I have severe scoliosis with a 47° Cobb angle.
I've had horrible pain in my left hip and limping so badly I needed a cane. Doctors chalked it off to my lumbar curve and wanted to put a rod in my back from S4 to T2!
Along the way, I found a young, intelligent chiropractor who diagnosed me with TFL Syndrome. It makes total sense because I have a significant spinal rotation which rotates my pelvis towards the left, therefore contracting the TFL. Add to that, I have a desk job and sit all day. Hungry for knowledge, I searched YouTube for exercises specific to TFL Syndrome and found yours. Oh my God, I've had remarkable improvement!! Thank you!!!

omg that first technique is what I have been searching for for years. I literally teared up. I don't think I can tell you how grateful I am. I've done numerous classes in yoga, martial arts and circus arts and no one has ever had any idea why I was having pain during certain stretches, and I've never been able to stretch the spot. Thank you! I also had no idea just how tilted forward my hips are. I can fit my arm behind my back against the wall. I guess I have some work ahead of me.

You are brilliant! What a superb understanding of the human mechanics you have!! I have NEVER come across your simple TFL stretches anywhere. Relieved my TFL pain right away. Thank you so much for making this information available!

Thank you Eric! You've helped greatly!! We've solved our son's (14) problems with posture, tight hips and knees - your advice was a big part of it.

Dude I have been trying to figure this out for years. After taking Anatomy and physiology class I now know the exact names of some of my problem areas. I came across your video and I can understand the language and I am absolutely astonished at how much these stretches have loosened me up. You are doing some great work sir. Thank you for putting this out.

I really appreciate the self-evaluation methods you have included. Such guidance is very helpful for those of us without physical therapy health insurance benefits who are trying to self-diagnose. Your content is excellent. Thanks.

I've been in so much pain and thought it was all due to my degenerate spine issues. Went and had x-rays and then an MRI, which included my left hip, found out I have TFL. My pain doctor said to look this up on YouTube and I found your videos. I'm so thankful for you explaining it thoroughly and showing all the exercises that I am now doing. I've never been one to let pain stop me but this is extremely painful. I'll keep doing the stretching and icing it and hopefully will see improvement. It sure has been painful

The wall stretch feels like it does something. Makes me also notices the tightness I have in my neck. Trying to do this now with breathing decompression, where I try extend my spine with the help of the in-breath, and use my internal abs to maintain that positition on the exhale. Doing 12 slow breaths for 5 sets seems to help. Thanks a lot!

[itspaintosee]

Thank so much. I'm almost crying because of the relief

[retirementwellnessstrategi]

Wow, first real relief I've gotten in four years of struggling with this pain! Thank you!

[mindymay]

thank you so much for these. I'll let you all know how it goes!

[j.p.carroll]

Thanks for the vid coach e! Between your exercises and Matt Hsu's from Upright Health i am finally figuring out how to fix my hip impingement that has hindered me for 3 years now. You guys seem to have some similar philosophies.

[barsenovic]

Thank you for this valuable information

[nathanieladjei]

Hey Precision movement, would you start making videos on full body mobility routines. I believe this would help me along subscriber's a lot. Thanks in advance

[dianeowen]

Great video! I'm having lots of difficulty keeping hips square during the standing stretch. I'll keep working on these.

If you still can’t flatten your lower back with feet spread at 3:33, what does that mean?
