Hello, I’ve been suffering from anterior pelvic tilt for several months and I’m tired of it. It slows me down in Track & Field, it’s hard for me to sleep on my back which is my favorite sleeping position; I don’t have any back pain or hip flexor pain as sitting and lying on a harder surfaces helps a lot. My ATP causes me to walk straight up causing my ribs to flare.
@Upright Health Since I’m very serious in Track & Field, I always strengthen my abs, glutes, hip flexors, and the rest of my lower body muscles. I’ve been even stretching my tight hip flexors; they fly in the air when I reverse my pelvic tilt because they’re so tight even after all of the strengthening and stretching. I’m not really sure what to do as no one takes me seriously and it’s extremely frustrating as an athlete as I can’t do my very best in the sport I love. Should I continue to contract my abs to reduce hip tightness or even fix my arched back? Could rib flare cause tightness cause tight hip flexors? No one really understands what I’m going through which makes it very hard since it’s just me; I really need help.
@@juliusjackson5162 I don't understand "fly in the air when I reverse my pelvic tilt." 🤔 I'd recommend you check out the APT Fix program at uprighthealth.com/anterior-pelvic-tilt That'll cover the bases for most people.
Thank you! I have hypermobility so gaining this kind of strength is so important. Some mornings it feels like my hips are collapsing - and it's not as if I sit on my bum all day.
This works, Thank-you! I've been woken up repeatedly with pain in my left hip extending all down my leg for the last couple of years. After just one session of these exercises I had a much better night. 😌
I have had a left hip issue since 2018. Went to Dr and told I had arthritis in my hip. He said take Celebrex. I chose no. I did so many exercises to alleviate the issue. Still hobbled after sitting. I recently came across this video and did these simple exercises. I was at my wits end. Couldn’t even complete a walk without pain. I had made an appt with the doc again. By the time I got to my appt I thought I should cancel it. It was like a miracle. I had no issues with my hip. I went on a trip and even with lots of sitting on a plane I had no issue. For the first time in years I didn’t think about it. The doc said I had bone on bone arthritis which means hip replacement. They told me to keep doing what I’m doing and come back to see them when it’s an issue. Thank you so much for this video. Life changing! I plan to avoid drugs and surgery.
That's wonderful. I'm so happy for you. I am in the same boat, only right hip. I naturally sleep on my back, so I don't have sleep pain issues, but I will do these exercises, especially after reading your post.
It started with my rt side, now both sides. I can't fall asleep on my back. This all started a few months ago. I am 68. I will be doing these exercises I find on YT. I have traveling and hiking planned!
I’m a side sleeper and for almost a year now I haven’t been able to sleep on my side due to hip pain. I have tried so many things that have not worked, until a couple of days ago when I found this video! After just 1 day of doing these exercises I found myself in less pain and woke up on my side! I cannot thank you enough! Thank you!!!
They do work! I tried this video a couple years ago. I stopped after a while and my hips started aching again. I'm back at it though! We should do these often, it's worth it!
Hi. I watched this video on my tv a few months back and had to slide into your comment section to let you know a few things. I have had this pain on my side for years. I always had pain just standing or laying down it was awful. I saw this video a while ago and tried it and had no pain until I stopped. I started it again every night before bed and I have not had that Damm pain in days. I will Never stop doing this exercise as it is the Only thing to Ever bring me relief!! Thank You so much. You are a Life Saver! I can ride my bike without pain, walk -No Pain!! I’m not as restless at night because I have no pain!! You have given me something I never knew was possible! Thank You Love!!
I told my doctor about my hip pain. She sent me to a neurologist. In meantime I learned through RUclips about using a pillow between legs, which stopped the pain. I told him I thought I was cured. He applied extremely painful electric shocks into groin and both hips and said my nerves are normal. Am going to follow your advice for exercise. Makes more sense. My advice: avoid unnecessary medical intervention if exercises help.
I was having pain in my hips so bad I was getting scared. I searched and found this video, which seemed easy and do-able enough. That was a week ago. Since starting being barely able to do 5 of the easiest exercises, at 1:59, on each side, I can now do seven and I can raise my legs higher. I am so very grateful to you. I am having much, much less pain.
I had the same experience. I thought I was doomed with my left hip being out of the game. After doing these exercises daily for about a week, the hip/sciatica pain I had started to fade away. I recall waking up one day jumping out of my bed with my "bad" leg & that's when I knew I was doing in the right direction. Cheers!
@@clublulu399 I'm so happy to read this. I now do ten of each of the exercises a day. These exercises have literally given me my life back. A few days before finding this video, the pain in my hips and legs was so bad I broke down crying in the street. I'm OK now. I now know that any negative emotions I feel are going to show up as hip pain and I make sure to do these exercises. It's really miraculous. I bless this young man every day.
I’ve had 3 hip replacements in three years. I want more tone and strength in my gluteals. My psoas is working overtime. I am glad to find this awesome video and this special person helping others. Already tried once and feel much better.
RUclips is really starting to scare me.😱 I have been having hip pain and lower back pain for months. So much so that I recently bought a new mattress. I never said a word out loud and this video popped up tonight. I can’t wait to try these exercises. Thank you.🙏
Hi I have been doing this hip excercise for nearly 40 years . I am 80 years now I do it whenever or where ever I can lying in bed before I sleep. Or on a yoga mat . Best excercise taught by a well known Sport Physio in N.Z Or or
Life changing. After suffering for years, with off and on hip pain from sleeping on my side, I found your video. It's remarkable, how effective this was for me. At first, I thought if must just be a coincidence. Today, I woke with my left hip really aching. I soaked in my tub to loosen the muscles up, and then did the first two stretches, three times. I have almost total relief just from that! I can't thank you enough!!!!
I really dislike watching exercise videos, so I was surprised to find yours an exception. I've now watched at least ten, all the way through, and following along with exercises. The information you present makes a lot of sense and shows me how and why the exercises can help. For me, that's way more helpful than "just do this." Thank you so much!
@@katella No worries! It took me a minute to figure out when I saw it originally, too. It happens automatically when you send the money, and you have the option to also include a comment.
I just did my second sleep study, about 8 years apart. The Medical diagnostic information has doubled in what is seen. I was told several things, but seems I have plms. Periodic leg movement that awaken me. (there's more to this!) I've complained and gone to doctor several times for knee jerks, very sensitive hip pain, restless leg, and leg cramps at night, with foot stretches to help relieve pain in bed. Being low in iron is crucial. Being dehydrated is critical. This site is helping me navigate to better hip pain and leg health. I'm a side to side sleeper.
Yeah, not always. I have had, and still do have, a pillow between my knees when I sleep. But over the years it’s had to be a thicker and thicker and thicker pillow/s. And even with that, it only mildly helps. My hips are insanely tight. These exercises help a whole lot more to strengthen them and solve the underlying issue, rather than catering to my weak muscles.
@@heatherqualy9143 of course the pillow is just a short term solution, I believe exercise is the way to go. However, in the meantime, it is a HUGE help, and not that many people think of it!
Yeah I had a pillow between my knees and then so much low back and QL pain I had to use a lumbar wedge / pillow or wrap while sleeping ugh. Targeted exercises like this are everything and they work SO FAST. Amazing to feel GOOD in bed again when I didn’t think it was possible!
Oh my goodness you popped up at the perfect time! My hips are so SORE! Thank you, I will follow your exercise suggestions. I am woken at least 6 times every night by aching hips. Now I know why !
This is the first time I have seen anyone address the hip soreness problem. I have been sleeping in a recliner for 15 years because I could not lay on my side anymore in bed and I am a side sleeper. I always thought it was the pressure of the hip on the mattress was making it uncomfortable, but as you explained it’s the muscles. I did have a sit down job and did not get enough exercise. I want to try this, but I know it’s going to hurt at least for the beginning. Thanks for sharing this important information.
I've had left hip pain for past 3 years, aggrevating! Tried physical therapy, dry needling, red light therapy,, cortisone shot, 2 MRI's with negative results. So glad found this video, the hip adductor exercise is the only one gives me relief! Will keep up with these exercises to see how I feel in coming weeks, been a long recovery.
From how I've worked the last 10 years, to not being as active which I have found that this happens to athlete's when they stop. I've been dealing with this double whammy problem. As for my hips and lower back I have been fighting and waking up with pain at night and stiff and tight in the morning. One night I found your video. I've been doing your exercises nightly for a few weeks and it has gotten so much better. I'm sleeping better, not waking up in pain and stiffness. Thank you for making that video.
Can't believe this. Months and months of sleepless nights gone in two days. Also daily activity has improved 100 percent. Thank you for such an interesting and informative video. You have a new subscriber.
This video is 2 years old. I’ve been following Upright Health for about a year now. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the hips after living a seriously active lifestyle. I was a surfer, bicycle racer, climber, and could hike for miles without any pain. Into my 50’s I was still walking miles and climbing around the rocks and fishing. Slower now but not painful at all. Then my dad died. I flew from Hawaii to Canada to his empty house. He was my best friend. Now he’s gone. I went into a deep depression. Just sat there for a couple years. Finally started doing things without any pain, hiking through the woods, riding my bike, and I was fine. Moved to Washington and worked on boats like I always have. Still no pain. Then all of a sudden my hips just locked up in severe pain. No event happened, I went from perfectly fine to crippled in one day. The doctors recommended a double hip replacement. I laughed, “Last week I could climb the side of this hospital, it’s something else going on here. I’m not doing surgery, see ya.” So that’s when I started looking up physical therapists on RUclips and found Upright Health and a few others who all said the same thing. If you’re getting older and haven’t kept up your younger physical activity, you’re going to fall apart. And that’s what happened to me. I didn’t even notice it happening. So, I’ve been limping around in extreme pain for a year and methodically following the hip exercises. It hurts and it takes a long time. No improvement at all for months. Then there are strange painless days where you walk normal and even hop a little. Then the pain is back. But after a year now I’m on my bike again. Always think muscles. That’s where it’s at my friends. 🤙🏼
I'm old, in a wheelchair most of the day, and experience hip pain when trying to side-sleep. I also have extreme back pain, lasting several weeks now and making ambulation difficult. I will be working on these exercises as I can. I look forward to being able to get stronger. Thank you for sharing your experience and showing me what worked for you.
Wow! Im so glad I found your advice! I’m a previous quite active 70 yr old, who lost my basic life cadence since Covid and thus was mostly just sitting around…for months! And now my hips are screaming from what to them feels like over use. Your instructions are so calm and so clear with no hype I think I can actually fix this. Thank you!
I have never heard anyone describe the awful pain I have had many times. I wake up with it sometimes. I have a muscle disease & don't do nearly enough "physical exercise", but this I can definitely do. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for posting this video. I am a lifelong side sleeper (and yes I do sleep with a pillow between my knees), and started waking up with terrible hip pain a couple of years ago. My doctor said it was likely caused by having one leg that was longer than the other, but nothing has helped, not orthopedic inserts, different shoes, changing jobs, nothing. Going to try these workouts now
Your description of the pain is SPOT ON what I've recently been experiencing. I have been awakened by hip pain for the first time in my life! And, yes, I have a desk job. So back to my pilates which includes the exercises you described. Thank you!
I sit at my easel to paint for a good part of the day ,and thanks to you ,I now know what’s giving me hip pain in bed, and I can do something about ,it starting tomorrow, I can’t wait to get started🎉🎉
First of all, I love the positivity and kindness you are putting out into the universe. It will come back to you. I love the way you explain why and how these exercises are important and how we can solve most of our problems without meds or surgery. Thank you! Subscribed!!
I never had problems with that but now coming into the crescendo years of menopause, starting to wake up in the mornings with hip pain. Thank you so much for the explanation and helpful exercise ❤
This is like a war. I am here because I cannot live in pain anymore, and I would like to avoid irreversible surgery at all costs. Also, it has gotten bad enough to prevent me from riding my motorcycle. I walk like I am 90 years old! I’ll let you know how I progress! You mention pain exactly like I have. I will ATM! Thank you!
I had really bad inflammation and pain in my side hip and it increases when I squat ... Even half squats ... I did the first two exercises after my workout today morning and doc you're a magician... This kind of info for free is amazing and I couldn't be more grateful to god that you exist! Thanks a million gazillion tonnes 😊
It's weird how few coaches (and physiotherapists) know the 'strength through every length' principle and training all the muscles around a joint (and not only the quads and hamstrings for upper legs/hips). It's awesome that you and some other people i follow try to teach those important concepts for free so all people (like myself) who have been in pain can get the right answers to fix their pain. :) Thank you!
Yes….. this may sound nuts but I keep telling my daughter that the phones are reading our minds! It’s been a few times when I have been simply thinking about something and it has come up. Yes of course there’s predictive programming but there’s something more going on! At least that’s my belief.
Went to PT for lower back and hip issues, told them about the hip and IT band pain while sleeping, and they NEVER taught me this. Thanks for posting this. :)
Thank you! I had resigned myself to feeling like a giant railroad spike had been driven in one hip and out the other, that this was just part of being old. Nice to have hope again!
Seems like his exercise makes more sense and he is honest, straight forward. Love him already I haven't even started the exercise but I believe he has changed a lot of peoples life. He is using his purpose.
Thank you so much! I think of my bed as a torture device. Hip pain that wakes me up all night! I thought it was due to getting older! I'm definitely going to try these exercises! God bless you!
Omg I've had pain in my left hip for weeks now. I've tried yoga, pillows, everything I can think of. I just did this and my left hip already feels better. Thanks a bunch!
RUclips's algorithm is scarily accurate sometimes! Lol When I fall asleep on the couch, I always get woken up by my hip pain, so I'm so glad that this video showed up in my recommended. Thank you for posting this video, I can't wait to try these exercises!
I've been miserable every night for months now and figured it's time to call the doctor. I found this video last night at 2 in the morning, as I couldn't sleep from the pain, and decided what the heck let's try it. When I say I got immediate relief!!! I never imagined it would help so quickly. I slept like a baby for those last few hours and can't wait to get a full night's sleep after continuing these exercises. Thank you SO SO MUCH!!
I am convinced now that you tube is reading my mind ...🤣 Have never searched this on any site,was laying here with hip pain scrolling yt and you pop up in my feed🤔 I will definitely try this! Thanks!
I just tried these. I love the way they feel. I've been doing things off stretching with nearly no change. I can't wait. To work this in to my workouts. I'll let you know..
Had hip pain this morning. I did your exercises this morning. I feel better and I'm now able too rest on my side this morning much better. Extremely great video!!!
You amaze me… I have been dealing with hip pain when sleeping for years… physio, chiro, osteopath, massage…..all stress stretching..I have tendinopathy in glue medius …tears bilaterally…had PRP injection… my left ql my lower back hip pain for years…. I can’t get my knee down to floor, as you said….I will be doing this ….see how it goes… I felt my left ql release too! Thank you! Wish you were in Toronto…
It's not just sitting. It's sitting while working at a computer. Reaching forward to the keyboard makes you lean forward at the hips & hip-flexors and ITB. Also it also increases the tension on your hip muscles. I feel it when I stand up.
Oh my goodness thank you! I've been laid up for days with excruciating hip pain. I did this exercise and with one time of doing this my hips feel sooooo much better! You are a God send, God bless you!!!
I recently started having hip pain while trying to sleep as I just got a job where I am sitting for almost 9 hours straight. never felt this much pain before. I wasn't looking for this video, it found me and I am so glad to have come across it and will work on incorporating this into my daily routine.
I am 72 years of age. and I had been waking up in the A.M. with a great deal of hip pain. I could only walk by powering through the pain. I did 5 reps of those hip / glute exercises just two times skipping one day in between and the pain stopped. I did the side hip exercise with my leg extended, but it worked for me. This was before I viewed your channel, but I have subbed your channel for more input and I am looking forward to practicing more of your exercises. Thank you.
Wow! I used the exercises from this and another of your hip videos before I went to bed last night and I actually slept through the night for the first time in forever! Thank you so much!!!
I have had years of hip pain, they almost feel like the pain is "sting" sensation if i lie in my bed or the couch, ive changed beds, couches, pillows and nothing seems to work long term. Until now Ive done these simple, effective and the key "isolated" exercises three days in a row and I have have had no stinging pain and way more mobility than before! Thank you SO much!! ❤
Where have you been all my life?! I had bilateral PAO surgeries in 2019 & 2020 which helped but last summer my hip pain returned on my right side. I am super active and even teach a group power weights class but still, I think I’m weak! I can’t sleep on my right side with out pain! I had 2 ortho doctors tell me I have a spot where there was bone on bone. But it didn’t seem right. Since last summer, I’ve returned to my active life and even WON a trail 5K a few weeks ago. I just know it’s muscular and that I don’t need a hip replacement like they said. Especially after going through the HELLa hard surgerys- “Periacetabular Osteotomy”. My hip did not hurt during or after the race but will hurt randomly, like this weekend when I haven’t even worked out! I’ll be implementing all your advice! Thank you for sharing your tremendous knowledge and understanding!
In my journey, I have made a mistake by stretching my left hip. Mostly piriformis and gluteus medius. I torn the muscles slightly. Now I learned a hard lesson that I should never stretch muscles in their weakest state. Because they are dry and stiff. Only stretch muscles when their blood circulation is improved. This is done by strengthening them in the first stage. Do the stretching afterwards.
Very great delivery instruction... just talking straight up down to earth, so first off, I thankyou for that. Secondly, As I didn't "search" for this video... it "found me".. there's so much truth right from the beginning (RIIPS) that so many have been lead to believe are remedies. PILLOW idea is good one, too... Yet adding suggestion about simple vitamin, electrolytes and magnesium that goes missing in our food intakes. (Just additional suggestion/idea). NOW, I'm going back to continue these sets, very fun to take care of my body when watching good presentations like this. TY
Thank you thank you thank you thank You ❤ Almost totally bedridden because of sciatica for 4 years. Finally it’s gone. As a result my body has become weak. As a result I have awful hip pain. Things vid is Godsend. ❤
Wow! I just did these to add to my morning wake up routine and holy shit! My glutes and hips are super weak! But man these exercises really fired them up. Thanks for the how to explanation! I’ll be doing these everyday now
I've been having issues with my trochanter area on my left side on and off for a while now so thank you so much for this Matt. Also, what you said about not getting caught up in diagnostics made so much sense. That needs to be heard by more people.
Thanks Matt - another great video. I'm a chronic pain sufferer of 30 years, somewhat expert in managing my own pain but I LOVE to study and learn even more self management tips. Really appreciate your positivity and practical advice, keep up the good work! Barney (UK)
I think it is so great that you recommend to start out slow and only do it twice a week and see how sore you are. I have had physical therapists have me do this 1 to 2 times a day and I ended up injuring my glute med because I fought through the soreness because they told me too. Have to have a good balance of excercises and rest💙
Yeah, sometimes doing a lot is GREAT. Sometimes it's not....Everyone has to find the right balance for where they're starting (and where they're going).
I am Lokesh from India. Tysm sir it’s really helped for me.. just in a day my all pain gone.. I was so worried about the pain but literally guys if you are thinking for the right video to heal ur pain just follow sir’s instructions it will really help u all. Tysm sir once again..
I will try this because this type of hip pain is affecting my sleep and I am running out of positions where I can sleep at all. At age 65, I am very hesitant to go to a gym because in the past I have some overzealous instructors put me on resistance or weight machines that actually tore a muscle, causing me real problems and a long recovery period. Thank you.
Thank you. I had soreness and right hip and tailbone pain. Driving a couple of hours i had upper neck pain below the skull. I do walking exercises daily but it didn't relieve it. The first time i did the hip exercises it disappeared...a miracle bless you
I say this all the time, but you have been SO helpful and right on point as to what problems I am having with weak hips, etc. I can't thank you enough for the wonderful exercises you put on youtube. This is exactly what I need to do. I keep telling everyone how great you are and I only wish I lived closer where I could visit you in person. Thank you for all the time you spend making these wonderful and helpful videos.
Seriously, thank you! I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after going to the doctor for hip pain while sleeping and some other pains that are likely also solved by exercising the muscles. I've understood for about a decade now that Fibromyalgia was not the right diagnosis, but have never come across a physician that would even attempt an explanation of my hip issues (other than xrays which showed no abnormalities, so that was the end of the discussion) all I ever got for treatment was antidepressants that I didn't need, made me feel and behave strangely, and put strain on my social and home life. Thank you so much for putting this information out there... I wish I could explain how big of a deal it is to me.
I had been having side and back hip pain off and on for the last couple of weeks. Being a former dancer I wondered if it was just muscle tensing up. Dancers no matter how old they are know their bodies from intense focus on technique. This video helped me think about what I needed and it soothed immediately. Thank you.
it took me years to be diagnosed properly for my hip pain. It was precipitated by my endometriosis; and only when I spoke to a nurse also suffering with Endo, she explained this to me. It was like a lightbulb finally went off.
Thank you. I was having pain in my hip when walking. I thought I may have overdone yard work. Dr. Wanted x-rays. I haven't gotten report back, but I think you are going to make me move more intentionally! I will incorporate these in my morning stretches. Tried pillow between my knees again last night- no pain sleeping. Did some of your exercises this morning and I feel much better. Thanks again!
Well I'm so glad I found this. I tried it last night. Its like a miracle. No more pain in the hips. And this was just one time. So I will be doing this twice a week or more. Thankyou!!!!😊
🌞 Dear Matt, I was diagnosed with Hip Osteoarthritis calcification. While i'm not sure if my perpetually-pained Hips & Inner Thighs will allow me to, i'll definently give these excercises a go. Tkx Matt, i'll keep u posted👍
I just tried these exercises for just a few minutes to see how I could manage them and after just first one my hips and muscles already feel better! While I do have stage 3 osteoarthritis, the pain really didn’t feel like it was in the joints. It was the muscles that were hurting me. Thank you so much for the pain relief!
OMG...I was literally minutes away from contacting an orthopedic doctor for my hip pain while sleeping when this video showed up on my home page!! I am going to try these exercises immediately : )
I was surprised that my recent hip problem was worse when lying in bed! What a revelation! Thank you. I train in Shotokan karate and we have recently started at a new venue with a stone hard, cold floor. That's when my hip and knee pain started and I don't think it's simply a coincidence. I will try the exercises you recommend.
I am so excited to have discovered your channel and these exercises. I’ve been sleeping with a pillow between my knees for YEARS. But that’s just been alleviating the discomfort, you’re explaining how to actually fix it. Added bonus, I want to start preparing to compete in Masters track and field over the next 24 months and already know that I’ll need to work on hip strength, flexibility, and mobility so this seems like a good start :).
Thank you. This has worked for me. Terrible sleeps, pain every time I moved from side to side. Now I have no pain lying on my side unsupported by pillows.
Wow! I’ve had these pains off and on for decades, even though I’ve always worked out or worked physical jobs. I just thought the pain was because I have too much curve in my figure. Who knew you have to S-T-R-E-T-C-H hip muscles in order to stop the pain. I am loving this. It explains so much. You have a new fan.
I’m going to give these exercises a try. I’ve been having hip pain for the past couple of months. I went to see my chiropractor today and found out I have a hip adhesion. The adjustment was not pleasant at all! Praying I’ll get some relief soon!
Thank you for this, it came in my youtube feed without me searching. I have this exact issue with pain in my hips which I thought was due to my mattress, I flipped but still had the pains. Will definitely try your routine.
I was told my hip pain was due to bursitis but I was given the same exercise as the first one and it helped a lot so I'm looking forward to start practicing the others also.
Same here.. Noone told me about these exercises though - I got cortisone injections and radiation therapy - cortisone was hell and useless, radiation helped - But these exercises are GOLD for me 🌟
Because of long covid I lay down a lot and because of PEM I can not exercise too much. But because of the pain I will just start with 1 time both sides and see how I can work this out 😃
I've had to exercise my hips from lying on my side for years. You're putting all your body weight on your hip. My inner thighs were in bad shape. I do exercises in bed when I wake up so I will be sure to do them. I just learned some extra exercises to do. Thank you for your video.
Wow how could you know I’m suffering from these. I am following you and all your exercise and all give me good results. Thank you so much. You are just like a angels
I have just found out I have arthritis in my hips So I find this very interesting . I can't sleep in my bed but sleep on my couch. It seems so much better . So watching anything that will help ease the pain . I take note of
I have hip issues from scoliosis that are exasperated by weak hips but mostly I’ve heard just to stretch the front of the hip since I sit a lot, which isn’t very helpful for a femur that pops in and out of the socket. THIS looks promising. I don’t expect a miracle, my spine’s not straight lol but adding strength to the muscles around the hip will likely decrease the popping and discomfort. Thank you💕
Just came across this video. I’m. Going to try these exercises. Prayerfully they will help me with the hip pain I’ve been having. A visit to an orthopedic specialist was a total waste. My impression from the doctor was my case was not severe enough for injections and surgery, so I was offered no other options.
It’s important to note if you can’t stabilize your core (long term i developed a anterior pelvic tilt from weak lower abs) that’s the first thing you need to address- you’re not going to be able to fully stabilize/perform with proper form for most exercises until you strengthen your core. Pelvic tilts are associated with hip impingements- that’s because they both indicate an imbalance of your lower back, ab, and hip (even down to your legs) muscles. So it’s important to go to a PT first. These exercises may help you until you can see one- but if you have access- please go! I tried seeing a personal trainer first but just ended up hurting my IT band (1-2month long rest required for that btw). A good PT will be able to help you know which issues to first address- or issues you never even spotted yourself. I can do push ups, and I can even weight lift- but I haven’t been doing these things with a fully stabilized core leading to countless injuries. Just because you can- doesn’t mean you should. And I really thought and even looked like I had good form too. Now I’m back at the basics and swimming until my knee heals along with other imbalances fixed.

Hello, I’ve been suffering from anterior pelvic tilt for several months and I’m tired of it. It slows me down in Track & Field, it’s hard for me to sleep on my back which is my favorite sleeping position; I don’t have any back pain or hip flexor pain as sitting and lying on a harder surfaces helps a lot. My ATP causes me to walk straight up causing my ribs to flare.
@Upright Health Since I’m very serious in Track & Field, I always strengthen my abs, glutes, hip flexors, and the rest of my lower body muscles. I’ve been even stretching my tight hip flexors; they fly in the air when I reverse my pelvic tilt because they’re so tight even after all of the strengthening and stretching. I’m not really sure what to do as no one takes me seriously and it’s extremely frustrating as an athlete as I can’t do my very best in the sport I love. Should I continue to contract my abs to reduce hip tightness or even fix my arched back? Could rib flare cause tightness cause tight hip flexors? No one really understands what I’m going through which makes it very hard since it’s just me; I really need help.
@@juliusjackson5162 I don't understand "fly in the air when I reverse my pelvic tilt." 🤔 I'd recommend you check out the APT Fix program at uprighthealth.com/anterior-pelvic-tilt That'll cover the bases for most people.
Thank you! I have hypermobility so gaining this kind of strength is so important. Some mornings it feels like my hips are collapsing - and it's not as if I sit on my bum all day.
This works, Thank-you! I've been woken up repeatedly with pain in my left hip extending all down my leg for the last couple of years. After just one session of these exercises I had a much better night. 😌
I have had a left hip issue since 2018. Went to Dr and told I had arthritis in my hip. He said take Celebrex. I chose no. I did so many exercises to alleviate the issue. Still hobbled after sitting. I recently came across this video and did these simple exercises. I was at my wits end. Couldn’t even complete a walk without pain. I had made an appt with the doc again. By the time I got to my appt I thought I should cancel it. It was like a miracle. I had no issues with my hip. I went on a trip and even with lots of sitting on a plane I had no issue. For the first time in years I didn’t think about it. The doc said I had bone on bone arthritis which means hip replacement. They told me to keep doing what I’m doing and come back to see them when it’s an issue. Thank you so much for this video. Life changing! I plan to avoid drugs and surgery.
Well well I hope that wat you saying is true because I'm I the same predicament
That's wonderful. I'm so happy for you. I am in the same boat, only right hip. I naturally sleep on my back, so I don't have sleep pain issues, but I will do these exercises, especially after reading your post.
It started with my rt side, now both sides. I can't fall asleep on my back. This all started a few months ago. I am 68. I will be doing these exercises I find on YT. I have traveling and hiking planned!
Congratulations 🥺 thanks for the hope
That’s awesome! Can we get an update? I’m hoping you’ve experienced long term relief.
I’m a side sleeper and for almost a year now I haven’t been able to sleep on my side due to hip pain. I have tried so many things that have not worked, until a couple of days ago when I found this video! After just 1 day of doing these exercises I found myself in less pain and woke up on my side! I cannot thank you enough! Thank you!!!
They do work! I tried this video a couple years ago. I stopped after a while and my hips started aching again. I'm back at it though! We should do these often, it's worth it!
Yup sure ❤🎉wish u best doin
Thank you! How about very tight hamstrings? Like when I bend to touch my toes I can't bet down more then a little past my knees.
Hi. I watched this video on my tv a few months back and had to slide into your comment section to let you know a few things. I have had this pain on my side for years. I always had pain just standing or laying down it was awful. I saw this video a while ago and tried it and had no pain until I stopped. I started it again every night before bed and I have not had that Damm pain in days. I will Never stop doing this exercise as it is the Only thing to Ever bring me relief!! Thank You so much. You are a Life Saver! I can ride my bike without pain, walk -No Pain!! I’m not as restless at night because I have no pain!! You have given me something I never knew was possible! Thank You Love!!
I am sending this video to my doctor, to show them, this is how I got better after 4 years of struggle. Thank You!
Glad it has helped! :-) Thank you so much for your support!
In you face, doctors!
I told my doctor about my hip pain. She sent me to a neurologist. In meantime I learned through RUclips about using a pillow between legs, which stopped the pain. I told him I thought I was cured. He applied extremely painful electric shocks into groin and both hips and said my nerves are normal. Am going to follow your advice for exercise. Makes more sense. My advice: avoid unnecessary medical intervention if exercises help.

More helpful to help educate then attack. Most MDs doing the best they can in less then effective or broken systems.
@@peggylittle1979 Amen!
I was having pain in my hips so bad I was getting scared. I searched and found this video, which seemed easy and do-able enough. That was a week ago. Since starting being barely able to do 5 of the easiest exercises, at 1:59, on each side, I can now do seven and I can raise my legs higher. I am so very grateful to you. I am having much, much less pain.
I had the same experience. I thought I was doomed with my left hip being out of the game. After doing these exercises daily for about a week, the hip/sciatica pain I had started to fade away. I recall waking up one day jumping out of my bed with my "bad" leg & that's when I knew I was doing in the right direction. Cheers!
@@clublulu399 I'm so happy to read this. I now do ten of each of the exercises a day. These exercises have literally given me my life back. A few days before finding this video, the pain in my hips and legs was so bad I broke down crying in the street. I'm OK now. I now know that any negative emotions I feel are going to show up as hip pain and I make sure to do these exercises. It's really miraculous. I bless this young man every day.
Thankyou I need to strengthen my hips will practise cheers
I’ve had 3 hip replacements in three years. I want more tone and strength in my gluteals. My psoas is working overtime. I am glad to find this awesome video and this special person helping others.
Already tried once and feel much better.
Thanks so much for this,much needed, great lessons
RUclips is really starting to scare me.😱 I have been having hip pain and lower back pain for months. So much so that I recently bought a new mattress. I never said a word out loud and this video popped up tonight. I can’t wait to try these exercises. Thank you.🙏
Hi I have been doing this hip excercise for nearly 40 years .
I am 80 years now I do it whenever or where ever I can lying in bed before I sleep. Or on a yoga mat .
Best excercise taught by a well known Sport Physio in N.Z

Life changing. After suffering for years, with off and on hip pain from sleeping on my side, I found your video. It's remarkable, how effective this was for me. At first, I thought if must just be a coincidence. Today, I woke with my left hip really aching. I soaked in my tub to loosen the muscles up, and then did the first two stretches, three times. I have almost total relief just from that! I can't thank you enough!!!!
I really dislike watching exercise videos, so I was surprised to find yours an exception. I've now watched at least ten, all the way through, and following along with exercises. The information you present makes a lot of sense and shows me how and why the exercises can help. For me, that's way more helpful than "just do this." Thank you so much!
What is that badge and money symbol? What does it mean?
@@katella It's because I sent money to support his efforts and thank him.
@@AshleyBradford ah! Thanks for explaining. I'm old.
@@katella No worries! It took me a minute to figure out when I saw it originally, too. It happens automatically when you send the money, and you have the option to also include a comment.
@@AshleyBradford 👍
I just did my second sleep study, about 8 years apart. The Medical diagnostic information has doubled in what is seen.
I was told several things, but seems I have plms. Periodic leg movement that awaken me. (there's more to this!)
I've complained and gone to doctor several times for knee jerks, very sensitive hip pain, restless leg, and leg cramps at night, with foot stretches to help relieve pain in bed.
Being low in iron is crucial. Being dehydrated is critical.
This site is helping me navigate to better hip pain and leg health. I'm a side to side sleeper.
Simple exercises. Can’t believe how my sore hips have calmed down after doing the exercises for 2 weeks.
YESSSS! Thank you for coming back to comment to encourage others!!! 💪
Thanks for sharing this, I thought I was getting arthritic but will be glad to try this!
Thank you
Im a power walker and now I have pain in my hip especially when I lay on that side. Thank you for posting.
Sleep with a pillow between your knees. It takes the pressure off the hips. It worked for me.
Yes!
Yeah, not always. I have had, and still do have, a pillow between my knees when I sleep. But over the years it’s had to be a thicker and thicker and thicker pillow/s. And even with that, it only mildly helps. My hips are insanely tight. These exercises help a whole lot more to strengthen them and solve the underlying issue, rather than catering to my weak muscles.
@@heatherqualy9143 of course the pillow is just a short term solution, I believe exercise is the way to go. However, in the meantime, it is a HUGE help, and not that many people think of it!
@@heatherqualy9143 It’s nice to know the exercises really work.
Yeah I had a pillow between my knees and then so much low back and QL pain I had to use a lumbar wedge / pillow or wrap while sleeping ugh. Targeted exercises like this are everything and they work SO FAST. Amazing to feel GOOD in bed again when I didn’t think it was possible!
Oh my goodness you popped up at the perfect time! My hips are so SORE! Thank you, I will follow your exercise suggestions. I am woken at least 6 times every night by aching hips. Now I know why !
This is the first time I have seen anyone address the hip soreness problem. I have been sleeping in a recliner for 15 years because I could not lay on my side anymore in bed and I am a side sleeper. I always thought it was the pressure of the hip on the mattress was making it uncomfortable, but as you explained it’s the muscles. I did have a sit down job and did not get enough exercise. I want to try this, but I know it’s going to hurt at least for the beginning. Thanks for sharing this important information.
I hope you tried and stuck to the exercise routine!
My both hips started to hurt today, when I laid in my side feel like burning sensation,, I playing slot machine 2 hours sitting
What seems to have worked for me is side planks, which provided me almost immediate relief after I started doing it. Thanks!
I've had left hip pain for past 3 years, aggrevating! Tried physical therapy, dry needling, red light therapy,, cortisone shot, 2 MRI's with negative results. So glad found this video, the hip adductor exercise is the only one gives me relief! Will keep up with these exercises to see how I feel in coming weeks, been a long recovery.
Try changing your walking stride form. See Bob and Brad RUclipsrs on this.
Thanks but my issue is pain in left glute when sitting, sometimes unbearable.
From how I've worked the last 10 years, to not being as active which I have found that this happens to athlete's when they stop. I've been dealing with this double whammy problem. As for my hips and lower back I have been fighting and waking up with pain at night and stiff and tight in the morning. One night I found your video. I've been doing your exercises nightly for a few weeks and it has gotten so much better. I'm sleeping better, not waking up in pain and stiffness. Thank you for making that video.
Soo tight in the morning :(
Can't believe this. Months and months of sleepless nights gone in two days. Also daily activity has improved 100 percent. Thank you for such an interesting and informative video.
You have a new subscriber.
This video is 2 years old. I’ve been following Upright Health for about a year now. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the hips after living a seriously active lifestyle. I was a surfer, bicycle racer, climber, and could hike for miles without any pain. Into my 50’s I was still walking miles and climbing around the rocks and fishing. Slower now but not painful at all. Then my dad died. I flew from Hawaii to Canada to his empty house. He was my best friend. Now he’s gone. I went into a deep depression. Just sat there for a couple years. Finally started doing things without any pain, hiking through the woods, riding my bike, and I was fine.
Moved to Washington and worked on boats like I always have. Still no pain. Then all of a sudden my hips just locked up in severe pain. No event happened, I went from perfectly fine to crippled in one day. The doctors recommended a double hip replacement.
I laughed, “Last week I could climb the side of this hospital, it’s something else going on here. I’m not doing surgery, see ya.”
So that’s when I started looking up physical therapists on RUclips and found Upright Health and a few others who all said the same thing. If you’re getting older and haven’t kept up your younger physical activity, you’re going to fall apart. And that’s what happened to me. I didn’t even notice it happening. So, I’ve been limping around in extreme pain for a year and methodically following the hip exercises. It hurts and it takes a long time. No improvement at all for months. Then there are strange painless days where you walk normal and even hop a little. Then the pain is back. But after a year now I’m on my bike again.
Always think muscles. That’s where it’s at my friends. 🤙🏼
I'm old, in a wheelchair most of the day, and experience hip pain when trying to side-sleep. I also have extreme back pain, lasting several weeks now and making ambulation difficult. I will be working on these exercises as I can. I look forward to being able to get stronger. Thank you for sharing your experience and showing me what worked for you.
A pillow between your knees will keep your pine aligned and your weight distributed off your hip.
Wow! Im so glad I found your advice! I’m a previous quite active 70 yr old, who lost my basic life cadence since Covid and thus was mostly just sitting around…for months! And now my hips are screaming from what to them feels like over use. Your instructions are so calm and so clear with no hype I think I can actually fix this. Thank you!
I have never heard anyone describe the awful pain I have had many times. I wake up with it sometimes. I have a muscle disease & don't do nearly enough "physical exercise", but this I can definitely do. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for posting this video. I am a lifelong side sleeper (and yes I do sleep with a pillow between my knees), and started waking up with terrible hip pain a couple of years ago. My doctor said it was likely caused by having one leg that was longer than the other, but nothing has helped, not orthopedic inserts, different shoes, changing jobs, nothing. Going to try these workouts now
Your description of the pain is SPOT ON what I've recently been experiencing. I have been awakened by hip pain for the first time in my life! And, yes, I have a desk job. So back to my pilates which includes the exercises you described. Thank you!
I used to do Winsor Pilates and haven’t done them in years - my body is saying, “for the love of God, go back to doing Pilates again!”
I sit at my easel to paint for a good part of the day ,and thanks to you ,I now know what’s giving me hip pain in bed, and I can do something about ,it starting tomorrow, I can’t wait to get started🎉🎉
First of all, I love the positivity and kindness you are putting out into the universe. It will come back to you. I love the way you explain why and how these exercises are important and how we can solve most of our problems without meds or surgery. Thank you! Subscribed!!
I never had problems with that but now coming into the crescendo years of menopause, starting to wake up in the mornings with hip pain. Thank you so much for the explanation and helpful exercise ❤
This is like a war. I am here because I cannot live in pain anymore, and I would like to avoid irreversible surgery at all costs. Also, it has gotten bad enough to prevent me from riding my motorcycle. I walk like I am 90 years old! I’ll let you know how I progress! You mention pain exactly like I have. I will ATM! Thank you!
I had really bad inflammation and pain in my side hip and it increases when I squat ... Even half squats ... I did the first two exercises after my workout today morning and doc you're a magician... This kind of info for free is amazing and I couldn't be more grateful to god that you exist! Thanks a million gazillion tonnes 😊
It's weird how few coaches (and physiotherapists) know the 'strength through every length' principle and training all the muscles around a joint (and not only the quads and hamstrings for upper legs/hips). It's awesome that you and some other people i follow try to teach those important concepts for free so all people (like myself) who have been in pain can get the right answers to fix their pain. :) Thank you!
I thought I was crazy abnormal with this pain! I noticed it gets worse if I drink alcohol or eat sugar . But Can’t wait to try this!
Na this algorithm is getting crazy. I was just thinking about pain in my hips while laying down and then this video popped up.
I have sciatica so there ya go
Yes….. this may sound nuts but I keep telling my daughter that the phones are reading our minds!
It’s been a few times when I have been simply thinking about something and it has come up.
Yes of course there’s predictive programming but there’s something more going on! At least that’s my belief.
Lol same here!!! Starting to read our minds 😂
lol!! Happens to me all the time 😂
WOW, me too 🤣🤣🤣‼️
Went to PT for lower back and hip issues, told them about the hip and IT band pain while sleeping, and they NEVER taught me this. Thanks for posting this. :)
Thank you! I had resigned myself to feeling like a giant railroad spike had been driven in one hip and out the other, that this was just part of being old. Nice to have hope again!
Seems like his exercise makes more sense and he is honest, straight forward. Love him already I haven't even started the exercise but I believe he has changed a lot of peoples life. He is using his purpose.
Thank you so much! I think of my bed as a torture device. Hip pain that wakes me up all night! I thought it was due to getting older! I'm definitely going to try these exercises! God bless you!
Omg I've had pain in my left hip for weeks now. I've tried yoga, pillows, everything I can think of. I just did this and my left hip already feels better. Thanks a bunch!
RUclips's algorithm is scarily accurate sometimes! Lol When I fall asleep on the couch, I always get woken up by my hip pain, so I'm so glad that this video showed up in my recommended. Thank you for posting this video, I can't wait to try these exercises!
Hello 🤗👋
I've been miserable every night for months now and figured it's time to call the doctor. I found this video last night at 2 in the morning, as I couldn't sleep from the pain, and decided what the heck let's try it. When I say I got immediate relief!!! I never imagined it would help so quickly. I slept like a baby for those last few hours and can't wait to get a full night's sleep after continuing these exercises. Thank you SO SO MUCH!!
If you had this pain, I dont feel so bad. Going to do these immediately and am encouraged by the comments. Thank you so much!
I am convinced now that you tube is reading my mind ...🤣 Have never searched this on any site,was laying here with hip pain scrolling yt and you pop up in my feed🤔 I will definitely try this! Thanks!
This is me! Going to bed is a nightmare! Your explanation makes perfect sense and I will follow this advice. Thank you!
Did it work ?
I just tried these. I love the way they feel. I've been doing things off stretching with nearly no change. I can't wait. To work this in to my workouts. I'll let you know..
Had hip pain this morning. I did your exercises this morning. I feel better and I'm now able too rest on my side this morning much better. Extremely great video!!!
Wonderful!
You amaze me… I have been dealing with hip pain when sleeping for years… physio, chiro, osteopath, massage…..all stress stretching..I have tendinopathy in glue medius …tears bilaterally…had PRP injection… my left ql my lower back hip pain for years…. I can’t get my knee down to floor, as you said….I will be doing this ….see how it goes… I felt my left ql release too! Thank you! Wish you were in Toronto…
It's not just sitting. It's sitting while working at a computer. Reaching forward to the keyboard makes you lean forward at the hips & hip-flexors and ITB. Also it also increases the tension on your hip muscles. I feel it when I stand up.
It sounds like sciatic nerve pain. Visit an orthopedic. I suffer for the same thing and finally got a diagnosis.
@@tyaartis669 not necessarely. I have same thing, no sciatica. Just pressure on the hip joint triggered from repetitive mouvement leaning forward.
Oh my goodness thank you! I've been laid up for days with excruciating hip pain. I did this exercise and with one time of doing this my hips feel sooooo much better! You are a God send, God bless you!!!
I recently started having hip pain while trying to sleep as I just got a job where I am sitting for almost 9 hours straight. never felt this much pain before. I wasn't looking for this video, it found me and I am so glad to have come across it and will work on incorporating this into my daily routine.
I am 72 years of age. and I had been waking up in the A.M. with a great deal of hip pain. I could only walk by powering through the pain. I did 5 reps of those hip / glute exercises just two times skipping one day in between and the pain stopped. I did the side hip exercise with my leg extended, but it worked for me. This was before I viewed your channel, but I have subbed your channel for more input and I am looking forward to practicing more of your exercises. Thank you.
Wow! I used the exercises from this and another of your hip videos before I went to bed last night and I actually slept through the night for the first time in forever! Thank you so much!!!
I have had years of hip pain, they almost feel like the pain is "sting" sensation if i lie in my bed or the couch, ive changed beds, couches, pillows and nothing seems to work long term. Until now
Ive done these simple, effective and the key "isolated" exercises three days in a row and I have have had no stinging pain and way more mobility than before!
Thank you SO much!! ❤
Thank God, someone's out there who has solutions other than riips . I have been having sleepless nights. Thanks to you for this.
Happy to be of service!
Where have you been all my life?! I had bilateral PAO surgeries in 2019 & 2020 which helped but last summer my hip pain returned on my right side. I am super active and even teach a group power weights class but still, I think I’m weak! I can’t sleep on my right side with out pain! I had 2 ortho doctors tell me I have a spot where there was bone on bone. But it didn’t seem right. Since last summer, I’ve returned to my active life and even WON a trail 5K a few weeks ago. I just know it’s muscular and that I don’t need a hip replacement like they said. Especially after going through the HELLa hard surgerys- “Periacetabular Osteotomy”. My hip did not hurt during or after the race but will hurt randomly, like this weekend when I haven’t even worked out! I’ll be implementing all your advice! Thank you for sharing your tremendous knowledge and understanding!
In my journey, I have made a mistake by stretching my left hip. Mostly piriformis and gluteus medius. I torn the muscles slightly. Now I learned a hard lesson that I should never stretch muscles in their weakest state. Because they are dry and stiff. Only stretch muscles when their blood circulation is improved. This is done by strengthening them in the first stage. Do the stretching afterwards.
Yes! I did this too! Did a pigeon stretch right into the hip and glute and it damaged something in there. Will be trying these :)
Thank you
Very great delivery instruction... just talking straight up down to earth, so first off, I thankyou for that.
Secondly, As I didn't "search" for this video... it "found me".. there's so much truth right from the beginning (RIIPS) that so many have been lead to believe are remedies.
PILLOW idea is good one, too...
Yet adding suggestion about simple vitamin, electrolytes and magnesium that goes missing in our food intakes.
(Just additional suggestion/idea).
NOW, I'm going back to continue these sets, very fun to take care of my body when watching good presentations like this. TY
Thank you thank you thank you thank You ❤
Almost totally bedridden because of sciatica for 4 years. Finally it’s gone. As a result my body has become weak. As a result I have awful hip pain.
Things vid is Godsend. ❤
Wow! I just did these to add to my morning wake up routine and holy shit! My glutes and hips are super weak! But man these exercises really fired them up. Thanks for the how to explanation! I’ll be doing these everyday now
I've been having issues with my trochanter area on my left side on and off for a while now so thank you so much for this Matt. Also, what you said about not getting caught up in diagnostics made so much sense. That needs to be heard by more people.
Thanks Matt - another great video. I'm a chronic pain sufferer of 30 years, somewhat expert in managing my own pain but I LOVE to study and learn even more self management tips. Really appreciate your positivity and practical advice, keep up the good work! Barney (UK)
Thank you very much, Barney! Really appreciate the kind words and the support!
I think it is so great that you recommend to start out slow and only do it twice a week and see how sore you are. I have had physical therapists have me do this 1 to 2 times a day and I ended up injuring my glute med because I fought through the soreness because they told me too. Have to have a good balance of excercises and rest💙
Yeah, sometimes doing a lot is GREAT. Sometimes it's not....Everyone has to find the right balance for where they're starting (and where they're going).

Hips are my problems at night. I’m a side sleeper and hips hurt trying to sleep. Thank you for this video. I subbed.
Laura softheart, good morning how are you doing, how is the pandemic situation over there in your country?
I will try this because this type of hip pain is affecting my sleep and I am running out of positions where I can sleep at all. At age 65, I am very hesitant to go to a gym because in the past I have some overzealous instructors put me on resistance or weight machines that actually tore a muscle, causing me real problems and a long recovery period. Thank you.
I just had hip replacement surgery March 2023 and these exercises are a part of my recovery via therapy 👍🏾
Thank you. I had soreness and right hip and tailbone pain. Driving a couple of hours i had upper neck pain below the skull. I do walking exercises daily but it didn't relieve it. The first time i did the hip exercises it disappeared...a miracle bless you
I say this all the time, but you have been SO helpful and right on point as to what problems I am having with weak hips, etc. I can't thank you enough for the wonderful exercises you put on youtube. This is exactly what I need to do. I keep telling everyone how great you are and I only wish I lived closer where I could visit you in person. Thank you for all the time you spend making these wonderful and helpful videos.
You are so welcome! Feel free to drop a SUPER THANKS if you'd like to support the channel! 😃
Same! I feel that many providers don't understand how important good hip function is, and my symptoms have been dismissed by all of them (mostly men).
🎉;hi I fell over 3 years ago and shattered my hip and femur, had total replacement but still suffering from immense pain would these exercises help
Seriously, thank you! I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after going to the doctor for hip pain while sleeping and some other pains that are likely also solved by exercising the muscles. I've understood for about a decade now that Fibromyalgia was not the right diagnosis, but have never come across a physician that would even attempt an explanation of my hip issues (other than xrays which showed no abnormalities, so that was the end of the discussion) all I ever got for treatment was antidepressants that I didn't need, made me feel and behave strangely, and put strain on my social and home life. Thank you so much for putting this information out there... I wish I could explain how big of a deal it is to me.
I had been having side and back hip pain off and on for the last couple of weeks. Being a former dancer I wondered if it was just muscle tensing up. Dancers no matter how old they are know their bodies from intense focus on technique. This video helped me think about what I needed and it soothed immediately. Thank you.
it took me years to be diagnosed properly for my hip pain. It was precipitated by my endometriosis; and only when I spoke to a nurse also suffering with Endo, she explained this to me. It was like a lightbulb finally went off.
Thank you. I was having pain in my hip when walking. I thought I may have overdone yard work. Dr. Wanted x-rays. I haven't gotten report back, but I think you are going to make me move more intentionally! I will incorporate these in my morning stretches. Tried pillow between my knees again last night- no pain sleeping. Did some of your exercises this morning and I feel much better. Thanks again!
Well I'm so glad I found this. I tried it last night. Its like a miracle. No more pain in the hips. And this was just one time. So I will be doing this twice a week or more. Thankyou!!!!😊
🌞 Dear Matt, I was diagnosed with Hip Osteoarthritis calcification. While i'm not sure if my perpetually-pained Hips & Inner Thighs will allow me to, i'll definently give these excercises a go. Tkx Matt, i'll keep u posted👍
I just tried these exercises for just a few minutes to see how I could manage them and after just first one my hips and muscles already feel better! While I do have stage 3 osteoarthritis, the pain really didn’t feel like it was in the joints. It was the muscles that were hurting me. Thank you so much for the pain relief!
These seem better than clam shells. And thanks for telling us how many to do!
Definitely much more challenge than clamshells!
Thanks! Your exercises for hip pain while sleeping took away the pain immediately. So grateful.😊
That's wonderful! You're so welcome!
Can you recommend exercise routines for seniors that are losing overall strength?
OMG...I was literally minutes away from contacting an orthopedic doctor for my hip pain while sleeping when this video showed up on my home page!! I am going to try these exercises immediately : )
This has helped me so much! I can’t believe how quickly it’s helped me sleep without waking up in pain. Thank you for sharing!!
I was surprised that my recent hip problem was worse when lying in bed! What a revelation! Thank you. I train in Shotokan karate and we have recently started at a new venue with a stone hard, cold floor. That's when my hip and knee pain started and I don't think it's simply a coincidence. I will try the exercises you recommend.
I am so excited to have discovered your channel and these exercises. I’ve been sleeping with a pillow between my knees for YEARS. But that’s just been alleviating the discomfort, you’re explaining how to actually fix it. Added bonus, I want to start preparing to compete in Masters track and field over the next 24 months and already know that I’ll need to work on hip strength, flexibility, and mobility so this seems like a good start :).
Thank you. This has worked for me. Terrible sleeps, pain every time I moved from side to side. Now I have no pain lying on my side unsupported by pillows.
Wow! I’ve had these pains off and on for decades, even though I’ve always worked out or worked physical jobs. I just thought the pain was because I have too much curve in my figure. Who knew you have to S-T-R-E-T-C-H hip muscles in order to stop the pain. I am loving this. It explains so much. You have a new fan.
It's weird, but I get the most pain in my hips and legs at night when I'm sleeping. I'm now a new fan too.
I’m going to give these exercises a try. I’ve been having hip pain for the past couple of months. I went to see my chiropractor today and found out I have a hip adhesion. The adjustment was not pleasant at all! Praying I’ll get some relief soon!
Thank you for this, it came in my youtube feed without me searching. I have this exact issue with pain in my hips which I thought was due to my mattress, I flipped but still had the pains. Will definitely try your routine.
Your smartphone is watching you….
Me too. So I'm going to start doing these exercises today and hopefully my bursitis pain will be gone for good.
@@faithwalker5196 I think it is because this video has also just popped up on my phone 🤣.
Just say out loud what you need or what bothers you and suddenly your phone finds a cure.
@@suzymatwetwe me too
THANK YOU,SO MUCH,I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS HIP PAIN ON MY LIFT LEG, PROBLEM SLEEPING,AND DURING THE DAY ALSO PAIN...
Hello 🤗 8
I was told my hip pain was due to bursitis but I was given the same exercise as the first one and it helped a lot so I'm looking forward to start practicing the others also.
I was told Bursitis too. I am going to try this exercise. Found this scrolling here.
Same here..
Noone told me about these exercises though - I got cortisone injections and radiation therapy - cortisone was hell and useless, radiation helped - But these exercises are GOLD for me 🌟
@@333-u9o So glad to help! I've never heard of radiation to treat hip pain, and I hope that's last you ever feel the need for it!
How r u now did u recover from hip bursitis ?
@@333-u9o did you heal from bursitis ?
Because of long covid I lay down a lot and because of PEM I can not exercise too much. But because of the pain I will just start with 1 time both sides and see how I can work this out 😃
When doing the first exercise it was my inner thigh that felt sore doing it, not raising the other leg. Stretching helps me a lot.
I've had to exercise my hips from lying on my side for years. You're putting all your body weight on your hip. My inner thighs were in bad shape. I do exercises in bed when I wake up so I will be sure to do them. I just learned some extra exercises to do. Thank you for your video.
Wow how could you know I’m suffering from these. I am following you and all your exercise and all give me good results.
Thank you so much.
You are just like a angels
I have just found out I have arthritis in my hips
So I find this very interesting . I can't sleep in my bed but sleep on my couch. It seems so much better . So watching anything that will help ease the pain . I take note of
Life safer. I wake up a lot through the night, switching positions because of the hip pain. Thank you!!
Excellent! It's demonstrattions like the one you did here are what saves people from getting into drug therapies and hip replacements. Thank You!
I have hip issues from scoliosis that are exasperated by weak hips but mostly I’ve heard just to stretch the front of the hip since I sit a lot, which isn’t very helpful for a femur that pops in and out of the socket. THIS looks promising.
I don’t expect a miracle, my spine’s not straight lol but adding strength to the muscles around the hip will likely decrease the popping and discomfort. Thank you💕
Yup! Let us know how it goes!
And check out the Schroth Method. Really fascinating and promising stuff for scoliosis.
Just came across this video. I’m. Going to try these exercises. Prayerfully they will help me with the hip pain I’ve been having. A visit to an orthopedic specialist was a total waste. My impression from the doctor was my case was not severe enough for injections and surgery, so I was offered no other options.
It’s important to note if you can’t stabilize your core (long term i developed a anterior pelvic tilt from weak lower abs) that’s the first thing you need to address- you’re not going to be able to fully stabilize/perform with proper form for most exercises until you strengthen your core.
Pelvic tilts are associated with hip impingements- that’s because they both indicate an imbalance of your lower back, ab, and hip (even down to your legs) muscles. So it’s important to go to a PT first. These exercises may help you until you can see one- but if you have access- please go! I tried seeing a personal trainer first but just ended up hurting my IT band (1-2month long rest required for that btw). A good PT will be able to help you know which issues to first address- or issues you never even spotted yourself.
I can do push ups, and I can even weight lift- but I haven’t been doing these things with a fully stabilized core leading to countless injuries. Just because you can- doesn’t mean you should. And I really thought and even looked like I had good form too. Now I’m back at the basics and swimming until my knee heals along with other imbalances fixed.
