Dr Joe, I’ve been having anterior hip pain all summer. I did the tests you demonstrated and it is my rectus femoris no doubt. I will be doing this protocol and let you know how it progresses! Thanks so much for posting!💪💪💪
Your videos are so great, the pronator teres syndrome one fixed my elbow pain and this one provided me with instant relief after preforming the fascial release techniques
@@OcraMedHealth I’m also having pain in my tfl, I found a video by you on how to stretch it but do you have any other videos about the tfl? Maybe some fascial release techniques or exercises
I did this routine and now I’m having flu like symptoms and had to take two aleve because the front of my legs were in so much pain . I’m now icing and using a heating pad
I get flu like symptoms a lot, including after exercising, bc of an autoimmune condition caused by post treatment lyme disease and that flu like feeling is actually inflammation. I mean maybe you just got sick, but if you're not and this happens a lot you might be getting body wide inflammation.
Great video... i believe that i have this issue as it has all the symptoms /pain etc that i have... However i have had this on /off pain in my groin area for past two years and my leg is also smaller in size and strength due to the time i have had this issue. Could the Rectus Femoris not recover for this period of time?
It may be. Obviously it's hard to say for sure without actually examining it. Give the fascial release techniques a try for a few weeks and see if they help. Good luck!
Dr. Joe, the insight and information you provide is so helpful and greatly appreciated. I wish you were based in Australia so I could visit your clinic. I have been watching a number of your videos, and was wondering if you have any insight or tips on treating osteitis pubis, and in particular the hip and lower abdominal pain associated with it? The sort of exercise that flairs up the abdominal pain is when attempting to do a pike position whilst hanging from a bar/doing a pull up. Thank you for any advice. James
Have you been working your hip flexors? How is the mobility in this area? I have several videos on these muscles you might want to check out. Good luck my friend!
@@OcraMedHealth I have, but potentially not as much as I should be. I'll take a look and add it to my program. Mobility/flexibility is reasonably good, but the muscles are always feel tight when looking to release or when getting remedial massage.
Ok so where do I start. 16 months ago I did something to my rectos feminist tendon in my right leg. I have only been able to start running slowly 4months ago. Today I have just completely fucked it. It’s bad when I extend it and jogging doesn’t really extend it and that’s why it doesn’t hurt. But today I did some sprint and my legs just fucked. Hasn’t got any better since when I first did it and just want my leg back. It’s been over a year and I’ve not been able to do anything and I just want my life back. I don’t know what to do and I’ve had therapy’s such as shock wave, ultrasound, infrared laser therapy, tecar therapy, acupuncture, arnica injections and cortisone injections and my leg is still injured. I don’t know what to do
Don't give up my friend. I'm sure there is someone out there that can help you. Look for a chiropractor or physical therapist that is certified in Graston Technique. It's an awesome soft tissue technique and might be worth trying. Good luck!
Hey I’ve had a similar issue for 2 and half years as a soccer player. I tried everything you did and more and didn’t help much. The only thing that worked for me was test, TOTAL and COMPLETE rest. When COVID-19 started I was laid off work and all I did was rest and didn’t play soccer for almost 6 months. I did gain some weight but that groin issue got so much better. Now I got back to playing soccer again and I felt it again and it’s because I was stupid not to stretch properly and I will be resting again now.
Hey mate, I recommend researching the RUclips channel Corexcell Sports Training. Your severe quad problems may stem from weak hamstrings and areas of the glutes. Tissue work is awesome but won’t necessarily address the underlying problems. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
Hi, this is so helpful thank you, I really think this is what is wrong despite being told by a physio that it was my back, I have 1 question, what exercise can I continue with while this area recovers? Upper body ok? Thanks!
THIS IS AMAZING. I've been on a 10 YEAR JOURNEY. To figure out why I constantly have lower back pain. All I know is 10 years ago my SI slipped out of place and ever since then it has never stayed and it has given me pain for years. I'm finally getting deep into my research. Discovering the piriformis may be the cause... which then lead to it possibly being my psoas... which lead to more research on the hips. Which from your video I discovered my psoas isn't tight but my rectus femoris is what is always aching! Now it's the whole chicken or the egg issue... but I've had "tight hips" my entire life (being a professional dancer, this is very hard for me) so I can only imagine that this has effected my pelvis, SI, lower back, etc. Either way, thank you for this VERY GREAT video. Especially the fascia release info... I recently have been working on my fascia but NOT on my Rectus Femoris. Bodies are so complex... I'll figure it out someday! I'm close!
Assuming rectus femoris tension/facial adhesion issues could lead to anterior pelvic tilt since its pulling on pelvis and set off the body into some form of lower crossed syndrome?
Hello thank you for your information. I have a question. I can't pick my legs up like you did while sitting. My right side locks up around my SI joint. I also have pain around the side and the front like you described. Is there anything you recommend go help the pain in my glute
Great video! Do you have any videos of how to avoid this kind of problem in the future? Like excercises or working on any other muscle groups to keep it from getting thight? Thanks! ✌️
Glad I could help. Best way to avoid future problems in the area is to continue stretching/release the area on a regular basis. You don't have to do it as often once it's feeling better, but you should still try to do the techniques 1-2 times per week.
Thanks! Given that Osgood-Schlatter's problems involve the quadriceps, I'm taking it that these exercises might help resolve my problem (no direct pain except when trying the yoga Child's Pose or kneeling on the floor in a ball; pain then is at the bump on the knee). So far, your exercises seem to help. Comment welcome. Thanks again!
@@OcraMedHealth Thanks!! Sent you an order for your tai chi ball set. Also placed an Amazon order for the Perform Better exercise superband, 1 inch, black. I had earlier asked my physical therapist brother which brand his clinic uses, but there was a miscommunication. He'll let me know brand today. At any rate, I hope to accelerate the recent dramatic progress on long-term pain relief. Thanks again!
Sir! Thank you! So far this is the only video that as now explained what might be happening to me. I have been eating pain for the past two weeks and it only seems to get worst! Will try this for the next week and I pray it will stop the limp and help me heal. Blessings thank you🤗

My pleasure!
Thank you. Iv been dealing with this pain, ill try this. ❤
Good luck! Heal quickly!
Me too
You are awesome thanks so much
You are so welcome my friend!
I did this routine and now I’m having flu like symptoms and had to take two aleve because the front of my legs were in so much pain . I’m now icing and using a heating pad
Not sure why you would be having flu type symptoms. Don't think it's related to the fascial release work.
Definitely not related lol
I get flu like symptoms a lot, including after exercising, bc of an autoimmune condition caused by post treatment lyme disease and that flu like feeling is actually inflammation. I mean maybe you just got sick, but if you're not and this happens a lot you might be getting body wide inflammation.
Do you have any tips for releasing the abductor Magnus?
I have a previous video on fascial release and stretching for the adductors. Just look on my channel. Good luck!
Hey Doc do you still run fitness / training programs?
Yes! We have plans on my website at www.ocramedhealth.com.
Great video... i believe that i have this issue as it has all the symptoms /pain etc that i have...

The injury you are describing may involve other muscles/joints. Hard to say without an exam. I would have it looked at. Good luck!
I get sharp pain in the front hip near the origin of the rectus when I bring my knee to my chest. Is that a rectus femoras issue? Thank you!
It may be. Obviously it's hard to say for sure without actually examining it. Give the fascial release techniques a try for a few weeks and see if they help. Good luck!
@@OcraMedHealth thanks 😊

Did you find out the prob?

Tightness in rectus femoris, since it assures in hip flexion, can contribute to anterior pelvic tilt.
