Why did I chose this Hip flexibility system?

I discovered Eric Wong in 2013 because I was searching for a conditioning program for MMA fighters. I have been following his blog since that time. Eric is an expert on flexibility, and he is also the creator of the new Shoulder Flexibility Solution. I practice martial arts since I am 7 years old and let’s say that I am not the flexible type. It was nearly impossible for me to throw high kicks with my right leg. With the knowledge I acquire since that time, I know that a lot of movements comes from the hips so I wanted to increase my hip mobility.

What causes Hip pain and how do we treat it

The hip is what attaches the leg to the torso of the body. Many causes of hip pain can come from the joint itself but keep in mind that it may also come from areas that surround the hip. Inflammation, swelling, redness warmth and trouble with your hip flexibility, are signals and symptoms that a problem may exist.

What causes hip pain?

Hip pain can come from the hip joint itself or it can come from the structures surrounding the hip.

Pain can appear because of an illness or injury that causes inflammation. It can fill the hip joint empty spaces with fluid or blood resulting in pain.

Hip Fracture: Falls are the most common way to break a hip. The location of the fracture is very important because it will determine which type of operation is needed to repair the injury.

Contusions or Bruises: Even if there is no break, these injuries can be very painful in the hip area. It can take the form of Sprains (due to ligament injuries) or Strains (occur because of damage and inflammation to muscles and tendons).

Overuse Injuries: Muscles, tendons, and ligaments can become inflamed and cause hip pain due to overuse injuries. This hip injury can come from a daily activity or repetitive movements that can irritates the sciatic nerve.

Bursa Inflammation: The bursa may become inflamed for mutiple of reasons, often due to minor trauma or overuse. The inflammation causes the pain.

Arthritis: Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of hip pain in those over the age of 50.

Even if the hip hurts, the problem may come from elsewhere. Inflammation of the sciatic nerve can cause hip pain. Other types of nerve inflammation may manifest as hip pain like we see in pregnancy. Hernia may cause pain in the front part of the hip.

You should seek medical care for hip pain if it comes from an injury. If the pain is gradual and does not respond to rest, medication or exercises you should also seek help from a professional. Making the diagnosis of the cause of hip pain begins with the health-care professional. A physical examination will be done and the focus will be on the hip, the legs and the back. X-rays or magnetic resonance will occur if the specialist think that there is a fracture of the hip.

What can I do to treat my hip pain at home?

Rest is very important but you must do a gradual return to full activity. It is also important to exercise to maintain a certain range of motion to keep the whole body moving. It is important to listen to your body, and if pain persists, medical care should be accessed to help ensure your hips stay functional and healthy.

Acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and naproxen are good pain medications.

On his website, you can access “The 6 POWERFUL Hip Flexibility Solution Routines” and you have there useful information on how to quickly and effectively release your tight hips.

Unlock your hip flexors

Our hip flexors are the engine that makes our body move. Everything goes through the hips. When our hip flexors tighten it causes a lot of problems for people active like me. A lot of people end up having tight hip flexors and do not realize it.

Tight hip flexors are the root cause of problems such as:

  • Walking with discomfort
  • Hips locking up
  • Bad posture
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Digestive problems
  • Circulatory issues
  • Loss of sexual performance
  • Lack of Explosiveness in the gym or sports

Your hips are the bridge link between your upper body and your lower body. They are at the center of your body’s movement.

Even if you are a top athlete, you can suffer from a tight psoas due to the amount of time you spend each day planted to a chair. The psoas is the only muscle in the human body connecting the upper body to the lower body. You have to go beyond simple static stretching. Holding a few static stretches for a period of time to try and gain hip flexibility is not the solution to unlock your hip flexors.

You need to strengthen the muscle from multiple angles using a variety of exercises in order to unlock your hip.

According to Mike Westerdal (creator of “Unlock Your Hip Flexors” and national best-selling fitness author), there is some specific techniques you need to unlock your hip flexors. Some of these techniques include:

  • Proprioceptive Peuromuscular Facilitation Stretching: It is a technique where you are activating a specific muscle in order to relax the muscles around a joint so you can decrease the stiffness around a joint.
  • Dynamic Stretching: This is where you are activating the muscle around a joint and moving that joint through its full range of motion in a progressive manner.
  • 3-Dimensional Core Stability Exercises: These exercises are targeting the muscle in all planes of movement so the core and abdominal muscles have good activation, endurance and strength in all planes of movement.
  • Mobility Exercises: These exercises are targeting the joint and doing movements and exercises that help the joint function optimally.
  • Fascia Stretching: This technique is targeting the tissue that muscles are surrounded in and working on loosening and lengthening the fascia.
  • Muscle Activation Movements: With this technique, we’re targeting those muscles that are not are not working properly and activate them in order to help the body move more efficiently.

Some of the specialists like Rick Kaselj are using a sequential flow method. The injury specialist Rick Kaselj helps to learn how to work through the right sequence of techniques to unlock the tension and tightness in my muscles to properly solve problems. Even if you know all the movements, you must do the movements in the right order.

There is a program called Unlock Your Hip Flexors made by Mike Westerdal and Rick Kaselj. This program is divided in two parts. The first is a Coaching Instructional Video where Rick takes you through each exercise in detail, so you fully understand why you are doing that exercise. The second part is a step by step format made so you can do the flow alongside the video.

My goal was to create a Eric Wong MMA Review and after training for mixed martial arts with the actual mma workout plan, I found some interesting things. Mixed martial arts training in schools or «Dojo» is a thing, but when it comes to be something serious, you need some tools to get better. Beeing a mma trainer myself, I was looking for a mma strenght conditioning to upgrade myself and my coaching.

I discovered coach Eric Wong, but who is Eric Wong?

According to the product website Eric has trained:

  • Chad Leonhardt (scored notable KO in Bellator by devastating knee)
  • Rocci Williams (turned around a 1-6 record to become a dominant force)
  • Claude Patrick (won UFC debut by guillotine in the 2nd round – cornered by Eric)
  • Subaig Singh (won first 2 MMA fights, trained by Eric)

Eric Wong is an MMA strength and conditioning coach. His job is to help mixed-martial artists to take their game to the next level. He is the conditioning coach for Jeff “The Inferno” Joslin, Rory McDonell, Ray “The Hitman” Penny, Jack Szatko, and other members of Team Joslin, all proven elite mixed martial artists.

He received his formal education from the University of Waterloo, earning an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology and a spot on the Dean’s list.

Other certifications :

Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association

Certified Kinesiologist (CK) through the Ontario Kinesiology Association

Corrective and High-Performance Exercise Kinesiology (CHEK) Practitioner Level I through the CHEK Institute

Licensed Lifestyle Coach through the Lifestyle Coaching Institute.

You see, lifting weight in a gym is just not enough, to keep your mma conditioning to the top, you need to repeat techniques in your workout. Sure, in a gym you will gain strength but you wont get all the details that a technique requires.
