. You are not alone. What I am learning, is really pay attention to your body.. Try different things.. And learn what works. These exercises seem like they will help alot. So thanks again for what you do sir! Wishing everyone well! 💪💖✨✨✨✨
@M2 It's very possible that your hip problems are from the nerves at your hernated disks. The hip exercises won't do any harm. But you may need to do sensible things for your back. A real expert on such things: Stuart McGill has written two books about such things. They are intended for experts, but some of the advice might help you. I remember just a few things from them. The first is that you should start with building up stability, not movement in the back, The second thing is that all the usual abs training load the spine too much. It's because they are dynamic, and bends the spine. I was operated for an acute hernated disk 30 years ago. It took years to get compleatly free of all weakness. But a rowing machine worked for me. Because there you load the back without bending the spine. Now I can do all the exercises Stuart McGill warns about, such as hanging leg raises. I'm not a medical expert, although I obviously have a very long (35 years) interest of these things, even after I myself got rid of all problems,
I'm a golfer (right handed) and my right inner thigh has been killing me. I've tried several different stretches and routines to try and relieve the pain. Some have worked a little, but I will definitely be trying these to fix me up.
I have been suffering with right hip pain for a few years that has progressively getting worse. My doc keeps sending me for PT which only seems to be making it worse! I am so thankful for finding your video. I wasn't even searching for anything having to do with my hip (I had given up hope lol). So it was a complete fluke....a THANKFUL fluke! You have described exactly what I have been suffering with, and said all the things my doctor said. I am anxious to try these exercises and see if they help. My hip issue is so bad, I am no longer able to do anything with my son (who is Autistic and has special needs) and requires all of my time and energy. Its heartbreaking when I can't keep up with him or go for walks which is his FAVORITE thing to do. Like I said, I am so anxious to try these suggestions. I will start slow and see if I can progress into 15 reps (fingers crossed). I am starting today...I will keep you posted (or anyone else that's interested in knowing if this worked for me)! Thank you again for making these videos. I and my son will be forever grateful if I can make this work for me and he can get his Mom back!
@@brianbailey462 I did it for a day or two then we had a death in the family in another state and needless to say I was responsible for all the arrangements and estate stuff afterwards. I didn't get to go any further with this. However I am starting again and I will keep you posted!!
@@Councilof8for43 I wanted to reply once more because i was driving and didnt have time to focus on a proper reply... Im sorry to hear about the death in the familly... THat is very tough ! Ive also dealt with this recently and estate issues are or can be a nightmare .. I hope all went well as could be hoped for. Here is to life , what we have, and better health going forward..
After recently walking extensively every day on a 10 day holiday, I started to suffer from extremely very sore outer hip pains, and started to suffer from restless legs at night too. I looked up your channel, as I remembered you always explain things very clearly. Thankfully I've found you, and it all makes perfect sense regarding the little mussel usage surrounding the hips, as I was walking a minimum of 6 to 8 miles a day! I am going to gentle start these exercises and hopefully I will see some relief. Thank you Upright Health. (plus you make your clips really interesting and fun to watch)

Thank you so much for this! I was in a terrible accident then end of last year and in a coma all of January. I have a severe brain injury that effects the controls of my muscles but also lost 30lbs from muscle deteriorating in my coma and the leg surgeries they had to do to fix my leg breaks has thrown off my ability to gain muscle properly but these help with my hip muscles that I need to strengthen for me to continue relearning to walk! Thank you so so much!
hey Matt. 'clunkey & Junkey' yeah, that's my left hip. gnarley in there. ?? do you have clients generally push thru/disregard those catching clunks & continue the exercises? ? I know we are all different... just curious whatyoir thoughts are. thank you!! 💕Ms. anterior Labral & Bilateral Hamstring Tears left hip ( suuuucks) OMG! you just answered my question. just before the end of vid. thank you 👍👍👍
My hips were never an issue and recently at work I sat cross legged for over an hour helping put children to sleep patting two and having one in my lap. When I had to get up felt weird stiffness which I just walk off but then got up next day had pain that hasn’t subsided for over week, I was about to go doctors but found you instead. I’ll try this instead 😊
My inner groan area started to hurt after certain sex positions. I gave those a break and this video has given me a lot of insight of what happened that made sense.
Just discovered your channel and watched several videos so far. This one resonates with me. Being told that rest is the solution to issues that are caused by a sedentary lifestyle just keeps people trapped in a cycle and it's disappointing that it's the most common answer doctors give. I wish physiotherapy was more accessible so people could get help from experts in these issues instead of a doctor who had just a crash course on joint pain many years ago.
26Y/O Male, stretching hips and hamstrings this past week… and then today OUCH sudden pain! This exact situation happened and I can confirm I have muscle weakness even though I’m fairly active. Ty for the knowledge
Last Wednesday I had really sharp pains in my groin and hip it nearly made me fall down, I've done this for 3 days and the difference is massive, I still know the pain is there but the improvement is unbelievable. Many thanks I really thought my hips were shot.
I had this type of pain for 3 years now it comes and goes some times the pain is 24/7 for month and it goes for a week Im lost my hips are functional but the pain its to much I hope its only muscle.problem
I started feel the left hip pain a year ago, Dr. gave me injection and rest for sooooo long , no jogging running climbing , but the left hip pain is still there, and the right said hip pain just started. thank you so much for the videos and I will start to the 2 exercises you showed , I will give you update in the future if it kills my hip pain, appreciated you very much ahead of time .
OMG I have been struggling with hip pain on and off for 6 months. I was at my wits end and even had to let go of my PoLe work! I just did not know what to do anymore? I am retired dancer, Pilates Instructor so this one really got me. I think it has become a mental health issue as well. To be honest I have alway had issues with my hips but your video is really helping me. I am very flexible but definitely weak in other areas. I am so grateful to find your video. I am just starting but reading comments and doing theses exercises I am so very hopeful!
In an attempt to improve my hip mobility I had overstretched in a manner similar to the presenter , I took on board his take on the problem - it made perfect sense , so I did the exercises he demonstrated , they worked really well and I will continue them, thanks.
My diagnoses is arthritis. (69, my age) A lot of pain in inner hip en knee. (Exact sharp pain). I thought this is the end and learn to live with pain. But thanks for your video. Now I know what to do and it gives hope without thinking of surgery. Never!!
Matt @uprighthealth, I have watched a ton of videos after being diagnosed with right inner hip arthritis. Yours is the first one I've seen that emphasizes range of motion. Your movements in this video include way more range of motion than any of the others I have watched. And those others have not been that effective for a year now. I'm going to give yours a try in this video because of the range of motion aspect. Thank you for publishing this video, Matt!
I've had a pain in my front right hip socket for weeks now. I kept thinking it would just heal, but no luck. I tried heat pads and resting like you said, and of course no luck. I'm at the stage of cheat-walking like you described and it's just feeling terrible. I'm going to really work at these exercises and I'll let you know how it goes.
Everything this guy is talking about has been my hip recovery journey to a T; it was slow going for me and it had its ups and downs because I was trying to figure it all out on my own, but fixing biomechanical problems (I.e. muscle imbalances, range of motion deficits, stabilizing muscle neglects/atrophy) really does feel like a miracle cure, and makes your body start functioning the way it seemed to before the onset of this type of problem which for me feels like going from feeling physically geriatric in my mid 20s to now feeling almost as mobile, durable, and pain free as I was in my teenage years, a decade after the onset of my pain. So anyone's out there and Young and having these problems really listen to what this guy is saying and don't lose hope because I think an overwhelmingly majority of cases it's not going to be old age setting in, but rather you just needing to recalibrate how you move in a way that won't over the next handful of decades actually destroy your body; Pain like this is in most cases a communication to you that something is not working properly, and I though the severity of the pain feels like catastrophic damage, it was in my case not actually, and more like a very strong warning that if I didn't fix my biomechanical problems there would be catastrophic damage eventually. The only way out is through, and for me that meant regaining range of motion which allowed me to strengthen in all ranges of motion and reversing the atrophy of the myriad of small hip support muscles that I was apparently just not using, despite being a runner and lifting weights
Hey Joshua, where was your pain occurring? I am currently having left groin/hip pain and it's to the point where I can't even sneeze from the pain I'm having , my mobility is getting slightly better. But even simple exercises like supine straight leg raise is painful and noticeably weak!
Geriatric. . . That's how I've felt the last 11 years. 30 years old now. Hope your right bud, cause I'm sicking of hurting whether I'm sitting standing or shuffling around.
This was GREAT! I walk 2-3 miles most days of the week for exercise and then I sit for hours to practice guitar. I stand up and my hip is pinched, like crazy! I’m incorporating these exercises TODAY! Thanks!!!
Oh my gosh, I have had this sharp deep groin pain off and on - only on the right side - since my teens. It is so intense and happens when I try to stand and take a step. Lately, it has been almost daily. I was so discouraged. Thanks for this video! I feel hopeful now for the first time.
