I just happened to see one of your videos a couple of nights ago and started doing the exercises while I was watching. I seriously noticed immediate results. Watched another of your videos and added those exercises too. I cannot tell you how thankful I am to have discovered your videos. I am 55 years old and suffer from arthritis in my hips and bursitis in one. I sit at a desk most of the day and had been having considerable pain in one hip. I can't believe how much of a difference I feel already in pain and range of motion. As I realized how much it was helping me I was so happy I actually cried. I had gotten to the point that I didn't want to go out anywhere because of the pain when I walk. Thank you so much!!!!!!❤😊

Hi , thank you so so much for your video. I’ve been having hip pain at the groin for about 2 years. Sometimes worse. Did some walking , yoga , massages….all help but never completely go away. Last week, the pain was immobilizing so I went to the orthopedic dr for hip n shoulder. She said I have hip arthritis and a lil bit on shoulder @early 50 yo. She gave me celebrex for inflammation but said I will eventually need hip replacement. What you said make perfect sense. I am working on strengthening my hamstring and gluteus muscles, and while in pain, avoid lifting the legs upward toward the torso (which happens to be many poses in my yoga routine). Thanks to you I know the do’s an dont. I am a strong believer of « you are what you eat »..I love your list of anti inflammation foods. You are the answer to my prayers. You program is the most complete (from exercise to diet) for a full recovery and prevention. I can’t thank you enough. What can I do without you and youtube. May your life fills with blessings as you are to all of us. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart.

Finally I think this will be something that will help me. I am getting it because this is exactly what is happening with me. Although I have a fused lower spine, and a broken coccyx. Groin pain and glute pain, a new knee and tight psoras. Most exercises are so difficult, this is starting so beautifully and will not hurt me. I am 80 in two,weeks and want to get moving with less pain and stay independent.

Finally an explanation for my tight, irritated quads! Very helpful video!!

Dr. Alyssa, I can't get enough of your knowledge and expertise. I was going to write to you for help regarding this area. Taking off with my left leg and hip has caused me so much pain from sitting at work for the last three years. I stumbled by chance and found this video this morning. I am in tears as the blood is flowing in these weak areas. Thank you once again! I need to send you a donation because you are God sent. Finally, I'm feeling like my body is healing. ❤️❤️❤️

Finally an explanation of how and why my hip has been feeling the way it is. I will try these moves and see what happens. 🤞🏻 Thank you Dr. Alyssa. 😀

At last someone who not only understands but also CARES. There are some ridic vids on line that increases pain. I m ONLY watching u now. Thank you ❤

Thank you! Thank you! I have been fighting this for 2 years-sometimes worse than other times but seems I can’t totally get rid of the inflammation. I’ve made a little head way-hoping these exercises get me back to walking and stairs with less pain and a more normal gait. Thank you!

U r truly amazing I'm suffering with almost everything u have been showing, especially the last 2 years,I've worked for 60 years in the nursing profession and also managing alot of lawn mowing etc on a large property,has all caught up with me,DJD,Stenosis,Etc.use a cane ,have a walker,I miss my gardening etc house work difficult plus getting in car and shopping,I'm use to being active,Don't like the way I've become Thank You for your videos!!!!!🌞🙏👍

Thank you for more fantastic ideas. Any suggestions for someone who cannot flatten their back against the wall? I can do it on the ground but not even close when standing

Just saw my first Alyssa vid. LOVE that it's so well narrated / concepts well described.

Omg finally exercises I can actually do without hurting. I have tight hip flexors, painful piriformis, possible arthritis...these actually feel good after I've done them. ❤

It took me a year to come across this video literally. The causes and consequences of APT dive so deep.

Alyssa thank you girl. Just excellent iam so bad that i trip easily like iam being pushed forward. You keep hitting the nail on the head for the exercise i need giving me hope so ill share this funny story with you. I have a good friend who is a therapist. Iam retired and my wife works. He came to see me while traveling through where i lived and heard i was having trouble. On examination he said i was really severe. And the only place he could work on me was on me and my wifes bed! And i was shocked because he had been oposite of me on the bed with his foot in my crotch relieving pressure on my hip ( which really helped). Now my wife knows him but didnt know he was there and she was at work. But as you can guess my wife came home early and found a man with his back to her in my bed pushing on my hip. OMG if you could of seen the look on my wifes face as iam a rough and tough outback guy . Priceless and iam so glad my therapist friend turned around! Hope you enjoyed this story for all the great exercises i can actually do. Thanks❤❤

You so far the only one that touched Anterior tilt as one of causes of this mass. I can never sleep on the back bz of this arch.And simple exercises ...Thank you

I am A 67 year old truck driver and have been dealing with hop pain for years but you have shown me what I've always know to be the problem and how to address it. Thank you

I'm going to give these a try. I had a sedentary job for 20 years and now am retired. I have a bone spur in my hip joint and was given the option of hip replacement. I would like to only do that as a last resort. I hope these exercises will help with my mobility so I can start walking again and lose some weight which I know will help alleviate some of the pain my joints are feeling.,

This actually works. Thank you so much!

Beautiful video Sara. Glad that you and mum went out for lunch. Mum deserves a surprise. Beautiful card appreciating mum. May God bless you abundantly and all the best with your career and studies in nursing.

I just signed up for your three day challenge… It’s supposed to have hip and knee replacement but I’m so stiff. I can’t even put my own socks on my left hip is stiff. That’s the one that needs to be replaced in my right knee. I was doing your exercises and I can’t even lift my toes up off the floor… I’m excited to get going on this. Thank you so much for all your information.❤

I can relate to this hip tension problem in an odd way - I DO sit for prolonged periods for my work, and yet when I am active (about every other day), I am intensely active - rock climbing, weight training, long distance cycling and hiking or snowshoeing - all of which result in some low back and hip tension - that's why the activities are performed every other day, as I use a day for recovery. I will definitely give these exercises a serious try - thank you, Alyssa

Hi Alyssa recently came across your videos & I'm so pleased to hear from a professional who knows exactly what to do I have been having trouble with my right hip ( I'm guessing) for a number of years as I have a lot of trouble bringing my leg up to put a sock or shoe on I need to sit or have a stool to do so & I'm only 62yrs old I walk for at least 4 to six hours shopping once or twice a week & I have a cane please help 😁👍🦘 love from Australia

So excited that I found your channel. I pledge to myself I will start tomorrow’s morning. It’s late nighttimeI cannot lift my right leg up more than 2” off the floor. Looking forward to working with your videos. Thank you so much.

Describes me exactly! I've been trying pelvic tilts & glute bridges & found them helpful. But this standing exercise will be a good addition to the repertoire - easy to do at odd moments in the day, too.

I just found this video my pain level with the front of my thigh is 20 out of 10. I have tried every thing I've come across and just tried the exercises you talked about and my pain level is down to 8 out of 10 now. Thank you thank you thank you!

I can't wait to try these. It is getting harder and harder to lift my legs to put on pants. I sit all day at the office and I have gained 40 lbs with menopause. Thank you!!!

These are amazing thank you! Ive been working on my apt its getting better but needed to strengthen my hip flexors glutes and hamstrings. These are exactly what I needed!!

Dr Alyssa, thank you so much for all your videos. I started do what you recomended and it works. Thank you so much. I am very happy to find you on youtube. Could you make a video about lumber spinal stenosis. My husband need it. He is very athletic and very discipline guy and willing to do what is nessesary. Thank you in advance. God bless you.

I can not believe how simple the rocking exercise is for hip pain relief! Jut a gentle rock while standing ! So easy and it is working for me! So much hip pain for over an and now it is getting better! Thank you so much!

Oh my goodness, this lumbar lordosis has happened to me since I’ve had hip osteoarthritis. I look like a duck now, especially when I walk. It’s so depressing and painful. Thank you for this amazing video. ❤ I managed all the exercises but the last one, I had to stand more than one step away from the wall, and I couldn’t stop my back from arching a little when raising my arms. I found the heel raises easier but I still had to bend forward in order to maintain contact with the wall.

Thank you so much for posting this! I sit at work, take a brisk 50-55 minute walk every day at lunch and hit the gym after work. What can go wrong? Apparently, hip flexor issues - and back and forth transitioning to lower back as well. I thought my activity beyond sitting was sufficient for prevention but the two modes are at odds for sure. These exercises you demonstrated look like a great transition and warmup from sitting to activity mode. Subscribed!

You just described the last 3 years of my life. Covid sitting around all day night mare.

So glad I found your channel! I am 6 months post THR and awaiting 2nd THR early 2024. 59 y/o 🥰🇨🇦

2:45 exercises start (for easy access later 😉❤) THANKYOU!!

Hi. I will try these because the pain and areas you describe are exactly what I have. Also, are you saying this is caused by arthritis? Only arthritis? Also, I can't cross my legs. Very poor hip mobility. Will these exercises help? Thanks.

Good info! Tying to walk with balance can be a chore, the last 3 yrs! A very firm mattress is needed.

Post-op (hip replacement) here by one week and wondering if these exercises are conducive for my situation? Feel overall pretty good after op but everything you pointed out here in this video is what's still affecting me and your exercises seem worthwhile and would like to move forward with them. All the best from Sweden🙂

Thank you Dr Alyssa... Much gratitude...😊

Alyssa thank thank thank you I’m going to try this , this is the problem I have most. Had a brain tumor removed 6 years ago and weak on my left side. Which has caused my right side to compensate. Now my hip flexor on my right is killing me. Going to pt now but going to add these to my routine. 😊

Thank you!

thank you for the tight hip flexor exercises. When I engage my core, and flatten the back arch, I can move my leg with less pain.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Youre great Alyssa ! TY

thank you for your exercises!!

I am in hip pain all day and all night. If I get down on the floor, I will never get back up. What else can I do? Thank you so much for making this video.

I have been searching for the type of movements you are sharing. Thank you! The thing I appreciate about your movements is the fact that I feel very little pain. I am praying and hoping these will fix my hips! I do have one question: what if your hips are popping when walking? Do you have a movement for that?

These look promising I get a lot of flexor tightness and want to get back to hiking so will try these.

Thank you again! I’m going to start those now

Great information.... really enjoy the video...the only thing improve if possible is for close ups of the actions. Thank you and have fun.

looking forward to the outcome so gratefu;l for this info!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge…All the best.

Hey Doc whats the best weight lifting excercise to build muscle for torn right hip labrum to less pain & increase stability?I dont want to go thru todays hell of hospital bills,no communication,trust of a DR..

Thank you for this video. Which mat is better to use as due to an injury I have not had much mobility within the last year, only Physical Therapy twice a week for the last 5 weeks and I have front hip, pelvic stiffness along with SI joint stiffness. I’m also over 60 and hoping these exercises will strengthen and help.

You’re good girl. I have high hopes I will be able to manage my pain always present in m hip flexors.

Thanks for the information. Currently dealing with front hip/groin area strain, on and off for about a year, which has affected my running or ability to enjoy sports. What model of sneakers are you wearing? They look like a lower drop, with less stack height than what is common for most running shoes.

Thank you so much Alyssa. I am starting already these exercises. Could you talk about the use of the pelvic belt? My problem I also unaligned pelvic bone. Thank you so much

My hip bone is crack at joint due to arthritis and limping now, kindly advise

This video is very good and it has starches to ease my pain thank you so much for your help

Thank you 🙏

Pls, dr Allysa, teach about the exercises for the shoulder and hands

Appreciate this, thank you!!

Thank you so much I experienced a tightness in the front of my right hip because of my tilted pelvis your videos are great and he's are quite new exercises to me thank you so much if you could show me any kind of exercises for duck feet and severe pronation that would help my walking tremendously I really need help but your videos are great great things for everyday life thank you thank you

Thank you for the video! My pain, which came out of the blue, while I was sleeping, five days ago, sounds similar to what you are talking about, but I cannot stand up straight. That, specifically, is what causes the pain in the front/inside of my right thigh. I feel zero pain while sitting. If I walk hunched over, and only move my legs, no hip movement, it does not hurt. It's a real drag, and looks quite strange. I'm 56, but, suddenly, feel, I imagine, what 86 may feel like. The inside of my upper right thigh, toward the groin, is where I feel the pain, whenever I try to line up my torso with my legs, in a straight line. Any ideas? In the meantime, I'll see if I can do the moves you showed here. I'm anticipating not being able to do them, as they all seem to require the initial straightening, which is what hurts me the most.

Wow. My hips are very stiff and crunchy. I tried the wall exercise and am surprised I can't lean the small of my back to the wall. I guess I'll start with that! Hips seemed to like the movement. 👍😊

I have OA in my spine but quite advanced degeneration in L5 S1 will these help me? I get a lot of hip stiffness and lower back pain. I have just subscribed to this channel 😊

Thanks for your comments

Muchas gracias están muy buenos los ejercicios y son lo que buscaba

This makes so much sense. I am going to be doing these daily for sure. Is this why foam rolling my quads helps?

thank you Alyssa!

Pls show the side view..so we can have clarity how to touch our back to wall and movement of back

Is it still effective if I have to place feet farther than 1 step from the wall to achieve getting my low back in contact with the wall when tilting my hips? Love your coaching!

Do you recommend these hip flexor exercises if you have bone on bone hip arthritis or will it just irritate that condition? Thank you.

Hi Alyssa I cannot pickup the things from the floor. Is there an exercise for that. Thanks 🙏

Hey Alyssa, thanks for the videos. One question, when you say one step away from the wall, how far is that approximately?

Thank You AGAIN 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️

Is these excercises are helpful after the coredecompression that is AVN in hips

Thank you

Thank you for your video, siting for a long time driving a semi truck deed this to me I’m so not happy about this I have been trying for two years to do better on my hips pain and is a very slow process I’m even trying the ice bath to reduce inflammation I’m not a lazy person so many people are saying you look good but my pain is not visible Any help? Ty

Many thanks!

Pl make video for one side back pain of long muscle

Post-stroke rT~hak you, Dr. Kuhn!! 👍👍👍

Just perfect👌❤

Thanks!

I have front hip pain right side aggravated by tennis my passion. Should I try to play tennis with a neutral or posteriior pelvic tilt ? I had hip x ray, did not show a labral tear, did say degeneratve changes, but did not see bone on bone and sometimes I play with no pain which wouldnt happen with bone on bone hip pain. I do have osteoarthritis in other places, 60 years old active male.

I have an upcoming four week sea Kayak trip… sitting and pulling power while my legs are out in front of me… my hip flexors spasm. Is there an exercise I can do while sitting in the Kayak to relieve the stress from time to time?

I injured myself from a slip and near fall, I felt like I got a whole body whiplash, pain especially in my left groin with a lot of pain in the front , could you please tell me if I should be doing these types of exercises or do I need rest, it hurts to sleep, please and thank you for your comment

Thanks

should you head stay against the wall? mine really wants to come forward

My left side in front of my left hip is where it hurts...but its sorta of a dull ache not sharp pains...but i do sit too much and that doesn't help ...thanks so much tho

Can you show the lean back to the wall from the side? You said to top your hip back but don’t you tip your hips forward to lean back on the wall? Thank you

I need more of dis pls

My other issue is DVT. I have a collusive DVT on that left side. Yeah I have no blood flow. That’s why I have to sit or recline more than probably the average person because if I don’t, I have massive swelling in my ankle and foot. And this sciatica issue has caused so much swelling and my therapist said yeah that’s common. Well, then I’m going to recline or I’m going to sit which then just causes a whole Nother set of problems.

Ohhhhh! This immediately made sense.

Thanks ❤

What’s the cause of a sudden sharp pain in my thighs and legs?

Ive developed hip arthritis secondary to tearing a tendon/muscle 10 years ago, linking my sartorious muscle to my spine. This has left me unable to straighten my back and my left leg at the same time. My right hip has no problem. My left pelvis is tilted. Any exercises for this?

The best!

I have three bulging discs in the lumbar area which creates a stiffness in my back and legs. Even when walking, my legs will begin to tighten. Are there exercises that address this problem? Thanks

I have lots of pain at the front, I had a go at the wall stance . However I cannot get my lower back to touch the wall without leaning forward ! I did not try the floor section , but will when I have a little more time.

Are these safe to do while recovering from a herniated lower disk? I am in hip pain and back pain
