It helped right away! Thank you!

[@OddWoz]

Subscribed. I’ve found the same principles work for me... and I suffer from the hip and low back pain as well. I also try to stay tuned into what my body is craving or trying to tell me too. I even follow my food cravings, or at least interpret them as a need for a certain nutrient or something specific. But thanks a lot for the helpful video bro, I’ll check out the others soon. And I will definitely be trying to add stretch #2 to my regular plan and see how it goes! ✌🏼🧘🏻‍♂️

[@TheMrmatchoo]

I have had crippling pain for 14 months and had endless trips to doctors and physio sessions. Just when I was beginning to feel completely hopeless this video has given me the biggest sense of improvement of any other exercise I have tried. I am indebted to you. Many many thanks.

[@Uprighthealth]

Happy to provide hope and guidance for you. 🙏✊

[@denisemsummersett9400]

Hey Matt... it's 6 months later... Did this work for you for positive results?

[@TheMrmatchoo]

@@denisemsummersett9400 it really did help me a lot. But I discovered that I require surgery and am currently waiting for a date. Exercise like these have honestly kept me going until I finally got a diagnosis. Checked in with the doctor that I wasn't putting myself at risk doing physio like this...but was approved to carry on within comfortable limits. I wish you lots of luck and good health.

[@janinehenschel4988]

Hi Matt, if you are having pain I would suggest a pain mgmt doctor who does ABLATIONS it burns the nerves and NUMBS any PAIN that you have, you can get it done on your back, hips and knees and its AWESOME !!! NO SURGERY try this first if you are still dealing with pain be blessed and Shalom

[@alyjiyu]

I started a program of qi gong to improve stability of my lower body and developed stitching hip pain that became a constant misery. After going to my doctor & chiropractor, who took Xrays and MRI, I was told I have degenerated joints due to age and arthritis, and advised to rest, stay off my feet & given pain medication. Rest only made the pain worse, keeping me up at nights. Am so glad I found your channel! Now I know I was given bad advice. I started the hip and inner thigh stretches to retrain my muscles, and it has made a world of difference! I'm easing back into qi gong now - much wiser for taking *your* advise. Thank You.

[@user-om4rk2sh5n]

LIFE CHANGING Thank you The hip pain you described is to the T exactly the same as mine. Never heard anyone describe exactly what I feel. Got an MRI 13 years ago and got the “chronic arthritis” diagnosis. It’s been slowly getting worse over the years, (my own fault) and I was honestly close to losing the faith and going back to the doc. But I’m stubborn and a student of anatomy, mainly muscles, and I have always known it was the muscles. It is so refreshing to hear someone say what I believe, but saiid with more knowledge, facts, and better articulated. I’ve been watching your vids and following your stretching work for 4 days and finally it makes sense to me, and the work I’ve been doing is already showing results. I’ve got a lot of work ahead I have terrible atrophy of Medius, Minimus, TFL, and Rec Fem. But finally I see results and light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you so much, I already know all I have to do is keep at it and I’ll be pain free or close in the near future.

[@Uprighthealth]

AWESOME! Thanks for the message and for your support! Congrats on getting to the root of some of your issues!

Thank you so much. Just one session of this (honestly) and I already feel eased and upon walking there is virtually no pain in that muscle and I have been in pain with that hip for years and could not lift that leg up and onto my knee without manually putting it there. Thanks again. I am going to continue. Also my balance is better.

I felt blood flow in my hips immediately after doing the 2 strengthening exercises and these stretches. PTs kept telling me to stretch but it never worked. These work!!!

I really appreciate how calmly you explain things. I’m looking forward to trying these out today. What you’re saying about pain, restoring balance, and that we’re not permanently damaged. I’ve had hip pain in a few areas for around 14 months. I can resonate with what you said about sitting, driving, etc. 🙏🏽

[@sigurdsonb5015]

I dont know how to thank you...I was suffering HUGE for the last year. I knew the first stretch but never tried it with the forward bend. OMG...seriously felt relief right away. Been repeating the stretch through the last few days ...gently. I slept with no pain after at least a year. I was beginning to worry I had a herniated disc. Thank you for helping me...(Just for the record I did get physio.. no lasting effect)

[@Uprighthealth]

VERY happy to been able to help with this video. :-) Your body is capable of far more than most physios will ever tell you.

[@rosalinatalley3533]

I too have severe arthritis on my hips, but because I practice yoga every day as I'm an instructor, I do not take any medication for my hips. I simply changed to a plant based diet, work on. lots of hip openers, stretch all the time, and I am as mobile and agile as my younger self. I love how your youtube resonated with how I treat my hips too. Keep up the great work using non invasive treatments to care for your hips.

[@styleyK]

It has been 1 year since I was diagnosed with arthritis in my left hip, and 4 years prior to that I was diagnosed with a laberal tear by a different surgeon who told me to rest it, move less and dont take the joint through a full range of movement......at this point I was a fitness coach, PT and massage therapist for 14 years.....so no chance of that. At the time I worked with and knew physiotherapist, osteopaths, coaches from different sports, and physiotherapist who focus on rehab post hip surgery. They all said the same thing, avoid the surgery if you can, focus on nutrition, and strengthen the area (create structural balance). I can now squat my body weight and more, previously I couldn't, I was very week on my left side of my body, now I am alot stronger and have less pain in my hip and leg. Oh and my range of movement has improved massively (still a long way to go). Your channel has helped me on that journey, so thank you 👍🏿🇬🇧

I'm going to check out your other videos too. So grateful.

[@PipMilburn]

Hi Diane I have recently been told I need PAO surgery due to dysplasia and labrum tear. It sounds like it didn't really work for you? I'm trying to focus on muscle growth to support the hip rather than go down the surgical route. But pain is getting me down and I'm wondering if i should go down the surgical route.

[@marthagornal4251]

I recently strained my hip muscles causing my femur to eventually pop out of my hip joint. Yes, I dislocated my hip. I did have it popped back in by my chiropractor with follow up and tests with my medical doctor. No fracture, "just muscle". Still significant pain and impaired mobility. I am a 55 yr old hard working food production employee. My chiropractor has helped significantly with my alignment. However, I needed to strengthen my front and side hip muscles, heck, even my butt muscles. Matt, I found your videos and truthfully watching you do the "frog" and other stretching positions actually caused me to feel pain and I cringed thinking about some of those positions. Well...I tried them. And I must say, "THANK YOU!" You have made quite a difference in my flexibility, mobility, ambulation and physical well being. No more pain or walking with a cane...getting stronger day by day.

Youre on your side, then roll toward the ball so the weight of your back begins to lay onto the ball, sort of on your side but leaning on toward your back. Its about circulation in the area. You can also lay onto the ball placed under your back abd gently roll around on it regularly, daily. Hope this helps!

And could relate sooo much when you talked about your hip pain at this time. So I'm gonna try the exercises you recommend in your vids. Hoping it will also reduce my popping hip. I already want to thank you just for making me feel like, I'm not alone with that and calming me down by giving me hope. 😊🙏🏼

Matt, your videos and information are very good but the last two minutes of this one are the most insightful and excellent advice I've heard. I've been thinking the same thing (I've been dealing with a back/hip/leg problem for 2.5 yrs. and have heard numerous times "why don't you get a back operation?") but the way you expressed it was right on. Nice work. I subscribe to the notion that "motion is lotion" and your description summed it up beautifully.

Matt & Co are tops. If i lived in the states, I would most definitely give them a visit. Getting so much from these videos. Couldn't be better. Keep up the good work, guys! Many thanks.

Thank you so much. I did the stretches with you. It’s time for me to get in the gym and work it...💪🏾💪🏾

I love your channel! Every single time I watch one of your videos I feel I can do this, I can get back on track and beat whatever pain it is I have. Thank you! Also I don't trust in doctors knowing everything any more. About20 or more years ago I had some issues with my neck and one doctor wanted to operate on my disc's! What ended up helping me was time and gentle Tai chi movements. I have scoliosis so I'm used to living with imbalance and pain, what always helps me most is moving, mostly walking.

Great video. You're better than many doctors. Experience is a better educator than book knowledge. Thanks for a good video.

I am from India and 61 years old. i had this nagging hip pain. your exercises really did the trick. i am thankfull to you.👍

Man... watching your videos and what you went through in your mid 20s and what I'm going through in my mid 30s are so similar! I'm an electrician and we were pulled off work for 6 weeks when covid started. Came back and I went too hard and tore a muscle in my mid back (lat or erector). Then i started working at a desk and always sitting on the floor with my 2 year old. Injured my hip (glute medius). After rehabbing that, I pinched a nerve in my shoulder going back to work. Then tried a doorway stretch and injured both shoulders now somehow. My body feels like it's failing me! It's really helpful seeing you out on the other side and back healthy. My mental health is struggling. It's so hard with a little one to let your body heal and avoid movements that agitate them.

This is my struggle.....

So good -thanks -have worked my muscles too hard owning horses -am old but look younger but stiff-have sciatica and groin pull-this is so helping-just did the yoga position of wrapping knees and elbows around each other either direction after doing your stretches-miracle-I hate definitely hate ego driven doctors and all their wretched phone people who shield them and uphold their lies.thanks for the help Debra

[@RobertoRiosbiz]

OMG I order your hip program and I can finally walk fast without pain I feel like I have a younger new body. Thank you so much 😊

[@jeanneblackwell5123]

Again. Thank you Matt. Your exercises Never fail to help and improve my issues. Explanations also very helpful and easy to understand. Just enough techno stuff so I learn. This one really helped and I didn't know how tight and weak those hip muscles were. wow. just one time and it relieved the pain. This is another keeper. Thank you.
