    i do hope Conor that you see this. I am 48 years old, and i just realized how incorrect my body has been. all on my right side, head to toe. every muscle too tight and would never release. all the stretching in the world at best gave me 5 minutes of slightly better. i think i did 20 reps each side and then a few hours later did some stretching. and i am feeling things i didnt know were possible.. i am hopeful this will be a more permanent fix, as i will add these to my exercise routine. i cannot thank you enough. and to anyone reading this.. never give up. i have seen over the years probably 30 chiropractors, ots, pts, massage therapists, accupuncture, etc.. all w no results.. thank you!!!!!!!!!

    By FAR the best video I've seen on hip internal rotation. The explanation of loading the hip correctly makes so much sense with my experience. I've never been able to get my left hip (with awful IR) to load in the same way as my right and it's been hard to explain why. Looking forward to making these exercises part of my routine. Thank you!!!

    The tip on the elevated lunges was awesome! I’m pretty sure I’ve got the beginnings of hip impingement going on for both hips and any 90 degree hip flexion always gives a pinching sensation. After adjusting the hips a bit and really trying to focus on keep proper form I was able to get in a comfortable 90 degree angle without even a hint of pain for both hips! Now I don’t have to give up my favorite lunges anymore!

    Inside of the knee pain that I've come to see as an alignment issue in my gait. I've stopped focusing on the knee and attention I've paid to my hip has paid off the most.
    I did the a few of the split squats over a couple days and went for a walk yesterday. I became aware that I could move the leading hip back as I walked - WHOA! - provides the necessary internal rotation in the other hip as you explained. Suddenly I realized I had no movement in my hips before and pain is gone, and walking is much easier. And I haven't even tried the other two exercises. Thank you!

  • @Cowface
    @Cowface 2 года назад +26

    This is really great. I have pretty limited internal rotation on the right, this is the only one I’ve found that targets the pelvis specifically, as opposed to just spinning the femur around. I can tell these exercises are working because my hips feel all loose walking around after. Plus I retested by laying on my belly with my calves in the air, and pretty much doubled the amount I’m able to lower my right leg to the outside, I’m probably close to 45 degrees now.

    These videos are really helpful, thank you. But I often get confused at the beginning of an exercise demonstration, I often cannot tell which hip you're trying to address and rotate in, or out, for that exercise. I think it'll be real helpful if you could announce which hip and which rotation your exercise is about to address. Because when you go into details about the mechanics of the moments, then move on to the next exercise. Then, when I watch another video, the confusions just mount up, and I get even more confused, thank you. If you can tell us right at the beginning of the exercise demonstration, I can even note it down or make metal notes. If you can tell us at what point the hips internally and externally rotate, it will help with our understanding.

    This is so interesting! When I did the straight leg test before doing the exercises you suggested, there was a clicking noise at around 10% lift even though I was able to go all the way to 70% on each leg. However, after doing each exercise only 5 times on each foot, the clicking noise moved up to around 50% lift which is so cool! Hoping that will go away eventually the more I do these workouts.
