I’m about to cry… I’ve had a hip impingement for 7 years now and I was just accepting the pain as a fact of life. While it’s not gone completely, I felt a tremendous relief after just doing the first two exercises.

[rinotonelli]

I can’t begin to explain the relief this mobility work gave me. I’ve suffered through a hip impingement since my sophomore year of high school and went through all of college athletics as a High Jumper trying to manager the pain. This is the first time I have been able to internally rotate my right hip pain free In years. I never write stuff like this on these videos but I literally almost cried from happiness after not feeling that aching pain in my hip. Thank you so much and if it isn’t working for you. YOU NEED MORE TENSION I’ve done this before in school and it never worked until I literally pulled the band at least 8 feet from where it was tethered.

I came back to your video, only to make this post. 1 year ago I started to have pain in my hip. I'm a fanatic watersporter and this pain really got me down. After several months of pain & scans hip impingement was detected. My surgent told me he would do surgery and that I would have to recover 3 months before going surfing again. A couple of weeks before surgery I found this video. I've been doing your exercises for one week and my pain is 95% gone! After the first day, my pain was already 50% less. I just can't believe it. I'm postponing the surgery and hope I can cancel it on long term. Thank you so much for this video!!! I would kiss you. Grtz from Belgium

I have never written a comment on YouTube, but you sir should get a Nobel prize for sharing this knowledge and helping endless people.
I had a hip impingement and rotator cuff issues - you have helped me greatly and given me many more years of moving freely without pain
Bless 🙏

I still can't believe these is free content on yt, I have learned so much from Dr. Aaron. Keep up with the good work 💪

I did this routine 4 days per week for 6 months after 3 years of anterior hip pain. It was so bad that when I walked I had this nagging burning feeling at the front. I takes a while of consistent work but it 100% works. In my case I added glute bridges and after the first 3 months banded side walks. Their is hope just be patient.

This was the single most helpful video I’ve ever watched. Instant hip pinch relief. I’ve always been limited on my squat volume because of hip pain, but now I can do an endless amount of reps without stopping because of hip pain. I can finally increase my volume.

[lonewolfgaming]

I had hip pain inside whenever I did squats and sumo deadlifts. I did the exercises you showed including the side plank clamp shells, lateral leg raises with the band and also squats with the bands. I do these to warm up every time I do legs and now I'm completely pain free. Thank you Aaron.

This man is a bloody legend. The advice he gives is priceless.

[lsuarez]

This literally saved my life! Suffered for 5 years until I found this video. THANK YOU!

[jcooper]

I am not an athlete but stumbled on your channel . I have viewed numerous channels trying to find relief. I was recently diagnosed with hip impingement and these 3 exercises are amazing. They I will continue to implement into my daily exercises. I am amazed at the relief these exercises have given me. Now I have hope. Thank ❤

[ChaneldelarosaNel]

I currently have so much pain - can barely walk. I used to be a very active person (taking rest days when needed), but it’s been really bad the last couple of months. I’m 24 years old.

I found this video today. Did it for the first time. Will keep doing this video daily for the next few weeks and give you guys an update in a few weeks🙏

[joshuachristo]

I’ve had this since I was a little kid, I would have days I was in so much pain I’d cry or someone would help me walk, I’m in the military now I’ve been working on strengthening the muscles around my hip and I’ve never had a terrible day anymore but the pain is still there, im trying to take my gym and military fitness to the next level

[codingwannabe]

Had to come back to leave a comment, after following this advice I am pain free and back to squatting. You're the man!

[khaiw.]

I think the best thing about this video is that he answers WHY hip infringement may occur, and how to prevent it. Beginning of 2022 I had a hip issue when going heavy on squats that took me out of leg day for a couple months. I’m finally getting back up to that weight, but my hip is giving me problems again and I have no idea why. This is the only video that’s given me an explanation as to why it may have happened. Im gonna give everything in this vid a try and see how it helps but thanks again even if it doesn’t work for me.

[mushedits]

I’ve had non stop pain in my groin and outer knee during my meditations and this has fixed it. Wild. Thank you sir!

[angelicalaflame]

It’s so amazing that you make all of these videos. You’re saving athletic careers for free out here.

[jmills]

Omg you sir are a Godsend! I have tried everything. Clamshells, hip thrust, icing, heating, rest. I even took a week off of work to allow myself time to heal, thinking that being on my feet all day wasn’t allowing me to recover from the injury; that made it worst if anything. I had been dealing with this for 3 WEEKS. Usually my body heals on its own over time, but not this issue. It just kept getting worse and worse. After once session of doing this, I AM PAIN FREE. Absolutely amazing. Ty

[ryanwilliams]

It's crazy how much ground you covered in a 10min+ video. I've been dealing with fai/labral tear related pain all year and probably would've saved a lot of money watching this before going to PTs that have no understanding of the issue. If I was any where near your area I would for sure work with you.

[starshine]

This is hands down one of the most valuable channels on YouTube and I'd just like to say a big thank you. I used the airplane from one of your other videos related to a knee injury and I can really feel it helping. Your content is always amazing and so well explained and demonstrated- massive thank you
