    My physical therapist first told me my hip was turned which was not helping the hyperextension and drop foot on my left side. I liked all the stretches especially the ones laying on my back with the leg crossover with one foot on the wall. Thank you sooo much for this video...well all your videos. They're extremely helpful! 💯

    I can't believe it! I have had severe hip stiffness in my right hip and have pain in my knee when I do the pigeon pose lying on my back. My physical therapist said my external mobility is very limited. I was able to lay on my bed, put my feet against the wall as in your video and I had zero pain in my knee! I did the stretch 3 times and still zero pain but a nice stretch on my outer hip! So thankful for your videos! I was diagnosed last week with arthritis in my hips and I am only 44. Your videos have given me hope that to can get back my mobility and strength. I love you stretches and your stretches are more productive than when I had PT. Thank you thank you!

    Yes to a follow-up video! I don't remember when I first noticed my pelvic twist; it was around the time I found out I have osteoarthritis in my right hip and was in terrible pain. Now I go long periods of time with no pain, but when the pain is back, I'm usually twisted when I look in the mirror (I'm looking straight and my hips are facing left). Stretching helps, but the problem always comes back.

    I was practicing martial arts for a few years and got a knee injury from being in a squat-like position and pivoting right. That rotation frayed cartilage in my right knee. After many years of searching for recovery and trying many things, I have found functional strength training has helped me the most. However, after watching your videos (this one plus the other two on strengthening and stretching for a twisted pelvis) I can say that I have a better picture of what is happening in my body for the first time in a long time. Thank you. I probably had some imbalances in my body before training in martial arts that led to the injury. Now I have to keep reminding myself to slow down and pay attention. I know there is no instant fix to years of habits and movement patterns, but you give me hope that I can have a healthier balance. Appreciate it.

    This video was so helpful. I'd love to learn exercises to strengthen the area around the pelvis too. My rotation isn't side to side, but I'm constantly fighting my right hip that ends up higher than my left. It causes so much pain, and it's from years of sitting with an imbalance. I imagine these stretches are the same to get the hip back in place. I can tell when it's off when I'm walking, and then see my reflection in a window or mirror. It happens a few times a week.

For decades, I have been stretching and getting regular chiropractic adjustments, but I have started doing hip and core strengthening to alleviate joint pain, beyond dance, yoga and qi gong. Your exercises for hip, shoulder, neck and back pain enrich my workouts. I would be very interested in a video on strength exercises to correct pelvic rotation.

    I am currently a 59 yr. old women who has had both hips replaced. Left hip in 2017 and R hip 2020. However, I have had an extremely difficult time with the R hip surgery, I ended up with excruciating hip flexor pain as well as "frozen butt" on my right side. With that, rehab was complicated during 2020 as well as my husband was let go of his job, unknown to his employer that he had been diagnosed with early onset dementia. We sold our home and moved closer to my family in the event I need help with my husband, so all therapy was put on hold. Once relocated, I pursued PT and dry needling but to no avail, I still wasn't getting any real help. So, hunting around on the internet I found you and you are a huge help, but as a former professional dancer and performer, I am frustrated with my progress. I had been told I had a pelvic rotation, worn a heel lift, etc. Until you I didn't get any real idea of what to do. I am still super frustrated with how long it is taking to get stronger, it is such a slow process and I just feel somewhat defeated. I can't seem to locate any type of physio-therapy in my area, just traditional PT. Right internal hip rotation is painfully difficult and no doubt my abdominal strength has suffered. Any suggestions? Thank you for your videos and the help and small improvement I have made so far.😔

    I got diagnosed with that a few months ago and have that on top of chronic injuries from a rear-ended accident of '91 and being hit by a drunk driver when I stood outside of my car 11 years ago. I really want to get in better shape and have less pain, but it's hard with so many injuries to work around and my great hypermobility. And physical therapy is geared towards getting your mobility back most so when you are doing almost the side splits to do a "normal" leg, hip and low back stretch, they think you're fine and can't get approval from insurance to keep treating you...but you are still really weak and in lots of pain from doing just basic life things like basic walking, light housework or cooking, etc. Frustrating!

    New subscriber here, thanks for this video and all of your content! I believe that my pelvic rotation is due to driving a stick shift as a teenager with the seat too far back combined with having a bulky wallet in my right pocket. That streching motion to shift gears along with lots of youth soccer and my right leg being my dominant kicking leg caused my right hip to be about a 1/2 inch higher than my left. My left side is super tight as evidenced by trying these stretches. It was so bad an orthopedic surgeon misdiagnosed me with scoliosis.

    I’ve been binge-watching your channel for the last week since I was in desperate need of somehow defeating a recent bout of debilitating hip pain. The guys at work said I should go to a doctor and “get it checked out”. I thought, “What exactly are they going to check?” I didn’t injure myself, this is a pain that comes and goes but recently has gotten intolerable, making it painful to walk and the sudden stabbing of my hip pain at times is momentarily crippling. Time to figure this out without a doctor being involved or resting, or time off work. That’s how I found your channel and immediately subscribed. THIS is what I needed to hear and do. THIS makes sense. I’ll explain how in one week of hip stretching I’m 95% better, but I’d like to share my back-story so that others in this position understand hip pain can happen and be remedied by ourselves by simply working those weak hip muscles again. I learned this here and will be forever grateful. In my late teens, I’d earned my blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do and was a gymnast. Extremely flexible, fast, and strong. (Note, I stretched every day to maintain this flexibility and strength) In my 20’s and 30’s I became a semi-professional surfer in Hawaii. No chronic pain and still fairly flexible because I stretched before a surf session, but not much in between. On the side, I’d ride bicycle marathons and hike for miles without any pain afterward. But I don’t remember stretching at all anymore. Now I’m almost 60 years old and up until a month ago, I was still the most physically fit part of our tugboat crew, still walking miles every day, dragging and lashing heavy chains on barges, (I haven’t stretched my hip muscles in decades.) Now my hips are in constant pain and I stupidly figured I’d just worn them out from years of exercise. (As if exercising was somehow abusive.) I took a day off work, telling the boss my hips were shot and I’m going to the doctor. I knew I wasn’t going to the doctor and instead looked up “hip pain” here on KZread and I wound up on this channel. Everything this guy said makes perfect sense. Being physically active and walking for miles, doesn’t exercise the hip muscles that much and surely doesn’t maintain flexibility. I spent my day off work doing the hip exercises here and noticed how inflexible I’d actually become. Scary, I didn’t even see it happening. After one day of pushing my limits very slowly, I was already feeling better. The next day at work, my limp had lessened. (The guys at work asked if I went to the doctor and was on pain pills now?) Nope. I found a brilliant physical therapist on KZread and I’m doing what he says. It’s working. A week later and doing these stretching exercises every day before work, during work, and after work. My limp is gone. Most of the pain is gone. I’ll make these stretching exercises my daily routine for life and hopefully be done with my hip pain completely, in a few weeks or months. Never mind the doctor, or treating symptoms. Stretch those muscles that we’ve all neglected and you’ll be fine. Sorry for the long story and thank you for awakening me to what I thought would be permanent pain, was really about concentrating on the muscles that I’d neglected. Thanks again, peace and aloha to you and yours. I’m forever grateful. 🤙🏼 Edit: While doing these stretching exercises focused on my hips, I remembered that my Tae Kwon Do sensei was in his 50’s when I was just a kid. I took it for granted since he could jump and spin-kick at his age, I’d be doing the same when I got to his age. The difference was, he stretched every day his whole life, and I’d quit this regimen somewhere in my 20’s. My hips stiffened up while his were still like mine were in my 20’s. He’d be in his 90’s by now and if he’s still alive, he could probably still kick my ass, and he would be disappointed in my not learning that what he taught was for life. It’s a continuous thing I blew off doing other fun stuff. Oh well, some things are relearned the hard way.

    I noticed my pelvic rotation develop after a heavy squat injury from a mistake my side spotter made (premature unilateral spot.) I healed with a twist that has caused reinjury and aggravation of the Gluteus medius since initial damage occurred. Thanks for the info! Will introduce these immediately!

    Thanks for these. Strength exercises please! I’ve known about my pelvic torsion for a long time now, thanks to a chronic hip flexor injury (lightbulb a few years ago - the torsion caused the injury, not the other way around). But years of exercise and physical therapy did squat. It was only when I figured out that my right low back was never *relaxing*, thanks to learning Hanna Somatics, that I figured out how to get it to resolve. I do Somatics every morning and every morning I start out twisted and 45 minutes later my body has figured out how to balance itself. But I don’t think I’m doing enough to address the muscle imbalances I know I have. My left lower body is weak and my right lower body is exhausted!

    Thank you Matt for also addressing the Hyper mobile people! That is my issue, and I often injure myself because of that 😣. Look forward to your strengthening video also! 👍👍 PS, after I injured my hip, or back, or whatever it was that got injured while dancing, then I tried to fix it with a Mel Gibson external rotation move 😳😱 🤬! Shoot... (I never was able to get a clear diagnosis with medical professionals other than SI instability); my butt cheek on the injured side looks so different than the other side! It is flat while the other looks like a normal butt cheek. I do glute exercises, and hip/leg exercises in all directions, but still, flat butt cheek, instability with long standing periods. 😖 Help...

    I have been told by two different physical therapists that I have a rotated pelvis and bi lateral SI dysfunction (hyper mobile). I’m naturally flexible but do have more tightness on the left compared to my right also weakness on my left. I’m glad you pointed out that it is important to give an extra round to the less flexible side because I have focused too much on keeping things equal, not considering that my left side needs extra attention.

    Bit late for commenting, but here goes: I was diagnosed with a light skoliosis as a child and never did much or think much about it. Back in the 80s nobody cared ... I also almost always crossed my right leg over my left leg when sitting. As an adult I took up walking and hiking. Really really long distances, we are talking 200+km/week here. Apart from developing painful cramps in my neck when walking really far I also noticed that the soles of my shoes wore off differently. The profile on my right forefoot was always worn out much quicker than on my left foot. I developed severe ankle pain in my right foot. People kept telling me nah, you do not need to change anything, you'll make things worse. An orthopedic doctor prescribed insoles for my shoes which I wore for more than ten years. When I started taking up mountain hiking again after a long pause (during which I would still walk long distances on flat/hilly terrain) I developed some foot pain and also noticed a lot of stiffness in my movements. So I took up mobility work and yoga. Doing so I realized that my whole right side was much more cramped up than my left side. My right calf muscles and my right hip flexors were extremly tight. On the other hand my left leg lacked external rotation ... when doing the second stretch you showed, I would not be able to put my back/head on the floor because I was so tight. After several years now I gained a lot more mobility. I changed the orthopedic insoles against lighter ones and my shoes wear out almost evenly.

    The same here. I Was fit active and flexible, then after lockdown I have been experiencing constantly bad hip pain that carries down to knee and lower leg. I can only walk continuously straight for 4 mins before everything feels all twisted. The crazy thing is my left leg is now longer than the other and I have a very bad limp. I defo think it is because of my inactivity during lockdown. I was a lazy ass and as a result I have muscular atrophy in both legs. I think matt is very informative and I totally agree that docs and pharma will inform about their own select solutions to these problems. I have been thinking about the whole impact that the muscles have on the bones and this video has basically confirmed what I was thinking. I have just discovered this channel and so glad I did. Please god this will work now. Thanks Matt.🙏❤️

    Absolutely right. I worked that out years ago. I tell friends it aint your bones failing its what surrounds them And once I worked out my wonky pelvis was the cause of my back problems years ago &. my chiropractor confirned that idea, since then whatever problem Ive had ( hip, knee etc ) I work on the nearby muscles or tendons etc. It works. Thankyou for these great stretches & explaining👍
