The Ultimate Hip Stretch

[@Jake-cb8dm]

Anyone else ever just do random stretches to see whatever relieves the pain and then come here and feel like a slight genius

[@leny7829]

Every d*** time

[@user95395]

sometimes yes

[@LiamApilado]

Yessir, random stretches even ones I make up feels good.

[@Horatio-Monroe]

It’s intuition, the body knows. I am starting to learn that myself.

Nothing like loosing the ability to run pain free and then getting that back. It’s life changing.

[@samuelgizaw7899]

Trying to get there

[@PoliticalPerspective7]

@@samuelgizaw7899 I’m still in the process too, don’t push to hard, that’s how chronic injuries can occur!

[@reggiesanders1284]

Jan. 14 - after trying everything, I tried your exercise for the last couple of days. Immediate improvement and I was able to get back in the gym for other leg exercises. Thanks.

[@Rise4L]

How is it now?

[@ras864]

@@Rise4L Better! I just have to be consistent in my workouts.

[@reggiesanders1284]

@@Rise4L The groin pull has subsided, but for those reading this, needs constant care via exercise and stretching. I discovered that my pull was the result of my not attending to (strengthening) surrounding muscle groups. Doing that work took the weight off of my groin so it could heal properly. I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV. 🙃

[@mattcreed2715]

This man is a legend - instead of spending loads of money on a physio, his videos helped diagnose and effectively treat my minor injury. Top man!

[@harshaparashar8045]

I had been having left hip flexor pain every time I squatted for the past few weeks. Figured it might be because of tight hips. I tried this routine out for the first time before my squats and they were completely pain free. Thank you so much

[@bobbarker399]

so you just did it right before squats and ypu could do them painfree at the same weight?

[@10MTN303]

Much needed as I approach 50. Thank You!

[@Yo_Adrian88]

This has helped me to relieve pain from my sciatic nerve 💯 helps alot

Wow my hip mobility was awful. I needed this

[@simrankapoor1610]

You changed my life with this video, thank you, May God bless you 🙏🙏

I also do this daily . Thanks to this channel . My mobility is slowly getting better .

[@stretch1807]

Let me just say, the glute squeeze before leaning into the stretch is clutch.

[@roccoelliot]

How much money do we have to have to get you to help us in person 😂 I need help fam lolol

[@StayFitandFlexy]

Love this exercise ❤it's really effective 👏 👌

[@DaOneEnOnly]

Always include the stability work. Mobility without stability = pain and tightness.

[@raulcruzquintanilla9834]

Did this with my trainer yesterday and I can't believe I'm sore today stretching is real

[@rachitshukla7111]

I swear. In love with this exercise.

[@brittanyjackson1417]

Will this also strengthen your hips?

[@jazonvorheiz1343]

Does it really work that fast, minutes after? Or is it like after 8 weeks or so?

[@cyo3777]

Such a great warmup before lifting. Cheers

[@UpperPhy]

Do we have to do these exercises only on the side we have the imbalance or on both sides just with different intensity?

[@chadalferez]

My left knee has been injured (Hyperextend) due to awkward landing because of basketball fortunately it's a minor injury only. All this videos helped me a lot Thank you SquatUniversity. i can play basketball now without pain🇵🇭❤

Is there some other exercise you can do if you have bad knees? I'm older. ❤

[@snake64303]

I just started following because you give free tips to help improve/correct discomfort during workouts.

[@poplola763]

Can this possibly help with lower back pain while squatting?

[@ZMoney_GDS]

Opening your hips is almost guaranteed to take stress off of the lower back. Speaking from personal experience and research. Hope this helps.

[@balbibou]

look for kemo mariott tutorial on youtube, most self-taught squat enthusiasts don't even know the basics of a good posture while performing a squat.

[@ShawnFumo]

May also want to try some heel wedges for more range of motion until you can increase mobility.

[@implodingllama2092]

As others said, hip mobility work and ankle mobility work will get rid of the lower back pain

[@TL_27]

DOCTOR. Do I need this exercise if I already can put my calfs behind my head???

[@ensulalachance8353]

😂

[@woody1856]

i've tried the kb weight shift but don't have the dramatic improvement shown here like after one session. I'm still practicing the shift.

[@ojajebie]

Do i do this on both sides or only on the tight side?😅

[@saakerson2]

Love your stuff

[@Turley30]

I don't know why but I just cannot feel the stretch😡 my hips are super tight. I can't even sit Indian style. If I lay down on the table like he did for that test, my knee is way up.

[@uzz530]

What is your profession and how do I find someone in my area?

[@stuartward1357]

Is this routine meant to be a pre-leg day warm up or should this be a focused workout with working sets on its own?

I hope this will help me. I have pain in the same spot right now from running.

[@user-03-gsa3]

Incredible I need to try this

[@daniahkitten]

I do this because I noticed it helped stretch out my hips, I had no idea it was an actual technique 😲

[@MarcValle01]

Man been fighting this for years!!! Gotta try this out

[@busyrand]

Hear Hear! This movement and the Banded Hip Mobility have been Game Changers... I recently added the Hip Airplanes, and will add Clam Shells...

Busy I do all of those: clam shells, banded hip work, 90/90 hip hinges, airplanes and these My lower back pain of 6 years I guess had been mostly hip flexor related. Lower back Pain is pretty much gone I do all these 2-3x a week for maintenance

I have the same issue on my right leg. Is this something we need to do before running or on our own to build strength so that it stops pain when we do run?

I get pain in my glutes when doing this, any advice for that?

[@CharlestonTracy]

So let me understand the stability test is to see where the pain is originating from as in which muscle is weak and not firing. So in this case his hips were not opened or hip flexors? Or were hits glutes weak? I’m so confused.

​@@ja7020 Same... I've also used whatever dumbbells I had a available as the counterweight. From what I've gathered, upright posture and form is the most important part of this technique.

[@poopdeck18]

I used a 30lbs kettlebell, that was a good weight for me.

[@reggiesanders1284]

Is this good for groin strains?

[@mightymight365]

If you strained your groin, it means you overstretched it (probably a weakness there). Never stretch or massage strains. Rest and ice the first 48 hours, and continue with heat after 48. Now this is great for preventing groin strains.

[@reggiesanders1284]

@@mightymight365 Appreciated, and thank you. I think it came from Cycling using a bike that was too large for me. So, no elliptical, abduction machines or squats?

What type of bands are used for the clamshell exercise? Is there a resistance that is preferred?

[@theswedishblock]

Can you please show how to fix Achilles and shin pain

[@busyrand]

From experience... Barefoot running [in minimalist shoes] and ice massage from foot to knees cured mine over years... Achilles will benefit from all thing foot mobility, and foot strengthening [especially the toes... Elevated calf raises where you rise up on the toes will be huge for you, as well as duck walks].

[@kunjsamani2769]

It the kettlebell really needed? Don’t see a point of the weight here.

[@Mezuki91]

It's just to encourage a straight torso, doesn't have to be very heavy.

@squatuniversity teach your runner to not hyperextend his knees (like he does in the final seconds of this video) 😎
