Matt, thank you! I have suffered from hip pain for years! I have trouble sleeping because of the discomfort. I did this last night, before bed, and did not wake up at all! I’m grateful I found your video.
I have been suffering in hip pain for last 6 years since I watched your exercise, start doing feel straightaway different now my pain has gone, but I am still doing exercise-every day, Thanx a lot
Hii really it's a helpful stretch. I am from India. We call this stretch mandookaasana ( Mandooka in Sanskrit language means frog and aasana means sitting) It also relieves menstrual pain and strengthens pelvic and buttoc muscles. Keep posting more such helpful videos. Thanks 😃
This morning I couldn't walk. My hip gave me so much pain I could hardly move. After this stretch I reduced the pain to almost none. From now on I'll be stretching regularly. Thanks and God bless you.
Exercise and stretching is the cure for everything...I have hip dysplasia with my knees being affected too ..I started getting a lot more active even running and I have no pain and am stronger than ever!! Forget rest and pain pills ..just exercise...move your body 🙌🏼
Thanks for the reminder. I dreaded this pose in yoga class, because it was so uncomfortable for me. However, I found that placing a block under my chest helped me progressively relax into the position better. Also, the best way to get out was to shift my body forward, instead of causing more injury by trying to vertically come back up.
Thanks for the awesome video, I’m an MT and sent this video to clients with weak adductors and locked hips, as well as lower back issues. One client is out of pain already. 🙏🏼👍🏼
Matt I have been doing your exercises and they are helping me a lot! I do appreciate you style of teaching and the explanations you give. Much appreciated.
Hi, Great exercise. This exercise helped more than any other for my FAI. I purchased your program several years ago and it helped so much. I was going to purchase the higher level FAI, but you gentlemen told me it was not recommended for me. Was so impressed with your integrity. Very appreciative!
My hip just started hurting 1 day ago and the first thought that came across my mind is this must be why people get a hip replacement. I am 67 and glad I refused to get knee replacement because with proper care my knees work fine. Prayer must have led me to your channel and I am truly grateful. I was going to call my doctor for treatment but wisdom said just start with therapy and I was led to you. Thank you so much I will try this NOW.
Finally, a thorough explanation of how to do the Frog stretch. I had been doing this as part of a yoga routine but I wasn't getting a real stretch in the muscles that needed it, as became apparent recently when I sustained a stress fracture in my femur from overuse (during much more strenuous exercise than yoga) and actually ended up breaking the bone all the way while I was doing normal errands, because I didn't know what was wrong with it until it was too late. So now that I've had surgery to put my hip back together and have been told to use a walker, then a cane, and lay or sit around, I realize that you are quite correct in saying that practically no one tells you about this stretch, because I never heard it mentioned. Anyway, now that is has been 2 months I am getting some mobility back, although I am not as flexible as I was, but it does feel good to learn how to work on that properly.
I did a yoga for hips but I just didn't feel quite like I was loose and stretched out. I came across this video! I have done this before (a Long time ago) but your education was so much better then the other one. I did it as you explained and man I feel soooo much better. I will also incorporate it in my stretching routines!
Finally someone who talks about mobility in neuromuscular terms rather than just referring to "tightness". I find it is one of the least understood (yet most important) fitness concepts to the average Joe and I am often shocked to see some of the techniques recommended by instructors in disciplines that demand flexibility (dance, gymnastics, martial arts etc.). You explain your techniques in a simple way that can help people grasp what is causing tightness and what actually makes certain stretches effective verses others. Keep up the great content!
This stretch is exactly what I need. Not hip surgery! My first ymptom was pain in my right adductors and was told It was my hip, torn labrum, need hip surgery, the situation you have described. Thank you, thank you.
I salute you!!! You look young but seem to be wise and mature and a professional:) am 54 year old menopausal woman and i have tried Everything for my hips but to no avail... until i tried this stretch and it is Miraculous!! Thank you:)
Thank you for the helpful advice. I do wish you had talked about the necessity of deep steady breathing to activate healing and given your description of "relaxed" because many ppl are starting from zero and don't know what relaxed means . I recommend cultivating a quiet mind during stretching where you are not actively thinking about what you need to do next, what you saw on TV, how you want your body to be, etc. Just unbiased awareness of sensations in the body. I agree with what you said about not going into maximum stretch you are capable of but backing off to less than that, so the position can be held longer, in manageable challenge. Also if you are not stretched to maximum, you might be able to bring yourself to feel an inward smile, not forced fake outward smile, which stimulates greater healing. You didn't mention the connection between mind body and spirit in regard to triggering healing as opposed to narrowly focusing on what you want your body to do. Using a stretch pose to release AND tense muscles to get a FUNCTIONAL increase in range if motion and not just an increase in range of motion is a new idea to me. Thanks for that!!!
This is one of my favorite stretches of all time. The first time i was introduced to frog pose was during a yoga flow and i fell in love with it. Thank you for your extra tips here!
Good video. This is the first of Matt's that I've seen, but will definitely be checking out more. As an avid runner in mid-to-late 50's one of the things I've been concerned about for years is hip strength, flexibility and balance, and go overboard with exercises and stretches for the hips. Imbalance in hip strength or flexibility seems to lead to injuries. I plan on exploring these hip stretches and sharing with fellow runners.
I think this is an incredible stretch. I am dealing with numbness down my leg and this is the first thing that has helped in such a long time!!! Thank you!!!
I just tried this and I know this much for sure,.... I got one hell of a great stretch! I got to say, I'm feeling a lot better! ... Thanks for the info.
Needed these videos. Im a amputee and my left hip does most of the work. Trying to learn how to keep my hips rotation varied. Trying to prolong my ability to move. So these are great. 😆
You’ve helped me so much with various videos I’m going to jump in and buy your course which I’ve been putting off doing for 5 years - You deserve it/I deserve it - here’s to finally curing my hips!
I bought his fix your feet pain video.. I got so much more information and exercises and stretches in the course and it is only $`126 to support a guy who has devoted his life to figuring out how to relive pain and helping people.
It is a magic. I have a IS loins problem for about a month. After the acute inflammation was gone, I've tried lots of tips from the internet to relive the rest of my hip uncomfortableness. But nothing worked so magically like this one. Just one shot, all the complains are gone. Thank you so much. Life no more sucks. I can take a 20 km walking, dancing again. Thank you!!
Gosh, super helpful. I am a runner and wake up every morning with terrible hip pain. It makes the morning runs a major struggle to get going. Thanks for the tips.
I have been having mobility problems with one hip, and pain on and off. I have now developed sciatic pain gong from side of lower back through my buttock to my knee. My doctor sees this simply as arthritis in spine and hip, and has suggested keep moving, take Ibuprufen and later have a hip replacement. I am a firm believer in the body wanting to heal itself but needing support or change in life style. Just did this exercise and got a lot of relief from it. I will do this regularly now. Thank you.
Thank you!! I looked everywhere in UA-cam Couldn’t find anything until I ran into your Channel That stretch help me with my hip pain thank you vary much wow!!!
I have had chronic back pain for so long. It just getting worse now I do have to lose weight as well but I felt relief immediately. It feels strange to feel very slight pain I really mean it. A few minutes ago I could barely get up out of my chair or rock my body in the chair. OMG. I can't wait to see how long it last. My brain don't know how to react because been hurting really bad for several months. I even feel hardly no pain when I walk. Thank you!! for life brother.
Hi everyone good afternoon! LOL I have excruciating pain in my left femur ball which I had surgery on prior to this message, two years now and counting however I love your channel because you give great content, and you’re helping people which is truly amazing and a blessing! But, I have a fractured femur bone and I watch your channel so that I can relieve this pain along with start walking correctly either with my fractured femur bone!
MATT, for two years i have suffered with hip pain, lower back pain, TODAY 10 minutes and the 2 year PAIN G O N E! THANK YOU...YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH! CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS, EXCELLENT ENGLISH!
UA-cam must be psychic, I woke up this morning with a really sore hip, and see this post, and this is the first time I have ever seen a video about this subject and I didn't go looking for it or do a search, I was watching bushcraft posts, but I have just done your exercise and it has given me immediate relief, thank you So much my friend, great post.
THANKS!!!! I am going to ADD this to my daily STRETCHING... I am SO TIGHT... My legs SHAKE & my inner thigh feels jammed so TIGHT... it's like my inner thighs won't RELAX because they are PROTECTING themselves from injury or something... sigh.. I was ALWAYS limber.. I didn't have to work at it when I was younger.. I LET IT GO.. now at 61... I'm FIGHTING for my LIMBER LIFE again.. on week 3 of stretching 2 times daily. YOU ARE HELPING ME!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!
Thanks for the great tips. Having sciatic pain started since my third trimester of pregnancy. Still having pain after delivery. I've tried this exercise. Pain has reduced.. Truly believe it will reduce dramatically.. Thanks again!
I’m not sure why this showed up in my feed, but I’m glad it did. I’ve had pain in my interior side of my left hip for quite some time. Doing this stretch helped relieve the pain, even if just temporarily. Thanks for posting
Thank you for posting this. I saw a UA-cam video showing this but your video explains more, showing how to protect and also increase or decrease intensity.
Your other post of sitting and raising my knees worked miracles on me I will now try these. I have had both knees replaced. BUT...I can handle kneeling on my bed Thanks. 😊
I recommend that one must stretch without shoes. Wearing shoes is restrictive and your feet may feel strain rather than gently moving in alignment to the stretch.
THANK YOU, I watched your NECK PAIN Video is a very simple exercise, that cure my neck pain while sleeping at night. Wow, this is a good stub no more pain pills.
This is really interesting I just started to spontaneously move into this position myself through instincts and feeling my body ...thanks broke the nuances and advice about how to manipulate in this position.
Am I the only one that had trouble getting into these positions because of knee pain? And I'm only 22 😬. I can get into the butterfly stretch and the yoga hip stretch though so I think a can achieve the same results. I have knocked knees and flat feet with a partial outward patella shift on my left leg, with VERY weak hips. So I believe that's why it's so painful for me to get on my knees, that's why I'm trying to do these stretches to strengthen my lower body.
Definitely one of the most challenging stretches if you have tight hips/flexors. You have to stay with it and give it time but it gives me instant relief once I get up out of it. I try to do it several times a day and the more I do it, the better I feel.
hip bursitis a few years ago, took almost a year to recover the ability to sit. i was clearing land the other day, taking out desert broom which has sprawling, radiating canes, dead ones brittle enough to snap out. so this cane/branch is sticking 45 degrees out of the ground, i try to bend it upwards with the outer side of my foot, opening my hip up. lots of resistance, imagine lifting a 25 lb. bucket on the side of your foot. but wow, it felt like that was about the best thing i've done. you're right, my hip injury only improves with exercise, horse position, squats, whatever you can convince yourself to do. gotta move it.
I'm a PT and I prefer teaching a modified version first, "the butterfly" lying supine. I feel the frog is a more advanced stretch. Most of my clients do not have the overall flexibility or control of the lumbar spine to safely and correctly perform this stretch initially.
How's your groin feeling NOW? 😂
Beginner hip training program: uprighthealth.com/healthy-hips
Have the FAI hip pain diagnosis? thefaifix.com
@Uprighthealth would you suggest this stretch for someone who has been diagnosed by MRI with a suspected shallow hip labrum tear?
Matt, thank you! I have suffered from hip pain for years! I have trouble sleeping because of the discomfort. I did this last night, before bed, and did not wake up at all! I’m grateful I found your video.
Wow, this is soooo encouraging. Thank you for sharing. I am very happy for you!!

Good job!!!!!! I know lots of folks who just stop.
I'm missing my big left toe so my right knee and hip take most of my weight. I hope this helps you out.

Excellent video! I'm definitely trying this out. Thank you!
All your exercises are great! Thank you!
Oh my God, on behalf of my back, thank you so much!
I sometimes do that stretch with a cushion under each knee for comfort on laminated floor which allows knees to slide along the floor easier
Great explanation. Just what I was looking for.
Thank you Matt, l m 70 n have right hip pain after a fall n l think this exercise will be beneficisl to me. I must try n do it.
good technique I learned this from Pavel the Russian trainer years ago Keep on keeping on!
You always have the most sensible suggestions.
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you very much!!! My hip feels much better . Your advice really works for me
Thank you so much for great videos. They are very helpful to my right lower back pain. USA follower
wow, thank you it does indeed work such a difference in hip mobility..
Thank you for this video. I always learn a lot from you.
It’s painful 😭😭😭😭 but I will do it every day... thank you 🙏
Wow, this is amazing. And I love your thorough explanation. Will be checking out your other videos, in particular about hip pain. Thank you!
Very clearly explained , thanks
Good work Matt, thanks for sharing !
I had so much pain there, after running and I had pain for a while, after doing this stretch it was almost completely gone! Thank you!
This is really interesting I just started to spontaneously move into this position myself through instincts and feeling my body ...thanks broke the nuances and advice about how to manipulate in this position.
Thank you so much for the video.
How to go about it when there is a ligament tear in the knee.
Am I the only one that had trouble getting into these positions because of knee pain? And I'm only 22 😬. I can get into the butterfly stretch and the yoga hip stretch though so I think a can achieve the same results. I have knocked knees and flat feet with a partial outward patella shift on my left leg, with VERY weak hips.

I use to do this stretch when I did CrossFit! It was my favorite!! Thanks for reminding me🙌
You're so welcome!
Great video.
Thanks a million from UK.
Excellent! I have been saved a visit to My chiropractor! I'm Healed!!
Love it feels good for my lower back too! Love the plane flying over!!
Thank you just now and it help. Blessing
Wow!! Can't wait to try it. Thank you!!!
I'm a PT and I prefer teaching a modified version first, "the butterfly" lying supine. I feel the frog is a more advanced stretch. Most of my clients do not have the overall flexibility or control of the lumbar spine to safely and correctly perform this stretch initially.
Yes it is. What if you have a super stiff right hip due to some arthritis?
To me, this is much more helpful than the butterfly
Yes I was wondering if there is a modified version for those of us with spinal arthritis. I would be in alot of pain trying this
What if you have lumbar spine stenosis which needs special exercises? This I have a L hip which gives pain relieved by exercise????😊
I knew it. I was thinking about doing this. You're body will tell you what it needs. Glad I came across this video. Confirms what I needed to do.
Thank you for sharing...this really was helpful!!
Very clear and well presented. Thank you
