After the first round I can’t believe that the aching seem to subside. I continue and things are improving all along the way. Again thank you very very much for your dedication to helping us feel better.

[@Uprighthealth]

@@saraht4973 Thanks for sharing this story! 🙏

[@BookSmartLib]

Wow! I’ve been in pain for months and have seen multiple doctors with no relief. These were tough but I can feel them working the muscles that need it and am already feeling some relief after ONE round! I recently found out that my left hip pain is connected to my right foot pain. I’m going through the rest of your videos now to see what else you might be able to help me with! Thank you so much!

[@Uprighthealth]

@@BookSmartLib You're VERY welcome! 💪

[@susanswinny588]

Felt like this is exactly what I needed. Love your exercises and down to earth presentation. Thank you so much, Matt. I fell on my butt and bruised my tailbone which caused butt spasms and sciatica for 6 weeks. Took 4 weeks off work and was able to start walking 3 miles every other day in the 2nd week off. But I wasn't really strong enough yet. And I got a lower right back pain. It now hurts to stride forward on my right leg so I have to walk slowly and limited distances...to bathroom, kitchen, etc. I did cat-cow very slowly. Then hip hinge with bent knees. Now I can straighten my legs in 90 degree hip hinge. It was excruciating initially. But after a couple of days, it was possible to keep going. So now I'm able to do the exercises in this video and just signed up for the back fix program. I totally agree with what you said about rest, ice, injections, etc. It's an never-ending process. So working with your proactive approach. It's empowering and motivating.

[@paulabrown8919]

I’m 66, female,have had left hip pain for about 3 years. Had to keep flipping sides at night. Pillow between knees didn’t work. After doing this exercise routine once, there was noticeable improvement. Have done it about 5 times now and my hip pain is gone. I have now added it to the end of my regular exercise routine. Thank you so much!

[@ThomasJthe1theonly]

Did this 3 to 4 times a week for about 2 months (still do) and although I saw positive results much earlier. I can flip sides when I sleep and the daily pain has gone. Thank you so much.

[@Uprighthealth]

AWESOME! Thanks for coming back to share your success story! 😀

This routine is excellent. After three nights of hip pain, one round of these exercises was enough to help me sleep again. Never would have thought it possible with the amount of pain I was experiencing. Highly recommended.

[@Sylphlet]

I am a dancer, dance teacher, and stroke survivor and I find your videos helpful in my recovery. Thank you for your hard work!

Praise God for this young man! I was limping all throughout yesterday, the hip was in such pain! After completing 1 round of this exercise, the limp was gone! I will do this exercise plan before going to bed tonight! Matt, may you experience the blessings of the Lord God DAILY for using your gifts to help sooo many people! And thank you for being so humble! :)

[@sharpedance]

I like this ‘Thanks’ option - it’s a fair way to encourage the content that is valuable at a price each person can choose. Thank you for your work!

[@juliodotme]

I did this yesterday for the first time. I never leave a comment immediately after but I have to report that from just one workout, my hips are 95% better. I slept way better last night. And I sit the bulk of the day. Really looking forward to the results after doing this for a few weeks.

[@esadberry5629]

I have three friends over the age of 65 and two of them have had hip replacements. Neither of them are happy with the results or the long recovery time. I found your video and did one round of exercises for side sleepers with hip pain and I cannot tell you how excited I am after just one round. I am feeling less stiff and hopeful. I have tried stretches to relieve the pain with no relief. I cannot thank you enough for recommending the natural way to relieve pain. As I age, I am looking for more natural ways to engage with my body. I have never been a pill or surgery person and I am so glad to have found you. I cannot thank you enough.

[@katefree9539]

Its helping! I can't afford to donate yet, but hopefully soon. You have helped more than my doctors have so far.

My Hips Will Sleep Spundly. Thank you so much for these workouts!

[@paulabrown8919]

Thank you so much! I have hip pain sleeping and toss and turn all night. I watched your video through once and thought, ‘Well, that looks easy!’ Then I watched again, following along with the exercises. Um, not so easy! I’m so glad I found your channel! I must have a very pronounced anterior hip tilt because can barely get my lower leg in line with my body on some of the exercises. I’m 66 and sit way too much! My husband is also following your channel now.😊

[@derekpanton2878]

This is brilliant. Targeted weak muscles I get pain in after I play golf. Radiating pains down TFL and calf caused by weak abductors, QL, and outer glutes.

[@tinacarson4792]

This is soooo effective! I struggle with these weak muscles, which means I need to continue

[@Uprighthealth]

That's the spirit!

[@truestory923]

Matt, I've been watching tons of videos to sort out my "issues" and I just love your video workout style. Nice combo between helpful instructions, background knowledge, gentle motivation and options for different abilities. I think you go too fast on most of the exercises though so I just put the video speed down allowing me to really focus on the movement without rushing.

[@Uprighthealth]

Happy to help! Always listen to your body and do the exercises at the speed that's best for you. Keep it up!

[@anamachado5567]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You and the exercises you provide to all of us are miracles! I do avoid traditional drs. and treatments. I finally hit upon your channel in my alternative search for improvement of my hip and back pains. I have done a few different ones over the last 2+ weeks and my body has responded in a very positive way. Just over a month ago after spending days on a ladder, one morning I couldn't put my foot on the floor. The pain was horrendous. But after moving around slowly all morning doing my reg. house chores, I found that the pain dissipitated with movement.. A clue for sure that the cause was muscular. As you always say: NOT MOVING IS NOT GOOD for the body. Again Matt, thank you so very much.

[@georgefitzhugh6455]

This is one of the issues that’s plaguing me. Thank you

[@nicolasyanicelli231]

A lot of thanks for yours videos. little by little I feel that my hip improves thanks to the exercises explained in the videos.

[@judybucholz5619]

I like this as it is building basic stability and strength and also support mind body awareness. Remember to breathe, and love the pointers on alignment. Thank you.

[@jenniferstanfield9213]

Thank you so much for making this video. I’m 5 months pregnant and one night woke up with bad hip pain on my left side even with sleeping with a pregnancy pillow. There were more days where the pain was there and sometimes when I would sneeze. I looked up workouts for this in the middle of the night. It has been 3 weeks now of doing this. Sometimes I forget to do it but I shoot for at least once a day. If I’m energetic enough, it’ll be twice a day. One in the morning while I’m still in bed and the second closet to bed time. This has been so helpful. The pain is now very minimal to the point it doesn’t wake me up at night or ruin my day when I’m walking.

[@Uprighthealth]

Awesome! Hope the pregnancy and delivery went smoooooth! And I hope you're getting sleep! 😆

[@lindacarrier1452]

Thanks a bunch! Appreciate your effort

[@patriciagyorfi7758]

I have a large folding gymnastics mat, but as an old timer with joint issues find it too hard. Top it with a closed cell foam yoga mat and the surface is hard enough to do the routine properly yet soft enough to be easy on the old bones. On really bad days I add a real sheepskin rug.

[@cmawson4726]

Thank you so much for this routine. I have tried a lot of different exercises to relieve hip/lower back pain. These exercises are the most helpful so far. Follow along vids with the count down are the best. They motivate me to finish the entire routine without excuses :-)

[@pearlb3645]

1st time finding you and trying this again after the hormone relaxin has subsided. I Think I injured my muscles and hips after pregnancy. Because since then I've had pain. I forgot how much my hips and knees click now as I'm trying to follow your directions. I can push through most stiffness and pain. Since I'm finally starting again after almost 2 years since I last stretched without feelinging like I was dislocating my limbs. Lol! 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@zmrs1458]

Hugs and kisses... I've done this every night, for 4 nights now, and I sleep though the night... Thank you, thank you, thank you, again...

Finally thank you MATT.From an MRI ,I have left hip bursitis then I only sleep on my right side till it affect now my shoulder, but although I keep turning switching side in my sleep that tiny ache is just there .I hope that will give me relief hopefully but it looks promising. Your video always do rise to the occasion. I like the THUMBNAIL, enough talk let us move.

[@bybbah]

@Tina Louise Crawford i had a tilted pelvis even though PHYSICAL therapy it was not truly helping until I found MATT CHANNEL ,after following his recommendation, my posture and balance IMPROVED TREMENDOUSLY, I got confident .It was that weak lumbard and bad diet I got many PHYSICAL issues, so yes I'm very confident about Matt ,is slowly transforming, can you believe I can do Asian squat ,sit on my heels, all as I followed his channel .So yes I will recommend him to anyone but the efforts are in your hands not his .

[@bybbah]

I love the follow along exercise! Maybe it's just me but I find it more enjoyable to do it "with someone" as opposed to being shown the first couple and directed to do the rest on my own. Any thoughts on how to remedy or avoid hamstring cramps (in particular when doing the bent leg exercises)?

[@Uprighthealth]

😀 Short answer: make your hamstrings stronger. May be as simple as starting with hamstring curls with ankle weights and progressively increasing resistance. Most people have INCREDIBLY weak hamstrings and even a small amount of exertion leads to immediate cramping.

[@lindasue8719]
