Hey doctor i had one question…..i am suffering from snapping hip syndrome…please help me with what i should do further to ease myself and fix this syndrome. PLEASEE HELP DOCTOR:)
The upper front part of the thigh is where the hip flexors attach. So that is where you should feel the stretch. If you aren’t feeling the stretch, then you probably don’t have tight hip flexors. Did you have an injury or are you just stretching to stay flexible? Also, make sure your upper body stays up right. If you are leaning forward with the stretch, you won’t feel it as much. If you don’t have back issues, try leaning back a little. That might help too.

After doing a ton of research, I think I have a hip flexor Injury from doing a cartwheel and running roundoff after not doing one for over a decade ��♀️ initially I thought something was wrong with my stomach and got an ultrasound, but they didn’t find anything. I’ve been taking Advil for 4 days straight and trying to find a way to manage the pain without meds. So far heat seems to be the most helpful. I will give these stretches a try. The doctors are not very helpful. �� thank you for the video.
How do you create that bright white background in the video?
Got to the second stretch, stood up and heard a little pop in my hip and the ache was gone immediately. No pain is good. haha. Thanks Dr. Jo.
Hello doctor jo, so two days ago I was doing sprints and forgot to do the right warmup so I guess it triggered my hips. So later on that day I came home and every since I can’t lift my leg up because I feel a pinch. By the way whenever I do a squat and slowly come up with my gluts squeezing I feel a clicking noise In the hip.
Thanks! I love crazy socks:-) Every day is fine and will definitely help. Once you start getting some relief, you can drop it down to 2-3 times a week!
Very happy to find this by sciatica has been acting up on my right side thank you for the video -♤
I’m a gymnast and my hips get very sore easily and I’m only 15 and Idk what I did to them but I stretch every day and do splits every day but I googled it since I’m obviously i’m out of gymnastics atm with corona and I can’t ask my coaches and I read this article that said that doing splits every day is actually bad for the hips and can put a lot of unnecessary pressure on them so I think that night be the problem. I also do a workout every day or go on a 5k walk in the park so Idk if that would make them worse as well but I’m gonna try these stretches now. Thanks, lots of love from Dublin, Ireland ������
I think it’s better to keep it in place once in a while and breath out and release.
Thank you so much I’ve had this injury for a few weeks and I just figured out what it was and this fixed it!!! Now I can play soccer again
Yeah I did this then I went to football practice then I was running and it came back but it works thanks
I’m a dancer and need to have flexible hips and hamstrings. Thank you for the video ��
LOL! Definitely. Well I hope you feel better soon! Stretching your IT band might also help stretch your “hip area” if you want to check that out. Good luck!!
Hi! Question: if you are in a standing position and swing your leg out in a sweeping motion, does that also stretch your hip flexors?
I am sure you will find great workouts instructions on Unflexal page. That insane how it is good for sane:D
Thank you I’m only 11 and I get leg cramps all the time day and night so thank you because some are unbareable Thank You��
7 years later… helping me stretch in quarantine ��. Thanks, I will try this tomorrow morning!
Thanks doctor! You are amazing, wish you all the Best and is nice to see that you love dogs.
Funny how we humans think we should be warm before stretching. no other mammal do that!! I have never seen a dog or cat stretch after a good run og for that matter seen at lion stretch after thay have catch a pray. Of course you can stretch when you are cold in the muscles. Dont over do it. It`s for telling your body that it has to be prepared for working, either you are going to worke or training. And you dont have to hold the stretch you can also make elastic stretch så you bounce back in position. The facia around the muscles are elastic and should be!!
Should we have to tilt our pelvis posteriorly if we have increased lordotic curve
This is some weirdly inspo music for a simple calf stretch lol
Thanks you for this very concise video, but I’m disturbed by those horrifically tight leggings! So gross!
The fuck did that “did you know” have anything to do with the video?
I can’t do the 1st 2 bc flexors are so tight bc of my medical condition and causes pain. Ill need to attempt those while supervised, but that last one is perfect. Im tired of my limping getting worse, feeling like Im “girdled”, and its almost impossible to lift my leg unassisted. Thanks for the exercises.
I have pain when walking.The pain travels from my hip, and down the front of my thigh.Also this creates a weakness in the thigh. Any ideas?
Are you keeping your upper body straight? Maybe try slightly leaning back…not a lot, but just to make sure you are not leaning forward. That might help.
