If you've been told that FAI surgery is highly successful and guaranteed to fix your hip impingement pain, it's important to look at historical parallels in medical history. Knee meniscus surgery became popular over the course of several decades starting in the mid 1900s. Only after fifty years of regular practice did researchers perform scientific studies to determine the true efficacy of the surgery. And when researchers did examine knee meniscus surgery, they discovered that it was no better than placebo!

Surgery for hip impingement is only about 20 years old, and there have still been NO studies to compare the surgery to placebo. And most if not all the papers published supporting surgery for hip impingement have been low-quality, highly biased papers.

The outer hip stretch you'll learn in this video will improve your hip adduction and hip internal rotation. You can also use it to improve hip extension, if you use some of the variations of this TFL stretch.
