Corrective Exercises Don't Fix Hip Impingement — Here's What Actually Does
In this episode, Dr. Sebastian Gonzales breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions in rehab and fitness: that corrective exercises fix the problem. Spoiler alert—they don't. Instead, they improve your body's capabilities, help redistribute stress, and allow you to accomplish the same task in a new, often less painful way. You'll also learn how these movements act as "burner" exercises to wake up underused tissues or change motor patterns that may be contributing to discomfort. If you're using corrective exercises as a magic pill, it's time to rethink your strategy. Looking to get in touch with our office?

Beyond Stretching Mobility for Hip and Groin Rehabilitation
In this episode of the Restoring Human Movement podcast, we go beyond basic stretching to explore what really works when it comes to hip and groin rehabilitation. Stretching has its place, but it's often overused or misapplied—especially in cases of chronic groin pain, hip impingement, or post-injury rehab. Dr. Sebastian Gonzales dives into the science and real-world application of mobility, stability, and strength strategies that actually drive recovery forward. If you're dealing with nagging hip tightness, groin strains, or discomfort that's limiting your performance, this episode will help shift your focus from passive flexibility to active mobility and tissue resilience.
