How to Self-Correct A High Hip in 60 Seconds

[@Macaw02]

OMGOSH!! I LOVE WATCHING THE TWO OF YOU INTERACT!! You’re so funny!! But Your ALSO very EDUCATIONAL , KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL!! I’m a Registered Nurse, my back is trashed from working as a “lifting tool” for years in hospital! In 2002, I was transferring a patient and blew 7 discs in my lower lumbar region of my back. I had to have surgery, fusions and rods on either side of that area. My left sciatic nerve was also impinged in 8 different places, it was almost completely severed, only attached by a very thin thread, which left me with permanent nerve damage on my left leg. In 2019 my thoracic region of my back failed, so, I had to have a total back surgery, they had to remove the existing rods and fuse my spine so that now my spine is fused from the middle of my shoulder blades to my tail bone with rods on both sides of my spine. The only movable part of my spine is my cervical spine, the rest of it is fusions and rods. Then, In 2021, I was in a horrible car accident. I was driving my jeep and was hit by a work truck, with a radiator cage on the front of it. He ran a stop sign and hit my truck going over 45 miles an hour! my truck was totaled. I was unconscious for over 20 mins. My right leg was driven into the dash board, the head of the trochanter was driven into the socket and destroyed my right hip. I also injured my right arm. The muscle was torn in 2 different places, just before the bicep and the other tear in the rotator cuff. After I had the right hip replacement done in January 2022, my Right leg is almost 2” longer than my left! When looking at an X-Ray of my hips, you can actually see that the Left side of my hip in stead of being level, is at an angle the left side of my hip is higher than my right side of my hip! When I told the surgeon I was having a lot more pain in my back and felt like with each step I took felt like I was walking up a step always, he said, well, when are you planning on having the other hip done! I said, I wasn’t having problems with that hip! And he said, well, nothing really can be done! I asked him why the left hip was higher in the X-ray then the right side and he said, try to stretch out that muscle and in time it should drop! SMH! I have never gotten such a ridiculous answer from a surgeon before! My hip was Never like this before the surgery, I can’t understand what had happened!

Thank you for all you do! I have been a wreck town from the neck down since turning 40 with all that I’ve pushed my body through. You two have accomplished something no doctor or other therapist has; a pain free me. And you bring that same energy every single show. Amazing! Thank you!

[@eugenemcleod525]

How dod you achieve pain free. Please share. Thanks

[@andreawelsh6786]

I am blown away by this. I have been in a lot of pain with my hip alignment being off. My sister told me to try this as I spend a lot of money on the chiropractor. I must admit I thought whatever, I will give it a go.. I could not believe when I stood up there was no pain. I am in awe of these boys, I can't believe it actually worked in less than 60 secs. Between Wim Hoff cold showers and these simple exercises I am a new woman. Thank you, Thank you thank you. If anyone is reading this and wondering if it worked, then please give it a go, it could change your life xx

[@GadgetyMV]

Did it once, immediate improvement after one week of pain. Thank you!

[@kimistephens9615]

I've had problems with pelvic alignment for ages. It always takes a trip to the chiropractor to correct the alignment in my hips. This video seriously helped me do it myself! The day I watched it I was experiencing a lot of pain (my left side is usually higher). I did the first two exercises, and in particular, squeezing my fists - I heard a POP! in my lower back and voila, the pain was significantly reduced! I am so jazzed. I even bought pelvic blocks but I always make it worse when I use them. Thanks you guys, this was pretty much life-altering for me!

Thanks for this! Dad had a friend from high school who would sit on a kitchen table chair like Brad did at 9:39 and he always had back issues. When I saw this, it clicked mind as to why! But I need to stop the habit of leaning over to one side when sitting in my recliner watching TV.

[@jenniferg3251]

[@BobandBrad]

That's wonderful to hear!! Keep up the great work!

[@ironrose888]

I have a higher hip and have for as long as I can remember. I have scoliosis in my back. I have tried the shoe lift and that made me feel very clumsy. What works best for me is weight lifting with light weights and that balances me out the best. I still have balance issues after having a broken pelvis and back but I’m so grateful for getting out of the wheelchair 😃

[@craftman5632]

That shoe lift kind of makes you lean forward too much, have you ever tried a cushioned insole.

[@cynthiacameron8911]

I had one leg measured to be 3/8th inches longer at age 14. At 16, I was able to win 3 state titles after getting my hip pain under control. I've been using a lift for my shorter leg for years and I've been a successful competitive runner, setting age group state records and even winning the world games in my age group in 3 running events just over a year ago. Before turning 56, I suffered from a terrible fall while running and the hip and knee on my shorter leg have not been the same since. Racing again seems out of reach right now. I'm going to see if I can finally fix my pain through these exercises along with some knee strengthening exercises. I'll let you know if I make it back to the racing world!

[@shafinrahman2199]

Is it physically shorter or just appears short

[@evyiennetla9416]

Hope you are doing better after a year 💜 I fell and had a fracture in my spine and had to have a fusion L4-L5. I know how hard it is! I'm sure you can get out there again. I had to relearn how to walk and it took 3 years before I could run without pain. Believe in yourself always and you will exceed your own expectations!!

[@landersen16h]

3 weeks out from an anterior hip replacement, I am most concerned about dramatic hip obliquity developed through defensive movement during the months surgery was delayed. I was so happy to see this method! I attacked it with zeal several times through the day then had the worst night since coming home from the hospital. I’m not sure when it’s a good idea to try this method, but I’m pretty sure this was too soon! I’m going to lay low for a few days and hope no lasting setback has occurred

[@brendalg4]

You should be going to a physical therapist and asking what exercises are appropriate for you.

[@mpdfog186]

Thank you so much for this video. I've had recurring pain for sometime now and my body appeared to be tilted to o e side. I've been to my doctor twice when it was at its worst. He gave me painkillers which thankfully I didn't take and told me to be more active and that it was probably caused by inactivity. I knew that was absolute nonsense as I'm a very active person - both in my job and in my personal life. He never referred me to a physio or even mentioned about any other possible causes. I came across this video today and with the help of a friend and following the checks suggested here - it's very clear that my right leg is a little longer. I will do these exercises and hopefully they will help. Thanks guys👍

[@evyiennetla9416]

Hope you're feeling some relief now! I know how it is...

I realized one hip was higher than the other when I was trying to fit a pair of pants! No matter what I did, the fit at the waist was all wavy and had puckers in the fabric. I finally realized it was me, not the pattern. I hope this can fix it for me, and ease the pain in my knees

[@sharenchoate1871]

I am trying these with hope I get some relief. I have a lower back issue that affects my left hip. I was told that I have had uneven hips since I was in elementary school but it wasn’t until my late 40s that it caused me any discomfort and now pain. The tendon in my groin gets tight and I get odd tightness that rotates around my hip. Sometimes it’s in front, other times the side or back and close to 90% of the time that groin tendon is tight. 2 of these are new exercises to me and I’m hopeful. Thank you

[@pamelaconticini9093]

Good morning from Italy, thank you Bob and Brad, thank you for your wonderful site, after a fall down a flight of 13 stairs, two years ago ,I have followed you. your explanation of all the excercises are clear and precise, nothing over the top, and they help!

[@lisafrank3676]

I had my right hip replaced when I was 46 due to a fall down some stairs. The surgeon put the cup in at the wrong angle And the implant causes my “bone” to protrude in a higher position. The stem was replaced 6years later as it became loose in the surrounding bone. I don’t have enough bone surrounding the cup to afford it being removed and replaced. But my walk feels sooooooo painful 😣. I have a terrible limp now. Prior to ,and after, I pursued my passion for weight lifting until now I can’t bear any weight, even with simple daily tasks. Will these stretches help me? Or can they hurt me? I’m desperately still a “young minded” 60 now...or should I say old?!?

[@rexk5204]

I haven’t really had any pain, but I have noticed the possibility of one side/hip higher than the other. For years, I’ve actually had a distinct walk and I haven’t really figured out the solution. It’s as if my hips kinda jerk as I walk, but not only that, but I do believe that I have some neurological problems in my right leg. It’s bothered me for a while just from how it looks when I walk. A bit embarrassing, but I haven’t been too sure about where to go to get it fixed. I’ll definitely give the broom stick a try, and the extra support in a shoe. I’m 32, and I just want to walk better again.

WOW! Thanks for this video. I did it one time and the difference is amazing! Since my hips have been out for such a long time, I would assume that I need to do this on a regular basis for a while. But I wonder how often you recommend. I'm sure that no more often than every 2-3 days would make sense? Thanks so much!!! You've made a huge difference in my mobility and thus, my life.

I remember a chiropractor having me stand on scales, one foot on each scale. One side was weight bearing more than the other by enough differences in the pounds that he asked me about the hip problems. He was right. Missed some other things, but got that one right.

[@kristin1533]

My right side is the problem. The shoe heel wear on my right heels is always worse on my right shoes. I have pain in my right knee all the time. The chiropractor wasn't able to help me. I actually had knee surgery (menisectomy/arthroscopy), but it did no good. I have to try this exercise!

[@donmulder8061]

Dear Bob and Brad -- there is actually a number four. When I was in high school track, in 1979, our coach had us doing circuit training one day in the school gym. One of the stations consisted of two ropes, going all the way up to the ceiling of the gymnasium. When you got to the rope station, you had to climb one, ring the bell then climb down then climb the other rope and ring the bell and climb down, then continue with the circuit. I did the first rope just fine, then climbed the second and got to the top, rung the bell and found I lacked the strength to climb back down. I panicked because I was out of steam and that gym ceiling was pretty high. Frantically, I tried wrapping my feet around the rope to allow me to slowly and safely descend however I lacked all strength at this point. So I tried (briefly) to slide down the rope but my hands were immediately getting bad rope burns. I looked down and saw there were mats stacked under the ropes in case we fell. So I did a controlled fall and tried to land on my feet and do a roll. I landed on my feet on top of the mats however there were more mats where my right foot landed than where my left foot landed. I wasn't seriously injured but I had severe pain in my leg resulting from tightness. Not good for a track distance runner. I went to my mother's chiropractor who diagnosed me as having a shifted hip from how I landed. He laid me down stomach down on his table and popped up the middle and shoved the lower side of my hips hard, several times until they were in alignment and my legs were even. I had gained a life long misalignment of my hips that was treated off and on over the years by various chiropractors. It's as easy as pushing it up. Hip alignment issues can happen from a simple bad impact when jumping.

Several months ago my left leg suddenly appeared to be alot longer after a workout at a gym. Whenever I stand with both legs straight, the right foot is at least 2 inches above the floor. A chiropractor even said, "Wow, you weren't kidding; it's way longer", and it's been this way so long now, I don't expect an easy diy fix. So I can't wait to see if I can correct this isn't these techniques. Hopefully, this is the talk I have been searching for. Thank you so much for posting it. The chiropractors I've sought help from (for my obvious high hip and still-worsening limp) have never shown me efective methods for self-alignment. The first one (who made the comment above) didn't even try.

62maybiesjr Must be your SI joint out of whack. Mine didn’t give me exercises either, but if they did, maybe we wouldn’t have to visit them as much? I finally I did go see a physiotherapist who gave me a routine, but I confess I didn’t keep up with it. Doing these exercises and other stretches have helped reduce pain especially since I can’t get to the chiropractor and massage therapist with COVID still going on.
