I learned that I REALLY need to do these exercises asap and regularly. Holy cow! Thank you Matt!

[@paulafloria5246]

Hi Matt, You are still my #1 go to ATM fitness for life guide. I learned I can do hip exercises standing up! A great transition into your amazing Healthy Hips program that I invested into and helped me find a great path to avoiding surgery and/or wheel chair and PT from my medical provider that had little or no effect. Blessings to you and continued success in all you do❗👩👏🌈

Doing this the day after a 18 mile hike... Yikes.

[@elizabethhumphrey9055]

Totally doable during my work day, sitting at computer makes me so stiff and this should help

I am grateful to find your site. I am your mothers age, was an active person younger, had back surgery fusion 11 years ago. Against further surgery and working on core for awhile. I like your attitude on muscle building and will continue to follow and refer you. Please read book Crooked by Cathryn Jacobson Ramin.

[@yishujia186]

When my hip pain started, I thought it’s arthritis. I do a little bit research on the internet and found out there is no cure for this problem. And then I found your videos and your theory convinced me. I started to strengthen my hip muscles in all directions. And I found out my outer hip and inner thigh are weak as hell. After I strengthened them, my hip pain is gone. My hip mobility is greatly increased. And the grinding feeling in the joint is gone too!

[@Uprighthealth]

Awesome! 💪

[@luke9843]

What exercises did u do and how long per day?

[@yishujia186]

I do exercise on hip internal rotation. I think this is the priority if you want to improve your hip mobility. I lie down on my side and bent my knees 90 degree. Then I put a yoga block between my knees to keep the upper leg level to the ground. And then I raise the upper ankle. Do 15 reps with 90, 45 and 0 degree of hip flexion respectively. That’s one set. Do three sets per side. Do this every day. I find this improve ROM in other directions too.

[@luke9843]

@@yishujia186 got it. Thanks! Did you ever feel a little pinchy in the hips at 90° when you did this or were you fine ?

[@yishujia186]

@@luke9843 No pinching sensation at all at 90 degree. If you have this, it means your joint capsule is tight. It limits the gliding between the ball and the socket. Try to do the 90-90 hip stretch. But don't go too aggressive if you are really tight or you may hurt your knee joints. It takes time to improve.

[@ahmadrenawi2844]

Mr. Matt, I am right now exactly where you were in your dark days. The hip stabs, failing pelvis muscles, groin hell, getting in/out of car misery, can't sleep on my side, afraid of stairs, all of it. You are saving my life, one day I will donate a thousand dollars to you. I'm lucky to have found you, you're special.

[@karenanzelone7403]

Hi Matt! Karen here. I'm 70 years old and have had hip pain for 10 years. I found you on KZbin one week ago and you are positively impacting my life. #1 I am consciously reducing the amount of sitting! #2 Using your free videos is helping me physically and mentally because you've given me hope. I was considering going "back" to the physical therapist because the pain has gotten sharper recently. But, I had so-so results with this a few years ago and frequent co-pays can get expensive. Thank you for bringing your insight, knowledge, and skill to the world! (Became a financial supporter today!)

As a 65 year old sedentary officelady, I thought my body had suddenly decided it was time for me to turn into my grandmother. When the hip pain morphed into knee pain I went looking for some good stretching videos and found Matt's smorgasbord. ^_^ All that's left now is for me to actually Do the Exercises. ;)

[@Uprighthealth]

Get on it! :)

[@cynthiaclark4990]

I will be 66 next month. I also sit at a desk at least 8 hours a day. We have to get up and move! I did these exercises for the first time this morning. What a wonderful Mother's Day! Working our muscles also releases endorphins which help us feel good!

[@cindyhefty1916]

I did these exercises yesterday afternoon. The first one was the most difficult ad my right hip had been “stuck” for a few months. However, last night is the first pain free sleep I’ve had in a while!! Thanks so much!!!

[@MayfairMagic]

I'm 74 & 6 years ago my physio referred me to my local leisure centre where I started to exercise. I'm still managing to avoid a hip replacement by exercising 6 days a week. Mostly in the pool, but also with yoga & the toning chairs. Occasionally I use a fantastic sports masseur & feel I continue for many years yet.

Then I found your video, started doing these simple, but genius exercises, and oila, bye bye hip pain. Thanks to much for these simple exercises Matt! Life changing.

[@Uprighthealth]

Happy to change your life! :)

[@jmdes8]

Matt, you are the BOSS !! I am so grateful that you have shared this wisdom freely with the public. I've always been pretty active, but during the pandemic lockdown, and afterwards I was sitting for longer periods, and I began to experience some pain in one of my hips. It was becoming painful to walk at times. My body is 68 yrs old. I discovered your videos and your guidance about muscle atrophy causing pain made SO MUCH SENSE. So I began doing hip strengthening exercises. After 1-2 months I am building muscle and strength and the pain is lessening more and more. I can take long walks again without pain. You know what you are talking about. I hope that many more people find you and your programs and discover that they can build muscle and strength and live and thrive in a healthy way. You are a treasure. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@nadirafant6428]

I've had hip pain for months! Gets worst during the cold weather or when I'm sitting down too long. I have a desk job. I've been doing these exercises for two weeks, not even every day, and I can already feel a difference! Amazing! Thanks so much for this information

[@Uprighthealth]

You're very welcome

[@katefree9539]

I have a muscle, and nerve genetic condition, which has no cure. I try to keep moving (I used to be very active, and I am still very flexible from past yoga). Your hip pain video has helped so much. I have exercise intolerrance, and I become weak with any repetitive mobement. I am able to use these stretches, and exercises in moderation. It brings me hope. Thank you so much. It is hard when I am unable to walk at all. I want to keep trying.

[@MaireadPeig]

Thank you. I atrophied the last 2 years. Hip was replaced 5 years ago. Engaging muscles because of pain never occurred to me. I started to slowly start moving the last several weeks. However stairs always felt like my knees would rip. Then spirit the universe brought me to you- the squat videos. Found your ones on strengthening the knees- I love walking backwards. In just the last 4 days with little I have done, and I mean little, my muscles on the stairs are better. I actually am not as sleepy. Don’t know why. I just found your ankle video. Will check it out. I profoundly thank you! Picasso said the simplest way is the best way. Think and engage muscles! Who’d have thought? This 72 year old now realizes that I can approach BTS’ Ji Min in core strength. Why not? You have given me tools and understanding , that I didn’t receive in the last 5 years. 💜 Merci beaucoup!

I sit way to much and these exercises were just what the doctor ordered, so to speak. My hips have been so tight and sore from sitting all day. Very helpful video. Thanks for showing how to keep good form during those exercises too.

[@lindawhittle3871]

I was told by Doctors and Osteopath it was arthritis in my lower back radiating in my hip clunking and clicking. Hardly any internal rotation of my leg. So I tried not to overly use in case of damage. But it got worse. Decided look online and came across this video. Well it’s not fixed but much improved, it is only 3 weeks in but I know it/I have more movement and fewer clunks. Thank you If in doubt just try it, it’s not difficult

[@beklake60]

Can you tell me which exercises helped you? I am having serious internal rotation issues on my right side.

[@patricia753]

I have had hip pain for years. I've noticed that it is worse, on one side, when i stand up from sitting or lying down. Recently i took care of my brothers old dog as they were out of town, and i had to repeatedly go up and down a flight of stairs at their house. MIRACULOUSLY, I noticed my sore hip got much better! Since then, I've incorporated stepping up and down on a stool I have at home, and my hip is So Much Better! Im also doing single leg squats, and the results are Amazing regarding a Significant Decrease in pain. So people, try stairs and single leg, knee down ( doesnt have to be to the ground) squats. 😉👍👍 Thanks Matt! Excellent content as per usual!! 🎉🎉🎉

I have had hip issues for several years now and was diagnosed with hip impingement based on an X Ray. It has been getting worse lately until I watched Upright Health's, "The worst thing for hip pain" video. After doing the exercises in the video for several days, my hip issues are almost completely gone such that I hardly ever even notice them anymore. As maintenance, I do these exercises every day which doesn't take very long and cannot thank Matt enough for improving my quality of life!

Hi Matt! Your videos are so clear. I got some relief and felt so much better a few months ago. Then life happened . I got off track with another health issue and back to square one where people are telling me I probably need a hip replacement. Thankfully I saved your videos and going thru them after a sleepless night of hip and SI Joint pain. Im pretty confident I dont have those rare bone malformations since the pain comes and goes. So relieved to feel re-empowered by your “Always Think Muscles” reminder! Now I understand that these practices have to be included in my routine every day as normal activities dont work these muscles. This is a forever thing? Duh! Well now that the light bulb went on after the distraction , I thank my lucky stars that I saved your videos!

I am experiencing weakness now in my hip region mainly my amputee side. I have to see what exercises I can perform to hit those weak areas.

Thank you for uploading a full routine that doesn't involve lying on the floor, I find that some of the other exercises that involve lying on one side to strengthen the other cause me a lot of pain on the side I'm lying on (even when I'm engaging my core). If you could perhaps consider creating a second standing routine to complement this one so we could alternate every other day. (If you already have it I mustn't have found it!)

[@petedog9581]

You may ask your doctor to check for avascular necrosis (AVN). Meds can save a hip, if it is treated early. Often times, a hip replacement is required. These exercises/stretches are the same ones my orthopod and physical therapist showed me.

Hi Matt. Thanks so much for this video. I’ve been trying to cope with back hip and leg pain for the last six weeks. These exercises offer some hope and relief. A couple of questions. On the final floor touch set I feel an amount of tension around the lower back as I rise. Am I overdoing the stretch and should I be using my hands more, what releases this tension afterwards. Secondly how many times a day would you recommend doing these exercises? All the best, Shaun

I just had my hip replaced not very long ago due to avascular necrosis, You definitely got my attention when you mentioned it. I just developed and intense pain all of a sudden in my groin. However my other hip now does hurt I had an MRI done on it and they said it could not totally be rolled out but it was not present at this time. Although the arthritis is extremely bad.

Meanwhile same side as hip replacement traps have been flared up really bad. It took me going to a podiatrist about my debilitating plantar faciitus not going away six months since it began who asked how is my hip . I told her I still have glute medius and minimus tears in the hip that are so weak and painful, SI joint issues that are at bay right now and piriformis pain. She said I need to get back to making hip strength a priority if I want everything else to get better . I used to workout four times a week for two hour sessions and be very fit to the past three years surgeries, and resigned to all the pain and haven’t been in the gym . Even lately have been tempted to just give up !!!!!!!!! I now have hope and am going to give it my all to strengthen my hip, therapy exercises for my PF etc I am going to start with two of your hip videos I have saved and so atleast twice a day. I can’t wait to see how this helps. I am hopeful. You address the full hip in this video so will hit everyting and as I progress I’ll add ankle weights and bands . When this no longer is a challenge I may be motivated to get back in the gym and start working out !!!!!!! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge on the hip etc . 🙏🏻💙

As a senior, I was "resting" my achy joints and finding no relief. 2 weeks of watching your videos to gain knowledge and understanding has changed all that! Thank you for your thorough explanations and demonstration of exercise form and function. Much appreciated. Mahalo!

I am so grateful for this! I am in pain right now from sitting at this computer doing my work all day and evening. I can't wait to get started on these. Thank you!

This actually works! Thankyou, you saved my hip 🙏🏻

I work on my feet 10-12 a day and my job just entails a lot of walking my hips have gotten so tight it is painful getting to sleep. I am going to start these exercises today Thanks!

My rt hip has been acting up for years. Pain most every day. I just did the first exercise and wow, I feel how week the hamstring was. It got a zing feeling, then I slowly did 4 more- NO PAIN NOW! - I went real slow and after a rest I did the rest of the exercise. So far it is amazing, I actually got some house work done without pain. I am even sitting up straighter. I will see how it goes as this is just the first day. I plan on doing them at least 1 x a day. Side note: For the past 3 years I have been looking at so many videos about stopping back and hip pain, none of them address how to strengthen the area of muscles he does.

Been having severe hip pain for months now i just tried your exercise and violaa the pain has gone down

[@leslieg.3069]

Hi. I liked all of the exercises but could not do the one where you bend over. 15 yrs of disk degeneration and 5 back surgeries later that is simply a movement which gives me extreme pain for 2-3 days afterwards. I like how simple your exercises are. I do suffer with hip pain on both sides, especially when I have been laying down for too long. I also found when doing exercises, I have a loud popping of a tendon. Doc said if too painful he can cut it, I told him NO. I will return to this channel because your exercises are for mostly beginners, and I am just that after being bed-ridden for the majority of the last 15 yrs.

Thanks so much for this. I've had hip and lower back pain for months. I've tried loads of different yoga stretches, massage, nothing really helped. But after doing this set of exercises a few times the pain has virtually disappeared, incredible!
