This is the best hip mobilization I have ever come across. I have tried 90/90 forever, it never worked for me. I just did this on the floor for two minutes and after a few reps where the muscles in my legs had to wake up, I have my hips back to 80/90% of what they were ten years ago. The central nervous system is fascinating, and this is awesome. Thank you!

Hey Blake just wanted to thank you a million times over for all the information you provide. I have all kinds of posture problems that has caused me my job cause I couldn't move. I went to see many chiropractor but they very expensive, its like they just want me to keep coming back and because I lost my job, I just could not afford it anymore. the NHS here in UK wouldn't help either. so I turned to youtube and found you, started watching your videos in July and now I am well and fit 100%. its like a miracle. couldn't believe you are giving this information free when the stupid chiroprators are charging £50 for each visit. God bless you and your entire family my friend.

The same story my friend(Greece).. The chiropractors and PTs and of course the doctors don't really want to help you get rid of your problem.. All about the money.. I had chronic back pain(really bad) and hip stiffnes and also pain.. Through our friend's videos and some others I am really better now!!! So thank you too Guerrillazen 🙏

I wish more fitness instructors included these in their workouts.

I already left a comment, but I want to say I’ve been doing this for just a week and have noticed a huge difference in how I feel when I walk now. I’m out for a walk right now and my hips feel like they are stretching as I walk and it feels like a nice massage lol. I’ve noticed it at work, but now that I’m actually walking a good distance it’s really noticeable. I used to have a pinch in my hip that’s gone now. Thank you for this ❤

This is an excellent stretch and strengthening exercise for ice-hockey goalies. I am a goalie and even though I am very flexible in the splits my hips would not turn out more than 30° or so and this exercise has helped in opening my hips up and increasing my kick save spread when in the down butterfly position. Thanks and subscribed.

I just really enjoyed this video man. Good stuff. You're just good at making videos. No nonsense, quick, easy, simple.

Great information! Finally realized what I need to work on for what I now know is inadequate internal rotation which is likely hindering my running performance. Thank you!!

Thank you so much!!! Even one session of doing this helped tremendously!!

Thank you!!!! needed someone who made sense to explain the difference between lateral and internal hip rotation

Internal hip rotation is very important for golfers as well. Thanks for the information!

Wow, GuerrillaZen, your description is clear as a bell!

Thank you Blake, going to try this tomorrow in the gym. Lack of IR led to a back pain that’s kept me immobile for a while but getting back now.

Very nice work, useful and comprehensive explanation !

Thank you sir, these movements are right on for me... gaining much motion now...

Thank you. I am designing a yoga class for golfers. I had nooo idea my internal rotation was so bad. We focus a ton on external in yoga. Really happy to have these 2 great exercises to balance yoga class and loosen up some golfers hips so they may swing better!

Thanks for sharing these tips. I’m here because of over pronation in one foot which seems to be caused by lack of internal hip rotation. I did your test and yep, screwed for rotation. So I’ve started doing the exercises you’ve demonstrated. Thanks again

Great video young man!

This was amaaaazing. I felt a cool breeze inside my hips after this. Can't wait to squat again

Great information thank you so much

I watched a few different people talk about internal hip rotation on KZread before I found this and this is by far the best one far and away by leaps and bounds. I'm a Zen Gorilla as well. But I failed the internal hip rotation test. It's past my bedtime tonight but I'm going to start this tomorrow. Thanks! Oh and my name is Blake too!

i'd like to see you move the offer for coaching and downloads to the beginning of the video - it makes it clear what you do / offer which helps us, and gets your coaching in front of users quicker which hopefully will help you. I loved the video - really great advice. Thanks

Good tip on the dorsi flexion.

Thanks Blake for These great videos. I feel that the further one advances in these exercises, the more you work you realize you have to do. It's like literally the tip of the iceberg. I honestly thought I had adequate hip mobility until I tried some of these exercises. Lol!! Oh well back to the drawing board. Keep up the great work and please keep making these videos because they're doing people a world of good!

Ex ballet dancer here. Severe external rotation. Zero internal rotation, and now long term itb, tfl issues with iliac crest syndrome and inactive glute meds. 😕 Thanks for the advice. Love your vids! Hoping it will help me get back Into pain free running again.

Hello Blake ! Thanks for the awesome information and quality.I would like to ask you a question.You demonstrate the exercise with the triggerpoint foam roller ''the grid'' and i want to buy one,but i don't know if i should buy that or the grid X which is 2 times firmer.I am new to foam rolling but i lift 2 years now so i suppose that the firmer the better.What's your advise?

Why is it important to dorsiflex? Because there are no muscles that run over the knee and act as a dorsiflexor as well? The only biarticular muscle on the lower leg is the gastrocnemius right? Are you doing it to create some tension on these?

Thank you 👍👌👌🙂

Hi, Thank you for this video. I'm putting to use what you've shared. Do you have a video on how to improve external hip rotation? I'd like to incorporate that as well.

amazing

thank you from the hearts of my heart. this is the exact thing i was looking. not just exercise but to know actually what i am doing. i have synergistic imbalance as well as a little sciatica so can i do exercise for both at the same time. does one exercise interfere with another one

Another great video ,man. I got here from a Gait Guys video related to single foot external rotation due to internal rotation issues of the femur. I have been trying to increase my running, but for the past year or so I have hit a hard plateau due to reoccurring injuries. I checked my right leg(the side that has been having all the issues) and it is basically sticking straight up on the internal rotation test. Good place to start fixing. Thank you for the exercises!

@jamesd5241

i've got similar problems here. did it work

This is unreal! When I watch people just damn near turn their femur 45 degrees outward like that, it seems inhuman to me. I have ZERO internal rotation capability; My legs naturally hang at about 20 degrees external rotation when seated, and I can barely get into that seated position on the floor with my feet at shoulder width. It feels completely solid, impossible to go further in that direction. It's like my hips simply aren't positioned right at all. I discovered all of this after a trip to a fantastic physician in Durango due to 3 years of lower back pain and clicking. I discovered how my hips simply do not move, which has put years of wear and tear on my lower spine. Since then, I have discovered Foundation Training, which has saved my life. The newly found strength I have in my lower back, and the lengthening of my hamstrings and ankle flexibility has pretty much eliminated the pain, but my hips still do not move. I truly don't believe this can be improved, as much as I find videos like yours. I would give anything to work in person with someone like you to see if this can be corrected. I will try these out in tandem with Foundation Training, though!

hi Blake great drills really helped these 2 drills with my piriformis pain after after only doing them a few times my knees are feeling it" andthing else which can give sane results but without the irritation to my knees"???

I do the first stretch in a low squat and hold on to TRX bands.

just did the evaluation of my hip and it didn't drop at all, jeez is it severe. Now I finally know how to solve the pinching in my legs, thanks.

@GuerrillazenFitness

Try it out :)

Hey this is awesome! What might cause poor internal hip rotation? I have an imbalanced pelvis (tight and high on the side that rotates less) and was wondering if this was all related. Thanks!

first and foremost thanks for the knowlege your sharing brotha. I'm so tight that when I do these great exercises the body is creating pressure points in other areas, especially in the knees. that how hard some of these exercises feels, I swear to you I'm not out of shape in any way. is there a way you can share like a pre, intro way to this movements. some love for all of the stiff peeps out there haha

I could barely move my legs at all. That explains a lot 😂 I noticed it’s difficult to do this without knee pain on my left side, but it helped to just really pull my toes up and only move my leg down a tiny bit. After that I let it hang there as I breathed and it continued to drop on its own. Pretty cool to see that happen lol. Felt a lot better that way

Make a video about internally collapsed knees please

wow great video" question coiuld poor I.R lead to a piriformis being overworked? especially when sitting??

Welp... looks like I've got about 15 degrees of internal rotation on my right hip! This has actually been hurting me when cycling, because the hunkered down position of road biking requires more than that, probably at least 25 degrees. My lack of right leg internal rotation has been transferring the extra few degrees of rotation into my right knee, which causes inflammation after high mileage rides. I'm definitely gonna start doing this every day. Thanks for the info!

7:18 Isn't it TFL instead gluteus medius like the main internal rotator?

Motion is lotion

I probably have a lot of scar tissue that won't let me have correct rotation. Do you have any recommendations to be able to do this in a way that will loosen the muscles? It is very hard living with a outward rotated leg. Thank you!

When I get in to the position to do the stretch (sitting on my butt with my hands back and my legs bent) I can't het my feet very wide at all (like barely at the outside of my hips). What should I do about this?

Wassup blake, you mention for this mobilization when performing it that it could cause a lot of torsion for the knee, Now my knee feels like if it weaker. Any advice?

What muscles do internally rotate our hip?

So if I have right internal rotation.. I should exercise the opposite leg in the second exercise? The left foot at the second exercise?

I get inner knee pain on my left leg while doing this stretch, Is it okay to continue slowly, or should I stop even though my internal rotation is crap?

I have hip impingement and barely and internal rotation, and this exercise pinches in the front of the hip. Is it still ok to do?

Is knock knees somehow connected to this? I have knock knees and I feel like my hips rotate internally and my quads end in the inner sides of my knees.

What if my lack of hip internal rotation is caused by a tight TFL compensating for a tight iliopsoas muscle? Would these exercises help?

I have alot of pain in the front side of my hip and the inner side of my thigh doing these. Only on my left side

Would a lack of internal rotation at hips cause pain at the external side of my ankle while squatting? I get the feeling that this could be it

ok wait so do you keep both sides of your pelvis in the ground while doing this ecxercice?

I have REALLY bad internal hip rotation, and now I have water on the hip on one side (so I'm told after MRI). I'm wondering if the bad internal hip rotation is the cause. Is it OK to do this stretch? I've been told to lay off exercises that aggravate it, but is this stretch OK to do during the recovery period? Thanks!

Goog foggin stuf mate

Hey i believe my external rotators are tight moreso than my internal rotators are weak. Do you have any stretches for external rotators?

Can you recommend a test that doesn't involve laying on your tummy? Especially if you are by yourself to test. Thanks!

tank you for your info without all the adds...you are also very clear and interesting

Hello bro can this prevents hip surgery

How much time should be between mobilization and training the specific muscle group? Specifically when is the optimal time to work on mobilizing my hips with regards to doing squats? Thanks for all the videos. I'm still trying to figure out why my squats feel so bad, I'm hoping this helps.

Question, which may be an obvious answer. My left leg is externally rotated… lol does this mean I’m missing internal rotation?I also have hip pain, could it just be I need to severely do these?

Having both hips replaced and having dislocations afterwards I would be very careful and consult with your surgeon. But you do have to strengthen your hip joint every day, again check with surgeon as they would be best to advise you.

I watched your video on "how to fix duck feet" a couple of months back and started working on my internal rotation. In the last few weeks my left knee has been hurting during squats (when coming up from the bottom).
