Thank you so much for this. I’ve had this issue for years and nowhere have I gotten advice so helpful.
Thank you _so much_ for your detailed, specific, accurate, and relevant videos. You have really helped me diagnose and start to work on my hip issues in my squat AND you’re saving me money because I will have a lot of this sorted before I meet with a physical therapist in my area to work on my specific situation. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼
I have this exact issue and now I know what to do! Thank you for sharing your expertise so we can rehab and get back to doing what we love!
You are a genious, I thoroughly appreciate your videos as they are highly functional and the foundation to getting stronger. I have been avoiding lifting a while although I love it, but it is not because I am lazy it's because I have so many "sitting" problems that have gotten worse overtime and your approach to simple and soft rehabilitation and mind/body connection is astounding. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Can't tell you how happy I am to have found this channel. You're confirming what I've believed about my hips and pointing me in the right direction with these simple and great exercises
Exactly what i needed, noticed recently i tend to lean to my left side thank you :)

my God! i really needed this so badly! i have been searching high and low for answers. i notice i shift to my left when squatting, and also, doing lunges or RDL gets harder, because i couldn’t keep my balance with my other leg, it is so frustrating! thanks so much for this! i’m so grateful to have found your channel!🙏🏻❤️
I can’t thank you enough for your content. As a young person I find my peers rarely talk about the importance of mobility. You have saved many peoples joints, including myself.
This is incredible, I cant thank you enough! I knew I had a hip hike and chiropractor visits were just a temporary fix. My squats are a lot more even and I can actually activate my left glute! On top of that my discomfort has disappeared. Thank you, thank you!
Wow, this is incredible! Instantly reduced my hip shift. Can't thank you enough for making such high quality content available for free.
Finding these gems during the pandemic helps alot! You're a superhero with these tips and fixes
Golden! Your channel has helped me clear a brunch of issues over the years. Thanks for your awesome work.
I have had a sore and out of sync ( right ) pelvis for 2 months now. I just did what you showed us and there is a huge improvement. I will do it again for a few days and monitor the alignment. I just used the bannister at the top of my stairs to hold on to. Thank you so very much Dr. Aaron, I have tried many different exercises, but this is a game changer. Instant subscribe !c
I’m so glad to have found your channel! I always wondered why the bar would be uneven while I would squad, you are a lifesaver!
This was great information! Really helped me figure out why I get hip pain and feel like my hip shifts.
Always noticed when sitting and crossing my legs I couldn't really do it comfortably with my left leg while I did with my right leg (same principle as the faber test) and with my squat I have that hip shift all the time. Never knew they were correlated! Thank you so much for these tips I'm definitely gonna work on them now and see if it improves my squat.

Thank you, so much for putting these types of videos up. They have been so helpful.
How great the tests and the solutions for squat in this video. My clients do have such unbalanced and shift while squatting. Appreciated the sharing of you expertises.
Been dealing with this for a long time. A good warmup helps, but also getting flat shoes for drip (instead of squatting in socks, and working on lower weight squats with holds, and feeling each glute medius and max working. Squats are getting better and I'm instantly stronger!
The name of this channel is sooo spot on 🎯 Helped me improved my squat game a 1000% Thank you very much
This one is a great video. Dont understand why it doesnt have a million views. Appreciate it. Love from Lapland.
Thank you so much for your videos! I watch you from Ukraine! You helped me a lot! I wish you prosperity and good health.
I have the exact same issues as your case study. How convenient! Thank you for creating this video, and I'm glad I found it. Don't worry, I'll perform my own test before beginning the intervention.
You sir, are a legend. Your insight into the human body has helped me tremendously and I am truly grateful for this free knowledge.
Amazing content. I have the same issue as the case study cliemt; just opposite sides. Couldn't get my head through this problem, I was always thinking the problem was on one side.. When in truth one side is mobile and not stable, while the other is stable and not mobile (each side is compensating for the other one). Thanks a lot!

I think this is my problem. Because with the fable test my left side is higher than my right. However when I do the airplane on my right side it is more unstable. My left side can handle it much better. Thanks for your comment because I was confused I thought my right side was the issue yet the test was saying it was my left side. But seeing this comment helped me make sense of the issue!
This is great. Doing single leg squats helped improved it for me. In addition, these two exercises are icing on the cake.
Finally a helpful video about hip shift. Definitely going to try this out. Thank you
Squat university are the best and easy explained videos that have helped me so much !
Very helpful, thank you for taking the time to share this🙏🏽
Thank you. Always post such valuable information so clearly 👍💯
Thank you so much. I had this problem for 2 years and didn't know what to do about. It really helped alot.❤
Great channel with a wealth of top level instruction. I'm learning so much. Thank you! Could you do a video on the Nordic Hamstring Curl?
OMG. THIS WAS AWESOME! I am blown away after doing these stretches I can deep squat. 🤩🤩 thanks so much looking forward to more hip mobility/shift stretches and if one day im rich enough to come get treated I will come see you 😃😃😃
I thoroughly enjoyed with Chuck's example. That really sold me on this! I have exactly the same issue with my hips (FABER test) but i didn't know it could lead to a hip shift, I'll have to film myself to check. Thanks for another amazing video Dr. Horschig!

Haven't finished watching the full video yet. But omg from the very beginning of this video I saw the exactly same problem as mine. I have the same hip shift direction, and when I cross my legs in front of computer, I realize my right knee will be higher. I tried to froce it down but didn't work. Now i'm gonna watch the rest of the video and hopefully fix my problem☺️
This video is a good resource, I have recommended these exercises to many clients.
Thank you Dr. Horschig! It really help to fix my left hip now.
I love the content and knowledge he is sharing.
Awesome! Having this problem for a year or so couldn't find a good solution. Hope this works for me, too! Thanks!
Always the clearest info, thanks!
Thank you for this. Thankfully I found this out quite early in my workout journey.
Thank you!. I felt much better after doing the exercise, and my elevated knee came down.✌️
Thanks so much for this great content, and also the exercise demonstrations .. 👏👍
DAMN... I'm having this issue together with left side hip flexor strain due to muscle compensation..couldn't train properly for 2 months.. I had no idea why I always did this untill I saw what the patient did at the end of the video... Really grateful for the info!

Thanks a lot for this video. I have observed hip shifting problem when squatting, but didn't know how to make it even.
Dude that my exact problem 😮 Great vid man. Love your work Keep it up 👍
Really helpful, thank you! Keep up the awesome work - books also great 😊
I’ve personally had this issue go on for way too long. Over a year now I’m going to give this a try for sure 👍
omg that is why I shift one side when doing squats will try all these and let you know the outcome, I keep thinking I am super tight on one side. your videos are awesome and so dam helpful thanks heaps
This is brilliant I have a friend who trains with me and I’ve notice a real lean to the right when he Squats and also when he performs a chest press his body leans to the right he says he has always been this way since he was kid but his parents didn’t take him to see a medical professional
Thx for this, keep on the good work!
Awesome video. Thanks! I have had some imbalances in my hips, so hopefully this will help out

Thanks for this vid! Looking for something for years.
This video is awesome I have the same problem and my chiropractor tells me it’s my core . It gives me a ton of back problems only on my left side .
Thank you so much. This worked like magic!
GREAT video. Keep dishing it out
This is so helpful. Thank you!
thanks for the valuable information, this is really helpful for me.
Thanks for the precious information
That client's symptoms are identical to mine. Right has less mobility and left side is always sore. Because the left side is always sore that's the side I stretched the most, not knowing I'm probably making my symptoms worse. Thanks so much for this video I am excited to start this.
Excellent, informative videos as always. I have the exact same issue as the guy in the video. This has over time caused lower back pain in squats etc. Will give this a go!

Having a hip shift to the right side, I tried this out, but I didn't have much of a difference in external rotation, only a very slight difference. Worked on that, so it was even, but still had a slight shift. So I tried internal rotation and that's where I found my left leg was having problems. Working on that now and seeing good results. But thanks for this info, really helped me figure out why I had a hip shift when squatting :D
Great info coach!
Great video. Thank you
Nice thank you for the info , already earned another subscriber.
Really clear explaination thank you
I needed this !!!
Great video.. Thank you for the tips..
Very great. I need this very much
I used to have a severe hip impingement in my left leg and after doing the band mobilization recommended by you it has decreased substantially but now I am having pain in my left SI joint.
Plz make a video on lateral hip tilt and its effects on kinetic chain and we could fix that...ur videos are really helpful..keep up the good work👍
Great Video!!! Definitely helped me.

Bro you’re amazing! Thank you
What is the healthiest position of the ilium bones while standing and sitting? How should they move in a squat? I noticed that my right ilium flared out. I think I have corrected I have corrected much of this flaring by forcefully contracting the transverse abs, and pushing the upper sacrum back with my breath and bracing. The latter improved my lower back excessive lordosis. Avoiding the flaring out of my right ilium improved my knee pain, and I made a further step toward the pistol squat. I'd love to watch a video on the subject of my first paragraph. Congrats for the highest quality content of your channel!
