[@gbnsierra1]

As a student, these videos are SO HELPFUL. You’re awesome thank you!

[@nathanielwood4474]

Thanks for the video with detailed explanations.

[@jdeck1111]

These are those magic bullet stretches that people wish to they could find. Thanks SO much!

[@goodnewsgal9401]

I just tried this exercise and my hip feels immediately better.! Thanks. I just subscribed. ☺

[@sams.4388]

It's good to see MDT in action. Thanks for the upload.

[@physicaltherapyhandclinico9074]

Thank you for watching. We've definitely found the McKenzie Method to be very powerful and useful for many of our patients.

[@sams.4388]

@@physicaltherapyhandclinico9074 I find your videos very useful.

[@PXx12345]

I think I caused myself an injury laughing at your comment about never treating a dead patient 😂 and that video of that zombie playing in the background 😂

[@santamariajorge]

I have hip osteoarthritis, especially in my righi side. I am a 76yo guy but I still run and exercise. Will this exercises help alleviate my internal rotation stiffeness, and pain?. Thank you for your reply and congrats for your helpful video.

[@annal4478]

How would you recommend approaching this for older people with osteopenia, arthritis, or even osteoporosis conditions?

[@maukaimakai]

Great video! Helped with my flexion mobility. And a little with my internal rotation. I usual have hip pain while walking with larger steps while leg is extended back. Do u have any suggestion?

[@drlauramannering]

Nice work!

[@sams.4388]

Thank you.

[@funqtiofysio6099]

this is pure gold ! thx !

[@Sh.aqrabawi1]

Thank you doctor 😊

[@marcohenriquedearaujocesar9394]

Hi Dr. Sam, what about the fallow to this pacient. Thank you.

[@daNATEP]

more description of his presenting pains and limitations and what causes sudden injury would have been useful

[@sams.4388]

McKenzie is about test and re-test. If an exercise works, then it works and that's what we go with. The McKenzie system does not emphasize patho-anatomy.

[@laurekrupczyk3059]

What happens if you can’t bear weight on your knees due to replacements

[@jamesdoeberling7830]

He was limited into Internal rotation, why did you choose to treat him with extension?

[@funqtiofysio6099]

why not ? the joint capsule is a round complex and works not in the same way as lumbar or cervical derangements. just as the shoulder: u can try it literature based, experience based or just depending on the situation which the patient is in.

[@sams.4388]

In part because hip extension probably helps 60-70% of people with hip pain.

[@thomasslagle9715]

When I do the hip extension test it produces moderate pain exactly under that PSIS joint. I am very active and have back stiffness and pain every morning. It lessens after I move around. Doing 15 reps of that pushing on the PSIS with hip extension doesn't seem to make it better or worse. Do you have an alternative exercise that might help?

[@WyldRhino]

This is great! But would you need to do this on the other non-affected side as well or just the affected side?

[@abcxyz00100]

No, only this one which is thight capsule

[@sams.4388]

Just the painful side.

[@howwhatwhere258]

It's hard to tell dinner details... Does he have the back knee resting on a soft foam or block, rather than directly on the ground?

[@howwhatwhere258]

Oops, did not dinner, meant details!

[@honkeyness9427]

What causes this? I am exactly like this guy

[@sams.4388]

could be multiple factors. Sitting too much is a common culprit.

[@suegalton9519]

i thought the NO PAIN, NO GAIN approach went out with the ark - or went out of fashion in the 90's. This video has horrified me!

[@sams.4388]

Hmmm. Who said this patient was experiencing pain with this exercise? Did you actually pay attention and see that he was better.

[@Harry00020]

If McKenzie does not work, please look at egoscue, and then bob Cooley stretching, they are more updated ,less pain...

[@tylermccaig]

What a terrible treatment.. wow, even your testing sucks hard to believe that this what doctors were taught

[@sams.4388]

Why is it a terrible treatment? Why does this form of testing "suck?" This is the McKenzie system, which is one of the most tested, reliable and respected forms of Physical Therapy. If you're going to sling stones, you need to be ab le to back up what you are saying, not just throwing out word like "terrible" and "sucks."
