Holy moly, I have been dealing with this issue for over 3 years now and I tried a wide variety of mobility exercises without success. This video describes my issue so accurately and the solution seems to work wonders already. Thank you so, so much!!

[mylesfranklin]

I can’t thank you enough for your content. As a young person I find my peers rarely talk about the importance of mobility. You have saved many peoples joints, including myself.

Exactly what i needed, noticed recently i tend to lean to my left side thank you :)

[maymayrays]

Thank you _so much_ for your detailed, specific, accurate, and relevant videos. You have really helped me diagnose and start to work on my hip issues in my squat AND you’re saving me money because I will have a lot of this sorted before I meet with a physical therapist in my area to work on my specific situation. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼

my God! i really needed this so badly! i have been searching high and low for answers.
i notice i shift to my left when squatting, and also, doing lunges or RDL gets harder, because i couldn’t keep my balance with my other leg, it is so frustrating!
thanks so much for this! i’m so grateful to have found your channel!🙏🏻❤️

[LosCristeros]

Thank you so much for this. I’ve had this issue for years and nowhere have I gotten advice so helpful.

[dmitryr]

Wow, this is incredible! Instantly reduced my hip shift. Can't thank you enough for making such high quality content available for free.

[FightBoyDs]

Always noticed when sitting and crossing my legs I couldn't really do it comfortably with my left leg while I did with my right leg (same principle as the faber test) and with my squat I have that hip shift all the time. Never knew they were correlated! Thank you so much for these tips I'm definitely gonna work on them now and see if it improves my squat.

[catsrockthehouse]

This is incredible, I cant thank you enough! I knew I had a hip hike and chiropractor visits were just a temporary fix. My squats are a lot more even and I can actually activate my left glute! On top of that my discomfort has disappeared. Thank you, thank you!

[jacqueglenn]

I have same issue for years. Trying these excercises and didn’t think they wud work but there is noticeable improvement rather quickly - thank you!

[ssojyeti]

Can't tell you how happy I am to have found this channel. You're confirming what I've believed about my hips and pointing me in the right direction with these simple and great exercises

[traehenderson]

Finding these gems during the pandemic helps alot! You're a superhero with these tips and fixes

[gloriaurrego-raghu]

I have this exact issue and now I know what to do! Thank you for sharing your expertise so we can rehab and get back to doing what we love!

[trugoingnowhere]

i wish my city had such a specialist, i have so many issues with uneven muscles all over the body, and thanks for the video i will definately try this

[kobalt]

I have had a sore and out of sync ( right ) pelvis for 2 months now. I just did what you showed us and there is a huge improvement. I will do it again for a few days and monitor the alignment. I just used the bannister at the top of my stairs to hold on to. Thank you so very much Dr. Aaron, I have tried many different exercises, but this is a game changer. Instant subscribe !c

[robyoreskovic]

Would like to see smth similar for bench pressing (uneven shoulder mobility)
Great video as always 👌

[andrewwest]

You sir, are a legend. Your insight into the human body has helped me tremendously and I am truly grateful for this free knowledge.

[OrganicToon]

You are a genious, I thoroughly appreciate your videos as they are highly functional and the foundation to getting stronger.

I have been avoiding lifting a while although I love it, but it is not because I am lazy it's because I have so many "sitting" problems that have gotten worse overtime and your approach to simple and soft rehabilitation and mind/body connection is astounding.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

[perlindstrom]

Golden! Your channel has helped me clear a brunch of issues over the years. Thanks for your awesome work.
