Its amazing how pain in the hip can shut the whole body down. Puts you in a constant sympathetic dominant state and affects your mental outlook dramatically. Been there, not good. Upright deals with the cause of the problem and modern medicine just wants to treat the symptoms. The fix is not for the lazy, you have to actively go through the process of getting the return of function to the hip. Its tough but it is the long term solution.

Thanks to this channel I have decreased my hip/back pain over the last year. My mobility has improved and I no longer fear tying my shoes.

Thanks to all of you, I, too, am on the journey to physical freedom from years of chronic pain, and commit to my practice every day. I've also been working with Mitch and have heard Troy's story through his Dose of Humanness podcast. You guys give amazing hope to those who feel trapped in their bodies. Movement is life. Thanks, Matt.

I just found your channel and I think it's gonna be a lifesaver. I've been having problems with my hip for a few months now and have been going down the Doctor/MRI/? path - A few months ago I realized if I started stretching it might help, and so started stretching without really any focus or knowledge other than just the basic stretches people do before running. Finding your hip specific stretches has been really helpful, even after just 2 weeks, and I'll keep you posted with my progress.

I went under surgery Rt hip and was told the same thing they told you and I know what you are going through, I am. Thanks for this info

Troy, so sorry you had to go through all that. Must have been so scary. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

You guys have been doing excellent job. I am from India and very motivated by seeing your videos ! Thank you so much

Needed this i had same hip surgery 1 year ago and back in worse pain again

Many thanks for this great sharing :)

I did the bilateral hip arthroscopies in mid December for fai and the labrum tears because my boss wanted me to get them both done so I could come back to training camp in august. Wouldn’t recommend this surgery for the faint of heart. PT every day, relearning new motions with the hips, newly shaped hips, still the clicking sensation which is just a mental battle. It’s only been 5 weeks for me personally, and yes I can walk and I’m making progress, but if it weren’t for reffing the USHL and being in the development program I wouldn’t have done the surgery, the only reason I did it is to make a run at the AHL and the NHL within the next five years, otherwise it’s not worth it.

The weak muscle / tight muscle paradigm is Interesting. Perhaps the old adage “pain is weakness leaving your body” has merit.

Wow!!, Troy journey, sounds like the mirror of mine journey I am going through, the whole interview I was like yes that is me, yes that what I felt and did and doing. Matt I have also invested in the healthy hips program 1 and 2 last year and began doing the program as well, however I stopped(I haven't stopped moving and stretching my body but I ended up experimenting my body and many theories to result I have seen positive results and also problems that keep coming and going. I have been down many avenues to point of been overwhelmed and in a dark place mentally. One question do you offer video calls for advise and support? Shane

Hi Matt I am Ann Hsu and have been told to get hip surgery but, I really don’t think I am a good candidate,so I want to try to strengthen my muscles, I am 68 yrs old and have been sedentary for a while. Can muscle strengthening help my from surgery? Thanks 🙏🏼

It would’ve been a tad bit more helpful if you all could’ve told us some of the things he did to get to where he’s at today with that being said I want to say I have bilateral hip impingement it was something I was born with like him they didn’t find it until I was about 38 I also had my first surgery in 2015 I had a second one in 2016 I’m a lot better than I was before but I still have a lot of pain… If I walk a couple miles I’m in pain when I bend over my hips hurt what the surgeon told me was my labrum was really tore up in there it look like ground beef he was unable to repair it he just had to scrape it out… they told me that I will eventually need a hip replacement more than likely I will eventually need a hip replacement I’ll wake up some days and my hips are really really tight the muscles are weak I know that because I’ve been trying to strengthen my hip and glute muscles since the first surgery

I am having g severe pain in my left side from the hop downwards, also I do have bursitis in the same left leg area.

Are you able to walk ,how do you move at work?

I’ve got hip impingement with moderate arthritis in right. It’s effecting my back as well on the right QL area. Glute bridges and core work everyday. Anything with weights irritates . Can’t see myself ever going back to normal. Seems like a hip replacement is the only way out.

Why didn’t they just do a hip replacement?

Can’t help but feel this channel is disingenuous. There’s plenty of people where FAI surgery is life changing. This bro doesn’t sound like a candidate for real.
