  1. Listen‼️ I’ve been watching videos for a month as well as stretching and no real progress until now‼️‼️. This is the shortest video that has been the most beneficial. THANK YOU‼️😍 I don’t have money for PT and this is just what I needed. I haven’t had mobility in my hips in 7 years but now I do in minutes! ❤🎉

  2. Thank you SO much! I have had this problem for awhile & I always said my right hip felt like it had a bone stopping it in certain moves as you showed here. Now I tried these things & yes exactly! Just repositioning already showed big improvement & now I will do your other exercises on this too! Thank You !!

  3. Please don't make my mistake! Thank you for bringing up the potential for structural bone issues / impingement / labral tears in the beginning of the video (2:38). I'm 30 and very active, and after years of having various issues with my hips, which are now causing quite a lot of pain, I've been diagnosed with femoral neck impingement and labral tears. I tried PT for 2 months at first, and when it wasn't helping they referred me to a hip specialist. Hip specialist looked at X-Rays, revealing my femoral neck deformities (sort of an excess of bumpy bone on the surface which can lead to contact with the acetabular rim during certain ranges of motion), and then MRIs which show the tears in both my acetabular labrums, worse on the left which is the more symptomatic. I would urge anyone feeling sharp pain deep in their hips to see a PT, and in the meantime don't push it with extreme range of motion stretching, as you might be causing further damage to a pre-existing tear; I think this is how mine got so bad, to the point where I've now been recommended for hip arthroscopy surgery to remedy my issues. Best of luck to all, may you be the spitting image of health and fitness!

  4. This just blew my mind. I had a knee surgery almost 15 years ago and had to stay locked straight legged & non weight bearing for 9 weeks after to protect cartilage implants. My knee was fixed but my hip was so tight I could only dream of external rotation. As happy as it makes me feel to see this video, I'm also so angry that my physical therapist never did anything like this. I've been suffering for years with this issue and learned more in this 15 min. video about my problem than I have in almost 15 years from my PT. Shame on me for not finding this sooner, but shame on my PT's for not helping. Jeff, you're the best and I'll always be grateful for your help with this painful issue. Thank you.

  5. This is one of the most comprehensive vids on the likely suspects of hip tightness and pain. The degree, causes and treatments of hip disfunction are wide ranging. Proper assessment is critical. I’ve been doing orthopedic/sports bodywork for 17 yrs and have worked with the highest levels of professional and amateur athletes. This video is a great in depth intro. 🤙🏼

  6. Jeff is an absolute hero. I do some of his exercises as I had sciatic and lower back pain, shoulder and neck pain and now I suffer from a tight hip. I know in a few days I am fine again as his tips are simply the best advise. Thank you for going so into detail and depth about issues may cause the pain. Awesome!! Best in the world!

  7. I have tenderness and pain in the posterior aspect of my pubic rami. I am concerned this is a piriformis muscle issue, but not sure when I would have injured it. I have started running a lot the past couple months. Thoughts?
