Hip Pain While Squatting? | Strategies to Improve Femoral Acetabular Impingement

[@vinhdo.presents]

when I suffered the hips pain while squatting, there are no channels talks about it. Now this is very informative. Good job mate

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

I am glad you found out video and that it was of benefit to you!

[@andrearinaldi3354]

Thank You for Your precius and detailed explanation. Very anathomic relevant! Found it usefull!!

[@emilywaterman5061]

Omg, I’ve been avoiding squats in the gym for a few weeks because the pinching pain was getting so bad... I stood up and tried squatting exactly how you showed and I didn’t feel a single pinch! Thanks so much! I’m so happy I found out what was wrong. Now to start retraining myself how to squat properly.

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

Glad we could help! Let us know how you're travelling in a few weeks/months time!

[@panzeralienofficial]

This was very helpful. I have this issue, but only on the right side. I will try to focus on holding my lower back straight.

[@d4rkn065]

Same only on the right side

[@Giwdul100]

I got it only on the left side

[@SillySmiley94]

This video is a Godsend. I've been stunted on my linear progression with squats because I had atrocious anterior hip pain. I just stood up and fixed my spine into a neutral position to mime a squat, and it did the trick! Thank you so much for this information!

[@MSmatt76]

Good info but for the love of God get rid of the background music.

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

Yeah, we have decided to get rid of it on newer content hahaha

[@dev4statingx90]

I like it

[@jamesdimock8837]

That music was bussin, was vibing to it

[@JamessMorrow]

Omg, the 2nd tip of not extending literally saved me

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

Love that! Share it around for us, it helps the channel grow!

[@justmeandtom2072]

Perfectly well explained. There are many videos like this but none is as clear as this one. This helped my with my squat. Good job.

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

Thanks for following! Hopefully we can help the many people out there that experience the same thing!

[@JaysonGrant7]

Love you bro, your the only one whos made a video on this. I felt immediate relief

[@danielledrummond6468]

OMG I just found this and it’s going to change my life. I have a dynamic hip screw and I’ve been blaming this for my hip pinching, however I just stood up and tried to squat with neutral spine and I have so much more range with zero pain. Thank you!

[@xthinker2552]

Thank u so much May the universe bless u. . I thought it was only my anterior tilt causing this hip pain for long. . but now I know. It is impingement. B4 this anterior thing I was already feeling this hip pain but it was side ways. Later it end up here . . . Am little relief after one session of the hip impingement exercises. Thanks once again

[@sherirx]

This was so helpful to me!! I’ve had left groin pain in my squat for months that is not resolving. The pelvic tilt information was so helpful. I don’t think I’ve been in a neutral position while squatting. Will implement this tip immediately and see if that gives me relief!

[@fr3ak1shh]

Sweet Jesus this helps so much. For a minute there I thought I was going to hit 315 bench before 315 sqaut!

[@filabila]

Aint that the truth.. 305 bench and a 135 squat right here... Fml

[@theadventurest4345]

275 bench and 285 squat all because of my hip pain

[@ImMakEiTNasty]

@@theadventurest4345 same lol, shit is so annoying. Did you get it fixed and if so, how?

[@theadventurest4345]

@@ImMakEiTNasty i have been doing a lot of yoga and stretching and it helped a lot, i haven't got any stronger though because i just finished boot camp and could not workout

Been going through content on FAI and though this is a video with one of the least amount of views, it is definitely the most informative from a theoretical point of view. Love it!

great vid thanks! Really liked the explanation of how the femur pinches the acetabulum

The soundtrack got me listening with my head boppin

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

I regret the music so much haha, beginner decisions, amateur decisions

[@bb-3653]

Strength Culture its not bad..just most people are used to a typical workout based sound track..whereas to me. if it sounds nice then idc too much 😂😂

[@christinelamb1167]

Thank you so much for this very informative presentation! I am currently experiencing some anterior hip pain issues, and it has me sidelined from my regular activities. I have been having some pain in my hip for quite a while now, but I kept just ignoring it, and continuing with my regular exercise activities. Last week I was in so much pain that I ended up at the Dr's office. I am going to see a PT next week, and hopefully we can figure out what is exactly going on with my hip. I don't know if I have FAI, but it's a possibility. There is definitely something going on that my hip is not happy about! Again, many thanks for the information!

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

I hope your hip troubles are behind you!

[@uhhcoolstory5627]

So I tried out changing the position of my pelvis when I squat and the first three reps feel great… will update this comment as I continue Did another set and it felt great and I got deeper 6:20 that’s exactly what worked for me so far Just did a long pause squat and no hip pain👍🏻

Let’s go!!

Ever had someone only experience this hip pain during a low bar squat and never a high bar?

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

Many times! Quite common

[@97achis]

I realized that i got this feeling after i squatted very deep(ass to grass) and then after a few weeks i felt a pinch in my right hip while squatting. Hope your video will help me out!!

[@usmanmohammad7417]

did it help? i swear i have the same issue as you but in my left hip, i was squatting quite deep and its been a whole week and the pain hasnt subsided

[@97achis]

@@usmanmohammad7417 i took a break from squats for a month and the pain got away. Make sure you stretching your hips and generally be active throught out the day

@@97achis I would hate to take a month from squatting but then again I guess it has to be done :(

[@97achis]

@@usmanmohammad7417 its worse doing them and feel the pain tho..you can do other leg exercises that dont require that much of hip flexion such as leg extensions etc.

[@treasurethetime2463]

This is my second go round. The first time, I could barely walk. It healed. Pain free. Decided to leg train without squat(ext, leg curls etc) and all is well. Tried to squat again and that clicky crackly inner hip pain is back. Done with squats.

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

Sorry to hear that. We recommend speaking to a professional. Try Dan Godeassi at Evolve Sports Medicine

[@allanjennycourtney]

I feel a pinch/twinge in my right hip crease/top of femur but not my left side, also my hamstring feels much tighter on the right side and my glutes don't seem to fire as much as my left side...getting quite frustrated because I can't squat anymore without pain. I have tried foam rolling and using a ball also resting but still have that pinch at the bottom of squat on one side

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

xoJennifer28 introduce the 90/90 hip lift into your daily routine. We have a video on this channel explaining how to do it. I would highly recommend as it has helped a number of our lifters, myself also, who experience this 'pinch'

[@allanjennycourtney]

Melbourne Strength Culture thanks I will have a look now😀

[@Spartan117A51]

xoJennifer28 this is literally me.. if you notice, does your knee on the side affected kinda buckle as you do squats or leg press?

[@IBeOutHere]

@@Spartan117A51 I have the same thing she described and I do notice a buckling when I'm pushing up from the bottom of a squat!!

[@iravageshoti8196]

Great video. Going to give the second tip a try. Please turn down the music in the future tho

[@joel-yd1rv]

Do you expect the weight to go down after you correct your technique?

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

Potentially, for a little while.. you will be learning a new skill and that makes things a little more difficult.

[@joel-yd1rv]

Strength Culture after no longer arching my back the weight went down but the pinch is gone!

[@BlGGESTBROTHER]

Been trying to squat lately and it's been frustrating. When I widen my stance to shoulder width or wider I get intense pain in my hips and inner thigh that never really goes away. If I take a closer stance then I can't hit depth without my lumbar spine going into flexion.

[@nikolai5016]

I get a pinching at the front of the hips when I bench press mostly when its heavy weight.

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

Try some different foot positions

[@wodraeve]

I do not have a pinching pain in the front of my hips, but my pain is in my adductors and in my hamstrings. MRI and RX showed no tissue issues, but revealed cam fai on both sides. I'm doing therapy with a pt now, but am curious whether these exercises would be approriate in my case as well?

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

We recommend the 90/90 Hip Lift for a majority of people. It helps us realign people into a more neutral pelvic/ femur alignment. Give it a go and let us know how you go. I would also recommend some directed core positioning work - Dead Bugs, Plank variations work well!

[@misterbulger]

i dont have pain until after squatting lol... Ive had my right hip operated on for FAI. cannot get below like 130 degrees

[@englishexperts1974]

tubeyourself listening to doctors is like listening at coronavirus in the news.. panicking and giving them money

[@danielgupta9374]

I was wondering, should you use a big inhale (IAP) also in your warm-up sets or just in your working sets? Doing it with the empty bar kinda feels like overkill.

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

Great question, typically no, you wouldn’t need to. We say that your inhale intensity should match the barbell load. If you’re using 50% of your max, use 50% of what you need to create full stiffness.

[@Dluu22]

awesome video. Shared this on facebook. I think I have the same problem and I've been trying to work on starting and bracing with a more neutral pelvis to help with my hip pinch. I also narrowed my stance a bit and pointed my toes more forward. Do you think that can create more space in the acetabulum since my hip pinch occurred more laterally? (Since pointing my feed more forward causes a slight medial translation of the femoral head inside the acetabulum)?

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

Dluu22 thanks mate! foot stance is going to be completely individual, I would play around with different foot widths and toe positions until you find what's best for you. it is going to be a result of your socket shape. Dean Somerset talks about it in a video. ill try find it and link it to you

[@Dluu22]

Okay, I'll keep playing around with it, thanks!

Have a watch of the link I just commented. I think there is an article somewhere too

[@Dluu22]

Awesome, thank you for the link. I think I have somewhat of a elliptical curvature as I can bring my knee fairly high towards my armpit based on that test. I'll keep playing around with stance width and toe position. Thanks again, love your channel. My favorite next to JP haha

[@tenjho101]

gday mate, my pinching pain is when i lift my legs sideways, not when i lift my knee up or towards the back. I squat pain free in my hip. any ideas on what i can try ? i think this is my issue but all the videos are about pain when lifting the knee up or kicking back. any help would be appreciated.

[@MelbourneStrengthCulture]

tenjho101 not really my place to offer to in depth advice, especially over the internet. Have you had scans? Have you seen a health care professional?

[@englishexperts1974]

Have this pain from sitting. But at first I had a bulging disk and From deadlifts, thought this was from a nerve. I'm not sure what really is but the pain goes from butt groing and abs.. it comes from time to time. I stopped gym. I think my glutes are deactivated

[@nicolaspaliaga7512]

Hello, Great video and explanation. The problem is that I fell that pinch and a limited range of motion when deadlifting, and in that exercise I HAVE to mantain an arch in my lower back (APT)... What can I do? Thank you
