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!!!

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,

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.

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!

[pacojazztorius]

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!

[lindagutspiel]

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.

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. 👌

[SJJensendk]

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.

[sharonmitchel]

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!

[chicosredhead]

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.

[Hesiod]

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.

[maryjanewesterlund]

My word, another good one! I’m starting to feel you’ve got a hidden camera following me and capturing exactly what I need!
Thanks for your work.

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.

[tinaahl]

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.

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:)

[GraceLJW]

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!

[elaineloader]

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.

[DanJoy]

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, for working at this!
