My hip was so locked up that after I did this , I had a complete physiological response ... it literally made me sick to my stomach because the amount of relief this provided . Thank you for this video
Good for you. This is the way I've evaluated pelvic imbalance for many years. Sadly, many use less effective ways to do this.
This worked for me... I’m shooketh 🥲😂🥳👍🏻 Thank you!
OMG...I am struggling with a severe issue w/my right hip rotating forward & left hip rotating backwards. This has made my right leg significantly longer than my left and has basically kept me from walking for 4 months now. The length discrepancy has put so much pressure on my right knee, that it's caused patellar tracking issues - I'm terrified of dislocating my right knee now. I've been in PT, seen ortho docs, podiatrists, chiro w/sports medicine PT, and this treatment you demonstrated has helped me more than most of what I've done all summer long!
Thank you for this video!
How long time fix this problem?pls tell me
Are you cured noe
Are you cured now
It goes to show you not every clinician is up to par. No matter what their disciplines are. But as a previous massage therapist and retired chiropractor I'm surprised all those clinicians couldn't get it. I'm glad this system helped just keep on doing it well well personally from the biomechanics involved and this PT should be more of an expert than me. but The literature reveals that muscle energy is only a temporary release of muscle tension. He's the expert so that's all that matters sometimes less is more . I hope it continues to help you. I would think that all the other people looked at your gait and possible other muscle problems as well.
Thank you for explaining which leg!
Yooooow that was so fast ... thank u so much man I really really appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️
How long do I do this in a day ???
Great idea using the pole, thanks!
The ideas of our therapists are a gold mine! Thank you for viewing our content
Works like a charm!
Hi, thanks for this, would it also help to do quad and psoas stretches for the right side to prevent tightness from them pulling the pelvis anterior ? And maybe single leg glute bridge for the right ? What exercises might help the upper body when you have been stuck in this pattern ?
This push/pull technique works, relieved my back, knee and foot joint pain right away, I do it whenever I start feeling pain again, my PT showed me how to do it without the bar, both methods work
Mary-Ellen Wood how you do it without the bar?
Mary-Ellen Wood how are u feeling now?

Please help me
Thank you so much Dr. Lin. This is exactly my problem. I am going to try that later. Thank you!!
You are welcome
How long will do this ?? Dr.lin.
@@RehabRevive How long do I do this in a day ?????
Hi, would this exercise work for a short right posterior innominate?
hello! i just say your channel. I am wondering if you have any excercise s to fix my pain which im pretty sure is merulgia parasthetica (i dont know spelling) please help. its going for 3 months now. also i have this short leg problem so imma try this. they both are currently happening at the same time :/ please help. ( is my leg pain due to this short leg?)(its not confirmed if its merelgia parasthetica.
Thanks
Wow thanks! I have the exact problem. Never seen this video before. Are there any other videos of yours you would recommend for this problem?
This will be the first video of its kind in regards to this specific topic, but we'll keep this in mind for future videos!
hey santosh any positive results you got?
Thank you very much...it works
How long do I do this in a day ?
Should this be done on both legs regardless of leg length or only the one side? I always worry about not doing things for both sides.
Dr. Lin, thanks a lot for these vids, I am applying for DPT schools and have been watching your videos for years! (Since the one about how to walk correctly).
Are you thinking of doing more videos on hip alignment? I actually have a hip misalignment (one leg can sometimes feel shorter than the other) and was hoping you would post more about that problem. It happened after I had ankle surgery.
Rock on!
+GODF1R3 First off, thank you for being so loyal to this channel and following us through the years. I wish you luck as you pursue a career as a physical therapist and a student of the human body. This video does help the symptom of a "leg-length" issue. However, it may not address the root cause. We will definitely be making some more hip videos as we continue our series on lower quadrant pain. Stay tuned!

hello sir ,
my son have a short leg.what should i do . you suggest me .
How long does it typically take to get relief by doing this?
Hi Dr Lin, great video, thanks. How many days will I need to perform this before I see results. I have a leg length discrepancy of about 1.25 inches. I am convinced it is due to SI disfunctionality. Your exercise seems to make sense as a replacement to an exercise I used to get from a glute machine at my local gym (which they removed from use about a 6 months ago). Any advice would be appreciated, thanks John Turner
Hey have you done anything to fix it?
Hi! Does this work only on leg length discrepancy caused by muscle imbalances? Or can it also work on a stuck Si joint caused by a hit or a fall for exemple
hello, how can i find out about the pelvic adjustemtns type and what it does? i need help. my PT pressed on my left hip and now its shifted forward and left leg internally rotated permanently. its hard to walk and it feels very uncomfortable. I cant figure out how to reverse it back because nothing helps and PT wont help
U should sue that PT
Thanks Doc worked like a charm
How much time a day
@@sergioramos3386 i did it about 3 times a week
@@alv7588 finally someone who answers a question lol
My left leg is shorter than my right leg. Show an exercise. If there is any treatment
Can we do both sides with this treatment to make sure there's muscle balance at the end?
Importance of trigger points?
Whta if the painful leg is the short one?
Worked for me on my first try. My pelvis moved like months ago
is your pelvis asymmetric now ?
I have a longer right leg and it really affects my balance when im standing. And when i stand for a long period of time i feel pain and discomfort on several parts of my back. Sometimes in mys pine. Lower back. And right back pelvis. Correct me if im wrong. Can i apply this technique? Thank you sir. Gld bless
exact same situation here. about 3 months ago i invested in some shoe inserts from a very good physio where lots of measuring techniques were used to create them. i think it was worth it, you should take a look
@stumble Guys Channel any progress?
My bats are unbalanced plz help
Hi!! I ve been told that my legs have the same length but due to a lumbar curve I should wear a heel lift. The discrepancy is of more than 1 cm however I wear a 6 mm heel lift on the left leg. This fixed my pain in the left side of my lower back and hip. all good for 5 weeks, then the pain came back , this time on the right side, a sciatica inflammation , a tingling feeling etc... I went to a chiropractor and before having the first visit a n assistant put me on a machine that checks weight distribution and posture. She says that there are 7 kilos more pressing on my right leg (which is the leg without heel lift). if I take the heel lift off I may go back having lots of pain on the left side...I will see the chiropractor soon however, after having spoken to my doctor, having seen a physiotherapist and also an osteopath I start to feel hopeless. Any ideas?
I have dout sir which leg is under the stick...my right leg is short
How long do I do this in a day ?
If his right is rotated this actually shortens the leg on the right side and the left leg becomes longer.
I had this exact same issue. What is the long term fix?
How much time a day ????
My lift leg is short ,what do I do, I have a operation to that I can make it high r not
Same problem brother... Any one respond plz
same problem
What if you have a true leg length discrepancy? My left leg is actually 1/2 longer than the right. My left hip bone is also taller than the right
Postural restoration institute . Neal hallinan CZcams. You have left aic/ right bc pattern. You have not leg lenght discrepancy
@@lokooooooooooct exactly😘
My right hip anteriorly rotates pretty hard but my left leg is longer. Any thoughts?
wait? just to understand this part of the body better
if the right hip anteriorly rotates pretty hard then the right leg *should* be longer, right?
@@cuihaoifyI explain with my own words okay? If the right pelvics move up the the right leg should be shorter and the left leg longer. You should then work on the right leg to bring the right pelvic down to the positioning of the left one. That makes equal balance. Snd vice versa. I'm francophone
Wonderful thanks ! this really works. I have so much relief. My knee is a little sore from few days of hip rotation but it did rectify my leg lengths and uneven hips. many thanks for sharing this with youtube community.
Rose wood my problem is left side low back pain and right leg longer knee hurt foot pronation pls tell me this exercies help me and how match time fix thies problem??
Maddy that means your left hip is rotated. You need a stick or foam roller something long and a little harder. Place it in a such way like shown in this video . Your right knee the longer leg goes over the stick and left leg under the stick. Now push your right knee down and left knee up simultaneously for two - 3 times. You may hear pop sounds from your muscles but with in a few minutes you will be aligned. You may feel sore for sometime that will go away
@@rosewoodjasmine11 thnx bro sorry for let replay...😊
Bro one quetion this exercies daley use??good or not?
@@maddymaddy5482 once its aligned you would not need it for some time. the other thing I would recommend is glute, tight strengthening exercises to keep the hip in place
So the right hamstring PULLS the right pelvis BACK, while the left quads push the left pelvis forward. Am I right?
Yes
@@maddymaddy5482 In the video the right pelvis is rotated forward, not backward? So isnt it vice versa what Thomas is asking?
@@Slasheri My thoughts, too. It does seem a bit backwards...
@Shlaseri he is talking about solution , not about problem
Hi sir I have to accident after recovery fracture leg 1.5 inches shorter can improve Exercise age 37
Hai Bro..
I am from India. When I am studying college (2015) i have fall down on the ground. That time i am admitted in the hospital and they said that there is a crack in the astabalum something is in the hip joint. so the pin traction(for 2 months) is the treatment given for me. After the treatment is over I have noticed that the injuried leg is 2 inch smaller than the ordinary leg. That time onwards I cannot run, cannot fold the legs to sit down, there is a huge pain in the injuried part. And also there is a huge difference in the walking.
******** STILL I AM SUFFERING FROM THE PROBLEM...
PLEASE HELP ME **************

You kind of look like Garret Wang.
Ive had this problem for close to two years now. Ive seen plenty of people, and spent thousands to try and fix it. I used to be huge into powerlifting, and now can barley even squat or deadlift. Is there anything else that might help? Ive tried this exercise, along with squeezing my legs together, and pulling them apart with a band. nothing seems to be working.
There will always be an outlier where very few to zero exercises will make a noticeable difference for those affected. This is when professionals are recommended, but unfortunately, without a proper in-person evaluation, it is difficult to grasp the full scope of your situation. Please, do not hesitate to personally contact us or to speak directly with one of our therapists. Our information can always be found in the description box.
Northern Essential Barbell we can pray and it will grow out painless
Northern Essential Barbell I was able to correct mine years ago using an electrotherapy device. Look into Jerry Tenant's book "Healing is Voltage" in the chapter called "The Bowling Ball syndrome". Pretty amazing stuff. No back pain for years.

Bro please reply if you read my comment
@@sunnysharma5903 yeah bro
You should've shown the legs uneven FIRST before the exercise. I couldn't really see how you checked the uneven hips if the camera was bit far.
does doing this permanently fixes the hips?
Patrick it may, refer to your healthcare professional for the best sequence of exercises along with this would be great.
Holy shit, DK is a chiropractor now?
