I was diagnosed with FAI & torn labrum in November, it was suggested I have hip surgery, possibly a hip replacement (I'm 39 y/o). I found these guys online via FAI fix and their program has saved me from surgery. As long as I stretch and do my tissue massage, I'm back to working out 5-6 days a week, with more focus on strengthening glutes. Prior to FAI fix I could barely walk, had intense pain shooting down my thigh and wondered if I would ever be able to work out again. I'm forever grateful!

[@Dracoboss98]

I hurt myself four years ago by tearing an adductor almost completely off the hip bone and I’ve had impingement ever since. I’ve done so many stretches and band mobilizations and the pain never went away. Using the barbell and massage ball techniques were an unholy level of pain. I think it finally broke up the scar tissue, because now I can squat down like normal. Amazing video

[@boi9933]

wow, so i should probably blast my hip with a ball and hope it breaks up the scar tissue

[@clubbizarre]

I have so much pain for years... instantly gone after "massaging" the adductor. Insane.

[@randygentry1207]

I have been doing this stuff for about two years and at my age (50yrs) nothing is more life changing.Theres nothing like being able to move and breath comfortably doing everything outside the gym.

[@charliehoksbergen5964]

Always make unrelenting eye contact with someone when doing these

[@Mr87MadMax]

These are best done at home, on webcam, for tips.

[@thatkmart]

Respect the hell out of this guy for demonstrating these movements. In one take no less.

Really needed this. I bought Shanes FAI Fix program and it has really helped me a lot. While I'm not 100% there yet I'm getting better each day and have noticed my hip mobility get better over time. The most helpful exercises for me has been the kettle bell adductor smash

[@southj89]

the cue about keeping your ribcage down in the couch stretch is what I've been missing when I've watched other tutorials. great video

This video couldn't have come out at a more perfect time. It was just Monday that I started feeling my hip impingement and after yesterday's session, I'm already feeling MUCH better. Thanks, guys!

[@VinhzCastle]

I've actually been needing a video like this for a long time since I feel like I have hip impingement, but most of the videos out there just show that one band stretch and that's it. This video did a much better job.

[@ddrum121]

this video is amazing. i popped my hip while squatting last week, could not have posted this at a better time lol

[@Aeryu]

That kettlebell lovin'. why does no one ever spoon me like that. Pretty sure if I tried some of that in my gym I would get a warning. And oh man this video has it all, tender foreplay, sweet lovin', position changes and a very happy ending.

[@tyrounsaville]

I hurt what I thought was my hip flexor doing sumo deadlifts and then found out it was hip impingement. This video helped a lot thank you 🙏

[@sbmisi]

Tweaked my lower back last week and now there's pain in the right hip and groin area. Gonna go to the gym right now and hump the shit out of the barbell and kettlebell.

[@GermanLehmann98]

I was having this exact issue for about a month so a 20 minute video on the topic is amazing. Thanks Alan and Shane !

[@hellaflygames788]

is it fiexed?

[@Eacott1234]

This video is a SERIOUSLY GOOD collection of incredible stretches. Not only will these improve your hip impingement, but with very flexible and mobile hips, other problems can magically clear themselves such as knee pain and ankle issues. From years of research from reading posture and pain books, observing range of motion in myself and in others, as well as knowing most of these stretches - Alan, you have a perfectly complete list of GREAT stretches. There are some that require two people, but for nearly 99% of people out there, THIS video will solve their problem in one way or another. Im gunna save this link and use all the time!

[@dexistence19]

Wow this is awesome. So cool to see Shane on your channel, I have been a fan of his videos for quite a while :)

[@KeremSayir]

Wow after 4 hip surgeries I haven't lifted in two years... thank you so much

[@DerekHogan9]

Had both hips operated on for FAI. Feels good, hopefully exercises like this will keep it that way.

[@jestopherson]

Thanks so much Alan. He described all of my issues right into the video and my eyes just lit up

I got kicked outta the gym doing that kettle weight to the groin movement

[@danilodrobac6151]

I don't understand how he has so few subscribers. This content is like Kelly Starrett level of incredible and also really unique - I've never even seen some of those techniques before and that's coming from somebody that spends a good hour a day looking at new methods to fix my posture! Awesome work.

[@davecormack3610]

I haven't been able to squat in over a year because of hip pain like Shane describes. I determined it was probably hip impingement but the only videos I could find would only cover one stretch to fix the whole problem (his second stretch with the band). Thanks Alan and Shane, I hope to use this video and get my hip back to where it should be so I can start squatting again.

[@hellaflygames788]

any progress man this is really messing with me.

[@GeneralSouL99]

yo HellFlyGames coud you fix the problem? I have the same problem maybe you could find a solution or tried these exercises :/

[@hellaflygames788]

These excersizes have helpeda ton i can now do 185 sometimes for reps without pain and thats as good as ive gotten but its alot better from not even being able to hiot depth with my body weight 2 months ago. the lacrosse ball one is definitly the best i do that before evry workout a good 10 minuites. Give it rest and do all the lacrossse ball shgould get a little better. I hope minw will heal soon its really bumming me out lol. Have you fouind anything that helps. TBH it helps knowing someone else struggles withj this becvause this shits got me down lmfao Ill let you know if / when it heals

[@GeneralSouL99]

well the problem just appeared for me so i am just looking for solutions. What helped for me right now is doing my squats rather slow and i really make sure that i push my knees out a bit and that i am warmed up properlly. I just ordered a Lacrosse Ball from Amazon and i will give it a try lets see. I hope you will be able to get back under the bar without pain real soon :) Btw how painful was squatting for you when you still had the full problem?

[@GeneralSouL99]

Luckily i could still perform a full squat (just with moderate pain). But still i dont want that it gets worse so i will take at least more week off squating *edit I will continue squatting with lower weight. My pain is moderate and i am already slightly depressed because of it i cant imagine how you must feel :( *As you can see from my edit i will try to continue squatting. I would suggest you to watch: Jordan and Austins Podcasts about pain (kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHXYo41piLhrhKc) since they have some interesting points on pain that you usually dont hear. It was propably a good idea from you to switch to another squat variation that doesnt hurt until you can low bar squat again.

scoperus lmao😂😂😂 i fuck kettle bars always on my public gym.

[@shaleel]

I ended up getting an inflamed psoas that led to hip impingement from rolling out too aggressively very close to my hip joint. It took a week of ice/heat followed by weeks of conservative stretching and glute/core work before I got it back to normal.

[@RealForUs]

Thank you so much for posting this video! I've been dealing with hip impingement for 2+ years and this has been super helpful.

[@jemag]

Should those stretches be done pre-workout, post-workout or anytime?

[@Amiska5v5]

I'd say ideally not pre or post-workout. but anytime except that is a good time

[@brandonwhitfield1278]

Do stuff like this all the time. I don't give a damn how it looks. It works.

[@djfrod619]

This is what I needed. A million dollars of positive thoughts to you.

[@BerlinUKn0w]

These are good stretches for external rotation but you are lacking the internal rotation part a lot which plays a very important role when it comes to knee pain and squatting ass to grass. Most people's glutes are super tight which prevents them from going into internal hip rotation and restricts overall hip movement a lot while also effecting the whole posture.

[@einahpetsd8408]

I'm about 30 seconds in and I am so excited...I stopped squatting for the last 2 weeks because of my left hip. I can't wait to fix the problem and get back at it!!!

[@einahpetsd8408]

HOLY SHIT YES. My hips, glutes and quads are a fucking mess. Everything hurt but in such a great way. I can't thank ya'll enough for sharing this info ♡♡♡

[@ErikBrabantsPianist]

EInAhpEts D I never realized I had exactly this problem, this video is perfect

[@GotROM]

Glad it helped!

[@einahpetsd8408]

It really did. This was 5 days ago? I'm almost pain free. I've done the massage/stretch everyday and there's already a major improvement. I even squatted yesterday, granted at a lighter weight. But today I am feeling great ♡

[@hellaflygames788]

8 months later how is it? my deadlift and bench are blowing my squat to pieces cause i cant squat any tips?

[@dml00]

Hi Alan and Shane! How much time should I spend on each one of these exercises and stretches? Should I do them everyday? Thanks you soo much for this.

[@MikeLee-tv3pz]

Alan Thrall you seriously put on some of the best content on this site. You've literally posted this just as I've been having this EXACT issue! Stretching my SI joint heavily helped but hasn't solved the issue, so thank you!

[@jdmalm123]

Thanks, Alan. Shane: What are we doing wrong that leads to these hip issues, or is it just to be expected with powerlifting?

[@hotvodka7641]

FAI is actually a congenital physical deformation so nothing really "causes" it but in my case it was exacerbated heavily by abdominal weakness.

[@trustbuster3326]

@@hotvodka7641 That isn’t necessarily true. Hundreds of people have hips and femurs shaped so that it seems like they should have FAI, but they don’t. It really comes down to how weak, overactive, or how tight your hip rotator cuff muscles are.

[@davidhodge7318]

Great video. I'm having these exact problems and I'm gonna start doing these daily. Thanks so much for posting this.

Had this a 2 months ago pretty bad. I straightened my feet, elevated my heals, little closer stance, and made sure not to free fall to the hole. A lotttttt of foam rolling and I went from not squatting due to pain and it effecting my hips outside of the gym, to squatting and it feeling like therapy now. My pain was in the front.

Great video! been following GotROM for about a year now since I started taking mobility seriously. Do have a request though: Can we get one on ankle flexion? I've managed to work my ankles the point I can get depth without weightlifting shoes but without a barbell my weight tends to shift backwards. Thanks again

[@forteastro6996]

I'll adopt some of these mobility work.

[@Carnivaale]

I have hip impingement, I thought I'd never be able to squat again. This guy was very helpful with the rehab process. I'd recommend doing what he's doing, because it's worked for me atleast. Like he says it's a problem you'll have for the rest of your life but it's easily managed. If you're feeling intense pain in your hip joints I would go hard, do what he's doing here for a month or two, or when the pain alleviates. You'll then be able to get away with doing less, but still regularly I.e. everyday. Peace

[@PeakBagger999]

This is great information. I'll definitely be incorporating these in my squat/deadlift program.

[@MrIggiepoo]

FAI, tight hamstrings, weak glutes, dominant quads, extreme anterior tilt. Am I beyond hope Shane? Seems when I try to correct the tilt it makes my FAI worse (and vice versa).

[@cssheadshotmaster]

iggy iggy Do these exercises, but incorporate some Birddogs and Deadbugs for breath control. Try switching to front squats for a bit to help your core activation. Fr Squats also require a bit less hip mobility, which will give your hip a bit of a break while still effectively working the muscles. Also try throwing a small loop band around your knees for squats for some RNT (reactive neuromuscular training). 👍👍👍

[@MrIggiepoo]

Can't squat at all right now, at least nowhere near parallel. :\

[@thomas9434]

did you manage to fix anything?

[@nottoogordo]

I was diagnosed with FAI about 5 years ago but have been having symptoms for about 15 years. I've been doing these exact exercises for a couple of years now and they work however they do not stick! Maybe there are some movement patterns that are causing this that I have not address.

[@DeliriumzzZ]

oh my fucking god. I have been suffering with severe pain from the top of my hips for months now. 2 days ago when I went squatting my legs actually gave in because the pain was so severe when shooting out of the hole. I've been working on stretching and mobility stuff for nearly a year, yet the pain was still there. I did the massaging of the top of my hip ( I use a broom. I don't have a barbell in my bedroom Im afraid. ), and sat there doing that quite firmly without going apeshit on myself for about 25 minutes. The pain in my left side is gone when i move it around. The right side is at least 70% less painful. Guess this is yet another stretching exercise i'll be doing on the daaaaaily bby plx. THANK YOU

[@emilishungry]
