Oh shit... that perfectly recreates my compensations. I feel the increased tension, and a locking of movement, then my hips begin to rotate towards my left and also forwards. This causes my foot to excesively pronate and my knee to twist and cave in. The thing is, what methology of walking would be the least stressfull on my body? I seem to naturally transition between different gaits with different compensation, obviously none feel correct and all have thrir downsides, but which would be the most ideal? For added info, i currently have a pelvis xray with signs of cam impingement and acetabular retroversion. My left hip moves well, it just gets stress related pain and probably some soft tissue damage due to impingement. My right side however seems heavily retroverted. If i lie on my back, my hips will rotate all the way around to the left tonthe point theres little right glute contact with the surface yet the leg will rest at least 30 degrees from neutral. Or a 10 degree incline from the outer foot being entirely flat on the surface. It also feels like the leg pulls away from the body as if the body is trying to pull down and left across the body and the leg wants to go out and away from the body. It also kind of feels like the femur actually rests on the surface pushing into it, whilst the hip pushes up and away. Activating the right abductors increases this sensation and it feels like im trying to push my right inner groin out in front of my body.

worked for me!

Would the hip pain program - strengthening the glutes - help me to improve lateral leg movements and tightness in the front of thighs? I thought this was all a part of OA. That is where my walking pain is felt and occasionally in the mid back.

Awesome! Just discovered you. Your tip on walking on the tip toes and activating the glutes just took me out of an Osteoarthritis flare up in my hips and back. Looking forward to exploring your program. Hoping you may offer suggestions on releasing the psoas muscle.

Can you give an example of what muscles or dysfunction in the leg could cause the QL to be painful? I have pain in my QL, glutes, TFL and foot pain all on my left side which I cant figure out the source. Thanks.

Another great video. Thank you so much Rick.

anybody having trouble with the volume on this video?

Thanks Rick - I had bilateral hip surgery 10 weeks ago and have been seeing my physio and doing the hip-related exercises diligently. I now understand why I'm now getting pain on my knees and feet. I waited 3-4 years to finally decide to have the surgery (not my choice but from recommendations I received being 54 and too young to have hip replacement). What I didn't realise is by waiting and putting up with the pain that I may have created a deeper problem to other parts of my body that I now need to address with my physio. Your video has helped me understand and to think of implementing a different strategy for my recovery.

Thanks Rick. Very important information.

I found you after waiting a bob & brad, who mentioned your book. I had SLAP repair +tenodesis surgery 8 years ago and have pain again. I was essentially blown off by my surgeon who said that the pain would work itself out. PT didn't help. Three years later and the pain is still there. Going to purchase your book and see if it helps!

THANK YOU- another mega piece of the puzzle to solving 25+ yrs of chronic tension headaches! :-) Subscribed and binge-watching your other videos now.

Wow, this is so helpful. This is me 100% the doctors don't fix the cause. Thank you!

Thank you, I've had years of pain. My doctor merely rx'd PT sessipns who then gave me a heal lift. My hips have always been uneven. Finally a way to actually fix the problem. Thank you so much!

Thank you for this video. I have been minorly pigeon toed since I was a child. My pediatrician thought it would fix itself with age, but I am almost 30 and lately have been experiencing hip soreness and sciatic pain after exercise. I will try these exercises!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video

Hi Rick . Are the back and hip programs similar if i have both hip and low back pain ? I already have the back program which im working thru but i still have hip. Arthritis pain. too . I’m asking if should also purchase the hip program too or is the back program sufficient for both back and hip pain?

Thanks so much for your post and honesty, I guess we're all susceptible to pain and this video showing yourself experience and dealing with lateral shift has been very helpful. Especially when you showed how standing on each leg made such a difference and also how you physically coped/managed. I have never heard of this before however for the last few months or even a year on/off i have looked at myself in the mirror and I am looking the same way. Nobody has examined me though I have seen gp and physio. But now I have a name I can use next time I see the doctor. I'm struggling with chronic pains in several places, head to toe, failed operation for ruptured right Achilles in 2008 and now waiting for a bostrum brace operation to repair torn right ankle ligaments and cartilage. I was told my pelvis is out of alignment years ago, several people including the foot osteopath surgeon said my hip needs looking at but nobody will. I have osteoporosis, osteoarthritis Raynaurds and other's, 2 gps and 1 physio recently tell me I have hypermobiity when they have looked at my right hip but I'm not sure, never been flexible, im now 58 and I believe it's to do with my gait. Do you please have an opinion to share? I'd be very grateful . I hope you recover well and look forward to viewing your other videos including the 10 functional tests programme!❤

I can't find a way to order your program.

I can only say that after doing Rick's back program for a few weeks, I already feel significantly better.

Thank you! Again!

Thank you for this video. I have been doing core strengthening every day for six months with little relief. Meloxicam for two weeks did more for me. I also am working your program for back pain. Your Somatics work just as well as anything for relieving pain I am finding.

Do you have any advice for intense pain the mid to upper quad muscle? I was having hip pain, but as that improves, the quad pain has increased.

Dr Mel Siff said that tight muscles don’t affect pelvic tilt. He said that belief was absolute nonsense

ok I forgor

Glad you are feeling better. Thanks for all you do. 😊

Great information! Thank you, Rick.

Is it because she is carrying a heavy bag on her left??

I've had spinal fusion on my lower back and have one side higher that the other . It's obvious to see . I have chronic pain and it's effecting the rest of my back to be pinched . I have nerve and spinal cord damage . X

good beginning, but you could have talk about a possible issue coming from the feet

Fantastic video, very informative. Thank you!

Pretty sure I have femoral retroversion. I can’t get my feet to ‘not’ turn outward. Best athletic shoes for women with this condition and who also have wide feet?

Hi Rick, could this also be caused by a tight QL muscle. I've had this problem for years. I think it was cause by sitting whilst holding a baby with one arm and reaching down to use a mouse. If so how can I test for this and correct it?

Possibly unrelated, but is it possible to have a knee replacement when you are unable to take narcotics during recovery? My surgeon is questioning if I still want to have it done.

Blessed to have found your page. Thank you. I have Femoral anteversion and it’s quite frustrating dealing with non ending ending knee pain and misalignment on one leg. You’re also right, I’ve stopped doing bilateral exercises because my legs are doing 2 different things. 💔

❤Holy Smokes Rick!

Rick helped me with neck pain. It was the shoulders causing it.

can you do a video on quad tendonitis pain above the knee. its really hard to find any information on this as a powerlifter.

i have quad tendonitis but i notice my knee points out and i also feel more strain doing quad based work witht he foot pointed out then a internal rotation. do you think this may be an issue for something like quad tendon

ok i have a question every now and then i get a pain in my foot (left only) that causes my foot to somewhat lock up and causes alot of pain and intense discomfort could femoral retroversion cause that pain in my foot? i noticed recently aswell ive started getting knee pain (slight knee pain) and everynow and then im getting pain in my left side of my back which is weird because both my legs are effected by the retroversion but the pain only really often effects only the one leg

Thanks as always Rick. I am trying to incorporate some of these stretches with methods using QiGong. I am also swimming as part of my routine. Trying to find balance without overdoing it on my 74 y/o broken down athlete's body is a challenge. Lol I have got to give up on push, push, push. I'll be too broken to crawl through the Pearly Gates!

I’m glad I saw this vid, doc because a lot of videos about one sided QL pain aim to target stretching/strengthening just that muscle and after going through my fair share of trials and error I have found it’s not that easy. In my case, I narrowed the left QL spasm being due to an extremely weak hamstring. It’s unable to contribute its share of stability to the pelvis, which is what explains the other muscles jumping in and locking down. Surprisingly, I’m able to feel the glute max on the side that hurts, but only feel hamstring on the non painful side. So my left leg has weak hamstring while my right has a weak glute max. I attribute this imbalance to poor posture habits over years. Great explanation.

Very informative.

Thank you for this. I have had sciatica for over 10 years in the left leg and waist. I got a standing desk to add to my main desk, so I could do a bit of standing and sitting. In the last week I noticed my sciatica has got worse, and it's also aggravating my groin area. I'm also getting sharp pains in my heel that I have not had for a while. The only change I have done is standing. And yes like you said, I can feel myself putting more pressure on one leg than the other after an hour of standing. Standing has made it worse. Your video makes sense with what is happening.

What do you recommend doing if I have retroversion on only one side?

Hello Rick! I did the test and turning my heands down is harder. Been getting pain from mousing lately. Should we type with arms on arm rest or without arm rest. I am seeing different things from different physical therapist and hand doctors.

Hey! UA-cam recommended me this video on my feed and its really good! Kudos to the work that you're doing 😊 Btw I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts out of them! but I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask for?

I use herbal tea enemas and yoga for pain relief and pain management.

This will be a great addition to my program if i can stick with it. Loved your recent book on Pain. The path you have taken is really interesting.

I’ve been looking for a good yoga programme I can trust. Reckon I’ve just found it. Thanks, Rick!

Fantastic information. Thank you, Rick!
