This guy is gangsta. I thought i had hip impingement, for about 2 years i was doing a hip impingement routine with a band before exercise - long story short, activating the glute minimus with the exercise at 04:23 cured the TFL discomfort i was experiencing INSTANTLY.
i strained my hip flexor 3 weeks ago from kicking rugby balls, hasnt really gotten better since then, but i did 2 sets of this exorcise and its felt the best it ever has, i will continue to do these untill im 100%
If you lived in England I would literally drive to your place and shake your hand. I’ve had injections, physio and acupuncture and nothing helped. 5 mins with this and instant pain relief. You are amazing. God bless.
@@KamPOV01 dint you get local sedation, how long does it take for the second does, one of my hip is in bad condition, i sug suggested for hip replacement. But i want to try this first.
Thank you so much for making this video, it really saved my life! A few years ago, I was running a lot every day and my groin started to hurt so much, I wasn't able to walk properly, even after resting for a few days. It wasn't just a lot of pain, but at times it felt like my groin just got 'locked up' and I simply couldn't move my thighs. This happened many times, often randomly, and scared me so much... I went to see some doctors and they said nothing seem to be wrong, and that I just need to let my muscles rest. I was troubled by this for a few weeks until I found this video. After doing this for 20min, all the pain went away immediately, it was unbelievable! My pain came back the next day, but I kept doing the exercise for a week and the pain truly went away. I re-watch this video from time to time, please don't ever delete this!
Thank you I was out for soccer for 3 weeks because I pulled my hip flexor. You helped me more than my school trainer. That's an automatic like and subscribe

Thank you SO MUCH for this ! I’ve been suffering from a strained hip flexor for over 3 years now, and I did this one time 4 reps, and I felt immediate relief and no pain the next day 🥲

I had a hip flexor pull for a year and three months and after doing the glute minimus exercise three sets of 15-20 reps, I cured my hip flexor pull in one session. I got up and was walking around with no pain, I could not believe it. I thought this was a click bate video but found it wasn't. I am also 52 and not 17 years old. thanks for video, amazing stuff. thanks Zach.
I need to share this. This was a miracle! I skate 5-6 days a week. I’m crazy obsessed with it. So I strained my flexor and everything I found online was telling me 6 weeks to even months! I was so upset. I can’t imagine taking that long off. Well….did this exercise and some super basic yoga stretches. And bam within 48 hours I was back. I even landed a new trick my first session back. I so am stoked. Thank you so much for this! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
YO this man right here is a savior, I delayed playing basketball and all workouts Im feeling pain at my right hip flexor, can't even walk somedays without feeling the pain. immediately after I did this exercise then I can walk without feeling lots of pain. Im so thankful for you that I can keep chase my dream, past few weeks i been stressing so much that I can't do anything eventually doubt myself. Like honestly just thank you for helping so many people with this type of problem!!!
i too have pain in my right flexor. very mild and i can still move and run, but it's there. usually i delay workouts until the pain is gone (even if i can still move well, just like to be safe then sorry), but this time i decided to do something about it because i have made some good gains in my running and wasn't willing to sacrifice them. i think mine is from a lot of running combined with a bad posture (i'm working on that)
WOW! This fixed my groin pain so fast, it's not even funny. I was feeling really motivated after 2 months of lack of exercise, so I did a lot of ab workouts like I never left the gym, and the "v" part of my stomach, along with my groin were KILLING me! After this exercise, my groins feels SO MUCH BETTER! THANK YOU!!
You need a medal. I couldn’t squat for about 6 months tried this and I was squatting within three weeks. I really appreciate you sharing this information . Thank you
This video took me from having it hurt to walk to almost no pain in one day. It's amazing how such a simple little movement can make such a big difference. Thank you!

Pulled my hip flexor playing basketball almost 8 years ago and it has been a nagging issue since. Been in and out of PT but it never fully went away. This video has literally saved my ass.Thank you.

Shut the front door!!! Admittedly I was skeptical this would work. I had such a pull in my hip flexor it was killing me. I only did ten of these on that side and I feel relief. Amazing! high fives, hugs, thank you so much!

Honestly man, I'm in tears from the relief I'm feeling. I have a security event at a MMA fight in 4 days and severally strained my hip flexors and have been in excruciating pain... This exercise gave me so much relief !
25 years I have had this problem and still do.and for the past few weeks I have been doing very similar exercises resulting in a little improvement. Now after watching these moves I will tweak my exercises and hopefully get faster better results. I'm 77 yrs and both knees replaced.and probably the pain and recuperation from having them. Hasn't helped my problems. I want to get back on my rollerblades... Hopefully these types of exercises.. Will enable me to do that. Thanks 👍😊 WOW I have just done 3 sets of 20 just on my left hip. And I can feel the pain or pull coming from BOTH SIDES OF MY HIPS.. I like it .thank you for posting these on UA-cam. 👍👍👍
WOW! I’m an old lady, overly, but very strong as I lift weights. Not sure exactly how I injured my right hip flexor, but it really hurt. I found this video yesterday, did the exercises twice, woke up pain free! I will do these daily while I do my stretching. Thank you!
Woah..iv had a running injury for about 10weeks now.. have been for physio, dry needling, pain meds...i just stumbled across this video, and tried this. I got instant relief and i keep testing to check if its still there. .gone...so amazing
Im from South America, Peru. We love soccer as your guy there. Ive been suffering for that pull for almost a year. Ive gone to check with quiropratics n fisioterapist here but after 3 months nothing work. So I just decided to try by my own. Doing the best I could, searchig for answer n thats why I writting to say thank you for uploading this. You made my healing process a lot more succesfull. First sesion done n Im feeling. I hope you having a great man. You ve done a real good action.
it’s really wild how quickly this exercise worked for me. like instantly. 5 minutes after doing this I can feel the pain releasing and gentle heat/circulation in the area. I’ve been scouring UA-cam and google for the source of my hip flexor pain for weeks now to no avail. I am so grateful for this 4 year old video! INSTANT relief for this dancer/yogi body. FINALLY. Thank you!
Hey, man. Tks so much from Brazil! I was in pain and after just one session I'm feeling much better. I hope that I could play soccer and running in a couple of weeks.
I haven't been able to run for 2 weeks. I've been limping around in pain due to hip flexor strain and have had 2 Physio sessions without any noticeable improvement. I came across this video yesterday and did these exercises. I repeated them this morning and now can't believe how these simple exercises have taken the pain away. I am planning a slow run tomorrow to get back into it. Will take it slowly as it feels almost too good to be true. Thank you so much!!
Broooo you’re a life savior. I was dealing with this pain for a month and a half. I stopped training for a month and used the icing method hoping it would be enough to heal this injury but it was all a waste of time. I started watching this video at 1 am with very little hope this would actually help and damn did this help. This exercise relieved pain that 1 month of inactivity couldn’t relieve.
oh my god..... I gave up for years.... but this is really how to hit the minimus. one session 25reps 4 sets and 0 groin pain, could instantly squat ass to grass with 0 hip flexor tightness. THANK YOU.
For those who watched this video and wonder if this works, let me tell you it absolutely works. I'm a long distance runner and had stopped running for two weeks because of hip pain (most probably an overuse injury), wasn't able to lift my leg, tried so many other exercises and stretches, nothing works until I saw this video two days ago and started doing the two exercises showed in the video, back to running yesterday (ran 3k, still a little painful but bearable) and surprisingly able to run today as well (5k, felt much better than yesterday). I would say I'm 80% recovered now and will continue to keep my mileage low till full recovery. Thanks so much!
As a physical therapist myself this video is top quality, Great job Zach on such a quality video. Breaks down the anatomy and reason behind the pain and discomfort, and offers an easy solution to help !
I actually didn’t believe the comments on this video. I started playing soccer again for the first time in 7 years and my hip flexors hurt so much that I couldn’t even pass a soccer ball, much less sprint or change direction quickly. I did these exercises for 3 days and have already seen a drastic reduction in pain. Thank you!
Wow, you know your stuff.These are exactly the 2 points ( groin area and side hip) that have been niggling me for years, maybe even decades................ so now I know what I have to do. . I just did the exercises and the first few goes I was getting nothing at all, then I kept hearing you say "rotate" and eventually stumbled my way into "twisting" my leg at the top of the movement .... and hey presto, after 4 or 5 raises I could really feel it............ I did 2 x 20 on each leg and 10 mins later that exact "X" spot on my thighs feels like it has been to the gym LOL.......................... Awesome my friend, many thanks and God bless you.
Dub Siren nice!! Please check corexs12. 12 exercises to fix your entire body. Its a rehab app. 5 hip, 4 shoulder, 3 core. Exercises. The hip exercises are different and more effective in the app. Its $60. Enjoy.
I have been in pain for days from my hip flexor strain and stretching wasn't doing anything. I did this excersise and it was instant relief!! I am amazed and grateful. I am going to start doing these excersises daily to strengthen the protect the hip flexor. THANK YOU
So great you found some relief, now make sure to strength all of the supporting muscles to prevent this from re-ocurring. If it helps you and other soccer players, I just posted an entire video on the full rehab for this condition with strengthening exercises to prevent re-injury.
Thank you- I can't believe how well this worked. Not only has this immediately allowed to get back to pain free movement- but helped me realize a lot about the functionality of the gait cycle/sprinting mechanics. Blessings
Absolute genius man thank you very much I was out for 3 weeks because of my hip flexor and as soon as I did these stretches the next day I was back playing just fine can’t thank you enough!
Thanks 1,000 times!!! Utilizing this exercise for the past year or so has been rewarding. I keep coming back to this. Got back skateboarding, mid-40's - this exercise is helping me stay healthy enough to skate, over the hill. All the best - Cheers!
Oh my gosh this is so helpful, i feel so thankful, thanks bro Ive been playing soccer and been doing track for 5 years and ever since quarintine, i started skateing and ive always injuries even before skating and i watched so many videos and this is the only one that works so thanks
Ive had one sided lower back pain for 2 years seen countless specialists, all telling me glute medius strength, all gave me exercises for my glutes , I thought doing the exercises provided and following loads of youtube videos would make me glutes strong and it did to an extent they feel and look strong and most glute exercises I can do with ease now. Tried this glute minimus exercises and Im in pain after 1 set of 15 😂 hope this helps my back pain.
Literally 5 min of these exercises and my left hip flexor pain/stiffness/weakness 80% gone…it’s been bothering me off and on for almost 20 years. Great post!!
Παρακολούθησα το βίντεο ένα μήνα πριν. Στο διάστημα αυτό εφάρμοσα την άσκηση, ώστε πριν σχολιασω, να δω αν έχει αποτέλεσμα. Λοιπόν, είναι πολύ καλη και βοηθάει σε όποιον έχει πρόβλημα στο σημείο. Ασκει μυς που ενώ δεν είναι μεγάλοι, είναι πολύ σημαντικοί στο περπατημα. Ευχαριστώ για την βοήθεια. 👍
Add me to the list of people this has helped. I have a desk job and sit far too much each day. As a result, I have ridiculously weak hips which led to tight hip flexors, particularly on the right. This exercise lit my glutes minimus and medius on FIRE. First time I’ve felt those particular muscles in maybe my whole life. I already feel tremendous relief. Thanks so much! I’ll keep this in my routine from now on.
A huge thank you! Was struggling with my hip flexor four days before a half marathon, practicing this exercise 3 times a days, fixed my hip flexor and I managed to complete the half marathon pain free.. Amazing 😀
I had pain in my hip flexor and psoas muscle for about 6-8 weeks. I did stretches and muscles “releases” I found on youtube and they helped a tiny bit but your video and exercise helped me the best! I would say I’m about 97% healed and I only did your exercise twice. I will keep building this muscle but I just wanted to say a massive thank you! Thank you for helping me! 🙏🙏
@@CorexcellSportsTrainingRehab Thanks for the link! Will have to find a 6 inch box but this first video did a great job and I will continue to work on it.
istg this works so quickly and is just way to easy like i was lying on my bed watched this video and tried and within less than 10 minutes i totally healed from the pain! Hats off to you sir!
Been struggling with a hip flexor injury leading into lower back for over a month, physio, acupuncture and massage helped but every time I go back to training and do slightly more kicks, I feel it again and can feel it will be worse if I kick more. Not been able to train properly in well over a month. Did this exercise and it hurt on the fist set! I kick high and often, I thought my legs were strong but wow ok, no wonder I got injured. After 1 session it doesn't hurt to touch my hip flexor anymore - I'll keep doing these exercises and let you know how I get on too! Thank you for this video and thanks for all the comments, wouldn't have tried it if it wasn't for so many people posting positive feedback.
As a fighter , throwing knee strikes to pads ,I pulled the hip flexor on the other leg. All athletes need to watch this channel. We all have training injuries
Like many others who have posted here, I’m so deeply grateful for your exercise recommendations for my strained hip flexor. I could barely walk or even lift my knee, and after a few rounds of this glut exercises I’m feeling so much better. Thank you SO much for your help!! Instant subscriber here!!
Great info! I'm coming back from a hip replacement, anterior approach. I'm 4 months out and have been super frustrated that my hip flexors and adductors always feel strained. That isolated glute minimus exercise is something I need to add to my rehab. 🔥😎
Both my hip flexors have been killing me for literally years. I felt cripple. I have been doing this for 3 days, and almost all the flexor pain is gone. It is freaky. Thank you so much for the insight.
This is wild. I've had weeks of hip pain and felt so discouraged- no matter how many days I rested, it kept flaring up. I tried this very skeptically while scrolling and immediately experienced relief of the nagging hip pain that's been bothering me for weeks. Incredible.
Hi. I injured my hip flexor while kicking/ kneeing a heavy bag almost a year ago. After going to a physical therapist for a few months, I saw little improvement. I am still not completely healed on that side, but this video has helped immensely. I have seen a noticeable improvement since strengthening my glute min/ max. I have also incorporated lower ab strengthening.
Now this is amazing. The 2nd time I did the exercises I felt and heard a couple of "pops" in my neck, no pain, just like a release. I have been bothered with an occasional sore, cracking neck, on that side for years ....................... not any more ! ........ Awesome, thanks again Corexcell, this has been a huge help to me.
Been having hip flexor pain for 6 weeks now and can I tell you I just did this and the pain is nearly gone!! Will do again in the am but your a genius thank youuuuu. Got yourself a like and a sub!!!
This truly work! I nursed this pain for three days, but 5 mins (3 set of 15 reps as recommended) was all I needed snd I feel fantastic! I did it in bed! No soreness, pain, or tenderness. I’m incorporating this in my workouts moving forward.
I strained my hip flexor muscle doing glute bridge. I have Anterior Pelvic Tilt and strengthening my glute is essential. Haven't been able to train properly for 2 weeks. And after resting for a few days the pain on my left hip flexor muscle kept coming back. I tried this for 2 days and I feel instant change. Now I'm incorporating this in my APT rehab. You are amazing .
Abdul Abdullahi its impossible to learn everything u need through a video. I have an online training program. I assess you through skype. Then send you the videos of exact exercises. Then we do 4 total one on one skype sessions to learn the exercises and get u out of pain. Let me know. Whatsapp 1-610 730 1110. Or email me corexcell11@gmail.com
Suffering pain from last 4 days. Last night I can't able to sleep. But now after watching this video I have done only one session and the pain has magically reduced. Thank you so much. God bless you Sir.
I love this! Most videos just show exercises for Glute medius, which I have trouble feeling in my right glute. No matter what variations of exercises to target the Glute medius I feel it more in my TFL. But the exercises in this video helped me understand better. I also have a left hip impingement for 3 years now and this helps. Thank you!
Just like many others here I've pulled my Hip Flexor a few weeks ago and nothing seemed to helped. I followed this exercise and I can definitely feel the improvement. I also appreciate the in depth details and description given.
I just injured my hip flexors while snow shoeing yesterday in -25C weather. I will do this exercise for the next 3 days twice a day and will come back with some feedback. Thanks so much because this pain is excruciating.
Sure.. willing to try ANYTHING at this point. I am 6 months in.. this has been the most painful injury of my life. It started with what felt like pinching when I got off the couch and quickly escalated to extreme pain all the way around the front and back hip and down the inner thigh and groin area. They did an MRI and diagnosed me with a grade 3 hip flexor strain, wish I would have asked which muscle cause hip flexor is such a generic term. Couldn't walk.. couldn't move. After 4 months of PT and I was finally able to attempt to do things again, and the pain finally localized to right at the hip joint where it has stayed for a few more months. I am a VERY active person and its killing me to have to hold back! Gonna start doing this daily and see if it helps.
All i can say is wtf??? I did 2 sets of the exercise at 4:18 and my hip flexor pain vanished! Thank you. Will definitely be doing these every day before leg days
I m a soccer player that play 6 days a week and had this hip pain for two years. Today, 24 Nov 20, I will start this excersise and will see how it works in two weeks. Tanx
Hope you are feeling better. Playing 6 days a week may mean you may need a few days during the week to heal the muscle, either complete rest with heat, or very gentle massage and stretch. Hope you are feeling better and still playing !
@@SpeedyMckeezy wow! That’s great. I hope mine heals fast too. I just started the exercises three days ago. It wasn’t great pain so it is hard to tell if I’m improving.
You literally changed my life. Thank you! I was in intense burning pain in my hip and back from straining my hip flexor. I couldn't pinpoint what was causing the pain. The pain went on for months. I couldn't sit or sleep. You fixed it in ONE DAY. Thank you so much. I wish I could send you a thank you card. I wish I could give you a hug!
I can't thank you enough for making this video. My flexor muscles were sore for weeks after running. After doing your exercises for 2 days.... I'm going back out running again without pain.
Kin Y. Chan thanks for watching!!! what i show on youtube is not all my secrets. But bits and pieces to gather interest. And give out free information that works. If your truly interested in getting fixed. Then u should do face time sessions with me and learn my 5 hip exercise testing system. If one of those is off then it is causing your knee pain. None of these exercises are up on youtube. Let me know and i can email u the info and pricing. Thanks again for your interest
THANK YOU very much for this, I've actually been intuitively doing these and letting the insight of muscle activation guide me. I wasn't too confident about sticking to my reps until this!

WOW! I’m an old lady, overly, but very strong as I lift weights. Not sure exactly how I injured my right hip flexor, but it really hurt. I found this video yesterday, did the exercises twice, woke up pain free! I will do these daily while I do my stretching. Thank you!
Was in pain for 8 months. Tried everything. Holy shit did this work. You're a god send sir
Woah..iv had a running injury for about 10weeks now.. have been for physio, dry needling, pain meds...i just stumbled across this video, and tried this. I got instant relief and i keep testing to check if its still there. .gone...so amazing
Im from South America, Peru. We love soccer as your guy there. Ive been suffering for that pull for almost a year. Ive gone to check with quiropratics n fisioterapist here but after 3 months nothing work. So I just decided to try by my own. Doing the best I could, searchig for answer n thats why I writting to say thank you for uploading this. You made my healing process a lot more succesfull. First sesion done n Im feeling. I hope you having a great man. You ve done a real good action.
it’s really wild how quickly this exercise worked for me. like instantly. 5 minutes after doing this I can feel the pain releasing and gentle heat/circulation in the area. I’ve been scouring UA-cam and google for the source of my hip flexor pain for weeks now to no avail. I am so grateful for this 4 year old video! INSTANT relief for this dancer/yogi body. FINALLY. Thank you!
I love how this channel breaks down explanations and root cause of problems.
Martin J Fernandez thank you
Hey, man. Tks so much from Brazil! I was in pain and after just one session I'm feeling much better. I hope that I could play soccer and running in a couple of weeks.
No doubt a Miracle 🙏🙏🙏 I have been doing this since a week , my one year of pain discomfort is completely gone
Thanks a lot 😍
I haven't been able to run for 2 weeks. I've been limping around in pain due to hip flexor strain and have had 2 Physio sessions without any noticeable improvement. I came across this video yesterday and did these exercises. I repeated them this morning and now can't believe how these simple exercises have taken the pain away. I am planning a slow run tomorrow to get back into it. Will take it slowly as it feels almost too good to be true. Thank you so much!!
Broooo you’re a life savior. I was dealing with this pain for a month and a half. I stopped training for a month and used the icing method hoping it would be enough to heal this injury but it was all a waste of time. I started watching this video at 1 am with very little hope this would actually help and damn did this help. This exercise relieved pain that 1 month of inactivity couldn’t relieve.
TheWarGamer_49 make sure u check out my app. Even better exercises. Link is in details of video
oh my god..... I gave up for years.... but this is really how to hit the minimus. one session 25reps 4 sets and 0 groin pain, could instantly squat ass to grass with 0 hip flexor tightness.
THANK YOU.
For those who watched this video and wonder if this works, let me tell you it absolutely works. I'm a long distance runner and had stopped running for two weeks because of hip pain (most probably an overuse injury), wasn't able to lift my leg, tried so many other exercises and stretches, nothing works until I saw this video two days ago and started doing the two exercises showed in the video, back to running yesterday (ran 3k, still a little painful but bearable) and surprisingly able to run today as well (5k, felt much better than yesterday). I would say I'm 80% recovered now and will continue to keep my mileage low till full recovery. Thanks so much!
I hurt my hip flexors running stairs. Now just walking hurts them. So I’m going to try these. Hope I succeed!
As a physical therapist myself this video is top quality, Great job Zach on such a quality video. Breaks down the anatomy and reason behind the pain and discomfort, and offers an easy solution to help !
Soccer Doc Thank you so much!! Where is your practice at?
I actually didn’t believe the comments on this video. I started playing soccer again for the first time in 7 years and my hip flexors hurt so much that I couldn’t even pass a soccer ball, much less sprint or change direction quickly. I did these exercises for 3 days and have already seen a drastic reduction in pain. Thank you!
Wow, you know your stuff.These are exactly the 2 points ( groin area and side hip) that have been niggling me for years, maybe even decades................ so now I know what I have to do. . I just did the exercises and the first few goes I was getting nothing at all, then I kept hearing you say "rotate" and eventually stumbled my way into "twisting" my leg at the top of the movement .... and hey presto, after 4 or 5 raises I could really feel it............ I did 2 x 20 on each leg and 10 mins later that exact "X" spot on my thighs feels like it has been to the gym LOL.......................... Awesome my friend, many thanks and God bless you.
Dub Siren nice!! Please check corexs12. 12 exercises to fix your entire body. Its a rehab app. 5 hip, 4 shoulder, 3 core. Exercises. The hip exercises are different and more effective in the app. Its $60. Enjoy.
I have been in pain for days from my hip flexor strain and stretching wasn't doing anything. I did this excersise and it was instant relief!! I am amazed and grateful. I am going to start doing these excersises daily to strengthen the protect the hip flexor. THANK YOU
So great you found some relief, now make sure to strength all of the supporting muscles to prevent this from re-ocurring. If it helps you and other soccer players, I just posted an entire video on the full rehab for this condition with strengthening exercises to prevent re-injury.
The goat. I've checked 1000 exercises this was instant relief.
Thank you- I can't believe how well this worked. Not only has this immediately allowed to get back to pain free movement- but helped me realize a lot about the functionality of the gait cycle/sprinting mechanics. Blessings
Absolute genius man thank you very much I was out for 3 weeks because of my hip flexor and as soon as I did these stretches the next day I was back playing just fine can’t thank you enough!
Thanks 1,000 times!!!
Utilizing this exercise for the past year or so has been rewarding. I keep coming back to this.
Got back skateboarding, mid-40's - this exercise is helping me stay healthy enough to skate, over the hill.
All the best - Cheers!
I've just tried the exercises for the first time and have a strong feeling you've changed my life man. THANK YOU.
Oh my gosh this is so helpful, i feel so thankful, thanks bro
Ive been playing soccer and been doing track for 5 years and ever since quarintine, i started skateing and ive always injuries even before skating and i watched so many videos and this is the only one that works so thanks
Can't thank you enough mate, almost instant relief. I was at wits end trying to find the right stretch.
Watched this video, did the exercise as recommended, and immediately felt relief! This was awesome!
Ace Rainey make sure u check out the playlist end of video. It breaks down everything.
Ive had one sided lower back pain for 2 years seen countless specialists, all telling me glute medius strength, all gave me exercises for my glutes , I thought doing the exercises provided and following loads of youtube videos would make me glutes strong and it did to an extent they feel and look strong and most glute exercises I can do with ease now.
Tried this glute minimus exercises and Im in pain after 1 set of 15 😂 hope this helps my back pain.
Best channel on UA-cam. Just bought the app, and a session with Zac. Gotta get the laptop working now.
Literally 5 min of these exercises and my left hip flexor pain/stiffness/weakness 80% gone…it’s been bothering me off and on for almost 20 years. Great post!!
Παρακολούθησα το βίντεο ένα μήνα πριν. Στο διάστημα αυτό εφάρμοσα την άσκηση, ώστε πριν σχολιασω, να δω αν έχει αποτέλεσμα. Λοιπόν, είναι πολύ καλη και βοηθάει σε όποιον έχει πρόβλημα στο σημείο. Ασκει μυς που ενώ δεν είναι μεγάλοι, είναι πολύ σημαντικοί στο περπατημα. Ευχαριστώ για την βοήθεια. 👍
Add me to the list of people this has helped. I have a desk job and sit far too much each day. As a result, I have ridiculously weak hips which led to tight hip flexors, particularly on the right. This exercise lit my glutes minimus and medius on FIRE. First time I’ve felt those particular muscles in maybe my whole life. I already feel tremendous relief. Thanks so much! I’ll keep this in my routine from now on.
A huge thank you! Was struggling with my hip flexor four days before a half marathon, practicing this exercise 3 times a days, fixed my hip flexor and I managed to complete the half marathon pain free.. Amazing 😀
I cannot believe how fast this worked. I was in pain for 6 mo. and PT never fixed any of my issues.
Thank you very much!
I had pain in my hip flexor and psoas muscle for about 6-8 weeks. I did stretches and muscles “releases” I found on youtube and they helped a tiny bit but your video and exercise helped me the best! I would say I’m about 97% healed and I only did your exercise twice. I will keep building this muscle but I just wanted to say a massive thank you! Thank you for helping me! 🙏🙏
Check out the updated hip flexor video. Explains more. Its the link at the end of this video.

@@CorexcellSportsTrainingRehab Thanks for the link! Will have to find a 6 inch box but this first video did a great job and I will continue to work on it.
I was ready to go to urgent care. I was in so much pain for three days. Started yesterday and almost 100% today. Thank you.
Thank you so much! For two years I’ve been dealing with this pain that I didn’t even k ow what it was. Thank you
istg this works so quickly and is just way to easy like i was lying on my bed watched this video and tried and within less than 10 minutes i totally healed from the pain! Hats off to you sir!
Thanks man, this so helpful🙏🏽 road to recovery with people like you is the best
Been struggling with a hip flexor injury leading into lower back for over a month, physio, acupuncture and massage helped but every time I go back to training and do slightly more kicks, I feel it again and can feel it will be worse if I kick more. Not been able to train properly in well over a month.
Did this exercise and it hurt on the fist set! I kick high and often, I thought my legs were strong but wow ok, no wonder I got injured.
After 1 session it doesn't hurt to touch my hip flexor anymore - I'll keep doing these exercises and let you know how I get on too!
Thank you for this video and thanks for all the comments, wouldn't have tried it if it wasn't for so many people posting positive feedback.
This exercise is pure magic!
Thank you!! from Oslo, Norway
As a fighter , throwing knee strikes to pads ,I pulled the hip flexor on the other leg. All athletes need to watch this channel. We all have training injuries
Like many others who have posted here, I’m so deeply grateful for your exercise recommendations for my strained hip flexor. I could barely walk or even lift my knee, and after a few rounds of this glut exercises I’m feeling so much better. Thank you SO much for your help!! Instant subscriber here!!
Great info! I'm coming back from a hip replacement, anterior approach. I'm 4 months out and have been super frustrated that my hip flexors and adductors always feel strained. That isolated glute minimus exercise is something I need to add to my rehab. 🔥😎
This was literally immediate relief. Thanks so much
Thanks for posting I actually hurt myself playing soccer and this helped man . God bless you
Both my hip flexors have been killing me for literally years. I felt cripple. I have been doing this for 3 days, and almost all the flexor pain is gone. It is freaky. Thank you so much for the insight.
Thanks for this video, I have been suffering from 3-4 weeks and consulted to doctor but no result.But after trying this exercise I fell much relief.
This is wild. I've had weeks of hip pain and felt so discouraged- no matter how many days I rested, it kept flaring up.
I tried this very skeptically while scrolling and immediately experienced relief of the nagging hip pain that's been bothering me for weeks. Incredible.
Hi. I injured my hip flexor while kicking/ kneeing a heavy bag almost a year ago. After going to a physical therapist for a few months, I saw little improvement. I am still not completely healed on that side, but this video has helped immensely. I have seen a noticeable improvement since strengthening my glute min/ max. I have also incorporated lower ab strengthening.
This video should have 1M views. Thank you!
Now this is amazing. The 2nd time I did the exercises I felt and heard a couple of "pops" in my neck, no pain, just like a release. I have been bothered with an occasional sore, cracking neck, on that side for years ....................... not any more ! ........ Awesome, thanks again Corexcell, this has been a huge help to me.
BRO YOU A GOAT FOR THIS. IT WORKED RIGHT AWAY
Thank you so much Sir! Ive never had an exercise relieve my pain so instantaneously. Thank you!
I thought this was too good to be true but it actually works, I can't thank you enough sir
Been having hip flexor pain for 6 weeks now and can I tell you I just did this and the pain is nearly gone!! Will do again in the am but your a genius thank youuuuu. Got yourself a like and a sub!!!
This truly work! I nursed this pain for three days, but 5 mins (3 set of 15 reps as recommended) was all I needed snd I feel fantastic! I did it in bed! No soreness, pain, or tenderness. I’m incorporating this in my workouts moving forward.
I strained my hip flexor muscle doing glute bridge. I have Anterior Pelvic Tilt and strengthening my glute is essential. Haven't been able to train properly for 2 weeks. And after resting for a few days the pain on my left hip flexor muscle kept coming back. I tried this for 2 days and I feel instant change. Now I'm incorporating this in my APT rehab. You are amazing .
Abdul Abdullahi its impossible to learn everything u need through a video. I have an online training program. I assess you through skype. Then send you the videos of exact exercises. Then we do 4 total one on one skype sessions to learn the exercises and get u out of pain. Let me know. Whatsapp 1-610 730 1110. Or email me corexcell11@gmail.com
Suffering pain from last 4 days. Last night I can't able to sleep. But now after watching this video I have done only one session and the pain has magically reduced. Thank you so much. God bless you Sir.
Hey I've had pain for a month started doing this and it worked I'm dumbfounded ....had to come back a acknowledge the great info ..thank you
Wow! This is amazing! I’ve been strained for days and the first try I’m 80% better - Thank you so much!
I love this! Most videos just show exercises for Glute medius, which I have trouble feeling in my right glute. No matter what variations of exercises to target the Glute medius I feel it more in my TFL. But the exercises in this video helped me understand better. I also have a left hip impingement for 3 years now and this helps. Thank you!
Just like many others here I've pulled my Hip Flexor a few weeks ago and nothing seemed to helped. I followed this exercise and I can definitely feel the improvement. I also appreciate the in depth details and description given.
Howblong did it take tp heal
I just injured my hip flexors while snow shoeing yesterday in -25C weather. I will do this exercise for the next 3 days twice a day and will come back with some feedback. Thanks so much because this pain is excruciating.
Did it help?
Couldn't find this much explainatory info anywhere else. Thanks a lot
Sure.. willing to try ANYTHING at this point. I am 6 months in.. this has been the most painful injury of my life. It started with what felt like pinching when I got off the couch and quickly escalated to extreme pain all the way around the front and back hip and down the inner thigh and groin area. They did an MRI and diagnosed me with a grade 3 hip flexor strain, wish I would have asked which muscle cause hip flexor is such a generic term. Couldn't walk.. couldn't move. After 4 months of PT and I was finally able to attempt to do things again, and the pain finally localized to right at the hip joint where it has stayed for a few more months. I am a VERY active person and its killing me to have to hold back! Gonna start doing this daily and see if it helps.
All i can say is wtf??? I did 2 sets of the exercise at 4:18 and my hip flexor pain vanished! Thank you. Will definitely be doing these every day before leg days
I m a soccer player that play 6 days a week and had this hip pain for two years. Today, 24 Nov 20, I will start this excersise and will see how it works in two weeks. Tanx
Hope you are feeling better. Playing 6 days a week may mean you may need a few days during the week to heal the muscle, either complete rest with heat, or very gentle massage and stretch. Hope you are feeling better and still playing !
Been dealing with a searing pain in my hf for 3 months... it's finally showing signs of healing after these exercises. Bad4ss video!!!
How long did it take after starting the exercises for you to feel better?
@@plumeria66 4 days for the pain to go from 100% to 10%, then about two more weeks for the pain to completely disappear
@@SpeedyMckeezy wow! That’s great. I hope mine heals fast too. I just started the exercises three days ago. It wasn’t great pain so it is hard to tell if I’m improving.
THIS IS TOTALLY WORTH IT IVE BEEN INJURED FOR 2 MONTHS SO FAR AND IDK I HAVE A MATCH IN 2 DAYS BUT I STARTED FEELING IT
Deserve respect
You literally changed my life. Thank you! I was in intense burning pain in my hip and back from straining my hip flexor. I couldn't pinpoint what was causing the pain. The pain went on for months. I couldn't sit or sleep. You fixed it in ONE DAY. Thank you so much. I wish I could send you a thank you card. I wish I could give you a hug!
Is it normal that i feel some pain while doing this exercises ?
Alen Haziri I didn’t feel pain so u should probably rest it first then try again in like 3 days
I can't thank you enough for making this video. My flexor muscles were sore for weeks after running. After doing your exercises for 2 days.... I'm going back out running again without pain.
Kin Y. Chan thanks for watching!!! what i show on youtube is not all my secrets. But bits and pieces to gather interest. And give out free information that works. If your truly interested in getting fixed. Then u should do face time sessions with me and learn my 5 hip exercise testing system. If one of those is off then it is causing your knee pain. None of these exercises are up on youtube. Let me know and i can email u the info and pricing. Thanks again for your interest
This..... is a good video unlike others.
Ty for the information that explains how important that glut muscle is in connection to hip pain.
It really lowered the pain like magic thank you man
Thank you so much for uploading this video!! You’ve relieved myself and many others of constant nagging pain.
My hip flexor instantly started feeling better, thanks my man🙌
THANK YOU very much for this, I've actually been intuitively doing these and letting the insight of muscle activation guide me. I wasn't too confident about sticking to my reps until this!
