Yes! That’s exactly it… first person who actually knows what I experience

This video has been amazingly helpful for me. I had hip replacement surgery eleven years ago resulting in chronic SI pain. The first two exercises in your video have reduced the pain dramatically. I almost didn't watch the clip since I didn't think I had a problem lifting my leg getting into my car. If you are able, I would encourage you to add another video including those 2 exercises with a title mentioning 'Relief for SI pain', so other people like me with SI pain will check it out. Thank You!

I'm the only person I know with this problem; what a relief to learn it's not that uncommon AND there is something I can do to address losing mobility. Thank you, I'm going to give these a go. Your video explained each step very clearly, what to look out for and what to avoid. I appreciate your time :)

I have a bad right hip so I “back into” the vehicle when entering. I put the bottom of my right foot in first, then my backside onto the seat and advance that way into a sitting position. So much easier than lifting my right leg sideways to enter my CUV. Been doing this for two years and makes entering so much easier. Turn your back to your seat and enter in this manner!!!

This sounds fantastic. I can't wait to do them❤❤❤❤

I am a recipient of THR left side and while getting in a hot tub six months PO I pulled something and doctor said it’s hip flexor 14 MO later it still hurts and I do assist my left leg into cars. Going up stairs hurt and even sneezing or coughing makes it flex and hurt. I will give these a try.

Thanks for all of the videos you've made available to us! I've going through a few today and have a question about this one. When I swing my left leg into the car (from the driver's side), I feel pain only on the SIDE of the hip. I've done PT with someone for 3 months, then two months on my own and get really reduce the pain. Would the exercises you show here help me with my symptoms? If it matters, I went to an orthopedic doc a few days ago who took xrays and said I have secondary osteoarthritis and hip dysplasia. That movement and putting on my pants are the only times I feel pain in the side of my hip.

I have arthritis in my left hip and it is so bad. I’m currently four weeks into therapy and he wants me three more weeks. I don’t think it’s gonna get better, but getting into the car is the worst.

I have a big problem getting my leg in the car😼

[waynecaswell]

Great lesson. I have bad right hip and cannot sit and drive my car because of hip and leg pain. Any help? Thanks

[manuelaschutt]

ein super Video. Vielen Dank. Ich habe links Hüftathrose. Was mache ich, wenn ich als Beifahrer einsteigen möchte, und mein linkes Bein will nicht richtig hoch zum Einsteigen.? Dann sollten diese Übungen doch auch helfen, oder?

[ruthanngreuling]

Alyssa, which exercise vids or sections of your Blueprint specifically help strengthen hip flexors? Thanks!

[inezascari]

Would doing planks strengthen core to get rid of hip tilting forward?
