Thank you ,Dr.Jo I got relief from pain in my hands ringer finger,by your stretches. I wish and pray for your sound health and long lasting glad life. Thank you so much.🌹
Glad the stretches are helping!! If it is just a strain, you will probably heal enough to get back on the mat in a week or two, but be careful not to re-injure it, complete healing takes about 4-6 weeks. Make sure you stretch before and after so the fibers that were torn will heal smoothly!! Good luck!!
I am going to try go get a specific hip flexor strengthening video out soon, but in the mean time, any exercises that bring your leg up towards your body will work. I have a straight leg raise exercise in my patellofemoral video if you want to check it out!! Good luck!!
I do think you can get the numbness to go away with a consistent stretching and exercise routine. It really all depends on how much you are out of alignment if it will correct itself, but I definitely think you can manage the symptoms with only occasional flare ups!!
LOL! Definitely. Well I hope you feel better soon! Stretching your IT band might also help stretch your "hip area" if you want to check that out. Good luck!!
If the lordosis is specifically coming from tight hip flexors, they can. You might want to check out some of my back stretches and strengthening videos too. Often lordosis comes from a weak core in general, and strengthening your core will help it. Good luck!!
What do you mean specifically when you say stretch your hip? When you stretch something, you are stretching the muscles, not the joint. There are many muscles around the hip, including the hip flexors which is a general term for many muscles at the hip that help flex or bend it. When people refer to the hip, it is most likely their femur bone which sits in the acetabulum or pelvis. The femur bone is the thigh bone. So when people refer to the hip it is technically the thigh as well.
The upper front part of the thigh is where the hip flexors attach. So that is where you should feel the stretch. If you aren't feeling the stretch, then you probably don't have tight hip flexors. Did you have an injury or are you just stretching to stay flexible? Also, make sure your upper body stays up right. If you are leaning forward with the stretch, you won't feel it as much. If you don't have back issues, try leaning back a little. That might help too.
Are you able to do these stretches without pain? I have an inner thigh stretching video and a quad stretching video as well. Those might also help to loosen up your hips, but don't stretch into pain. Good luck!!
@@justo9564 it’s basically a muscle/tendon going over a part of your hip bone which causes the snapping,nothing serious treated with stretching before and after doing any physical activity
Do you ever feel a clicking or popping in your hip, or does it ever feel like it is catching? With anterior (front of hip) pain and pain with bending makes me still think it might be your labrum that is injured.
Yes! The hip flexors help pull your hips forward. This is very important in sprinting. You might want to look into agility training if you want to increase your speed. Good luck!!
If you are stretching because of an injury, then I would stretch at least 2 times a day if you just had the injury. Once it starts feeling better, then after about 2 weeks, you can drop down to once a day until the pain goes away. I hope they help!! Good luck!!
Thank you Dr. Jo, your videos really helps me a lot. I'm someone who always injures himself when playing football but all thanks to you I'm able to recover and get back to that pitch. Thank you so much.
Thanks! I love loud socks!! Try to do them 2-3 times a day if the injury is something recent, but you can drop it down to 1-2 times a day if you have had the injury for awhile. Then once every other day when it starts feeling better!! Good luck!!
Where are you feeling the pain? In the front of the hip, side, back? It could be several different things. It might possibly be a labral tear or it could be that your SI joint is out of alignment. Give me a little more info, and I will try to help you figure it out!!
Thanks! I love crazy socks :-) Every day is fine and will definitely help. Once you start getting some relief, you can drop it down to 2-3 times a week!
Hello dr.Jo i have a question everytime i get into a squat my hips start to feel as if knighs are striking me can u give me a stretch to cure the pain. Thank yo
Are you keeping your upper body straight? Maybe try slightly leaning back...not a lot, but just to make sure you are not leaning forward. That might help.
Hey Doctor. I Have question about tight hipp Flexors after bodyweight exercize L sit Pull Ups. The pain and tightnes in low bact after this kind of workout are not severe and my Flexors are not usualy tight ( i did some of the tests ), so my question is. What is a long term effect on Lumbar Spine if I keep doing this on and on? Thanx in advance
My problem with the hip flexor exercises I've tried, including yours, is that I don't feel anything when I do them, except sometimes in the upper front part of my thigh if I really press. In all other stretching exercises, I definitely feel that I'm stretching the desired part. Whether its hamstrings, quads, calves, piriformis, etc., I FEEL it, and if I press too hard, it can be uncomfortable, even painful if I overdo it With the hip flexor exercises, nothing. Shouldn't I feel something?
Hi Doctor Jo , when I do the lunge on my non-dominant side I can immediately feel the pull at my hips. However doing the lunge on the other leg I don't feel the same pull near my hips? Rather I feel it further down.
That last stretch hit the area, is there any other stretches recommended for the side of the upper leg? I feel the pain goes away when I press into the upper side with my fist. Thanks.
I have been a fan of yours for years. I am having psoas problems and think these will help. I don't think I can grab my foot laying down but the other two look doable. Thanks for all you do.
I really hope you see this Dr Jo even though it's years after the video... just tried these as I have possible tendonitis on my knee, inside. Had it reoccurring over last 3 years. I find it really telling that there was literally no strength in my bad leg to do the stretches 1 and 2. I could only make 10 seconds! What does that say about my hip flexor?!
For the 2nd stretch, I'm so tight that I can't even grab my foot/ankle! I am able to lift my bent leg a few inches and can definitely feel the stretch. Is that ok until I get more flexible?
I hurt my hip about a month ago while running and I just thought it might have been some general muscle pain, but now it has become unbearable to run on. How do I get this thing to heal? And how long will it take? I have 8 important races next month
You don’t have to reply Dr Jo just to say how engaging both your hip flexor vids were. Thanks for presenting them in a way that even old guys can get rolling again. I
Hi, I'm physical therapy in Brazil and Iam have got some problems to learn new erxercises, do you (or some one that read this) have mas advertice to help me ?
Hi. What if we just feel stretched in one leg and not the other? What does it mean? I have plantar fasciitis in my left foot. I am not feeling much stretch at the left side.
For the one side off the bed stretch, I’m not flexible enough to hold the other knee to my chest. Will I still get results if I leave the leg on the side that’s on the bed straight?
hello dr. I feel pain while doing this ..does stretching make it worse or should i take rest .. this pain occured due lack of warm up before football and putting lot of stress on that muscle .
On the second one, like you’re showing, I have the leg I’m not bending against the bed. But when I grab my foot to bend my leg, I’m tilting to the other side. So I’m unable to lift. Why is that? What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks Doc!

Thank you for the disclaimer! Very professional and *responsible* to put it out there! Am already excited.
After 4 years I'm trying to get my flexibility. And I love the way she is doing in her room not like other in wide area.
Are you able to do these stretches without pain? I have an inner thigh stretching video and a quad stretching video as well. Those might also help to loosen up your hips, but don't stretch into pain. Good luck!!
Am doing this for the first time but am not feeling pain or stretch in my hip flexor areas but the thighs am I doing it right?
Yeah, there is a clicking sound when I kick my leg up
That’s called snapping hip syndrome
@@oscardavila8979 Whaat??! I have had that for like all my life. Is it going to cause me some type of problem?

It is in the front of my hip and I can feel it in my quad too. When I bend over, that also triggers the pain.
