The BEST Hip Opener

Are your stiff hips limiting you from squatting or deadlifting with great technique? The half kneeling weight shift is one of my favorite hip openers for improving hip mobility. Try a set of 10 reps for a 5" hold and then re-test your squat or deadlift and see if this is right for you!

This guy is literally undoing years of sitting damage caused from sitting in a car four hours a day followed by a desk for about 5-6 more hours. No wonder my back would flare up and knees ache on drives. Thank You doctor!

[willf-c]

Literally one of the best channels on YouTube!

[DanesinTexas]

Adding this to my ever growing evening stretching-routine 👌👌

[SameerKhan-sdsn]

Doctor, could you please make a video how to DEADLIFT properly. Lots of love and support for you!

[zeljkorajcevic]

I am so glad that I started to follow you. Your explanation of McGill 3 big fixed my low back pain in one session after being in pain for 2 years

I’ve tried multiple stretches, Physio, hip openers etc due to years of knee, hip and back pain. My left leg has always felt stronger and more balanced than my right leg. This affects me when I walk, squat, drive etc. After trying this stretch properly for the first time, I had an instant improvement!! It felt like I all of a sudden had access to parts/muscles of my right leg that I didn’t use to. I felt a lot more balanced standing on both feet, and walking felt great! An absolute revelation!!

Thank you and keep doing God’s work you legend! 💪🏾

I literally had strained my SI joint months ago. Took time off and stretched but it kept coming back. Did this stretch tonight and wow. Almost instant relief. Still some stiffness when I lay down in the middle of my lower back but it's definitely getting better.

[mrhogei]

i can't wait to try this my hips have been so tight from so much biking, this will help me penetrate deeper

[gamergod-vfhx]

My right leg is a lot less mobile than my left leg. That probably explains why I have problems with squats. I've always wondered what I could do to fix my hip problem. Thanks for the video!

[ashisawakening]

this just helped me soooo much. My stiff hips have been limiting my ability to swim, roller skate, and feel good in multiple areas doing this just helped so much!

[chocolate-soulja]

I'm just learning about this routine. I hope it relives some of my lower back pain.

[readyitall]

You’ve helped me so much man keep up the quality work

[priyalsinha]

[KHANPIN]

One of the only Youtube shorts that actually did something for me...by bringing me to this useful video.

[duane]

Excellent vid. Just tried some, will add to my routine.
Thanks!

[wgilchrist]

When my hip started feeling tight I knew where to come for answers. Can’t wait to get it loosened, but I have a few questions: Where does a Hip Opener belong? Before a workout, after? How long do you hold the position? How often is sufficient to do this specific stretch? Thank you!!

[therealmrbean]

Hells dude, one try at this and problem identified, nearly solved. You are the oracle Dr Aaron 🙏🏽

[subhamshaw]
