Healthy Hips, APT Fix, FAI Fix...

Updated over a week ago

We have several hip programs and looking through them may be confusing. Here's a quick breakdown!

If your pelvis is always stuck in an anterior tilt and your tummy has that "hanging forward" feeling, this program is the one you want. It has a straightforward progression to follow that addresses the major causes of anterior pelvic tilt. It is not a "workout" program to get fit. It can be used as a warmup or corrective program as you do your other workouts (although we do suggest you focus on this program on its own before you get back into major weightlifting).

If you've got hip pain, you should be looking at this program.

It's perfect if you're just starting your journey out of hip pain. The first part (and the one we recommend you start with) includes a full set of follow-along strength and flexibility workouts as well as a clear schedule you can follow for an almost indefinite period of time. You don't need much equipment, and everything can be done at home. Just hit the play button and go!

The second option in this two-part program gives you a simple set of hip stretches and exercises you can use to build your own custom workouts. This is a great option for people who are learning how to listen to their bodies and want to build the skill of making exercise choices for themselves.

Overall, this is an excellent starting point for improving hip mobility. It's straightforward, simple, and one of our most popular programs.

You don't need any background in exercise to get started.

We generally recommend this as an excellent starting point, whether you have been told your pain is due to arthritis, FAI, labral tears, dysplasia, misshapen bones, bursitis, etc.

This is a joint program with Gotrom.com. It is the most comprehensive hips program we have for people with hip pain and the FAI diagnosis. It includes self-tests and corresponding routines so you can focus on your primary issues. This program requires more setup time and a bit more patience and understanding of your own body than the Healthy Hips program. If you have little experience with movement/exercise, this may be too difficult a program to start with.

We've had many users of the FAI Fix with many different hip pain diagnoses. Obviously the most common is FAI, but we've had people with arthritis, bone spurs, labral tears, etc. tell us that they've improved their ability to move right and feel right with the FAI Fix.
