Omg... I'm in my 30's and my hips, mostly the right one, have been killing me for the last couple of years. It radiates down my legs into my feet. I just did this stretch on both sides, twice. I got up and it didn't hurt at all. I haven't been able to go from sitting to standing in almost 3 years without my hips and legs hurting. This is incredible!!! Thank you!!!!
Are you seriously.
Sounds exactly like sciatica which sucks ++ So glad to hear you got relief.
yeah same even my right hip is killing me
Yeah I’m around your age a bit younger this past year or more I’ve had this dull chronic pain at the joint of my hip more prominent at the side.
I had a coworker tell me I was limping and that I needed more comfortable shoes. I wear vans for the nom slip grip with insoles and loosen the laces for my arches, so vans don't really bother me. BUT, two days before we had inventory night and I was crouching and twisting during scanning products a lot. I realized it wasn't my feet that was making me limp but inner thigh pain from the other day, maybe pulling a muscle that made my gait wonky. So this exercise I hope helps a lot relieve tightness because I bet my quads were working hard during the crouching, but weak inner thighs got really tight.
I’m in tears right now because I never thought I’d find relief after so many months of this pain. I tried different shoes, massages, hip/back stretches, exercise. This helped me in 90 seconds. THANK YOU.
Can I do it after total hip arthoplasty surgery
This is seriously life changing. I've been struggling with my left hip for months and it's been getting worse. But 90 seconds of this completely released most of the tightness.
Shortening the muscle, holding then slowly releasing is pandiculation. It's the opposite of stretching. It also resets the brain to remember the normal state of the hip flexor, or any muscle you want to target. It really works.
It absolutely does. This is why I practice Hanna Somatics which uses pandiculations. Bob and Brad really need to look into it.
But did this work
Interesting, btw would you be stretching the glute muscles in this position?
Actually you can feel some stretches in there. I’ve been doing this for almost 8 years.
Will Read up on that, interesting.
I could seriously cry. Months of pain. Months of disrupted sleep. Finally. RELIEF. Thank you both!!! You really are the best!
Bless whoever reads this. So many are in pain, you are not alone.
These two! What a hoot. Wholesome and delightful. I would seriously watch these guys even if I didn’t need PT advice.
I was a massage therapist from 2000-2006. This brings me back to the good old days of loosening up or strengthening hips/core/pelvic floor. I have been needing this.
I came across this video about a month ago and, as a lady of a certain age who has been struggling with hip tightness and pain, decided to give this a try. Well…let me just say, this has changed my life! Each and every morning, as soon as I wake up, I do this with each leg, then I do your recommended ankle on the opposite knee stretching, and let me tell you…this ABSOLUTELY has given me 95% relief of my hip issues! Thank you guys, from my heart ❤️
I just did this, it works great! Pain is much reduced and the hip is more relaxed. Thanks so much Bob and Brad.
I want to cry from joy, I’ve had this issue for 5 years now and nobody could figure out what I was talking about. Once I lay down after work, I cannot get back up from the extreme pain. I did this and stood with no problem afterwards. Thank you guys
Brilliant and thank you both. I’m still recovering from a car crash from 3 years ago. This is the answer and I’m very grateful. 🙏
My chiropractor told me to pull my knee to the opposite shoulder. That hurt! I am so glad you said "FIND THE MOST COMFORTABLE POSITION POSSIBLE."
What's wild, especially after reading some of the comments, is how varying the relief from this one stretch can be. I am a trainer and I've had persistent hip pain despite my overall flexibility and range of motion, not only did this relieve my tension, it helped me poop!😄 (hadn't realized some of my constipation comes from muscle tightness )
I came upon this video looking for anything that would help relieve the hip pain that has been keeping me awake at night for almost a year now. I tried this and I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE IT HAS MADE!!! I think I will be able to finally get some sleep tonight. Thank you both so so so much!!!!
I’m a nail tech so I’m sitting ALL day and my lower back and hips have been KILLING me the past week or so and I’ve tried everything I could think of but nothing helped, I couldn’t even bend down to pour my dog some food. Just did this stretch on both sides and a light back stretch after and it popped twice and it feels SO much better now. I was simply laying on my bed doing nothing, in lots of pain, and now I’m laying the same way and feel nothing 🥹💕
5 years ago I broke the transverse processors on L2 - L4 on the LEFT side only. While I did not need surgery, the muscle issues it has caused in my entire body have been unimaginable.
It compensated exactly the way our bodies are designed to do. I look normal but I’m weak and in pain. Though I “look” normal, my body could no longer function the way it was.
I needed professional help and was ready for it. (Huge difference!)
3 months ago I started 2x/wk with a new PT. Lots of dry needling and re-educating just about every single muscle in my body. It has absolutely changed my life!
If you are in pain, never ever give up on looking for and finding relief!!!
Thank you for sharing your time and messages with the world guys!! This is great stuff. 🤩👍
I was stuck in bed 2+ weeks with the flu. Lost all my flexibility. I'm back to my daily walks and hurting!! Stretching is key!LOVE my foam roller and Aleve!😉 It's going to take time to rebuild all I lost.☹But blessed that I can.🥰
Just tried this on my left hip flexor that’s been tight for at least a week now. Immediate relief within the 90 seconds! In awe at how effect it is 🙏🏼
A million thank yous! I'm an active 60+ woman, playing tennis 3-5x/week. I try to pay a little more attention to stretching my hip flexors before playing but maybe not attention after playing, and then going right into the office and sitting for too long. I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of the hip area (side & front) pain for 6+ weeks and decided to stop all activity for 2 weeks to give it some rest. The pain didn't bother me while I was on court, though. It was everything else I did--sitting, walking, sleeping. Did this move last night and it immediately relaxed and felt like blood was getting into the area again. Woke up this morning and most of the pain was gone! And, your comment that stretching might be irritating the muscle and making it worse? Yep. I would agree--for me, anyway. Especially on the outside of the hip. This morning, almost pain-free! Thanks for sharing, guys! Relief!
Wow! I gotta try TODAY!
Thank you! You are angels ... I've been almost immobilized with increasing pain for months. Now after a month of doing this exercise twice a day, I can take my evening two mile walk pain free. Yesterday walking home, smelling the evening air and looking for my favorite stars, I was ecstatic!
And two years ago, your exercise for plantar fasciitis also came to my rescue! 👍🙏
They're really great guys and a lot of help❣🙏🏻✌
Was seeing a therapist for MONTHS for terrible knee tightness and referred pain. At it's worst I couldn't walk for more than 10 minutes before a flareup. This literally fixed it. This stretch was a game changer. Thank you for this video.
Did you have trouble pain and weakness walking up stairs too,
My PT taught me this years ago along with a couple of other exercises and it’s all that works. I’m now taking restorative yoga which is holding long stretches (no hands and knees just on the floor) and that helps too.
I’m my goodness. This has absolutely been one of the best stretches ever for this. Have actually been able to sleep at night and walking around is so much better
These guys helped me through my roughest time.... My local Dr's were not guiding me properly.these guys helped me alot with my herniated disc
Same...I learn more from this page than I ever did from my PT...
They are the best😃
I have been seeing my physio for a couple of months and have had no relief at all even though I’m doing all my stretches and strengthening exercises plus walking half an hour to forty minutes every other day and doing gentle yoga once a week. Hoping they can help me with my tight hip flexors and thigh muscles.
@@vicstar62 you will.... ❤️
I was so glad to see this! I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome so a lot of stretches & exercise is too tired to do regularly. I’m always excited to find things I can do laying down (I won’t get into the science of why it makes things easier in terms of blood pressure/cardiac issues). Thanks!!
GUYS! This worked. It WORKED! Thank you. I will do this regularly until my back pain dissipates.
fell off my electric skateboard commuting to work, my hip had felt so tight for months on end. This stretch feels like it's peeling back time and giving me back much immediate mobility. Thank you!
I fell off my skateboard too, did you land on your hip too?
Lmfao
I always tell my patients first to relieve the tension muscle by relaxing it or shorten it, this thoroughly reduced the strain built on that specific muscle. You guys are really great ty.
I found instant relief by doing this release method! I am 63 years old and do heavy squats. Thanks guys from the bottom of my heart! Kurt
I can't believe how much this just worked! I have had almost constant,movement limiting hip pain since being pregnant with my 3 year old. When i do stretches it absolutely feels like it is stretching but i dont necessarily feel any better afterwards. I have just stood up from doing this on both sides and i feel so much better, looser and more mobile. Thank you! I will now being doing this everyday
After spending a fortune over several years on physiotherapists, I tried this exercise and it has transformed my life. No more back pain and my legs are so much looser when I walk. Before they were restricted by my tight hip flexes and this has made the world of difference. Thank you so much.
Did you have any trouble pain weakness walking up stairs
@@lashondahursey6116 No fortunately I didn’t. Going downstairs was worse than climbing upstairs.
I know the hips effect the legs. My trouble comes from my lower back. Nothing from the hips down feels good anymore or even 'alright'. I have spinal stenosis. I think it's from injuries when I was a child. So happy to have discovered you two! Thanks for all you do. XOXOXO!
I'm 18 and i was attending to a lot of doctors through this 1 year and none of them did slightly help with my pain, the mri and pictures showed nothing and they couldn't say anything, but this exercise really helped me a lot with my pain, a relief after several month of waking up in the middle of the night because of pain, this simple 10 minutes did a lot more than one year of going to different doctors, nothing helps you more than exercising
You gentlemen are my heroes. Thank you so much for this video - it has fixed my hips, and got me back up and running. I can't thank you enough!
This is the most pain free I’ve been in a while, I wish I would have seen this sooner
I can’t believe how much you guys have helped me over the last couple years. And how much money you’ve saved me from not needing a PT (don’t worry I’d see one if I had anything severe enough that I couldn’t treat with your exercises!)
I’m almost in tears! I could barely walk and couldn’t sleep because of this searing pain. It’s gone!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this. Had pain from hip flexor from running for the past month. After doing this I went from limping to walking normally with hardly any pain! Amazing!! Can’t thank you enough 👍👍👍 hopefully back to running normally now. Hope you had a great Xmas and happy new year... from the UK 😁
A HUGE, HUGE thank you Bob and Brad!! I couldn’t even lift my knees to put socks in without a terrible pinching pain. This is an amazing stretch/technique that worked for me!
Same. Feel better.
You guys have always been more helpful than any doctor I’ve visited, thanks for all you do!
Omg I woke up my left hip flexor was completely locked and I was limping. My leg feels so numb. But I just did this and I instantly felt relief. I’m 29 and used to be very active. I never had that type of locking pain ever. Thank you so much still very tight but I can already tell this is helping. Going to do it again tomorrow thank you so much
I don’t have any social media just out of personal preference but motivated by a safety need. So when I got to the Bob and Brad Instagram I love everything I saw so I wish I could leave comments as I go along. Also, I unfortunately missed out on the entries related to Twitter. Regardless I’m appreciative of the opportunity I have with the entries I got. It is so cool. Thank you Bob and Brad!
Bob & Bread 🍞 the two most famous physical therapists on the internet 🎶🎶
😂😂😂😂 not bread
Bob and toast lol
Bob & Brad, the two most famous, physical therapists on the internet. The best too. By far!
OMG! I have been suffering for so long. PT for 6 months. I feel like my hip has gotten worse. With this one move, i felt immediately better! I want to cry! I am so relieved. I will continue to do it several times a day in hopes that my pain does not return! thank you.
That worked!!!! Amazing!!!! My left hip has been giving me grief for several years, and I just did this stretch, instant relief! Thank you!
Wow this really worked. Had hip pain waking me at night. Tried this, and didn't even do it for 90 seconds the first time and it still no pain.
Wow, I've been dealing with pain in my hip flexor for a few months. I did this just now...wow, it feels great. Like it feels so loose now. Thank you guys, I'm gonna do this every night now!
I have done this only 3 times and the most amazing thing has happened, totally unexpected! I have Baker's cysts being both knees, quite large and firm, tonight I noticed that they are practically gone! It has to be from unblocking my hip flexors! In addition my movement is much better, I feel like I'm walking standing straighter, I will keep this up. Thanks for your help.
Blew mine out doing a high kick and started doing this naturally as it was the only way to get relief. Took six months total to be able to be pain free and healed. Now it’s another three months of stretching and strength training to get back to where I was but ...
without the weakness that caused it in the first place.
Okay I just did this in my bed alongside you guys and I think it worked! I’ve been doing intense yoga daily, sometimes twice daily, for months trying to work out the iliopsoas and hip flexor tightness that’s been going on. So surprised to hear stretching may be the wrong move for this but no wonder it’s not getting better if this is true! I’m going to keep at it and see how it goes practicing this daily. You guys cured my tennis elbow with the QOD cross-fiber massage so I’m a believer! 😁
Thanks for mentioning the tennis elbow! Now I can search for it.
“It’s lie Brad.” My mom the English teacher is somewhere applauding you Bob. 😂
Lol I caught that
Thank you! I just finished doing this for the first time. I'm lying here relaxing and the pain has lessened. I'm looking forward to doing it again in the morning. This pain has been terrible for months.
Thanks guys. Every time someone complains of a pain I tell them to look you up. All the best from Canada
omg.... 🤯 I can't believe the instant relief I got from such a simple gentle stretch!!! thank you so much!
These guys have helped me with stress relief and injuries thru the past few years.....im so thankful for them💙
asn
You two gents may have just saved my life. I love you for this.
I have been following y’all for a few years now due Severe back pain that was revealed to be herniated disc which wasn’t herniated wasn’t the problem when the L5 vertebrae slipped and contracted my spinal cord by 70% I was virtually dealing with paralysis. My fantastic chiropractor sent me in for an MRI and that’s how we found it Ethan referred me to marvelous surgeon I didn’t have surgery. Lots of leg pain hamstrings hip flexors hamstrings and calves etc. I now have not on my Achilles’ heel due to tendinitis. This is non-stretch has made a huge difference in my physical therapy in just 2 days!!!
This happened to my daughter in a soccer game, the coach used this technique on the side of the field and she was able to play the rest of the game within 10 minutes... I always wondered exactly what he had done - thanks for sharing!!!!!!
Lol, these guys. They remind me of the old Car Talk show ("America's Funniest Car Mechanics") on NPR.
Click and Clack
@@jachammer9138 Yes! Forgot the show name, thanks. :)
You are right
I knew I liked them for a good reason!! So true!!
Really miss the car talk guys show, so very entertaining and informative just like Bob and Brad. Maybe that's why these guys make it so much fun to watch while learning.
Have been suffering this pain in the left hip for 5 years now since I have polio in my left leg. Hopefully this will help me. Thanks a ton for the detailed demonstration.
I remember when I was a teenager having really sore hip flexors from hockey. My shower had a tub and I remember having to physically pick up my leg to get it over the tub… I’m in my 20s now and started playing hockey again. My hip flexor stiffness started to come back and it would flare up when I work out abs at the gym. This stretch feels like I just reset my hip flexors! Thank you!
The ‘Ernie and Bert’ of physios! Great work guys, very helpful and entertaining too! 👍🏻
Couldn't said it better 😂
That's what I think!😊💕🇺🇸
True!
I was JUST thinking that, looking at them, lol!
that's me tryn I’m afraid I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Just did this before a workout and it worked wonders! I felt the difference immediately!
I don't believe this - I was convinced I had cancer and would have to have my left hip and leg amputated! My lower back pain is a lot easier as well. I think you guys should have a medal each. Many thanks indeed.
Seriously....when are the two of you going to write a book on all your advice and techniques???? You helped my shoulder pain and now my hips!! Thank you😘
Bob and Brad.....I want to thank you AGAIN for your great vids! I've got my Dad
watching you and learning more and exercising more! Since he can't go to the YMCA (thanks, Covid) it is GREAT that we can do your exercises at home! :-)
Thanks Bob & Brad 🙏 ‘Bert & Ernie’’ B1 & B2’ hehe 💙 I think u guys have a better relationship than a lot of couples haha have u guys ever argued? It’s great to see such harmony & respect u guys have for each other makes watching very smooth sailing 🤩👌
Thank you guys. It worked for me. I had the tight hips with consistent lower back pain . Had no idea the hips and back were connected. Thank you
Thank you Bob and Brad! This is amazing!!! Perfect for after a run, no more pain! You guys are the best!!!
These guys are awesome! They talk about blood flow and shortening the muscle, my physical therapist never says anything About that.
Wow! So simple, yet so effective! Thanks you guys for all of your fun, informative and helpful videos! I watch you regularly - because what you suggests, works!!!
I am in LOVE with this channel! I’m a dancer and these videos have helped me with so much pain, sincerely just thank you!
Actually did something, my feet got warm. And it feels more relaxed in the flexors. Thanks! Earned a subscribe!
I have fibromyalgia and this helps a LOAD with my hip pain. Thank you!
I felt wonderful after trying this, as facing alot of pain in my hip joints as well spasm in my legs. Thanks guys 👍
This is, imho, absolutely the best PT YT videos, bar none! Thank you, Bob and Brad!
Thank you! My right hip is very tight along the outside. I feel like I twist to that side because of it. I’ve tried yoga and different stretches nothing helped. This helped a lot!! I’m going to do it everyday for a while and see if it will continue to loosen up. 👍
I appreciate what y'all do. I just got started doing something similar to help people feel better!
Wow. I’m 16 and super active. I was having real bad hip flexor pain. It hurt to walk and run. I did this stretch and it felt way better immediately after. Thanks guys👍🏾. My hip still hurts but way less I can sprit and jog now
you seem to have mistunderstood. this is not a stretch, on the contrary it's compressing/ shortening the muscle and thus relieves tension.
during a stretch the muscle is lenthened and under tension.
fabulous stretch guys - really loosened up my hips
Gonna try it!! My hip flexors have been acting up since I hurt my hip/leg working out a few months ago. I'll add it to my morning bed stretches.
Thanks for this!
I am struggling with right hip pain for way too long!
I know that the hip flexor is part of the problem, I’m going to try this!
It helps me understand why laying on my back causes so much pain in the groin area!
Also, why lifting my leg to put on socks is agonizing 🥵🙏🤗💜
Informational & comical, we love the way you two present your wonderful knowledge!!
Omg, I've been getting pain in the groin area which has been getting progressively worse with exercise with every passing week. 3 weeks off and still the same but this has really helped
This was great! I have had hip pain for months & was trying to find a simple exercise to help. I did this one move & it relieved my pain almost instantly! I am definitely going to keep exercising & will try more later. Thanks!
Love the exercise....but I LOVE the fact that Bob corrected Brad's use of the word "lay" (down)
Bob is correct, the word is "lie" down!!!
Yea!!!.....almost everyone uses the incorrect word
---The Grammar Police
Americans make this mistake but much less so with the Brits and other English speakers. Actually, even non-English speakers use it correctly because they actually study grammar. Americans also don’t use past perfect tenses like have swum and have drunk. I notice that Americans are triggered to anger when their English is being corrected. It’s like they do not want to improve and prefer to be mediocre and sloppy. I speak multiple languages and it’s not the case for people speaking in other languages, where they appreciate being corrected and want to strive for excellence.
Yes! Bob obviously had a great English teacher in 7’th grade, where they usually hammer grammar into you! A true blessing!
I really appreciate Bob and Brad's attention to using 'lie/lay'. They set a great example for being open to learning and changing.
How about the 99% who use ' scared ', a noun, in place of ' afraid ', an adjective.
@@roncadorette9907 Scared is an adjective.
I need this! THANKS 😊 My right hip has been so tight and surrounding muscles in lower back/glutes....I'm trying this 💪
For the past week my right hip flexor has been annoying me with this nagging soreness. It's something that has bothered me on and off (thank God mostly off) for a while now. I Just did this, and I absolutely mind blown at the fact that it really worked!!! Like immediately 😲. I swear this will be my go to move from now on for the rest Of my life anytime I feel that pain in my hip. I did have to rotate my heal in towards my knee to find my most comfortable position, but true to the video 90 seconds later I felt absolutely no pain! Amazing!!
Love this. I’m looking for relief and I can’t wait to see my results. Thanks.
I'm definitely trying this, thanks guys 💙
Wow amazing! In bed with a tight and painful right hip flexor and it got released! So impressed!
thanks guys. I have been dealing with cramp/pain exactly where demonstrated. i thought it might be my bladder or arthritis or something. i tried the flexor exercise and could feel it was addressing exactly where this discomfort was. i'll continue with the stretch daily to see if there is improvement. thanks again.
I had a pa assignment hit that hip flexor when I was getting pt for thr. It was instant relief. Everyone else in the clinic tried, but he was the only one to find it.
Been sitting a lot since I work from home & boy has my hip flexors been flaring up lately. It’s even gone into the hamstrings via a sharp pain that comes and goes. I’ll try these stretches w/ more walking.
Starts at 4:59 - thanks B and B for your knowledge. Sending peace, love and light your way and knowing we'll soon
get back outside enjoying the world, and talking to people like we should be. Good bye Cov19.
I like hearing them talk!
Thanks Mags c 👍
Love and Light 💗
Lol
Thank you, I am rehabilitating my lumbar and cervical herniated discs thanks to your excellent guidance. God bless you.
Glad this is showing today. I’m having a resurgence in flexor pain.
I’ve always been extremely active. I religiously stretch, foam roll, and use a professional massage gun. None help.
This stretch though! I CANNOT believe how big of a difference this simple hold made!
Female in my 30’s
The pain has been effecting my lower back.
Not anymore.
