hip impingement

"During a soccer training session I felt a sharp pain in my lower back and I wasn’t able to stop or switch directions without heavy pain in my lower back. I got diagnosed with a disc herniation in L5/S1. I was in the hospital for 10 days barely able to move because of the pain. I saw myself as a victim, but when I started to take action and believe in myself and my power to heal, I started the process of regenerating. I came across the MoveU Membership which helped me take action, fix my own s#!t and believe that I can come back. With a lot of work and dedication to the details, I got myself back into professional soccer."

"After all the agony, dollars wasted, and healthcare providers telling me that this would be chronic and lifelong I was at my wit’s end and feeling pretty low. Diagnoses I received were: SI joint pain, SI dysfunction, tight muscles, weak pelvic floor, tight psoas, unstable pelvis, rib flare, rib popping out. No real treatment plan other than the occasional stretch. Then I stumbled upon MoveU and instantly I fell in love with the teaching methods of Dr. Mike and the team. FINALLY interesting, exciting people that tell you like it is and don't sugar coat anything. MoveU has given me back control over my life and my happiness! My future looks so bright and adventurous now. I've got mountains to climb, horses to ride, lakes to explore. My imagination is endless with possibility."

"In the short 3 months since I joined MoveU, I have learned much more than I expected. Most importantly, my kinesthetic awareness has increased exponentially and now, alignment, posture, and movement are on my mind nearly all of my waking hours! And I am so thankful for the positive vibes and support in this community. I've found that MU teaches life skills not quick fixes."

"As a competitive athlete in dance, gymnastics, and swimming from age 6 through college, I learned to force my body into poses for aesthetics instead of health. I’ve had numerous crashes and falls, and chronic pain (neck, back, and hips) - for many years. I was going to the chiropractor for years, getting adjusted every week for temporary relief was unsatisfactory. MoveU is my solution! The back and core and hips and glutes programs in the MoveU membership are transformational."

"I was hunched over with rounded shoulders all the time. I wore orthotics for 50 years because my feet were weak and flat. I was a senior, my body had aches and pains, and whatever fitness program I had going on at the time it just didn't seem to help me feel better and do more. Then along comes my daughter who tells me of an online thing called MoveU. For me, this connection was life changing. My gym time these days is performing Olympic lifts with good form. The skills I use today came from MoveU."

"The number of ah-ha moments I've had since beginning the MoveU program are numerous. So many of the concepts and methods that are taught in these programs were things that took me YEARS to piece together in physical therapy. The MoveU programs has been instrumental to my being able to function as an athlete and mom to 6 with chronic pain (which is much lessened, thanks to the program)."

"I had given up all hinging movements and believed that I would never squat or deadlift again. MoveU is where I learned of the poor movement patterns I developed - and how to fix them. Then, my back pain started going away. I was feeling better and stronger, so I started deadlifting and squatting with the bar, focusing entirely on form and bracing the core, then slowly adding weight. Two years later and I am comfortably deadlifting and squatting semi-heavy weight again (with good form and zero pain or discomfort)!"

"I had been experiencing a revolving door of unexplained chronic pain along my spine for 5 years (neck, shoulders, mid and low back, hips).Then I found MoveU and it seemed like exactly what I needed. I've done 90 days of the MoveU method and I'm loving it. It can be hard to self-motivate some days, but it's great that I can train with confidence at my own pace from home knowing that I have support and community in the app. I love dancing, gardening, hiking, SUP, nordic skiing, and ice skating. I'm excited to be doing some of these with less pain already, only 3 months into a 12 month membership to fix my shit!"

"Crunch, snap, collapse...At 22, I suffered a severe lower leg injury playing softball that led to surgeries, plates, and pins. Decades later, living as a weekend sports warrior, I was twisted and pained from years of living on a less-than-functional left foot (muscle atrophy, weak knees, uneven hips, rotated rib cage, winged scapula, slightly curved spine, poor posture). At 52 and 90 days into healing with MoveU, I've rediscovered my love for bouldering, something I hadn't thought possible since my early 20s, and I'm stoked to feel like I can nearly pick up where I left off."

"I enrolled in The MoveU Program right after I blew my back out because of a herniated disc in my L4 L5. I couldn't move, I was in bed for 2 weeks and it was so excruciatingly painful. The doctors said I could never train or lift again. Determined to find an answer and solution (even though the doctors told me there was none), I decided to trust MoveU's process. And 1 year later after conscious, mindful movement re-learning & consistent swimming 4x a week, I can now run, train, lift, Crossfit, totally pain free. I even won a swimrun race back in October!"

"I've been dealing with disc herniations (L3/L4 and L5/S1) for over 7 years, in the course of which, I have tried almost everything without any lasting results. I had to leave my training at the gym and put aside my martial arts. Then I did the MoveU90 challenge, following step-by-step progressions, and putting extra emphasis on the body parts that gave me trouble. Engaging in the community also helped me in times of doubt and frustration. Now, after this short period of time, I can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel: I wake up without pain."

"After all of the interventions (e.g. physical therapy, chiropractic services, dry needling, massage therapy, acupuncture, cortisone shots, meditation, yoga, journaling, and surgery), this has been the ONLY intervention that has actually improved my pain. Dr. Mike helped me tackle my pain through a whole body approach. He not only helped me strengthen my physical body, but also my mental capacity. Prior I could not run, bike, strength train, practice yoga, or even stand up from a chair without pain. Since lessening my pain I can engage in all of the activities I was not able to - backpacking, rock climbing, running, yoga, etc."

"I was told I needed fusion surgery and that was my only option. The diagnosis was L4-L5 herniated disc with bone Spurs and arthritis. As the pain got worse there were days when my wife would have to help me get dressed and tie my boots so I could go to work. At work I was doing what I could, but was very cautious about climbing, lifting or reaching. And at times I couldn’t even lift my lunch box. I decided to sign up for the MoveU Membership. I started everyday, working on movements and followed the MoveU Programs as closely as possible. After a few weeks I could feel things starting to feel better. The less pain I felt, the more I could challenge my body. I can’t thank them enough for giving me the opportunity to continue playing the sport I love and more importantly being able to provide for my family."

"I noticed a difference within the first two weeks of doing this program. It not only helped my body movements and mechanics, but also helped connect my brain to my body, encouraging my mindset and becoming motivated to better myself everyday. Now, because of MoveU, I know how to take care of my body and treat my soreness/pain/tightness, which has enhanced my athletic performance and my daily life. I still have a lot to learn with MoveU, and I am excited to see how I progress into the future, embracing the "Fix Yo Sh!t" mentality - preserving into a pain free and limitless life."
