This video just saved me from getting 2 hip mri’s. Thank you so much. I have been dealing with hip pain for the last 3 years and most of the pain went away instantly ❤️
I've been watching a few of your videos. Thanks for not talking to people like they're imbeciles. I learn more watching your videos on the same subjects than most of the others. Thanks for the 1 min videos too. I love a fast learn.
Second this comment. Perfect blend of assuming we’re not imbeciles yet quickly and efficiently giving us helpful info. I’m a trainer and have been struggling with the exact symptoms you described in the 1st half. My right hip is so seriously bad that I have difficulty putting on my right sock. I can’t get my right knee to my chest and have that pain pinch you described to a severe degree. I have been trying all kinds of stretches and exercises but your opening description of the issue was so close to what I’ve been experiencing that I am very eager to try your recommendations. Definitely subscribed. Thank you
I couldn't for the life of me figure out an exercise that would remove the tightness and overuse pain in my knee / hip. But my chiropractor said my hip flexors were weak and I had external rotation. The exercise where you pin your leg to the wall and rotate is amazing. The tightness went away almost immediately. Thank you so much!
I tried the test. My internal rotation is woeful for both legs. After I stood up from the 'bookcase' stretch, my hips felt good. Seems like I need this. Thanks.
I believe my knee pain is coming from this, which I didn’t even realise I had, until I tried to internally rotate my knee and my leg literally didn’t move.
@YEET I tried a bunch of different stuff, and honestly they all pretty much do the same thing, but I would have done mostly the ones in this video yeah. It only took a couple weeks and it was fixed
I've been reading a lot on this topic and watched loads of videos but big props to you man. You really nailed it. For anyone having these issues this is the guy to go to! My hips have been stiff for several years from sitting in office work, being unable to properly squat. Run similar routine that you advice on in this video and already after 10 days I'm seeing difference in my squat pattern and range of motion. Best part, I feel stronger and painfree!
I have patella tracking issues due to severe osteoarthritis of the PFJ. Poor internal hip rotation is a strong contributor to the issue, and I've been trying to find an effective stretch. You explained it very well. thank you.
@@lostalbums5444 i suffer from PFJ pain and i even got a surgery done 3 months ago (arthroscopy + heat sealing of patellas cartilage). After recovery, deep flexion was still an issue till i discovered i was holding a relative external rotation of the hip (caused by my lacking hip internal rotation) on every exercise and many tasks during the day. Tried consciously correcting the knee path to a more "medial" position and pain got much better. After couple weeks of internal rotation exercises i found myself better than before the acute pain that made me desperately get into surgery arrived. I wish i watched this video much before. Hope u got better even though its already been 3 years.
Love this video!! I'm really suffering with this at the moment, and I think this has hit the nail on the head! I've watched many other videos and tried their exercises, but not improving. These tests - especially the 90 90 - immediately show the problem. The stretches look and feel right and make good sense to me.. Now to start doing them consistently! Many thanks for posting this video. 👍👍
I’ve been experiencing inner hip rotation pain for almost 6 months now randomly. It hurts to sit crisscross applesauce which had completely stopped my yoga practice from happening. Just tried these exercises and am feeling less pain already. Thank you. I will keep trying these.
I developed that pinchin pail that you descriped and I couldnt figure out why. This video hit the nail on the head. No stretch targeted the pain like this rutine. Instant relief. Thanks man!
Hey, thank you for this. Just got instant relief from *years* of deep tightness at the base of the spine and SI joints that I was trying to fix with . . . External rotation stretches. 🤦🏻♀️ gonna keep working on this now! ❣️
I've been having SI joint issues recently and looks like internal hip rotation was the issue. While hip-hinging (deadlifts, kettlebell swings etc.) the femur is meant to internally rotate (i think) and this was not happening with me on the right hip which caused the issue
great video! This is the first time i see what normal internal rotation looks like when seated.The first time i actually see what I should aim for..your left hip is just awesome..
😮 Dude, you’re an amazing teacher! …the best explanation of the hip internal rotators with diagnostic and therapeutic measures I’ve EVER heard. Thanks so much! Addendum: subscribed!
WOAH. All this time I just thought my back was screwed. I have great external rotation so I assumed I had good hips. This has been eye opening for me . Thanks
Thank you for nailing it. This is just what I needed to learn. I'll be implementing these stretches into my routine. Suddenly almost 2 weeks ago this outter hip discomfort started which is hindering my ability to squat. Thank you again
Your a genius 3 years and that pigeon stretch unlocked my lower back and psoas it was a weird feeling they were so tightly woven to compensate weight which is why I guess my leg internally rotated
Great video. Wish I knew this 10 years ago, my HIRD got so bad that I couldn't sit at all really, ended up with CNS fatigue and tension problems from trying to balance all day essentially sitting on my tailbone instead of hips. It was completely debilitating and no doctor could figure out what was wrong with me, I became unemployed for over 2 years. Then one day I released my periformis with a foam roller and did some stretches like the ones in this video and just like that I got my life back.
I'm so glad I found this video. I have tried acupuncture, physical therapy, massage, pain medication and it doesn't seem like anything actually is getting to the root of the problem. I do have hip issues but I also have lower back issues that I wonder if could be the cause of this so I'm going to start doing
I’ve seen two physios in the past three years due to issues regarding my internal hip rotation. Neither of them showed me a stretch anywhere near as effective as the bookcase stretch
I've been trying to get to the bottom of the pinching way up at the crease of my leg for over a year now, and I think you might have finally given me the answer! I will try some of the exercises and keep my fingers crossed.
this video is pure gold for me, I've had pinching up in the crease of my hip when squatting and deadlifting and no amount of stretching or lacrosse ball mashing seems to keep it at bay. when I did the seated IR test the pinch was so bad on both sides that I couldn't sit anywhere near upright. Going to add the correctives into my routine from now on, looking forward to it! thankyou for this video
Thank you need to do this as I’ve ignored it for years. Has compounded with long sitting hours and now have lower back pain which is not an injury there, but fascia strain because of the Glute Med being weak as well as I have zero internal rotation at the hips. Left one is actually negative. Gonna try this, well explained thank you.
Just found your channel through Brendan Tietz. I must say very impressed with the informational content and value. I've already learnt a lot! Keep up the good work!!!!!
Thanks! I'm a triathlete and my running gait suffered after surgery and after years of not knowing what it was, I found out it was HIRD on my left leg. Thanks!
Squats feeling soo much better. My chiro told me I lacked activation of my external rotators which is correct but he never gave me something that works to help gain the mobility to enable better glute activation.
Why hip internal rotation is SUPER important? Here's a case study: After a failed max squat attempt where the safety bars were set too low, I hurt my SI joint (one side of the "lower back"). Physio gave me core exercises, and although core may have been part of the issue, my SI joint would still hurt when I returned to (heavier) exercises. The issue disappeared when I trained lighter. 4-5 years later and both of my SI joints started to hurt again. Sometimes one side, sometimes the other. Pain occured in any heavier exercises that require hip stability, but it was especially noticable when sitting. I noticed two major imbalances in my posture: my pelves was rotated in the horizontal plane, and one of my shoulders was hanging lower than the other. I worked the lumborum quadratus and did anti-rotational core and hip strengthening exercises. Although I did manage to fix my posture (yay!), my SI joints still hurt (boo!), especially while sitting. Now I noticed with sitting that one knee tends to move away from my body (my hip externally rotates), while the other stays nicely aligned without effort. Finally I've found the last piece of the puzzle: a lack of hip internal rotation on one side. After performing just a few exercises to improve my HIRD, my SI pain is GONE! You can't imagine how happy I am about this.
I can definitely see the lack of internal rotation in my hips at the bottom of a squat. It looks like I’m leaning to one side! Low back always has discomfort as well. Something I need to definitely put more effort into resolving. Thanks Jordan!
Great video!! I found you via another youtube channel I follow that you were often on. subscribed!! Sorry for the long post. My left leg is shorter than my right by 11mm I found out a few weeks ago after visited a spine doctor. Now I use heel lifts. Over the last 10 years have developed chronic pain in the left hip, lower back, and my right knee. They say having a shorter left like has caused my spine curve to compensate. When they gave me the lifts to place in my left shoe pretty within a few days my back pain was almost non-existent except after working out. My right knee felt unstable when I started using the lift but that feeling when away and so did the pain. My hip pain, however, is still a major problem. They said that whenever I move my left hip my sacrum moves with it which gives me limited mobility. Oddly enough my hip only hurts when I sit, or sleep, but not too much when I'm walking. I often stand up even when there are seats available to stop the throbbing pain. I actually relocated from a cold-weather climate as my hip would often lock up winter causing me to fall and have to hope or use a crutch. Any advice? Thanks in advance!
Do extra ankle stretches on the leg with the heel lift.....particularly dropping it down....the rest I am still learning about......lots of compensatory stuff happens
Exactly seems to be my issue as well. When I'm squatting I feel something squeezing and bunching up in my right hip, but my left is loose and free. It's been there since I keep driving my car frequently in stop go traffic. Plus my right leg always leans further outward than my left. Will try this as soon as I get home.
Excellent video!! this video is what I needed as I have a huge struggle with my internal rotation- haven't been able to squat but I have been doing the banded stretches with the kettlebell to help internal rotation and trying to smash down the tissues in the groin area and top of the quad! I feel that this is helping along with getting my pelvis reset but seeing how that goes for the moment. Looking forward to trying a few of these things though ☺️👍.
Thanks for the video. I came to play ball overseas and have torn my groin twice in three months. Come to find out my right hip internal rotation is pretty much none. I'll definitely be using these tips to help me get back to 100%
The left side of my inside hip has always pinched and popped when i stretched. Ive been working on these things and some other internal hip rotation workouts. Listen im a big dude trying to get into mma. Your workouts have really helped my IHR and smoothed out my kicks abunch!
If I attempt to internally rotate my left hip I get knee pain straight away. The pain is located directly to the right of my knee cap (left leg). Are these exercises correct for me or should I be doing something else? I've just corrected my ankle dorsiflexion (old football injury fixed with corrective stretches) which lead to my leftside hip impingement in the first place. My hip is no longer impinged (thanks to more stretches) but as I mentioned above I still have pain when turning my shin outward, and it's not the good kind of pain at all. My left leg gives out during squats due to what I assume is quadriceps inactivity. I've done some work on fixing my inactive hamstrings, but I fear there might also be inactivity issues with my left quad. Can you discern anything from my ramblings? I can provide more info if needed, not that I'm looking to waste more of your time if you're reading this, I am however desperately seeking answers as I cannot afford to go to a physical therapist atm. Anyone else wanna hit me with some advice, feel free. Cheers.
Noah Dancaster First time I see someone with the same issue, I got external knee pain (only when I do this type of movement) caused by a non-fixed hip impingement. I feel these stretches are the exact thing I needed, do you have some news ?
@The Muscle Doc. I must agree with some other posts here, your information is direct, easy to follow. I have done some of the recommended figure four positions to asses myself on the interior rotation I believe, and they have had a positive relief effect after two rounds with a Sciatica on my right side. I can sense my standing position is more erect and less painful. Bless you
This video really helped me out a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I seem to suffer from very painful external rotation right now. Same pinching pain as before with the internal rotation. Did you also make a hip external rotation video because I can't seem to find it.
I've noticed that when I'm in that 90-90 position (as when doing shin boxes) with my left leg back, I have a tendency to fall to the right. I'm happy to finally understand that that indicates a tightness on the left side (that was never clear to me) and a lack of ability to internally rotate that hip. I'll be trying these moves in an effort to fix this problem at long last.
Thank you this is very helpful I have zero internal hip rotation but lots of external rotation and if I squeeze my legs together they shake a lot hopefully this will help
This is my problem on left hip, think it's caused by painful left foot. 90 90 causes pain on left IR and when I kneel back on heels my left foot won't straighten up, also suffer from piriformis, gona give these exercises a try. Thanks.
Oh man I just found your channel from MindPump and I legit have all your videos open on like 20 tabs. I tried the squeezing thing and heard felt the pop just as you said it HAHA. I wish I wasn't on the other side of the world in Aus or I'd be booking an appointment right now :')
In Sydney! Oh no way, if you're ever in Australia visiting your sister please please let me know, I'll fly up to Brisbane (and make you work during your holiday) HAHA. Been to so many physios and chiros and I think I've gotten more in this past half hour and I'm still only halfway through.
This video just saved me from getting 2 hip mri’s. Thank you so much. I have been dealing with hip pain for the last 3 years and most of the pain went away instantly ❤️
I love that, "No one cares that you PR'd your prone internal rotation banded cueing exercise"
FITZNESSTRAINING I solely judge a man based on his ability to probe internally rotation banded cue
I PR'd it today!! 😄 But it was only my first time doing it!!
my lack of internal hip rotation mobility is mind-blowing.
My lower back is killing me because of it.
@TheWhoDatWhoady How much is your hip IR degree? Mine is only 10-15
Same. Never knew it was this bad.
Whole reason I’m here
Anybody here have made some progress?
1st time watching yr video….followed yr last 2 stretches on right hip…felt immediate relieve….THANK YOU.

@@Themuscledoc theres a difference being superfluous and using the appropriate technical word to describe things. Def on point 👌.
This is one of the best videos i've watched on internal rotation of the hips! Thank you, bro!
OMG. The test… I have no movement! Zero internal rotation. This explains so much.
finally someone tackling this head on with real solutions and no bullshit. thank you sir great work.
This is exactly my issue with internal rotation of my right hip! Clear, diagnostic, concise and practical. Subscribed! Thank you

Do you have a video on external hip rotation?
I've noticed that when I'm in that 90-90 position (as when doing shin boxes) with my left leg back, I have a tendency to fall to the right. I'm happy to finally understand that that indicates a tightness on the left side (that was never clear to me) and a lack of ability to internally rotate that hip. I'll be trying these moves in an effort to fix this problem at long last.
Steven Zak keep me posted man !
Thank you this is very helpful I have zero internal hip rotation but lots of external rotation and if I squeeze my legs together they shake a lot hopefully this will help
I’m gonna try this out and hope it aids in correcting my tight hips. Thanks for the consult. \MM/
Great video, thanks!
Clear, concise... Thank you!!
This is my problem on left hip, think it's caused by painful left foot. 90 90 causes pain on left IR and when I kneel back on heels my left foot won't straighten up, also suffer from piriformis, gona give these exercises a try. Thanks.
You are the best!Subscribed!
Thank you SO much.
Oh man I just found your channel from MindPump and I legit have all your videos open on like 20 tabs. I tried the squeezing thing and heard felt the pop just as you said it HAHA.
I wish I wasn't on the other side of the world in Aus or I'd be booking an appointment right now :')
Beatrix Leung ahaha thanks man! Where abouts in Aus?! My wife Is Australian and my sister lives in Brisbane !
In Sydney! Oh no way, if you're ever in Australia visiting your sister please please let me know, I'll fly up to Brisbane (and make you work during your holiday) HAHA.
Been to so many physios and chiros and I think I've gotten more in this past half hour and I'm still only halfway through.
Beatrix Leung wife's from Narooma ,
So we usually fly into Sydney! I'll for sure let you know !
helpful, too the point vid. thanks a lot. 👍🏼
When I do the "tests" you show on the bench I feel pain in the outside of the hips.
I have the same and I'm working on it. Do you have this pain when you straddle your legs?
@@chubbymike3372 I'm on the same boat, the reason why I stopped kick boxing and went to boxing instead :l
Literally had internal hip pain for 2 weeks, did everything in this video and the pain dropped by like 75% almost immediately.. unreal.
Fr, physio sent me to get an X-ray and this man fixed it in like 7 mins on yt 🤣
