After suffering from hip pain for the last couple of years that has steadily worsened, including so much pain sleeping at night that it was waking me up several times a night, I found this video about three weeks ago. After ONE DAY of doing these, I felt IMMEDIATE relief. And one day meant 5 reps each. That was all it took! I now do them nearly every day. I still have some hip pain, and pain in the groin, but it doesn’t wake me up at night anymore. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

My sudden sharp hip pain turned out to be a fist-sized TUMOR right where the femoral artery/vein/nerve met, no joke. Apparently, it had been growing since I was a teen. This hip pain appeared in my early 60s, came out of nowhere. So painful, I couldn't walk, crawl, lay down- just murderous. It had nothing to do w/muscle, tendons, etc. Paramedics had to carry me out. The ER docs were almost useless until one decided to throw me in the CT where they saw the tumor. Then everything went downhill. I tell you this to consider all options, not just issues you think related to musculature or connective tissues.

I have been having sharp pains in my right hip on and off for about a year. I have been doing your exercises for about a week now, and I can already feel an improvement. I did the excercises on both legs, and the right leg/hip was measurable weaker than the left. So strengthening the weak leg/hip made sense. It helped, so I guess that I owe you a like and a comment.

[@2Hesiod]

After 16 years of limping due to a shar pain in the left hip I found a sort of miracle exercise: grasping a foot stool, kneel down fully pushing ones hips down and back to get the hip forward and stand back up leaning on the stool. Two reasons its broadly applicable to the general public: 1, most people do not get off the floor often and need practice and exercise at that; 2, forward hip position is one of the most crucial keys to sitting posture and habitual sitting in chairs tends to destroy that.

Those two exercises for full hip rotation are already relieving my mysterious, chronic hip pain. Biking, playing drums, jogging, squatting--too much movement for me in only one plane. Thinking of a similar joint, imagine if I only moved my shoulder back and forth and never out to the side or inward. That's essentially what I've doing to my poor hips for such a long time. Very logical, simple and powerful stuff. Thank you so much!!

[@djdoolittle1315]

The kick drum really caused me a lot of pain as I got older.

[@neilsachs]

@@djdoolittle1315 I’m curious if you found any exercises or movements relieving for your hip pain from playing the kick drum.

[@Taleb1160]

As a busy drummer and a health professional, I can advise you strongly to raise your drum seat up so that your thigh bone is pointing slightly downwards. This means the angle of the hip is such that the hip joint is higher than the knee joint. This essentially opens up the hip a little and reduces the impingement we often see with drummers and especially with the bass drum side leg/hip. Chronic flexure during drumming will cause a slight increase in bone mass near where the thigh bone comes close to the labrum . As a result this will cause chronic inflammation and potentially damage your labrum, both which also may cause a cyst to form causing further discomfort and pain. This is a common drummer injury .. do yourself a favor and raise your seat till your knee Height is below your hip joint level. Use a wider throne and preferably one with a lower back support. This helped me immensely and helped me avoid surgery. Good luck bro

This exercise used to make me worse, because I was doing it with bad form, and has now has made me much better. 75 years old, small scoliosis, huge lordosis, and doc advised no surgery as pelvis is fused to spine at S3-tailbone. This is helping!!

Good Morning Matt. It is morning, not that it matters to me as I've been awake all night with pain. In my efforts to find anything to relieve this pain enough to get some sleep I came across your channel. I've been in pain for decades and lately it's become unbearable. I've had plenty of advice from friends, family, professionals, and complete strangers and it all points to knee replacement surgery. I say to them "Why stop at my knees when all other parts of me hurt just as much if not more?" It's my birthday today (73) and my birthday wish came true. I finally found someone who is aligned with what I've thought for years but didn't know what to do about it. I may have to get surgery but I want to try some other methods first starting with your channel. Now that I've subscribed I'll begin today. Cheers from Canada 🖐🙂

[@donaldlamont2656]

For all the people commenting down below about sharp hip pain, there is a very good chance you have osteoarthritis of the hip, where some of the cartilage has worn away on the femur and also the socket of the joint, resulting in a sharp pain when the bone of the femur rubs against the bone of the socket. You may also have bone spurs on the femur which is tearing into the cartilage on the socket. Instead of assuming you have muscle problems, get x-rays done of your hip joints. Also, get ultrasound done on your hip joints which will show up any bone spurs, and you may be surprised to find out that the femur or ball is no longer round, but has hills and valleys in it from the bone spurs and bone rubbing on bone.

This helped a lot. I strained my obturador externus way back in 2012 running and it flares up a lot when I run, but I have tight hips and weak abs from sitting so much. The first exercise felt like a workout without any added weight. I guess I tend to work on the inner part where I got hurt instead of the outside as much. Thank you so much! I’m going to start doing these every day to help combat my sitting so much.

Thank you for this information. It makes so much sense.

Thank you for the fabulous instruction. I especially like that you give good non-examples: do this, not this. Very helpful, thank you so much! I had a pain free afternoon yesterday after trying these exercises.

Wow, I so wish you had been around before I fell for the RIIPS! My diagnosis was Labrum Tear and yes, I got the surgery. Well… you guessed it, the pain is back again but thanks to you I have the option of a new and more sustainable approach to my groin pain.

Totally agree with this approach and diagnosis! Thank you!

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll try that.

Definitely take it easy at first, you'll probably want to start out like he says with just one rep for the first few days. My husband overdid it and he was in a lot of pain for a few days until he started over again and kept it light at first. It's been a couple of weeks and he says he's never felt better and can walk and move around without pain. Amazing since he's had that issue for a few years and has been to 3 physical therapist who he's thinking overworked his groin and hip muscles with hard exercises. Thank you thank you so much!!
