I got diagnosed with FAI about a year ago. A chiropractor told me I couldn't do much about it, and an orthopaedic surgeon basically told me to stop internal rotation past 90 degrees with the femur, or I'd wear out my hip. Neither offered any solutions at all. They didn't care/couldn't help me. I thought it was hopeless at the beginning, but I tried a lot of different movements, over the course of many months, that have dramatically improved my FIA, almost to the point that I don't even notice it much anymore. To be honest I don't even use many of the movements from the FAI program, but they helped my find the movements that worked for me. It help pave the way to my recovery. I found the stretches didn't help as much as activation. Lengthening the anterior part of the hip, and activation of the glutes worked better for me. Strong external rotational movements of the hip, strengthening, activating, and increasing the range, on that particular movement, has been a huge factor fixing my FAI. It seems to give the muscles in the hip loads of control and creates clearance where the impingement is. If I spend a good 20 min doing mobility, (mainly mobility activation exercises) before training session, my FAI doesn't bother much at all, but it did take me at least 6 months to get to that point and change the way my hips moved. It takes perseverance, and patience, but I can honestly say I'm moving like I used to again. I just take longer to warm up, and I feel a bit stiffer, but I can almost say that my FAI is basically cured/well maintained. The whole idea that, "there's nothing you can do about FAI," is kind of bullshit. I'm living proof.
Hi I got mine fixed by acupuncture and then only after went to a chiropractor and found out I had FAI cap style. I'm going to see an orthopedic doctor soon, but it seems like the acupuncture already fixed it enough to give me full range of motion again.
Thanks Shane, this is the best and most informative video on hip impingement and the fai syndrom I've come across so far. You're doing a great work, keep going. best from germany
I'm the 500th like and am starting my fai fix journey today. I've had pain for over 5 years now and its causing me problems in everyday life and in the gym and while doing mma. Hopefully in 6-8 months I can return here and say that I've finally fixed it. I researched it and made a program for myself with the stretches,mobility and flexibility exercises along with exercises to strengthen my glutes,hams and other smaller hip muscles. My diet is gonna change too and I will eliminate all the toxic stuff like sugar and dairy. I wish luck to anyone struggling with this even if you are young like me or in your 70's.
Awesome! Great to know that you're starting the program and I'm looking forward to how this would pan out for you. Dealing with FAI is really tough and the healing will take place with consistency. Let me know how it goes!
This has honestly been the most informative, clear-cut, and positive information I've had in 3 years of dealing with this hip impingement misery. It's also free advice. I've also spent so much money trying to fix it and have had some good therapies, but none that seem to be fixing me as quickly as I hoped. I've also watched hundreds of UA-cam videos on hip impingement and how to fix it, to no avail. Now I just happen to come across your video and...wow. This could be just the ticket to my recovery. Everything you said resonates with me entirely! Thank you for such a detailed and thorough video on this debilitating issue. I have honestly been losing the will in recent months. My life has been ruined by this disabling condition, and worse because I also have a knee issue on the opposite side. I used to do a lot of yoga before I also tore my rotator cuff on my shoulder, plus injured the hip. Now, my body is one stiff lump of clay. I feel so restricted in my movements. It's honestly quite shocking to how flexible I was when practising yoga. No yoga over the last 3 years has really not helped my situation, but I have been gently stretching more frequently recently. I will now aim to stretch daily and follow your advice on all you've advised! I do, however, walk a lot. I do keep moving, but I also do have days where I feel too scared to, as of the hip and knee pain. This is the most positive I've felt about fixing myself in a long time. Thank you, kind Sir 🙏
Hi Emma! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I'm glad to know that this helped you. I have the FAi Fix Program and some free videos here for FAI clients. Check them out and let me know if that helped you even more.
You are amazing coach - I've following Matt Hsu from Upright Health for about 7 years. I was not surprised when I found out you two were "buds". Thank you so much for all these teachings about FAI. I feel I'm becoming a better PT every day, thaks to you guys. Love your works! Iva, Denmark
Thank you for your kind opinion about me. Yes, we sure are, and it's great that you found some insights on my channel valuable for you. Is there anything else you want to see?
I have just started squatting with the 5x5SL program. People said i need to start squatting deeper, so I did. The impinchment pain followed in my right hip. I have never seen such an in depth video about anatomy/pathology and the different ways to aproach them. Thanks a lot for this man! I really apreciate you and the way you explain and aproach different situations!
Lots of valuable information in this channel! It really does come down to making lifestyle changes, avoid surgery and pain meds. The body will heal and eliminate foods that cause inflammation.
I can relate. CAM with FAI and interchondral cyst (which scared me initially). I've been a runner all my life and never had hip issues, however after running 2 marathons back to back I began having pretty severe groin pain. I haven't ran in 5 weeks and have been doing all the PT exercises and stretches' and finally feeling some relief. I've been rather discouraged because of the recovery time but watching your videos has given me hope. Thanks for the information and all of your videos.

I am 19 years old and have it since i´m 16. Doc said today that i should search for online therapy, because the availibility is limited during the pandemic lockdown in Germany. I think i will try your program and keep a update here.
I deeply appreciate the information Shane has provided here. I went to a joint doctor for help with my extremely painful left hip and an x-ray showed a bone spur in the hip. He immediately sent me to physical therapy, which I didn't understand when I wanted a quick fix. I've been cooperating with the therapist without having any faith at all in the process. After watching this video now I completely understand why the physical therapy and my attitude toward it is much improved. Can't thank you enough!

Thank you shane . You are truly a good coach. I agree with everything you said , regarding surgery.As there are good surgeon, there are also bad ones, worse the main surgeon can handle you to junior surgeon, after he sedated you to sleep. I believe this what happened to me. Twenty five years ago l had my ACL were torn, so l had ACL reconstruction. I could have live without ACL l was fine, except l had minor issues when l squats, otherwise I was fine, however someone advised me to have my have my ACL fixed through surgery, so l can play soccer again after surgery, since l couldn’t imagine life without playing soccer , l apt for surgery unfortunately the surgery made it worse, l lost extension in my knee, as consequence my hip was affected. So l agree ! surgery should be done, after one exhausted all the other non- surgical options, and make sure the senior surgeon doesn’t hand you to a newly graduated surgeon so he can practice on you, l am sorry to say, some doctors choose and pick on who to practice on based on, who they can get away with, they could see your name, occupation , nationality, l believe all this none- verbally, were used against me ,in fact the junior surgeon did most of the operation, junior surgeon l only met right before sedation. True story. Ask questions. Don’t put your body under a knife, until exhausting all questions. Thank You shane for the precise and concise , but informative video. Thank You!❤

@@GotROM Just spent an hour reading various parts of your website and watching Kristen's video. I believe I have a labral tear but I haven't had a scan. Will have a think about joining your programme.
I absolutely know I have this. And every Dr is saying it's just my back. It's my my disc. No tf it's not. I can do any back exercises. I can't fucking do a squat without feeling every muscle around my pelvis snap. And my left foot is always away from my body. Every dr is acting like I'm crazy. This video blew my mind just now.

Ah, you are/were Matt Hsu’s partner! I’ve watched many of his videos and bought the hip plan. Ironically I got - free to me thru my insurance plan - looped in to Hinge Health - and started following their plan. They sent me some goodies, I message and call my assigned Coach and doctor of PT and they seem to be huge proponents of movement and stretches, not surgery! Once I gather more goodies I may return to the upright health app, good forever, so why not? Great video here by the way…years later. LOL
this guy is genuine because he says it may take few months or years. He is right. Hip issues cant be fixed overnight. This is great research & personal experience stuff. He says both the journey & the result is enjoyable. This is the best.
@@slowneil For sure! Going through the pain and doing consistent work is tough. I did enjoy learning more about what works and how I can improve daily. What are you working on?
@@GotROM im booked in to have the surgery in a couple days. I have been doing pt and fai fix for over a year and im still getting worse. I had a severe crush injury to my right big toe which caused nerve damage and numbness in my foot so my balance and gait is off. I did triathlon and for a few years and now my whole right side is constantly in pain. That's the hardest thing for me that many exercises you need to plant you big toe and turn knee out which just doesn't work for me.
@@GotROM i don't want to do the surgery necessarily but I feel like its worth a shot at this stage. I quit my job last year and spent all my time working on it this year to no end. Spent over $20,000 this year on specialists and have nothing to show for it.

Got ROM I’m definitely interested in doing your program! I was squatting a few months ago, I’ve never had great rom to begin with. I have tight ankles/ hips. But I went down too far and felt an intense pressure in the front of my right hip. Been sore ever since. Would love to b able to do a proper atg squat so I can get back to strength training and maybe compete in powerlifting someday

@@GotROM I have lower back pain since 8 years and then knee pain while lefting weights later on sciatica and now hip pain.. I recetnly discovered that I have APT (through UA-cam) which is causing most of the problems and the doctor keep giving me anti inflammatory pills for my hips and yes it helps but for a while because he's not treating the root of the problem. Watching your video gave me a clear picture for my condition.. even the way I sleep, sit and drive leaning on my right side.. all are cumulative small actions that creates the pain.. and pain is only trying to tell me that I'm doing something wrong.. thank you again and God bless you for helping people like me
@@familytv1724 Thank you for sharing your experience. And it's good to know that you have gotten some insights from my video. Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
Hello everyone, I would like to share my story with FAI. Hope you guys can get some insights from it. It started during quarantine with severe pain on my left hip joint. I thought it was due to stiffness first, so I did stretches for a while. But things got worse with stretches. Later, I went to see an orthopedist. And he diagnosed me with CAM FAI after an MRI. As that orthopedist was not specialized in hip joint problems, he recommended me seeing another one. The second orthopedist told me that actually it is both of my femurs that have CAM FAI. For him, this was good news as it showed that the right side tolerated the FAI implying the left can do that too. Therefore, he decided to stick with non-surgical treatments with telling me that surgery will be the option only if my joint does not respond to them. Then he prescribed me a three month program. For the first month, he basically said no physical activity beyond daily routine. For the second month, he suggested me to go for long walks. And finally, he said go for runs in the last month. On top of that, he prescribed me to take an anti-inflamatuar painkiller (Cataflam) daily during that three months, and said come back after three months to tell if anything changed regarding pain. I sticked with that plan for three months and felt a little bit better actually. However, when I did not take the painkillers, the situation was not that different from what it had been three months ago. I told him these and stopped taking Cataflam. Then he suggested me to try the last option before possible surgery. This was direct PRP injections into my left joint. I had 3 shots of them with 3 months interval between each. Also, he recommended me to refrain from activities that puts weights directly on the hip joints during that time. So, I stopped doing leg presses and squats. Instead of them, I settled with leg extensions and leg curls at gym. After sticking to that PRP schedule, now I am doing great as I feel pain maybe only one or two days each month. I have an active lifestyle as I go to gym at least 3 days per week even though I skip squats and leg presses in leg days.
Hey, that's good to know! Glad that you're recovering from FAI. There are always plenty of options to help you deal with FAI and I'm glad you found your path. Let me know if you need help with anything else!

Shane, I've also seen dietary inflammation as a partial factor... when I cut out gluten and dairy my efforts to increase hip rom (deep squat) improved rapidly
@@GotROM yep. I would foam roll, etc. but it never lasted until I changed diet. My tissues are still releasing and often just by going through normal motions... I need massage, etc less and less but feel better and better
My story is that of all the rest. But can i just say my diagnosis in the hospital 2 days ago made me cry in despair. Seeing this has give me morevthan hope. Thankyou so much you are a great person thankyou thankyou.

At the moment its sharp pain when walking followed by crazy sciatic pain in my buttock sometimes upper leg but always front-ish shin. I just need some direction. If its a payment scheme ill try my best to get the money together. Hope you can help thanks again.

I was diagnosed w/FAI, labral tears, big cyst in the joint 15 yrs ago or so, now 71. I can be normal for weeks but when I move a certain way get a stabbing pain, when it flares up pain on movmt can persist for couple weeks. Hope to live out rest of my life w/out hip replacement, my joint lining is pretty good. I have had joint injections, sometimes help. Had some PT. I found a PT place where same therapist sees you every visit and stays with you for 50 minutes. All PHDs. Had 3 MRIs, also had a consult at Hosp for Special Surgery. You have to have a clean joint w/no degen changes at all before orthos will operate. I would not want a labral repair, the success rate even for the young not that great, the rehab is long. I have low back pain also, I wonder if my hip ROM limits affect the back.

Thank you Shane, my right hip has been having some weird feelings during external rotation and circumduction compared to my left hip for several years, its not super severe and I am able to do squats and hip hinging movements with resistance but it has been bothering me a lot. From watching your videos and sharing of experiences has brought me great comfort and gave me hope to this chronic condition of mine. I can feel your motivation and keep up the good work!
I was told I have FAI after years of doctors, X-rays, an MRI and tons of other test. I have sever pain in my right hip and mild pain in my left. I will also get back pain. My pelvis rotates so much that i have functioning scoliosis, always lean to the right and have to stand/walk with my hands on my back for support. I was told I should have hip abduction surgery to fix the problem. But it seems so many people have more pain after surgery. So I’m like what’s the point? Just to have some bone shaved? I just want to be in less pain and enjoy normal activities like road trips and hiking! I am now researching exercises hence how I got to your video! I did pt and they had me doing squats and lunges which made me insanely worse! Edit: hip arthroscopy surgery
Will this work if a person had hip dysplasure from birth (needed to be double diapered?) My daughter, at 43 has tried PT, massage, yoga, pilates, weight training, and anything else you can imagine for 1 year. She also has a cyst in her hip joint and her doctors have convinced her the only thing that can get her back to hiking, playing pickleball and have a pain-free life is a total hip replacement. I am terrified for her- but she has been working hard on all other methods. Will your program help her?
I know how you feel, and I'm sorry that your daughter had to go through this. The FAI Fix Program works for all hip issues. We also offer a refund for situations where the FAI Fix is not the best solution for her. Hope that helps! Let me know!
I did an x-ray because I have being having a hip pain on my right leg for a while and Lowe back pain. I just got the result and they said I have a bilateral cranial acetabular retroversion in both hips legs my primary doctor said to go to orthopaedic surgeon to get the surgery but I’m really scared I don’t wanna do the surgery, I will go to an orthopaedic surgeon hope there is other alternative treatments.😭

Thank you so much for this info. I underwent Rt hip arthroscopy to fix my FAI it got better but not what I expected and I'm still struggling with Lt hip FAI . I do not want to undergo surgery for my Lt hip. I'm 58yrs old when younger I was an aerobic teacher and practice kickboxing. Know I'm a salsa dancer. It's a little difficult but I can do it not with the same flexibility as before, the one I used to have and want to recover so badly because most of the moves hurt and I love dancing. Seeing the variations to stretch is giving me hope. Thank you for the help, I will start with the stretches and hope in God I get better.

@@GotROM i did the last one in dec, 1 so since dec, 5 i guess, but honestly my hips still not mobile at all, it hurts to abduct wich is one of the main movements of calisthenics and i probably suffer with a kind of negative reflection of the muscle by not contractin in high intensity. I try to work the movemenst like internal and external rotations, but i think i did not emphasized strenght as well as i needed, so today i am working not just mobility, but low limb strenght as well.
@@umit777. man i did it one each side. Today, 3 yeas later i am way better, however, this is extremely individual. I practice mobility every day. I am a professional sport scientist so i did my own rehab. For me lets say i was 20% before surgery and 70%, maybe 75% after.
Hey, I have surgery for a labrum tear/FAI repair next month.

I've been dealing with back pain, buttock pain. Pain shooting down my left leg I'm the back part. Pain or soreness in the groin. Pain in my SI joint area. More to the left side. Cooling sensation going down my right leg depending how I'm positioned sometimes. If I'm sitting and depending on what type of surface. When standing I get a VERY SHARP AND BAD PAIN in my left hip flexor until I fully stand upright. Doesn't happen all the time but when it does boy on boy. Doctors said my pain is because I have severe arthritis in my left hip but I don't think that's my problem. There is times I can lift my left knee up in a sitting position (not much) and other times barely off the ground. If I'm laying in the bed and depending on how I'm positioned and I go to turn or something I get a pull or restriction in my groin area. I really believe I can fix this and get back to walking normal without wobbling or limping. I don't want surgery.
Hello Shane, I really would like your advice, I will go through all the other tests but in what situation may you shift towards the affected hip to avoid pain, meaning that when I go into an asian squat I must lean on the affected side to prevent my heel and butt from being misaligned. if I shift back towards the unaffected side I feel there is tugging, pain and tightness in the right hip.
Looking at the very high, rigid arches of my feet, I think that's giving my ankle and hip problems. The FAI surgery maybe helped some but it also causes me further dysfunction in the long run. Being non weight bearing isn't going to help all the stabilizing muscles. And their physical therapy intern with trying to read 8 different computer printouts with pictures of exercises and help 8 patients in the same half hour time slot wasnt adequate for my recovery.

Will the plan help someone who's been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of both hips and recommended for surgery? Although they didn't try any other potential solutions the first suggestion was surgery, which I don't agree with. Will the FAI fix potentially assist
Hi Shane, hope you are doing well. I am from Brazil, 31 years old, and was incidentally diagnosed with CAM-type FAI. Despite a certain level of wear in the hip detected in the MRI, I do not feel significant pain. I am not sure if this is because I was overweight by 40 kg during the pandemic, and I have always practiced jiu-jitsu and did gym workouts (weight training). However, I am afraid of the psychological terror that is often associated with FAI, that over the years my hip will fail and the only solution is surgery. I have no hip pain, no muscle pain, and no injuries, but I am afraid of developing osteoarthritis. Does the FAI Fix program help in preserving the hip for those who already have a certain level of wear but no pain at all? Thank you for your guidance.
Hello Victor! Good question. Yes, the FAI Fix can help you out with that. It is recommended for all types of hip pain or hip condition. Included is a money back guarantee, which would be another option in case it won't be the most compatible program for you. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Shane, the orthopaedic surgeon has said that I have this condition, and that lifting my femur up past 90 degrees and rotating internally( particularly under force on the left side) should be avoided completely, or I'll end up eventually needing a hip replacement, but I'm a Muay Thai Coach, so it's not exactly an option to completely stop flexion past 90, with internal rotation because so much of muay Thai is based on that very specific movement pattern. I'm thinking buying your program, or what would you suggest? Thanks!
@@johnnykleingeld I posted this a while ago, and let me tell you, you can definitely improve your movement and keep doing muay thai. Improving my external rotation of the hip, (through activation exercises, not as much through stretching) has helped tremendously. Don't let anyone tell you there's nothing you can do because it's the bone shape. You can definitely improve your movement. Be patient.. I did also try the program, but just keep investigating.

Well I had THR, because my hip bone was worn down. I am also much older than both of U 2. I also have As,OA,PA,Fibro, Pre-diabetes & COPD just to mention a few disorders I have. So it seems my lower back is now more of a problem as well as my serious neck pain from no more lordosis in my neck & piecing in my neck from C3 & C4 slipping but not unstable. (did the moving x-ray & it shows it isn't unstable. Nor the less I am in terrible neck pain almost all the time & can't tilt my head back to gurgle unless I bend my knees & tilt my who body backwards!!. I think a never abrasion I had that was messed up caused some of this neck pain. I was NOT on pain meds before & was able to tilt my head back without any neck pain. After this N.A. of my neck everything got worse! I have been on serious pain meds since. I am very upset & angry about how my neck is & how I have serious stiffness & constant pain even on pain meds. I am dirt poor so I am not privy to the very best PT care. I agree Massage is necessary to unlock tight muscles & get things back to more normal, but getting that cost a bundle! I won't get that deep massage I know would really help me get more function & help relieve much pain. It sadly does boil down to money & of course finding the right PT person who really knows how to help your body as it needs help. I'm in S'M Ca. do U know any decent deep massage people I could consider seeing to get say 1 hr. of massage from a trained pPT kind of person who really knows what to do with each persons body & ailments.? That is crucial the doing what is right for each person's body & not some pre-recorded program they use for everyone! I know it must B to each person body as it calls for certain type of massage & certain length of treatments to get something moving or changed for the better. ! size doesn't fit all as U well know. Anyhow, I like all U have said & think all avenues should B done before someone goes for hip surgery. it can't B undone as U said! I felt it was time after yrs. of pain & trying so many things that just didn't help me. I felt the longer I went without the surgery was just making my hip problem worse. I have old bones with the above mentioned bone, muscle & ligament issues.. I have always not been able to flex more move very well. Just not tilt with a limber body like dancers I would see or friends who could just sit down do the splits effortlessly & put their chest flat down on the floor without any real efforts & NO stretching beforehand. Just amazing. For me all the stretching in the world early allowed me to do the splits & it was much effort & pain to do so. Whereas my friend she could do it without batting an eye & certainly without effort or pain. She was born that way.I wasn't! So My dreams of being a ballerina were dashed from the get-go. My singing as well since my voice is so-so,& very low for a woman.I sang in choir & chorus in the Tenor section always, because I couldn't hit the high Alt. notes.. So my dreams of singing were also dashed. I also wanted to do acrobatics but again my joint limits killed that dream as well. I was however gifted in art & acting, but I really loved dancing & singing more.. Just not in the cards for me. I also wanted to play the piano, guitar & harp, but with my lung problems the harp was out & with my finger issues no guitar or piano for me either. Art isn't exactly an easy way to earn money nor is acting if U aren't big and famous. Also now as an older woman very little work comes my way. Even voice over is taken over mainly by famous people who's voices people already know so that film is killed off as well. I was wanting to do voice over since how U look never matters. U can B old & still do it, but it seems it is taken over by so many stars there isn't room for unknowns. Anyhow, would like to know of any ideas U may have for the likes of someone like me, old,ill & dirt poor..

Hi how are you befoar I had alot of paint in my hip I started doing your exercises and all my paint went away little by little. I was about to have a surgery but I told my doctor not to do my surgery at the moment.
I have mecanical problem with my hips ..i cant kick high properly....my knee dont goes up...i duscover that after two years of training split....my front split is close but my middle im too far and cant get diwn coz the shape of bone.....im amateur kickboxer....should i give up split training ?
Hey sam sam, I also have bone deformity and overtime I was able to perform the middle splits. Feel free to check some free youtube videos on my Channel for splits or you can check our website for a more thorough program on middle splits and front splits. Let me know if this helps you!
I'm so confused about my condition. I was diagnosed with spondylolysis last year but in the gym I was actually managing it very well as long as I was able to squat and deadlift. I actually did my deadlift PR after the scan lol Like the pain was more at that time when I went for the scan but later on it was very manageable. Orthopaedics never found any problems with moving my limbs and doing their tests but MRI showed it. Anyway ever since the lockdown the pain started to grow and I noticed doing one arm rows in the bent over position increased it twice for me. I have always had a painless snapping/popping in my hip joint there while moving the leg at a certain angle post my MRI scan last year but in the present condition all my muscles in the SI joint on the right side feel stiff. The pain seems to radiate down towards the knee too. Like I don't feel it's from meniscus but extending from the hip joint down to the knee. Even now the orthopedic couldn't find the symptoms of anything wrong with my spine and just sent me home saying it's musculoskeletal problem and that I need to perform stretches and yoga. Completely ignored everything I had to say about my SI joint. My piriformis muscle gets cramp now everytime I try to move my leg outwards abducting or whatever you call it. Those muscles on the hip outside feel tight, painful and gets cramps while doing that whereas if I layed down and put my legs in a figure 4 and applied force on the knee that hurts the inside. I'm clueless what I have but I'm very sure it's along the lines of this thing. To make it worse all the time looking at phone with my head resting against the wall laying down has given me neck and traps pain now on the same right side and this entire right side from neck, traps, back feel like they're full of trigger points now
Sounds like you have a lot going on! If I understood you correctly, there's some hip stuff, some back/SI joint stuff, and some posture/upper back stuff. I'd recommend you check out TheFAIFix.com (new version launching next week) for the hips, + the 45-day "Athletes Back" program for the SI joint pain and/or the 45-day "Desk Posture Therapy" program at GotROM.com Obviously, you probably have a priority (hips, back or posture), but those 3 programs very deeply address those 3 issues you mentioned. Hope that helps! -Shane
@@GotROM do you think I should insist for an MRI from my doc to scan the SI joint. It sounds weird but orthopaedics here don't really ever recommend me those tests. Even the last time when I went for an MRI that scanned my spondylolysis I had to insist my local physician. The orthopedic never wrote that for me and my doubts came out right eventually
Most of our exercises are pretty safe to do. Also, it would be best to listen to your body and stop when it signals pain that is a sign of extreme stress/tissue tear. Hope this helps! Let me know!

Janice - I have been doing the course for a couple of months now 6 days per week, and my hips are feeling a bit sore - should I back off a bit, carry on or just make 'easier' days?
I got diagnosed with FAI about a year ago. A chiropractor told me I couldn't do much about it, and an orthopaedic surgeon basically told me to stop internal rotation past 90 degrees with the femur, or I'd wear out my hip. Neither offered any solutions at all. They didn't care/couldn't help me. I thought it was hopeless at the beginning, but I tried a lot of different movements, over the course of many months, that have dramatically improved my FIA, almost to the point that I don't even notice it much anymore. To be honest I don't even use many of the movements from the FAI program, but they helped my find the movements that worked for me. It help pave the way to my recovery. I found the stretches didn't help as much as activation. Lengthening the anterior part of the hip, and activation of the glutes worked better for me. Strong external rotational movements of the hip, strengthening, activating, and increasing the range, on that particular movement, has been a huge factor fixing my FAI. It seems to give the muscles in the hip loads of control and creates clearance where the impingement is. If I spend a good 20 min doing mobility, (mainly mobility activation exercises) before training session, my FAI doesn't bother much at all, but it did take me at least 6 months to get to that point and change the way my hips moved. It takes perseverance, and patience, but I can honestly say I'm moving like I used to again. I just take longer to warm up, and I feel a bit stiffer, but I can almost say that my FAI is basically cured/well maintained. The whole idea that, "there's nothing you can do about FAI," is kind of bullshit. I'm living proof.
"Nice job! Glad you found the right combination of exercises for you! Keep it up!"
Hi I got mine fixed by acupuncture and then only after went to a chiropractor and found out I had FAI cap style. I'm going to see an orthopedic doctor soon, but it seems like the acupuncture already fixed it enough to give me full range of motion again.
Do you think the acupuncture released enough tension in the muscles and that fixed it?@@nmrn148
Thanks Shane, this is the best and most informative video on hip impingement and the fai syndrom I've come across so far. You're doing a great work, keep going. best from germany
Thank you, Hugo! Just trying to help those with the same issues I had! :-)
This was excellent agreed
For anyone out there! Buy his programme and or watch every single video!
It helps a lot if youre patient and comitted enough
Thanks for the kind words, brother! :-)
Ernst Lang I cant get into any of the positions on the FAI. I’m just in pain 24/7!! 🤷🏽♀️
I think it’s time for THR sadly. Or shall I say double THR. I can’t take the pain any longer. Dr. Won’t hand out pain meds...
This video is the bible of hip impingement! Great stuff, Shane!
Thank you! That was my intention! Which part helped you the most?
I'm the 500th like and am starting my fai fix journey today.
I've had pain for over 5 years now and its causing me problems in everyday life and in the gym and while doing mma.
Hopefully in 6-8 months I can return here and say that I've finally fixed it. I researched it and made a program for myself with the stretches,mobility and flexibility exercises along with exercises to strengthen my glutes,hams and other smaller hip muscles. My diet is gonna change too and I will eliminate all the toxic stuff like sugar and dairy.
I wish luck to anyone struggling with this even if you are young like me or in your 70's.
Awesome! Great to know that you're starting the program and I'm looking forward to how this would pan out for you. Dealing with FAI is really tough and the healing will take place with consistency. Let me know how it goes!
Hey man, how does it go?
How did the program go man?
This has honestly been the most informative, clear-cut, and positive information I've had in 3 years of dealing with this hip impingement misery.
It's also free advice. I've also spent so much money trying to fix it and have had some good therapies, but none that seem to be fixing me as quickly as I hoped.
I've also watched hundreds of UA-cam videos on hip impingement and how to fix it, to no avail.
Now I just happen to come across your video and...wow. This could be just the ticket to my recovery.
Everything you said resonates with me entirely!
Thank you for such a detailed and thorough video on this debilitating issue. I have honestly been losing the will in recent months. My life has been ruined by this disabling condition, and worse because I also have a knee issue on the opposite side.
I used to do a lot of yoga before I also tore my rotator cuff on my shoulder, plus injured the hip. Now, my body is one stiff lump of clay. I feel so restricted in my movements. It's honestly quite shocking to how flexible I was when practising yoga.
No yoga over the last 3 years has really not helped my situation, but I have been gently stretching more frequently recently. I will now aim to stretch daily and follow your advice on all you've advised! I do, however, walk a lot. I do keep moving, but I also do have days where I feel too scared to, as of the hip and knee pain.
This is the most positive I've felt about fixing myself in a long time.
Thank you, kind Sir 🙏
Hi Emma! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I'm glad to know that this helped you. I have the FAi Fix Program and some free videos here for FAI clients. Check them out and let me know if that helped you even more.
You are amazing coach - I've following Matt Hsu from Upright Health for about 7 years. I was not surprised when I found out you two were "buds". Thank you so much for all these teachings about FAI. I feel I'm becoming a better PT every day, thaks to you guys. Love your works! Iva, Denmark
Thank you for your kind opinion about me. Yes, we sure are, and it's great that you found some insights on my channel valuable for you. Is there anything else you want to see?
I have just started squatting with the 5x5SL program. People said i need to start squatting deeper, so I did. The impinchment pain followed in my right hip. I have never seen such an in depth video about anatomy/pathology and the different ways to aproach them. Thanks a lot for this man! I really apreciate you and the way you explain and aproach different situations!
Good to know! Thanks for the awesome feedback. Anything else I can help you with?
Update on your continuing with training with impingement?
OH LORD this's full Explanation thank you so much-needed 🙏🙏❤️
Lots of valuable information in this channel! It really does come down to making lifestyle changes, avoid surgery and pain meds. The body will heal and eliminate foods that cause inflammation.
Thanks! There's ALWAYS something you can do to improve. :-)
I can relate. CAM with FAI and interchondral cyst (which scared me initially). I've been a runner all my life and never had hip issues, however after running 2 marathons back to back I began having pretty severe groin pain. I haven't ran in 5 weeks and have been doing all the PT exercises and stretches' and finally feeling some relief. I've been rather discouraged because of the recovery time but watching your videos has given me hope. Thanks for the information and all of your videos.

Wie geht es dir heute, Jannes?
Im 25 and have been dealing with this for years and I feel like nothing i have been doing is helping. But you educating me gave me some hope
Thank you for your kind words. 🙏
I'm glad that I was able to offer value and hope for your condition. Let me know if there's anything else you need.
Good information but do you have a video showing exercises we should be trying to do along with stretching?
Yes! Absolutely! You can check them here: ua-cam.com/play/PLBek8msGJAxNtxFFhEBWrc9RBblottHyJ.html
I deeply appreciate the information Shane has provided here. I went to a joint doctor for help with my extremely painful left hip and an x-ray showed a bone spur in the hip. He immediately sent me to physical therapy, which I didn't understand when I wanted a quick fix. I've been cooperating with the therapist without having any faith at all in the process. After watching this video now I completely understand why the physical therapy and my attitude toward it is much improved. Can't thank you enough!

@@notmyworld44 anytime!
Thank you shane . You are truly a good coach. I agree with everything you said , regarding surgery.As there are good surgeon, there are also bad ones, worse the main surgeon can handle you to junior surgeon, after he sedated you to sleep. I believe this what happened to me. Twenty five years ago l had my ACL were torn, so l had ACL reconstruction. I could have live without ACL l was fine, except l had minor issues when l squats, otherwise I was fine, however someone advised me to have my have my ACL fixed through surgery, so l can play soccer again after surgery, since l couldn’t imagine life without playing soccer , l apt for surgery unfortunately the surgery made it worse, l lost extension in my knee, as consequence my hip was affected. So l agree ! surgery should be done, after one exhausted all the other non- surgical options, and make sure the senior surgeon doesn’t hand you to a newly graduated surgeon so he can practice on you, l am sorry to say, some doctors choose and pick on who to practice on based on, who they can get away with, they could see your name, occupation , nationality, l believe all this none- verbally, were used against me ,in fact the junior surgeon did most of the operation, junior surgeon l only met right before sedation. True story. Ask questions. Don’t put your body under a knife, until exhausting all questions. Thank You shane for the precise and concise , but informative video. Thank You!❤

Ah, you are/were Matt Hsu’s partner! I’ve watched many of his videos and bought the hip plan. Ironically I got - free to me thru my insurance plan - looped in to Hinge Health - and started following their plan. They sent me some goodies, I message and call my assigned Coach and doctor of PT and they seem to be huge proponents of movement and stretches, not surgery! Once I gather more goodies I may return to the upright health app, good forever, so why not? Great video here by the way…years later. LOL
Thank you so much! If you need anything, let me know!
this guy is genuine because he says it may take few months or years. He is right. Hip issues cant be fixed overnight. This is great research & personal experience stuff. He says both the journey & the result is enjoyable. This is the best.
@@GotROM the journey is not enjoyable at all
@@slowneil For sure! Going through the pain and doing consistent work is tough. I did enjoy learning more about what works and how I can improve daily. What are you working on?
@@GotROM im booked in to have the surgery in a couple days. I have been doing pt and fai fix for over a year and im still getting worse. I had a severe crush injury to my right big toe which caused nerve damage and numbness in my foot so my balance and gait is off. I did triathlon and for a few years and now my whole right side is constantly in pain. That's the hardest thing for me that many exercises you need to plant you big toe and turn knee out which just doesn't work for me.
@@GotROM i don't want to do the surgery necessarily but I feel like its worth a shot at this stage. I quit my job last year and spent all my time working on it this year to no end. Spent over $20,000 this year on specialists and have nothing to show for it.

Hello everyone,
I would like to share my story with FAI. Hope you guys can get some insights from it.
It started during quarantine with severe pain on my left hip joint. I thought it was due to stiffness first, so I did stretches for a while. But things got worse with stretches. Later, I went to see an orthopedist. And he diagnosed me with CAM FAI after an MRI. As that orthopedist was not specialized in hip joint problems, he recommended me seeing another one. The second orthopedist told me that actually it is both of my femurs that have CAM FAI. For him, this was good news as it showed that the right side tolerated the FAI implying the left can do that too. Therefore, he decided to stick with non-surgical treatments with telling me that surgery will be the option only if my joint does not respond to them.
Then he prescribed me a three month program. For the first month, he basically said no physical activity beyond daily routine. For the second month, he suggested me to go for long walks. And finally, he said go for runs in the last month. On top of that, he prescribed me to take an anti-inflamatuar painkiller (Cataflam) daily during that three months, and said come back after three months to tell if anything changed regarding pain.
I sticked with that plan for three months and felt a little bit better actually. However, when I did not take the painkillers, the situation was not that different from what it had been three months ago. I told him these and stopped taking Cataflam. Then he suggested me to try the last option before possible surgery. This was direct PRP injections into my left joint. I had 3 shots of them with 3 months interval between each.
Also, he recommended me to refrain from activities that puts weights directly on the hip joints during that time. So, I stopped doing leg presses and squats. Instead of them, I settled with leg extensions and leg curls at gym.
After sticking to that PRP schedule, now I am doing great as I feel pain maybe only one or two days each month. I have an active lifestyle as I go to gym at least 3 days per week even though I skip squats and leg presses in leg days.
Hey, that's good to know! Glad that you're recovering from FAI. There are always plenty of options to help you deal with FAI and I'm glad you found your path. Let me know if you need help with anything else!

Shane, I've also seen dietary inflammation as a partial factor... when I cut out gluten and dairy my efforts to increase hip rom (deep squat) improved rapidly
Interesting! It's all connected!

I was diagnosed w/FAI, labral tears, big cyst in the joint 15 yrs ago or so, now 71. I can be normal for weeks but when I move a certain way get a stabbing pain, when it flares up pain on movmt can persist for couple weeks. Hope to live out rest of my life w/out hip replacement, my joint lining is pretty good. I have had joint injections, sometimes help. Had some PT. I found a PT place where same therapist sees you every visit and stays with you for 50 minutes. All PHDs. Had 3 MRIs, also had a consult at Hosp for Special Surgery. You have to have a clean joint w/no degen changes at all before orthos will operate. I would not want a labral repair, the success rate even for the young not that great, the rehab is long. I have low back pain also, I wonder if my hip ROM limits affect the back.
Hey Frank, I see what you're saying! While the cause is not understood, some people with FAI do feel some back pain. I hear you about the surgery, and I would recommend trying out the FAI Fix. Let me know if this helps you!
You definitely helped give me tips anna a better understanding of my hip impingement. Thank you!!!

An absolutely brilliant video. A work of art if you will. Probably the best video I’ve seen on UA-cam. Well done 👍
Thank you! Have you checked out the program on the gotrom.com website?
Thank you Shane, my right hip has been having some weird feelings during external rotation and circumduction compared to my left hip for several years, its not super severe and I am able to do squats and hip hinging movements with resistance but it has been bothering me a lot. From watching your videos and sharing of experiences has brought me great comfort and gave me hope to this chronic condition of mine. I can feel your motivation and keep up the good work!
Hey that's awesome! How long have you been following the program? Keep me posted on your journey!
How is your progress now?
I was told I have FAI after years of doctors, X-rays, an MRI and tons of other test. I have sever pain in my right hip and mild pain in my left. I will also get back pain. My pelvis rotates so much that i have functioning scoliosis, always lean to the right and have to stand/walk with my hands on my back for support. I was told I should have hip abduction surgery to fix the problem. But it seems so many people have more pain after surgery. So I’m like what’s the point? Just to have some bone shaved? I just want to be in less pain and enjoy normal activities like road trips and hiking! I am now researching exercises hence how I got to your video! I did pt and they had me doing squats and lunges which made me insanely worse!
Edit: hip arthroscopy surgery
Oh wow! Sorry to hear about your experience. Yes, our FAI FIX should help you out. Check out thefaifix.com
You're awesome. Thank you very much.
Thanks, Jose! Have you tried the Free Ebook on my website? If you need more information feel free to download them at thefaifix.com. Hope that helps!
Will this work if a person had hip dysplasure from birth (needed to be double diapered?) My daughter, at 43 has tried PT, massage, yoga, pilates, weight training, and anything else you can imagine for 1 year. She also has a cyst in her hip joint and her doctors have convinced her the only thing that can get her back to hiking, playing pickleball and have a pain-free life is a total hip replacement. I am terrified for her- but she has been working hard on all other methods. Will your program help her?
I know how you feel, and I'm sorry that your daughter had to go through this. The FAI Fix Program works for all hip issues. We also offer a refund for situations where the FAI Fix is not the best solution for her. Hope that helps! Let me know!
I did an x-ray because I have being having a hip pain on my right leg for a while and Lowe back pain. I just got the result and they said I have a bilateral cranial acetabular retroversion in both hips legs my primary doctor said to go to orthopaedic surgeon to get the surgery but I’m really scared I don’t wanna do the surgery, I will go to an orthopaedic surgeon hope there is other alternative treatments.😭
I was in the same position and I also opted for the less invasive approach, which is the program I made for clients who is going through serious hip pain issues. Feel free to book a one-on-one consultation when you have some free time: www.gotrom.com/vip.

Thank you for the kind words Yelena. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Thank you so much for this info. I underwent Rt hip arthroscopy to fix my FAI it got better but not what I expected and I'm still struggling with Lt hip FAI . I do not want to undergo surgery for my Lt hip. I'm 58yrs old when younger I was an aerobic teacher and practice kickboxing. Know I'm a salsa dancer. It's a little difficult but I can do it not with the same flexibility as before, the one I used to have and want to recover so badly because most of the moves hurt and I love dancing. Seeing the variations to stretch is giving me hope. Thank you for the help, I will start with the stretches and hope in God I get better.

Great! How long have you been in rehab?
@@GotROM i did the last one in dec, 1 so since dec, 5 i guess, but honestly my hips still not mobile at all, it hurts to abduct wich is one of the main movements of calisthenics and i probably suffer with a kind of negative reflection of the muscle by not contractin in high intensity. I try to work the movemenst like internal and external rotations, but i think i did not emphasized strenght as well as i needed, so today i am working not just mobility, but low limb strenght as well.
@@poringobahey howmany surgery did you do for labrum? How are you now
@@umit777. man i did it one each side. Today, 3 yeas later i am way better, however, this is extremely individual. I practice mobility every day. I am a professional sport scientist so i did my own rehab. For me lets say i was 20% before surgery and 70%, maybe 75% after.
Hey,
I have surgery for a labrum tear/FAI repair next month. Physical therapy has not been successful for me and basic daily activities have been limited (walking > .5 miles, sitting >15 min, going up stairs, etc)... would a program like this help me get back to normal and perhaps add jogging back into my life?

I understand Cindy. You can check out some free pdf downloads for FAI, and let me know if it helps. Here's the link: www.thefaifix.com/free-hip-pain-guide
I've been dealing with back pain, buttock pain. Pain shooting down my left leg I'm the back part. Pain or soreness in the groin. Pain in my SI joint area. More to the left side. Cooling sensation going down my right leg depending how I'm positioned sometimes. If I'm sitting and depending on what type of surface. When standing I get a VERY SHARP AND BAD PAIN in my left hip flexor until I fully stand upright. Doesn't happen all the time but when it does boy on boy. Doctors said my pain is because I have severe arthritis in my left hip but I don't think that's my problem. There is times I can lift my left knee up in a sitting position (not much) and other times barely off the ground. If I'm laying in the bed and depending on how I'm positioned and I go to turn or something I get a pull or restriction in my groin area. I really believe I can fix this and get back to walking normal without wobbling or limping. I don't want surgery.

This is wonderful
You're wonderful! :-P Thanks for the kindness.
Hello Shane, I really would like your advice, I will go through all the other tests but in what situation may you shift towards the affected hip to avoid pain, meaning that when I go into an asian squat I must lean on the affected side to prevent my heel and butt from being misaligned. if I shift back towards the unaffected side I feel there is tugging, pain and tightness in the right hip.
I have as yet to meet a PT that will give me good support. Sad state.

Looking at the very high, rigid arches of my feet, I think that's giving my ankle and hip problems. The FAI surgery maybe helped some but it also causes me further dysfunction in the long run. Being non weight bearing isn't going to help all the stabilizing muscles. And their physical therapy intern with trying to read 8 different computer printouts with pictures of exercises and help 8 patients in the same half hour time slot wasnt adequate for my recovery.

Have severe pain for 1 week. Also in bed, while sleeping. Sitting is almost impossible.

So as a weight lifter should I just stay away from the gym? And soley focus on the hip program?
Hi John! Glad you asked. For the most part, you can do the exercises and tissue work from the FAI Fix Program. Pretty soon when you start to heal you can slowly integrate weight training.
Will the plan help someone who's been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of both hips and recommended for surgery? Although they didn't try any other potential solutions the first suggestion was surgery, which I don't agree with. Will the FAI fix potentially assist

What about acetabular dysplasia? Does what you talk about apply as well?
Hey Chris! Please send me an email at support@gotrom.com
Hi Shane, hope you are doing well.
I am from Brazil, 31 years old, and was incidentally diagnosed with CAM-type FAI. Despite a certain level of wear in the hip detected in the MRI, I do not feel significant pain. I am not sure if this is because I was overweight by 40 kg during the pandemic, and I have always practiced jiu-jitsu and did gym workouts (weight training). However, I am afraid of the psychological terror that is often associated with FAI, that over the years my hip will fail and the only solution is surgery. I have no hip pain, no muscle pain, and no injuries, but I am afraid of developing osteoarthritis.
Does the FAI Fix program help in preserving the hip for those who already have a certain level of wear but no pain at all? Thank you for your guidance.
Hello Victor! Good question. Yes, the FAI Fix can help you out with that.
It is recommended for all types of hip pain or hip condition.
Included is a money back guarantee, which would be another option in case it won't be the most compatible program for you.

Hi Shane, the orthopaedic surgeon has said that I have this condition, and that lifting my femur up past 90 degrees and rotating internally( particularly under force on the left side) should be avoided completely, or I'll end up eventually needing a hip replacement, but I'm a Muay Thai Coach, so it's not exactly an option to completely stop flexion past 90, with internal rotation because so much of muay Thai is based on that very specific movement pattern. I'm thinking buying your program, or what would you suggest? Thanks!
@did you Try the program? Asking as fellow Muay thai enthusiast Witze the Same problem
@@johnnykleingeld I posted this a while ago, and let me tell you, you can definitely improve your movement and keep doing muay thai. Improving my external rotation of the hip, (through activation exercises, not as much through stretching) has helped tremendously. Don't let anyone tell you there's nothing you can do because it's the bone shape. You can definitely improve your movement. Be patient.. I did also try the program, but just keep investigating.
@@bluemrgeniusschecking in with you a year later. How’s the hip ROM and pain doing? I recently was diagnosed with pistol grip which I think is cam impingement. My pain comes when I do an abductor movement like a side kick or middle splits or horse pose in yoga
Hi ! I am 16 years old. Since 3 years I have a problem which is the inability to bend the leg with the pain in the pelvic area.

Thanks for this video :) I get my right shoulder bursitis/tendonitis flaring up when my right hip goes wrong. Seems it's all connected?
Well I had THR, because my hip bone was worn down. I am also much older than both of U 2. I also have As,OA,PA,Fibro, Pre-diabetes & COPD just to mention a few disorders I have.
So it seems my lower back is now more of a problem as well as my serious neck pain from no more lordosis in my neck & piecing in my neck from C3 & C4 slipping but not unstable.
(did the moving x-ray & it shows it isn't unstable. Nor the less I am in terrible neck pain almost all the time & can't tilt my head back to gurgle unless I bend my knees & tilt my who body backwards!!.
I think a never abrasion I had that was messed up caused some of this neck pain.
I was NOT on pain meds before & was able to tilt my head back without any neck pain. After this N.A. of my neck everything got worse! I have been on serious pain meds since.
I am very upset & angry about how my neck is & how I have serious stiffness & constant pain even on pain meds.
I am dirt poor so I am not privy to the very best PT care.
I agree Massage is necessary to unlock tight muscles & get things back to more normal, but getting that cost a bundle!
I won't get that deep massage I know would really help me get more function & help relieve much pain.
It sadly does boil down to money & of course finding the right PT person who really knows how to help your body as it needs help.
I'm in S'M Ca. do U know any decent deep massage people I could consider seeing to get say 1 hr. of massage from a trained pPT kind of person who really knows what to do with each persons body & ailments.?
That is crucial the doing what is right for each person's body & not some pre-recorded program they use for everyone! I know it must B to each person body as it calls for certain type of massage & certain length of treatments to get something moving or changed for the better.
! size doesn't fit all as U well know.
Anyhow, I like all U have said & think all avenues should B done before someone goes for hip surgery. it can't B undone as U said!
I felt it was time after yrs. of pain & trying so many things that just didn't help me.
I felt the longer I went without the surgery was just making my hip problem worse.
I have old bones with the above mentioned bone, muscle & ligament issues..
I have always not been able to flex more move very well.
Just not tilt with a limber body like dancers I would see or friends who could just sit down do the splits effortlessly & put their chest flat down on the floor without any real efforts & NO stretching beforehand.
Just amazing. For me all the stretching in the world early allowed me to do the splits & it was much effort & pain to do so.
Whereas my friend she could do it without batting an eye & certainly without effort or pain. She was born that way.I wasn't!
So My dreams of being a ballerina were dashed from the get-go. My singing as well since my voice is so-so,& very low for a woman.I sang in choir & chorus in the Tenor section always, because I couldn't hit the high Alt. notes..
So my dreams of singing were also dashed.
I also wanted to do acrobatics but again my joint limits killed that dream as well.
I was however gifted in art & acting, but I really loved dancing & singing more..
Just not in the cards for me.
I also wanted to play the piano, guitar & harp, but with my lung problems the harp was out & with my finger issues no guitar or piano for me either.
Art isn't exactly an easy way to earn money nor is acting if U aren't big and famous.
Also now as an older woman very little work comes my way.
Even voice over is taken over mainly by famous people who's voices people already know so that film is killed off as well.
I was wanting to do voice over since how U look never matters. U can B old & still do it, but it seems it is taken over by so many stars there isn't room for unknowns.
Anyhow, would like to know of any ideas U may have for the likes of someone like me, old,ill & dirt poor..

Absolutely. I've had FAI for over 14+ years and I'm better than ever. I take care of my body and so can you.
Came to learn but stopped at "trigger points" and "massage" :/
How so?
Great video but you don't actually demonstrate any of the stretches and excersises

thanks!
Of course! Have you checked the program?
I'm so confused about my condition. I was diagnosed with spondylolysis last year but in the gym I was actually managing it very well as long as I was able to squat and deadlift. I actually did my deadlift PR after the scan lol Like the pain was more at that time when I went for the scan but later on it was very manageable. Orthopaedics never found any problems with moving my limbs and doing their tests but MRI showed it. Anyway ever since the lockdown the pain started to grow and I noticed doing one arm rows in the bent over position increased it twice for me. I have always had a painless snapping/popping in my hip joint there while moving the leg at a certain angle post my MRI scan last year but in the present condition all my muscles in the SI joint on the right side feel stiff. The pain seems to radiate down towards the knee too. Like I don't feel it's from meniscus but extending from the hip joint down to the knee. Even now the orthopedic couldn't find the symptoms of anything wrong with my spine and just sent me home saying it's musculoskeletal problem and that I need to perform stretches and yoga. Completely ignored everything I had to say about my SI joint. My piriformis muscle gets cramp now everytime I try to move my leg outwards abducting or whatever you call it. Those muscles on the hip outside feel tight, painful and gets cramps while doing that whereas if I layed down and put my legs in a figure 4 and applied force on the knee that hurts the inside. I'm clueless what I have but I'm very sure it's along the lines of this thing. To make it worse all the time looking at phone with my head resting against the wall laying down has given me neck and traps pain now on the same right side and this entire right side from neck, traps, back feel like they're full of trigger points now
Sounds like you have a lot going on! If I understood you correctly, there's some hip stuff, some back/SI joint stuff, and some posture/upper back stuff.
I'd recommend you check out TheFAIFix.com (new version launching next week) for the hips, + the 45-day "Athletes Back" program for the SI joint pain and/or the 45-day "Desk Posture Therapy" program at GotROM.com
Obviously, you probably have a priority (hips, back or posture), but those 3 programs very deeply address those 3 issues you mentioned.
Hope that helps!
-Shane
@@GotROM do you think I should insist for an MRI from my doc to scan the SI joint. It sounds weird but orthopaedics here don't really ever recommend me those tests. Even the last time when I went for an MRI that scanned my spondylolysis I had to insist my local physician. The orthopedic never wrote that for me and my doubts came out right eventually
Thanks for sharing but, can i use this exercise because I've bilateral osteoarthritis?
Most of our exercises are pretty safe to do. Also, it would be best to listen to your body and stop when it signals pain that is a sign of extreme stress/tissue tear. Hope this helps! Let me know!
