I've had 15+ years of pain that has resolved with this video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel like I have a new confidence and a new lease on life.
I’ve been in pain for 6 months because of surgery and no doctors can tell me a way to help my self besides this I found on RUclips. Thank you, you give me a little more faith in doctors
62 year old runner here going through my first hip strain injury from a foolish over exertion interval hill session I did last month. These exercises are terrific and offer immediate relief from the tension and some pain I get there. And yes you need to keep doing these daily to get strong back there. I also use resistance bands which too.
Your intro is prob the most important thing for people to understand that *lengthening* (stretching) AND strengthening are both critical. You can't just stretch hips and expect a fix IMO. My issue has been I am quite flexible but some of these muscles are weak while others over-compensate. Having these videos combine the stretch then the strengthening (and balanced all around) have been great tools for me. You do them in a way that makes it fluid and easy to do. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I have been dealing with this pain for about an year know, I’ve seen 3 different doctors who all diagnosed it as sciatica and told me it will go away, I’ve seen 2 different chiropractors who tried all sorts of different treatments. Following this video is the first time I have actually achieved any type of pain relief
Hallelujah. Been under an osteopath for months due back pain caused by tight hip flexors. Only been told to do the typical hip flexor stretch and nothing like this, and things weren't improving. In one session using this I have relieved alot pressure in my back and I can feel the benefits already and how weak my flexors are. Thanks 🙌🙌🙌
Clear, concise, and easy to understand and follow instructions. I hope you realize just how much good you are pouring out into the world. I'm currently in PT for an inability to lift myself up a stair on my right leg. Your explanations help to visualize and understand the exercises I'm doing. This particular post is golden. Thank you, Dr Rowe.
Wow. I’ve been hobbled by my right hip flexor for more than two months and after one sesh I don’t feel like the crypt keeper any more. Putting on my calendar to do nightly as part of my bedtime routine. I will heal and strengthen. Thank you!!!
I've had low back, hip, and leg discomfort for some time. I was a gymnast for 15 years and struggled through the pain never finding much help even after 10 years of being out of the sport. My massage therapist recommended 5 minutes a day of "opposite activation" for hips and back etc. as my dental hygiene job has me sitting and hunching over to work on patients. I have done this video 1 time so far but already notice the relief and a general feeling of strength in those areas. I will continue to do this video and am very glad I came across it. Thank you!
Had lower back pain on one side the last week or so. It's also the side of my current tight/sore hip flexor, had no idea they could be related, will work on these, thanks doc!
Thank you so much, Dr. Rowe. Your presentation is very clear. I have this problem on my right hip flexor, and it's rather painful. I'm grateful for these exercises.
I’ve had significant hip flexor pain for the last month resulting from playing on a paddle board at the lake. My pain was the most severe when laying down, so sleep has been terrible!! Taking Advil and Aleve to the point of passing blood and barely phased the pain, but this video made a huge difference within 24 hours of following the video example of how to stretch. Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!
It's been a couple of weeks since I've been doing the exercises, and for the first time in years, I didn't have any hip pain after my run. In fact, I felt so good I decided to run the next day too, maybe a little too early for that, but I did the stretching afterwards, and the next day, the residual pain was gone. These are really, really good exercises! I've been through PT for my hip before, and it helped some, but not as well as these. I have been icing this time around, and I think that makes a difference too! Thank you so so much for making this video!
Thanks Dr. Rowe, so glad this came up on my feed. Your exercises have helped me tremendously. This exercise is the icing on the cake. I believe that my back problems have always stemmed from my hip flexors. Your easy to follow instructions are so helpful. Finally undoing years of back and hip pain. 🙏
Thank you for this combination of exercises. I found them all doable after doing your sitting hip exercises for a few weeks. Also loved the pace. Excellent.
Thank you for these exercises and stretches. I have been suffering with these exact problems on and off on my right side for months and it really hampers my running and I could feel it helping almost immediately.
Super delighted to have found this channel! I decided to focus on increasing flexibility this year because I've really noticed changes in my range of motion since the pandemic (waaaay to much time sitting). I'm also starting to find positions less comfortable and receiving little "threats" from my back that I could be in trouble if I don't put some consistent effort into improving things. One thing I would be interested in--I'm quite overweight. I appreciate the modifications you sometimes mention and would welcome even more!
This video changed my life honestly. I do a different stretch at the end but. I had SHARP pain where I was afraid to walk. I do these everyday AND take Turmeric Curcumin pills. I agree to strengthen the area to make pain go away.
thank you so much. i play basketball and my left hip especially has just been killing me everyday especially on the court. but this helped explain what and why was causing it and how to fix it. instantaneously subscribed.
Thank you so much for this! I’ve had a very sore hip flexor stemming from a broken ankle injury (6 weeks in a cast = weak leg and tight muscles). Love your videos!
Even though I'm almost 80, I'm pretty flexible, but my hips were hurting today even during a short walk. I watched this video and did some of the stretches. I had no idea that my thigh muscles were so tight! I think a regular session of stretching is going to help.
Thanks for these exercises. I'm diagnosed with hip impingement, bulging disc and Quadratus lumburum pain. I have been following your channel for a while and it has always helped me always. Please advise what exercises I should do for all these injuries. Again thanks for sharing your experience. Peace!
Thanks so much for posting this! My right hip flexor began hurting last year not too long after having meniscus repair. Not sure if it’s related to that. Regardless, my hip flexors have continued to be an issue while I exercise and some movements have been difficult or impossible because of it. I just did all the exercises in this video and they feel better. I will continue until they are healed and straightened. Blessings to you and thanks again!
New subscriber here. So glad your shorts came to my feed about back pain. Just went here to see if you've got something for the hip too.... and look at that, found it! Thanks so much. Been feeling back, hip and knee pain lately either, or or both. Wonder if it's my age starting to make itself felt (turning 50 soon). Never had these pains before, it's all new (months after covid).
Thanks you doctor l will try these exercises l have pain in my hips and pelvic for the past seven months now just hoping to feel better 🙏 in the night no good sleep
Thank you so much for this video! My hip flexors got to me last night after a workout Friday. The exercises you showed provided fast relief and much more range of motion for me! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!
❤thank you....have been trying to figure how to deal with pain inthis area. Will do these. I always refer to you even for vertigo!! Definitely works for me.😊
Thank you. The gym leg press someone broke it at apt gym so I was doing squats, calf, etc with dumbbells. When I went to do my and I lay on bench and goto a crunch but I twist holding a dumbbell. Been doing these and for few months but now I have a pain upper thigh and hip joint. I do warm up 30 minutes elliptical etc but I’m going to try these exercises to see if it helps.
I am clearly the target audience for the hips flexors/psoas exercises. Even the warm up is difficult for me. I will try them anyway and hope for progress. But it’s been going for a while now. I was beginning to think that I might even need cane, especially in the winter. It has reduce my quality of life considerably since I can’t even go out for a short walk in the neighborhood. Thank for these videos.
I am currently coping with front of the upper thigh pain when standing and walking, I have found relief from other painful joints using your suggestions. Awaiting some suggestions. Joh
Dear Michael, I'm writing to you from Germany. I like your exercises. They are so good and "easy". 😂 The Training helped me a lot and because of this, I recommend your exercises to my friends. They have good success with them too. So thank you verry much for that. 💕👍
I'm about to try these to the best of my ability. If I don't have to time to do all of them, which strengthening exercise should I focus on if i need to strengthen where the front/top of my thigh, meets my hip/hips? For now, I have the time so I'm just going to do them all. And thank you so much for these videos, we need more RUclipsrs like you! 🙂😊
Also causes cramps on your legs more on the left side though. The exercises does work and if you added the yoga strength on your spine. Is like a miracle. The table work when stretching my left legs it shakes. How can I help my leg? Thank you very much.. you have helped me a lot!!!
Had such a painful groin the last couple weeks from running. And now lying in bed can't sleep cos my hip is in agony too. Yet again your videos come along for exactly what I need at the right time. Hope this works. Thank you mate

Excellent should practice those who have hip pain
Mr
Your channel has really helped me. Would riding a bike help too?
@@endar117 that's a good activity to engage the hip flexors.
Omg - my biggest issue after I kicked a van into the street.
