It’s not called misaligned hips, that’s the same type of misleading language that doctors affect their patients negatively with. Most of injuries that need the right type and amount of work and that’s the right language to use and other not misleading expressions.

probably same % for knee pain too

I was diagnosed with hip impingement by a world renown doctor... this happened after I ran a marathon on an over trained hip (tendonitis). After the doc showed me the xray, he said that I'd be the perfect candidate for surgery, which I knew I wanted no part of. I'm a huge believer in self-healing and allowing the body to do what it has to do to mend, no medication, no surgery. Knowing I'd have to help my body cope with the injury, I searched on YT for hip exercises and this channel popped up. I religiously viewed all their hip videos and committed to their exercises and stretches. I took it easy because the pain was immense, but I stuck to it and after 2 months came off crutches. The doctor said I'd need about 4-6 months to heal post surgery (if I had gone that route), but I started walking on my on in half the time, without surgery or medication. Was I in pain while recovering? YES... a lot of pain, but I saw progress every day, albeit minimal, but it added up at the end. The doctor said if I didn't go through surgery that I'd never be back to being as active as I was pre-marathon, and that I'd be risking getting arthritis and eventually needing surgery on both hips. It's been a little over a year and I've gone back to doing my normal activities, eased into them at first, then came back a little stronger because I allowed my body to heal on its own. I do recommend that people stretch and exercise both hips/legs while going through recovery so as to avoid overworking just one. Thank you Upright Health for your knowledge and free, life changing content!

I was told by the assistant of a surgeon after taking x-rays that I needed surgery. He really surprised me with this I didn’t believe him so I went on to have a second and third opinion and both those surgeons said the same thing. by the time I got to the third one you can really tell he was a salesman. He literally was selling me surgery so I stay in his building. He kept on calling me a tough SOB for walking on this. of course I did research and found out that unnecessary procedures are up big time in the United States. Two reasons why Doctors . quickly suggest surgery is obviously for financial gain and the other one is for status. I will be doing physical therapy, changing my diet, taking supplements, etc. I pray that this does wonders for me and if it does, I am going to send in a complaint to the first doctor and take it from there

My self got discharged from the army for severe cam joint impingement. Seen the xrays its bad. Broken my ankle and dislocated my knee thanks to my hips mobility locking during soccer and that hurt like a mf. Got more xrays then and definitely got fucked up hip bones here badly. Ive been told many occasions years apart only surgery. Lately i am in extreme aching pain like dull pain. Nonstop. I do all this have been for years still getting worse here. Now my back is being affected badly too. 😢

I actually do have “bone on bone” no cartilage, but in my ankle, not hip. At 1 month shy of my 19th birthday I was a passenger on a motorcycle that was broadsided by a big ted station wagon. The impact site was my left ankle. My amazing surgeon and team saved my leg. I did lose 2” and lots of issues along with surgeries. They said I would be in a wheel chair by 30. I’m 67 this year…I hike, mountain bike, bodyboard, and just SUPed a couple hours two days ago. I learned how to snow ski and water ski after the accident. After numerous X-rays and consults over the years with orthopedic doctors who did not believe that I could walk let alone walk unassisted and without pain, I stopped going to the doctors and sought my own therapy and workouts. Your information is so valuable for us to understand our bodies and to take responsibility for our OWN health journey. I did radically change my diet when I had a couple of scary periods…it’s been 18 years of a pain free very active life! I am so very grateful to have been sent my first surgeon who would not listen to the team of doomsayer orthopedists and took a leap of faith. I am also blessed to find my way to practitioners such as yourself, Matt, to teach me more of how our bodies work and help me live the active lifestyle I promised myself that I would so many many years ago.🙏🏻❤️

CONGRATULATIONS on such an amazing journey of learning, independence, and autonomy!

First I want to say that this channel has been an inspiration to me in showing me that surgery is often avoidable by strengthening the body but it often takes longer than the typical PT stint. I came across the channel after I had labral repair and the bone debridement surgery on my left hip. My surgical experience was not bad. I've had previous injuries and surgeries and this hip procedure was a quicker and easier recovery. I dont regret the surgery. I made the best decision I could at the time and it did solve the problem. Unfortunately, my right hip started to flare up similarly while I was recovering. I knew I didn't want to have another surgery. I inconsistently did some of these exercises for my right hip. Then I just started back working out, I started slowly and nervously. But I gradually got stronger. My confidence grew and I continued to move and strengthen. The worst thing is to remain sedentary. FAI can be fixed without surgery. I can squat deeper, kick higher, and sit longer without pain. Thanks for helping me see that it was possible!

The problem with that analogy is that it's not bone on bone. There's a cartlidge between the bones. That has to wear before it becomes bone on bone. That is called arthritis or an impingement. This more often than not, is painful. However, when you strengthen your surroundings in the hip, you can become more flexible and pain-free. Love the video because it provides information on how to start correcting some of the problems.

There is another approach which is to avoid stretching the tendons, muscles and ligaments that stabilize the hip. I have an approach that works globally in the whole body to recalibrate tension rather than trying to stretch parts. Many of my client had over stretched hip stabilizing muscles or lots of forward bends that made the hamstrings and deep glutes lax and long.. kzread.info/dash/bejne/n41_qqVtd6mzpcY.html

Brilliant. Thank you.

Love what you do. It gives me hope.

I've watched so many of your videos Matt & yet each evening YT suggests yet another one of your gems. I'm sure many viewers feel like you're speaking directly to our issues. Much appreciated!!!! I'm delaying your course because so often I have signed up for something before I'm mentally ready and then I reject it, for that very reason. I'm seeing gradual improvement though and with that comes increased confidence in my body's healing abilities. So, soon I'll be checking out the hip fix program.

Not commented for a while but now I've returned, yet again I want to say 'Thanks' for such a useful and inspiring video. Always based on moving forward with the difficulty rather than leave things vague and suggest that medical intervention...ie. an operation is the only answer. I'm similar to many of your clients and I know that bit by bit, day by day is the answer rather than one fix and I've tried these exercises out and found them possible and useful. Previously I wouldn't have been able to try them but now I'm in a place where I can and they are yet one more useful option for me to take up.

What perfect timing!! I thought I was alone. Thank you.

Thank you. I been having hip pinching. I have been going to a chiropractor, but this helped more than what Dr. did

So, so true. I have a high threshold for pain but 2 years of awful continual pain in both knees ( bone on bone OA) and hip have made me so weary, fearful and lacking in confidence. I have started doing the recommended exercises and although I am in more pain I can see a slight improvement in range of motion of the hip and have established that I especially have a problem with internal rotation of the hip so have up'd the stretches for that. It hard, painful work but the alternative is eventually being housebound and THAT is my dread. Good luck to all who are fighting the good fight toward a better tomorrow 🤞👍💟 Thank you so much Dr Alyssa and Upright health, could not do this without you. You both know the challenges, limitations of people who have joint problems. Bless you both 🤗

Great exercises! Good explanations. Many thanks.

Thank you so much. This is the best advice I have ever gotten on this issue

I've been listening to off and on for a year or 2... This video seems to track my own lonely struggle. In particular your comment about the medical advice not to move until you get your surgery and possibly still have the problem.

That last stretch hits the spot! It’s the spot that I target with my massage gun. Right side of my hip sometimes pop and now I have lower/mid back pains and right glute pain. Thanks.

Your advice is So Great!! Thank you!!!

This man is so amazing he is really helping so so many wow Subbed!❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍

U are like the excise guru ....my hips have been hurting and by u explaining it is so great I pass it on to all my wk out buddies..Veronica ..Canada

Very limited internal rotation and knee to chest are exactly the problems I’m having. I never even noticed these problems until I got into a sport where I need to make those types of moves.

Thank you just the simple tips on the hamstring stretch greatly helped the pain. I notice after just a few angles at 30 seconds of stretch.

Thanks So much! I love this!

My right hip cracks, snaps and hurts already some years. I don’t want a replacement (yet) and therefore tried already many different exercises, but these two simple ones make really a difference! Thanks Matt!

Hey Matt! My hip pain is all on the posterior hip and kills me most in the mornings, specifically on the drive to work and standing up after getting out of my car. These stretches feel great. Takes away that posterior hip pain. Can I do them first thing in the morning, or should I allow my body to be awake for a certain amount of time first? If you could recommend any sort of stretch prior or post to driving for posterior hip pain, please don’t hesitate. I’d also like to add that throughout these two months of pain I’ve had and researching constantly, your videos show up the most often, and I’ve been watching videos spanning back 6 years. I’ve noticed you’ve improved greatly on your speech skills in that time. Even in the old videos, the demeanor is very enjoyable and easy to learn. Feels like a simple conversation. Keep it up Matt, thanks for everything

OMG I need more I formation. This is really so helpful. Do you do online training?

he almost the only person i trust with my fai for 2 year nothing else work :)

Bought the Healthy Hips 1 program. It's awesome!

This is so important regardless of type of pain. Couldn’t walk for 2 years because of a stabbing pain in my knee. I’m the end I just needed to release tense muscles on the side of the knee cap pulling the patella to the side (most likely, cant know for sure ofc). Pain was gone after 2 weeks. 🤦🏻‍♀️😅 Hopefully I will find a similar solution to my hip now.

While I have been a follower of Upright Health for a couple of years now, and agree with so much of what you "teach," I have to say that I now have a different perspective. You may or may not remember some of my comments from earlier videos, where I agree with "least" treatments first before or in lieu of going under the knife. When my hip pain would just not get better no matter what I did, sleeping became unbearable as I couldn't lie down flat anymore) I finally had a very well-known and trusted hip guy diagnose me. There were actually several things going on (as I'm certain most people do). Hip impingement, arthritis and most important, leg-length discrepancy. The combination of the three finally brought me to a place of "no longer can function." So I had an anterior hip replacement, with my ortho adding a bit of length to my leg. Not only did all of my pain go away, but much of the back pain I had been experiencing for 30 years also vanished (I had tried lifts and inserts to no avail). So YES, try the least invasive treatments first (exercises for hip mobility and strength), but when nothing works...go for the new hip. Thanks for all you do to bring new awareness to functionality of our incredible bodies. :)

These stretches really work. But you have to do them!

I don't feel like I'm over doing it but really not sure. How can I stop that sudden pinchy feeling all the time? I can only get the right knee while standing to maybe 60-65 degrees. Left hip is totally fine. Thank you for all you do. I feel like you're the answer! eric

I definitely need to stretch more. Some of my pain may be hip a lot seems to be muscles though. Haven’t done his program though. Thanks. I saved this to try later when my shoulders are strong enough to do so. Have some nagging pain from injuries there.

It may be useful to have pictures from above on the second exercise as it is not clear eg drone or film on a ladder-

Is there some natural activity that would fix the problem if done in greater volume? For example walking or is this stretching the only effective solution?

Hi Matt, the more I loosen my tight hip muscles, the worse my neck and shoulder on the opposite side hurts. I know it sounds crazy. How do I deal with both? Help! Thanks for all your great videos. Been doing them for years with you!

I've been on this journey for 4+ years. Completely degenerated hip. Muscles had atrophied to the point that I could not activate them. I have progressed dramatically. Had to relearn how to walk. And I still practice that everyday because it is not natural yet. At this point there are two muscles that "pop" when I walk. One in the glut. Probably piriformis. The other in inner thigh. I suspect that is breaking up myofacia. Seem to slowly be getting through it but it still stops me in my tracks. Stabilizer muscles are weak still and I can feel them come into play as I force myself to walk correctly. I'm an FAI customer.

Where are you located, are you taking new clients and what diagnostic images would you need. I have this issue and have been in PT for over a year. I need someone that knows what they are doing.

Any chance you can do something on basic cross legged sitting please? I cant do your pigeon move at all. Maybe mastering cross legged stuff might enable me to sort out my FAI? Any help appreciated.

Just had a Labrum tear surgery of my right hip 8 weeks ago and now my left one is in severe pain. My PT is not giving me a lot of stretching exercises. What do you suggest i do to avoid surgery on the left side? Thank you
