I was the same pelvic and hip fractures car accident. 28 years later still same problems with spinal degeneration with hip problems. Arthritis. I get my hips sorted with physically therapist. Next day I am back to same problem again. It’s hell on earth pain. Back to hip doctor.
Hey man THANKS A LOT! i ve been bullied & smbarassed cuz of this my right misallignment for 3 yrs m in high school so u can imagine my sufferings but today everything changed u r some one sent by god to me no words to express tbh God bless ya :)
hoooooooly crap I've had issues with my lower back because of this, just did this stretch for around 30 seconds, bam, instantly fixed the twist. I'm floored that this actually worked. This is the good shit.
@@taoofmj is real ? i got one of my legs more short than the other maybe due to rotation pelvis and some problem in the gluteus medium....one iliac more up than the other...u believe this can work it out to fix than uneven hips and legs lenght differences..
You’re an absolute life saver. Pure luck brought me here and you have done more in 5 minutes and a 30 second stretch than so many different chiropractors and physios
dealing with this problem, you are 110% correct , i have been doing these stretches and in need of a lot of reinforcement. However, you went great into detail. Thank you.
I’ve been struggling with pelvic rotation for years. After activity I end up in excruciating pain. Today was one of those days. I came across your video and praise the Lord!!! This stretch works!! I feel like this could be the beginning of the end to years of suffering. Thank you so very much!!
OMG this video just solved a decade long mystery for me. I'm rotated toward the right side and flexed at that hip. I never suspected that this was a quad issue but the stretches have made an immediate impact.
Wow only 30 seconds stretching and my posture changed completely. I've never even noticed my left quads being under complete tension the entire time. A full year I have been struggling to find the fix to the feeling of my torso being rotated, the feeling of walking more on one leg than the other, lower back pain (both this and pelvic tilt). I would have never thought any of these problems are because of tight quads, hell, if I didn't come across this video, I'd probably be walking around like this for a long time. Thanks a lot.
Youri K. Yo I’m struggling to build a body rn. This problem is literally the only thing that stops me from going heavier with zee weights. Imma try it out. Really best of luck to you man. I know this is kinda like an unknown struggle u feel like no one else goes thru.
OMYGOSH DUDE THANK YOU. I've noticed my rotated hip for a long while now but i could never seem to pin point what the problem was. I stretched out my hip flexors (like you said), my glutes and even my abdominals but nothing worked. I never knew or noticed how tight my quads were until i tried the stretch but it was magical man. After painfully holding it for just 30 seconds, i noticed a considerable amount of change in my gait and how my hips felt. Thanks again dude. Really appreciate it!
drummer with fibromyalgia, MCTD, and syringemelia who never excersiced or learned stretches due to being in a very poor religious private school... sitting all day in class, no gym program, sitting while playing drums, which was good cardio but overdeveloped some areas while atrophied others... Severe imbalance, rotated pelvis, due to the thing I call a giant knot that you call a quad. So thanks for this. People said to me, don't you stretch? You gotta stretch after drumming... Turns out I had no clue what stretching is. wow does my left side feel happy, after 20 seconds doing this ONE TIME> can imagine if I do this every day!
omg i cant believe it. it really helped!! I’ve been trying to fix my hip for weeks now, spending hours on the internet researching it and trying different exercises/stretches and this one is the only one that really helped!! Thank you so much!!
oh my goodness! thank you! I'm always looking for new/better stretches for myself and my massage clients. this feels like heaven compared to the standing quad stretch
What I found is that I was low in Magnesium and B12 which negatively impacted my muscles, nerves and blood flow and that caused my muscles to tighten up and go into spasm. That then led to my rotated and elevated hips not to mention neck and upper back pain along with anxiety. I had to correct the deficiency in my minerals and vitamins before the stretch would do anything for me. I then started to get proper muscle function and my stretching is now making a difference for my muscles.
Oh and I highly recommend drinking lots of water during your stretching and get yourself some magnesium oil as well. Your muscles will love you for it. 80% of you are deficient in that mineral.
Thank u, Wow, out of all the Exercises out there to correct Tilted Palvis The one you showed in this video worked By far the best!!! and stopped the pain!! so thank you again for sharing!
Hi Matt, Thanks for such an educational video. I hope you keep making these. I wanted to ask you what you'd do to diagnose and treat a lateral pelvic tilt. Thanks!
all these times I thought I had lateral pelvic tilt. My hips looked more rotated to the right. I used to love standing with 1 leg idk why, and I loved sleeping on one side everynight.
When you have a lateral pelvic tilt, you also have a pelvic rotation. One comes with another. You may have both. but if you correct one thing the other should improve by itself. You should correct your Lateral Shift if you have any. And check your Quadratus Lumborum for tightness and your Glutes for weakness. You can do so with The Trendelenburg Test. And then you can Stretch your Quadratus Lumborum for tightness and Strengthen your glutes.
@@Ronaldo-se3ff I do have a tight QL on my right. Only on the right. Maybe try to stretch the right quads with the stretch from the video and strength my weak glutes? Thanks in advance
Just tried this and I think it helped. A titled pelvis has been plaguing me for months, and I've been doing an hour of PT a day! I don't want to get my hopes up and think this is the answer I've been looking for, but so far it's looking good! Thank you so much
Thanks so much for this helpful tip but i have a question : which side do you stretch? If you have a right rotation do you stretch the right side or the left?
Great info but just wondering does this stretch the iliopsoas at the same time. Often when people have a pelvic misalignment it involves the glutes,quads, quadratus lumborum and iliopsoas.
So does stretching the right quad mean that your right pelvis will rotate towards the back side, hence your example of stretching the right side quad is for Right AIC right? (where your pelvis is rotated to the left?)
I can't believe this actually helps realign the pelvis pretty much instantly. Of course, pelvis will go back to weird position due to many reasons (unbalanced muscles that were there to compensate your rotated pelvis, muscle memory etc).... but this is an amazing exercise to do during the day to help restore proper posture. I'll continue to do this, and will give an update later. Thank you!
Any update? I fell off my deck a couple weeks ago and my lower back has been absolutely wrecked. I just tried this out and it immediately felt so much better. Hopefully it keeps up please update with how you are now?
@@markpfeffer7487 hey! So, it does bring relief but does not fix the underlying issue for me. I think you might have better luck though, as I've had my rotated hip for about 15 years now. This means my torso has also rotated with time as my body tried to compensate everything that was/is wrong with it. In short, I have a lot of work to do. I'm currently working on it with a physical therapist. The stretch is useful but does not solve stuff for me. I am also not only doing this stretch, so I cannot say all relief comes 100% from this alone. But it does feel incredibly good right after. This stretch brings out most relief for me when done before sleeping, and is most useful before exercise. I don't do this stretch every day. Probably around 4 times a week :) Hopefully this helps you!! Take care of yourself and make sure to have a doctor look at that if it continues to ache 🤗
@@TaeminnieLee yoooooooo real talk thanks for the response. I'm gonna try and keep doing this one (simply because it brings the most relief immediately afterwards) and try to see a chiro/kinesthesiologist soon, insurance allowing. I truly don't know what exactly is going on with me physiologically, I do know the top portion of my torso is shifted to the right of my hips and waist, and this was not the case before I fell (landed on my lower right rib, not sure if it cracked or not but it was a pretty hard impact). So far this is the only stretch that brings (temporary) relief. I'm gonna keep trying it and also try and get some professional help, just really really worried about having to pay for an xray (USA problems, 1,000+ dollars in network D: )
@@markpfeffer7487 1000 usd for an x-ray??? Sorry but wtf? I think I have to pay less than 1/10th of that for an MRI. I had some rays the other day and I think I was charged like 8 bucks 😳 In my country of course. I hope insurance covers this stuff for you... feel better!! The body is way more resilient than we give it credit for haha. I've been doing PT for about 2 months now and I'm a different person. Still working on stuff because I started really fucked up... aka waking up in the middle of the night with pain and could not sit, stand up or lay down for long. They all gave me pain so I had to be rotating between these very often haha. Sitting was the worst one. After 2 months I can do most things painlessly (why I waited so long is a mystery), but my posture is still a work in progress 😝 so... if I can get pain relief from this mess, I'm sure you will too!!
Thank you so much. I could not believe how tight my quads were with that stretch and how uneven they were. After three stretches on each side I am standing so straight with much less pain. Great exercise.
Whoaaaaaaaaa. I never thought this would work. On my right back side I always felt a bump which was my pelvis bone. My left side was always forward. Doing this stretch help so much! Thank you!!
Phenomenal. I've been suffering terribly and searching & searching everything I can find for relief. Just did 3 sets, 30 sec each leg. (And yes, one side was waaaayyyyy easier than other). HUGE, HUGE, HUGE relief ALREADY!!!!! I am so excited, thank you, thank you, thank you!
bro, i been suffering a lot and seen the chiro like 15 sessions and going nowhere, and even like getting worse, and i did this and feel the same way. How are u doing now?
Hi Doc, I have been doing these correction workouts from sometime but I believe my sleeping postures are hindering the complete correction of my pelvis. Can you please suggest what postures/positions should I avoid or should I sleep in to get in line with correction?
How did you practice it exactly? That means how many time did you spend in each stretch position and for how long di you train it? Thank you for your gently feedback.
i had pain in the right lower side of my back for 2 months, i couldnt bend over or straighten my right leg while sitting because of it, and then i noticed that my hip was a little rotated, i did this stretch for 1 minute, felt some burning at the front of my thigh while doing it and when i got up i felt my lower back pain has decreased dramatically i can bend and touch my toes again but still have to bend my knees, not fully recovered yet, thanks so much for this video it helped alot
I've tried various stretches, exercises, mobility drills etc. But this is the first time I've felt a real, tangible difference in my pelvis after doing this stretch. I've never paid attention to my quads. My pelvis has been rotated for a long time, and as a result my entire body is out of alignment, from my legs to my neck. I'm going to keep doing this stretch and hope that it will aid me in fixing everything else. Thank you!
I think my pelvis is rotated on the other axis. Are there different exercises/stretches for this? I have substantial intermittent sciatic pain and pain in my knee when I run…
Very good video Matt! You gave wonderful explanation as to why pelvises rotate. I have another question for you. Does that same type of rotation lead to pain at the PSIS in the lower back?
This guy is funny! Great tip, I noticed when I wear heels to work that I could hear my walk clicking unevenly on the concrete floor. Hope this fixes it.
QUESTION! So you do that exercise with the foot against the wall.....you do that with the leg/pelvis that sticks forward right, so in time it moves backwards again, making the symetry with your feet and pelvis when you look down
Hi I'm desperate for some information on hip dysfunction. I'm a serious golfer (hit about 3000 golf balls a week) but I also have a 2 year old which requires allot of lifting/carrying. I have allot of pain in the right side of my hip, I think around the bulgy bone of the femur. But also on the inside of the groin. It's hard to open my leg without pain in the adductors maybe but they just won't stretch. I'm assuming they're holding on because they're fighting the other side. My pain pattern send to follow either glute medius or the it band but stretching those isn't doing the trick. The most tender points when I took around on a tennis ball are the same two I just mentioned. But no relief is coming from doing that. Any insights on what way I need to stretch? I'm assuming my pelvis is rotated but not sure which way to go since everything seems to be in spasm in my hip area front and side. Another clue may be some occasional pain in my knee and right side of my right calf. I appreciate anything you can think of. Thank you.
Thank you 😘!!!- I was in a recliner and had to get up quick because of issue outside and didn’t close recliner but hopped off and boy went into an unreal back / hip pain spasm. I could feel this twisted sensation on the left when walking and felt like I was walking like Igor 😊. Less than a minute of this stretch that twisted feeling was gone! Thank you!
Hi i have a way that also fixes my Rotated Pelvis I have the videos in my channel (Practice 4-444) But I cannot include links. Please check the video out. (Practice 4) Earnestly hope it can work/help with your Rotated Pelvis as for mine If not its okay Ty, Like and share
I have uneven hips and my back went into spasm a few days ago. I did this stretch for each quad for 30 seconds and I feel a big difference! This really works. (I sound like a testimonial for a cheesy infomercial.)
Can a deficit in the internal rotation of one hip causes this problem? I’m having this issue for a year now and I realized that my internal rotation of my left hip is less than the right hip...
My right foot was overly pronated inward, which caused knee pain and made it difficult to run. There's no problems with my feet, so I realized that it had to be a hip alignment issue. This stretch definitely helped fix the pronation in my foot the most and is a farcry from the standing quad stretch that I was using. I also follow up this stretch with some some other stretches and exercises (shown below). I was initially did those other ones first, but I feel that tight quad muscles limits the effectiveness and mobility you get out of those. ua-cam.com/video/krGkT8NymA4/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/QYoIaH6-I3M/v-deo.html
Soooo helpful!!! I've suffered from this forever and have done the stretches three days in a row now and what a difference. Also, LOVE this humour you add in there!!!!
+Upright Health Could anterior pelvic tilt be the cause for internal rotated knees? I'm training my external rotators, but it didn't improve my knee rotation. This stretch is very hard to do for me, but I try to work on it now.
hey i have this same problem and i tried this exercise and it works for me. i fell that my left leg forward than right one while walking. i do this and feel good now . thank you 😊 10% unevenness is remaining what to do for that and can i run with this ?
That's interesting, focusing on that rather than hip rotators. I settle into a position that's quite rotated to the left. In fact it seems all of my left hip musculature is tight overall and much tighter than right side. My transverse abduction is absolutely horrendous.
You are not explaining which quad to strech. Shall I strech my right quad (just like in the vid) if my pelvis is rotated anticlockwise (looking form above)..?Thanks
If you're rotated anticlockwise (as in, your right side is forward) then it's likely that the left quad is tight and could do with stretching/release :)
I've had a roted hip for quite a while, years even, it really messes with my squat especially. Tried all kinds of things to fix it, talked to "professionals", googled a bunch of things etc. All the advice I've gotten so far has mostly just been about the hip flexors, which I don't really feel any difference in between to two sides. But after torturing my hip flexors (for longer than I care to admit) anyway I found this video. On one side I can easily sit like you are doing in the video, on the other side I can hardly get my chest off the knee without feeling like my quad is about to tear :P
thanks for this. My physio called this an anterior/posterior tilt. One hip was going one way one hip the other. have you any exercises to improve mobility in this area?
Let's suppose my hips are rotated clockwise (according to my POV), in other words the hip's left side is ahead of the right... which side should be stretched more?
I get pain in the left hip-inguinal region and then directly in the medial side of the left heel. I'm tired of the constant pain. Can any exercise help? I've tried physiotherapy in the past. Nothing has helped.
Based on what he showed us in the video, I think he'd say your left quad is tighter than your right quad. I also think he'd recommend that you stretch both, though. This is consistent with my own experience, although I didn't understand this until I saw this video. When I look down at my exposed naval, the left side of my pelvis always seems to be a bit forward of the right side. And when I try to do the standard standing quad stretch (flex my knee to bring my foot up toward my butt, then pull the foot upward gently with my hand), I notice that it's always harder to reach my right foot with my hand than it is to reach my left foot. This suggests that my right quad is tighter than my left, which may explain why the left side of my pelvis is forward of the right side. Or at least that's my take on this interesting video.
Hi Thankyou very much for your segment, much appreciated. Question can one do the stretch on both even if one leg is longer. Did it on the tighter side(long leg) but the other side is also very tight.
This was Great! I sure did feel a bigger stretch here. This one, along with the lateral ham you posted, sure seem they're leading me in a helpful direction out of this lower lumbar mess.
Thanks Matt. This tip is a real lifesaver. My left hip is pulled way back and I have sciatica down the right leg. I also have bowlegs and the right leg is more bowed than the left. I guess that makes the right leg shorter? I started stretching my left quadricep while standing for 15 seconds per your recommendation. At first not much happened but then I added a second per day. When I reached 45 seconds I started to notice less pain in the right leg and my left hip straightening out as well. It is by no means a "cure" but it helps a lot. I'm not sure if it is a "Bandaid" as now it does appear as if my left shoulder is turned more to the left. It may not be as it might just seem that way to me. Do you have any stretches to reset the SI joint or to realign the entire spine with the hips? My back is fine for weeks and then it will go bad for a few days. I don't want to get surgery. I tried chiropractors with mixed success. Once again thanks for the great assistance. Your videos do a nice job of combining knowledge with humor.
Hi! Thank you for the helpful video. I found out I have my left hip rotated towards the right, that mean my left me is more forward when I look it from above with my feet pointing straight. My belly button is also rotated a bit to the right. In this case should I stretch more my left quad and strength my glute on the right side right? I usually have tight right hamstring too...
Happy Labor Day sir!! Just wondering if Tight Quads on Right and Tight Hams simultaneously might be acting in a toxic harmony? I have spent 3 decades spending a lot of free time in Forward Leaning Stance in Martial Arts. I really appreciate your help!! Thank you!
Where do I begin, other than with a thank you. I appreciate the honest information, "if your not going to hold the stretch at least 30 seconds don't bother." Some people don't realize the importance of this. Gotta love the humor. Apologizing for having to look at his crotch region. Suggesting some are embarrassed and don't want their friends or family knowing. And those of you who can't identify with "Pain Sucks" count your blessings!!
This is really weird. This does help but then within several minutes it goes back to where it was. I did it twice and slowly, it reverts back... What?? What do I do now??
Wow! Major pain for weeks on and off. Just did this stretch and wondered how I know which side to do? My pelvis is farther forward on right so I stretched right quad, when I stood up I could feel it was more forward that before! Wow. But still not sure that I'm supposed to stretch the right one. Stretch the one on the same side that the pelvis is too far forward? Thanks for the video!
been dealing with this for 3 years now and been to a plethora of PT facilities and not one person could ever figure this out lol Ill give it a shot and see if it does anything or if im too far gone
i have a rotated hip on the left side. and my left leg is shorter. both my legs were not like this before. will this exercise help to correct my leg difference? i did my research my situation is due to adaptive muscle shortening.
My hip is rotated in the counter clockwise direction (my right side of the hip is to the front). Do I keep my left or right leg on the wall? Also when a hip is rotated, usually it is accompanied by hip tilt (my right hip tilted down). I hope this exercise would be a miracle exercise to fix both🤞.
Thank you 😊 Can you tell me if you should do both sides I have one side on my right that’s forward should I do three sets on one side and one sit on the other side
Thank you so much for this video. I had a tilted pelvis, and doing this somehow helped me. I did this exercises before sleeping, and slept on side that was tilted upwards and needed to be fixed. Woke up with it almost gone.

In short, I have a lot of work to do. I'm currently working on it with a physical therapist. The stretch is useful but does not solve stuff for me. I am also not only doing this stretch, so I cannot say all relief comes 100% from this alone. But it does feel incredibly good right after.
This stretch brings out most relief for me when done before sleeping, and is most useful before exercise. I don't do this stretch every day. Probably around 4 times a week :)
Hopefully this helps you!! Take care of yourself and make sure to have a doctor look at that if it continues to ache 🤗
@@TaeminnieLee yoooooooo real talk thanks for the response. I'm gonna try and keep doing this one (simply because it brings the most relief immediately afterwards) and try to see a chiro/kinesthesiologist soon, insurance allowing.
I truly don't know what exactly is going on with me physiologically, I do know the top portion of my torso is shifted to the right of my hips and waist, and this was not the case before I fell (landed on my lower right rib, not sure if it cracked or not but it was a pretty hard impact). So far this is the only stretch that brings (temporary) relief. I'm gonna keep trying it and also try and get some professional help, just really really worried about having to pay for an xray (USA problems, 1,000+ dollars in network D: )
@@markpfeffer7487 1000 usd for an x-ray??? Sorry but wtf? I think I have to pay less than 1/10th of that for an MRI. I had some rays the other day and I think I was charged like 8 bucks 😳 In my country of course. I hope insurance covers this stuff for you... feel better!! The body is way more resilient than we give it credit for haha. I've been doing PT for about 2 months now and I'm a different person. Still working on stuff because I started really fucked up... aka waking up in the middle of the night with pain and could not sit, stand up or lay down for long. They all gave me pain so I had to be rotating between these very often haha. Sitting was the worst one. After 2 months I can do most things painlessly (why I waited so long is a mystery), but my posture is still a work in progress 😝 so... if I can get pain relief from this mess, I'm sure you will too!!
Thank you so much. I could not believe how tight my quads were with that stretch and how uneven they were. After three stretches on each side I am standing so straight with much less pain. Great exercise.
Whoaaaaaaaaa. I never thought this would work. On my right back side I always felt a bump which was my pelvis bone. My left side was always forward. Doing this stretch help so much! Thank you!!
Phenomenal. I've been suffering terribly and searching & searching everything I can find for relief. Just did 3 sets, 30 sec each leg. (And yes, one side was waaaayyyyy easier than other). HUGE, HUGE, HUGE relief ALREADY!!!!! I am so excited, thank you, thank you, thank you!
bro, i been suffering a lot and seen the chiro like 15 sessions and going nowhere, and even like getting worse, and i did this and feel the same way. How are u doing now?
Hi Doc, I have been doing these correction workouts from sometime but I believe my sleeping postures are hindering the complete correction of my pelvis. Can you please suggest what postures/positions should I avoid or should I sleep in to get in line with correction?
This has helped me so much I can’t thank you enough brother
How did you practice it exactly? That means how many time did you spend in each stretch position and for how long di you train it? Thank you for your gently feedback.
More strengthen and stretch my hips and pelvis, i felt rotation got worse, but this video works to me finally!! Thank you very much!!
Hope this helps for those after corrective scoliosis surgery! Thanks!
i had pain in the right lower side of my back for 2 months, i couldnt bend over or straighten my right leg while sitting because of it, and then i noticed that my hip was a little rotated, i did this stretch for 1 minute, felt some burning at the front of my thigh while doing it and when i got up i felt my lower back pain has decreased dramatically i can bend and touch my toes again but still have to bend my knees, not fully recovered yet, thanks so much for this video it helped alot
update: it did relief pain completey but only for a short time, my pain is back and i might go to a chiropractor or something
Great Vid! What seems easy to you actually solves huge problems for me! Where are you practicing? Thanks again!
I've tried various stretches, exercises, mobility drills etc. But this is the first time I've felt a real, tangible difference in my pelvis after doing this stretch. I've never paid attention to my quads. My pelvis has been rotated for a long time, and as a result my entire body is out of alignment, from my legs to my neck. I'm going to keep doing this stretch and hope that it will aid me in fixing everything else. Thank you!
I totally understand how you feel.
I love your humor. THis was VERY helpful thank you
This feels SO GOOD !!! my right side always feels swollen and sharp pains. This actually doesn’t hurt at all and feels amazing 😭 ty
Good work man I felt little bit change in a single day 💪 well done continue 💯 👍 ur job
I think my pelvis is rotated on the other axis. Are there different exercises/stretches for this?
I have substantial intermittent sciatic pain and pain in my knee when I run…
Very good video Matt! You gave wonderful explanation as to why pelvises rotate. I have another question for you. Does that same type of rotation lead to pain at the PSIS in the lower back?
This guy is funny! Great tip, I noticed when I wear heels to work that I could hear my walk clicking unevenly on the concrete floor. Hope this fixes it.
QUESTION! So you do that exercise with the foot against the wall.....you do that with the leg/pelvis that sticks forward right, so in time it moves backwards again, making the symetry with your feet and pelvis when you look down
Hi I'm desperate for some information on hip dysfunction. I'm a serious golfer (hit about 3000 golf balls a week) but I also have a 2 year old which requires allot of lifting/carrying. I have allot of pain in the right side of my hip, I think around the bulgy bone of the femur. But also on the inside of the groin. It's hard to open my leg without pain in the adductors maybe but they just won't stretch. I'm assuming they're holding on because they're fighting the other side. My pain pattern send to follow either glute medius or the it band but stretching those isn't doing the trick. The most tender points when I took around on a tennis ball are the same two I just mentioned. But no relief is coming from doing that. Any insights on what way I need to stretch? I'm assuming my pelvis is rotated but not sure which way to go since everything seems to be in spasm in my hip area front and side. Another clue may be some occasional pain in my knee and right side of my right calf. I appreciate anything you can think of. Thank you.
Thank you 😘!!!- I was in a recliner and had to get up quick because of issue outside and didn’t close recliner but hopped off and boy went into an unreal back / hip pain spasm. I could feel this twisted sensation on the left when walking and felt like I was walking like Igor 😊. Less than a minute of this stretch that twisted feeling was gone! Thank you!
It's a good technique, really helped me, how many times you should do it? It also helped me in sciatica.
Thank you for the advice.....My Pelvis is chronically twisted to the right....I'm going to be giving this a try.
Hi i have a way that also fixes my Rotated Pelvis
I have the videos in my channel (Practice 4-444)
But I cannot include links. Please check the video out. (Practice 4)
Earnestly hope it can work/help with your Rotated Pelvis as for mine
If not its okay
Ty, Like and share
I have uneven hips and my back went into spasm a few days ago. I did this stretch for each quad for 30 seconds and I feel a big difference! This really works. (I sound like a testimonial for a cheesy infomercial.)
Can a deficit in the internal rotation of one hip causes this problem? I’m having this issue for a year now and I realized that my internal rotation of my left hip is less than the right hip...
So, if my right hips is more forward it means my right rectus fermoris is tighter and needs to be stretch?
yes
if your right hip is more forward, u stretch your right leg like the one against the wall in the video, the one with the knee on the soft rug
My right foot was overly pronated inward, which caused knee pain and made it difficult to run. There's no problems with my feet, so I realized that it had to be a hip alignment issue. This stretch definitely helped fix the pronation in my foot the most and is a farcry from the standing quad stretch that I was using. I also follow up this stretch with some some other stretches and exercises (shown below). I was initially did those other ones first, but I feel that tight quad muscles limits the effectiveness and mobility you get out of those.

Soooo helpful!!! I've suffered from this forever and have done the stretches three days in a row now and what a difference. Also, LOVE this humour you add in there!!!!
I can not do this because is any other way we can do that please help me I am in very bad position thanks in advance God Bless you
Thank you for your video!! What about after hip replacement ? I never had a rotated hip and now I do ! Any recommendations ? Thank you in advance!
+Upright Health Could anterior pelvic tilt be the cause for internal rotated knees? I'm training my external rotators, but it didn't improve my knee rotation. This stretch is very hard to do for me, but I try to work on it now.
hey i have this same problem and i tried this exercise and it works for me. i fell that my left leg forward than right one while walking. i do this and feel good now . thank you 😊
10% unevenness is remaining what to do for that and can i run with this ?
That's interesting, focusing on that rather than hip rotators. I settle into a position that's quite rotated to the left. In fact it seems all of my left hip musculature is tight overall and much tighter than right side. My transverse abduction is absolutely horrendous.
You are not explaining which quad to strech. Shall I strech my right quad (just like in the vid) if my pelvis is rotated anticlockwise (looking form above)..?Thanks
If you're rotated anticlockwise (as in, your right side is forward) then it's likely that the left quad is tight and could do with stretching/release :)
For future reference you don't wanna work on just 1 side. it just mean 1 side will be tighter but both sides would benifit
I've had a roted hip for quite a while, years even, it really messes with my squat especially. Tried all kinds of things to fix it, talked to "professionals", googled a bunch of things etc. All the advice I've gotten so far has mostly just been about the hip flexors, which I don't really feel any difference in between to two sides. But after torturing my hip flexors (for longer than I care to admit) anyway I found this video. On one side I can easily sit like you are doing in the video, on the other side I can hardly get my chest off the knee without feeling like my quad is about to tear :P
Best quad stretch iv tried 👍
I have right pelvis rotation exactly as you says .. and I have lumber spondylosis ... Causing curveture in the lumber spine ...
nice work. love this. Do you have anything on leg length discrepancy?
could you make another video on this with other causes of a rotated pelvis and what to do about it? very helpful nonetheless
thanks for this. My physio called this an anterior/posterior tilt. One hip was going one way one hip the other. have you any exercises to improve mobility in this area?
Let's suppose my hips are rotated clockwise (according to my POV), in other words the hip's left side is ahead of the right... which side should be stretched more?
Hello Would i want to stretch the side that my foot is more forward? My left pelvis is tilted toward the right.
I get pain in the left hip-inguinal region and then directly in the medial side of the left heel. I'm tired of the constant pain. Can any exercise help? I've tried physiotherapy in the past. Nothing has helped.
quick question if my right pelvic is forward which quad do i stretch left or right ? thank you
Based on what he showed us in the video, I think he'd say your left quad is tighter than your right quad. I also think he'd recommend that you stretch both, though.
This is consistent with my own experience, although I didn't understand this until I saw this video. When I look down at my exposed naval, the left side of my pelvis always seems to be a bit forward of the right side. And when I try to do the standard standing quad stretch (flex my knee to bring my foot up toward my butt, then pull the foot upward gently with my hand), I notice that it's always harder to reach my right foot with my hand than it is to reach my left foot. This suggests that my right quad is tighter than my left, which may explain why the left side of my pelvis is forward of the right side. Or at least that's my take on this interesting video.
Hi Thankyou very much for your segment, much appreciated.
Question can one do the stretch on both even if one leg is longer.
Did it on the tighter side(long leg) but the other side is also very tight.
This was Great! I sure did feel a bigger stretch here.
This one, along with the lateral ham you posted, sure seem they're leading me in a helpful direction out of this lower lumbar mess.
This is the first thing that I've found that helps. Thank you!!!!!!!
Thanks a million! This was so helpful.
Should we only do it on the quad which is tighter or both the quads?
Thanks Matt. This tip is a real lifesaver. My left hip is pulled way back and I have sciatica down the right leg. I also have bowlegs and the right leg is more bowed than the left. I guess that makes the right leg shorter? I started stretching my left quadricep while standing for 15 seconds per your recommendation. At first not much happened but then I added a second per day. When I reached 45 seconds I started to notice less pain in the right leg and my left hip straightening out as well. It is by no means a "cure" but it helps a lot. I'm not sure if it is a "Bandaid" as now it does appear as if my left shoulder is turned more to the left. It may not be as it might just seem that way to me. Do you have any stretches to reset the SI joint or to realign the entire spine with the hips? My back is fine for weeks and then it will go bad for a few days. I don't want to get surgery. I tried chiropractors with mixed success. Once again thanks for the great assistance. Your videos do a nice job of combining knowledge with humor.
which one do you recommend to correct first if you had both anterior tilt and pelvic rotation? Upright Health
Hi! Thank you for the helpful video. I found out I have my left hip rotated towards the right, that mean my left me is more forward when I look it from above with my feet pointing straight. My belly button is also rotated a bit to the right. In this case should I stretch more my left quad and strength my glute on the right side right? I usually have tight right hamstring too...
Yes
Great .thanks for the lovely information n exercises..
Happy Labor Day sir!! Just wondering if Tight Quads on Right and Tight Hams simultaneously might be acting in a toxic harmony? I have spent 3 decades spending a lot of free time in Forward Leaning Stance in Martial Arts. I really appreciate your help!! Thank you!
Where do I begin, other than with a thank you. I appreciate the honest information, "if your not going to hold the stretch at least 30 seconds don't bother." Some people don't realize the importance of this.
Gotta love the humor. Apologizing for having to look at his crotch region. Suggesting some are embarrassed and don't want their friends or family knowing.
And those of you who can't identify with "Pain Sucks" count your blessings!!
This is really weird. This does help but then within several minutes it goes back to where it was. I did it twice and slowly, it reverts back... What?? What do I do now??
Wow! Major pain for weeks on and off. Just did this stretch and wondered how I know which side to do? My pelvis is farther forward on right so I stretched right quad, when I stood up I could feel it was more forward that before! Wow. But still not sure that I'm supposed to stretch the right one. Stretch the one on the same side that the pelvis is too far forward? Thanks for the video!
been dealing with this for 3 years now and been to a plethora of PT facilities and not one person could ever figure this out lol Ill give it a shot and see if it does anything or if im too far gone
Let us know how it goes!
i have a rotated hip on the left side. and my left leg is shorter. both my legs were not like this before. will this exercise help to correct my leg difference? i did my research my situation is due to adaptive muscle shortening.
My hip is rotated in the counter clockwise direction (my right side of the hip is to the front). Do I keep my left or right leg on the wall?
Also when a hip is rotated, usually it is accompanied by hip tilt (my right hip tilted down). I hope this exercise would be a miracle exercise to fix both🤞.
Really helpfull, great strech and explanation!
Your tip helped! I had a burning pain in my left buttock shooting down my thigh, and the stretch got rid of it
Thank you 😊
Can you tell me if you should do both sides I have one side on my right that’s forward should I do three sets on one side and one sit on the other side
Thank you so much for this video. I had a tilted pelvis, and doing this somehow helped me. I did this exercises before sleeping, and slept on side that was tilted upwards and needed to be fixed. Woke up with it almost gone.
