I have had outer hip pain located on the iliac crest with no relief for months. I still do my cardio and weight lifting and can barely walk the next day! after doing theses stretches just one time.... it's already relieved my pain by 75%!! that is crazy. It actually came down to no pain after the stretch. I was astounded!! Yes after working out it came back but not as bad! THANK YOU SO IT WORKS!!!

You are an amazing human being. I will be doing this stretch daily from now on! Many many thanks!

Buddy! thank you. Bless your kind heart for sharing

I needed this! Definitely booking marking this one and setting reminders to continue with this stretch. My right hip was screaming.

Oh i struggled with this for years. I'm a EMT and its hard to get relief. I first learned about the IT band about 10 years ago when I actually snapped it from overuse of activity. Since then it can get really tight. No matter how much stretching I do sometimes I can still not get the relief that I need. Usually pressure point massage helps with this.

Instant relief for me. Ive been looking for a movement to turn off my TFL and I think Ive finally found it thanks to you! Much appreciated!

[gabethompson]

I'm finding this stretch to be very challenging and impactful for my hip issue. The first time I did it I felt very tender afterwards despite having been doing the healthy hips program for the previous month or so, but the subsequent times I've done this the results have been amazing so my recommendation would be to ease into this one. When you get into it it's quite intense. I really have to breathe through those ninety seconds but the results are there without a doubt. Amazing stretch!

[Idkwyr]

Wow! I did this stretch and felt everything crack. Thanks!

How did this IT band and TFL stretch feel for you? Drop me a comment!

Never heard of any practitioner of shaolin martial arts having hip pain or problems. This is what I’m reminded of whenever I see you get into awkward positions. Now I understand why some moves don’t look practical. It’s health benefits thrown in for good measure.

Just found your channel last week and started immediately doing two hip videos. Curious if anyone else has been told they need hip replacement surgery and has avoided it with these hip s

[danhall]

Thank you so much! I have been disabled for 13 years with trigeminal neuralgia and live in constant pain. This causes me to spend a great deal of time sleeping to avoid the pain. Because of this I am lots of hip pain from years of inactivity. Hopefully this will help!

I like the stretch without hip flexion. This was nice. 👍

[emmaeIIe]

It's great with bonus stretches of side body. Off topic, I got aches in the hip flexors while stretching them. 😮

[poincareconjecture]

Your so awesome...I was on vacation and while strength training hurt my low back somehow...was not even doing anything crazy...for the next two weeks was only doing body stretching exercises with a coach....man it was so awesome and I was breaking a sweat everyday...I discovered how poor my stretch and mobility was....I will be doing this from here on out...do you have a stretching program?? Would pay

[jimcastillo]

Hello, great video. I have subscribed. I would like to ask what video do you have on inner thigh exercises. I have my inner hamstring get tight like its pulling. I would like to do some exercises that would relieve and strenghening that muscle. thank

THIS is what I've been looking for. I searched everywhere and couldn't find this. I am a climber and I keep injuring SOMETHING in my hips. I can't figure out what but it hurts so bad. It hurts on the outside of my hip right where the joint is on the back a little bit. And it causes me to limp for a few days every time I do it. I know I have hip flexibility problems from an IT desk job and years of being sedentary, even though I'm only 24. So I assume it must be something I need to stretch. But the stretches I found for IT bands online and outer hip stretches just didn't seem to target where it hurt. I think this is going to be it! I'll let you know if it.

There is a pose in Yin Yoga called “Cat Pulling Tail”. It is an excellent stretch for the IT Band. My hips are chronically cranky and this pose does wonders for relieving my hip pain.
