Dr. Richard A. Mugavero, Chiropractic Physician

Dear Matt & Shane,

I want to sincerely thank you for putting your FAI Fix program together as it has improved the quality of my life drastically.  I hope my story inspires other people with hip pain to order your program and get started on the road to a better life.

I have been a practicing chiropractor since 1999.  During those years I’ve helped thousands of people suffering with common neuro-musculo-skeletal complaints such as back pain, neck pain, headaches and whiplash, to name a few.  In order for me to adjust my patients I often have to put my own body in compromising positions, which causes a great deal of wear and tear to different parts of my body.  Becoming more successful in practice means that I would see larger numbers of patients each day, which translates to MORE wear and tear to my body.  In addition, I would spend a few hours each day sitting at my desk to keep up with patient treatment notes.  Knowing what I know about the...

THANK YOU x 1,000,000. I have my life back.

Started the program the beginning of January and today I’m pain free. These last few weeks have been nothing short of a gift. I’d like to give you guys everything I’ve found useful and impeded progress.

First things first…be persistent, be consistent. I came into this program with the mindset this was either going to work or nothing was. All in or nothing. Everyday, woke up 45 mins early to do my “problem areas”. Glutes, Hams and the illio psoas. Did the deep tissue and stretches only in those areas in the morning.

As I said, I’m up and down ladders all day so I did what I could without making it worse. After work, I’d do everything from start to finish. I did that 5 to 7 days a week all the way up till mid april. At that point I just felt human again. Could stand straight up comfortably, There was no more clicking and popping going up stairs. Just wonderful. At that point, I cut...

I was born with congenital hip dysplasia and walked around with a completely dislocated hip until 2 years old when I had major pelvic surgery (osteotomy) to reshape the right hip joint. I was very active throughout childhood and as an adult- cheerleading, running, skiing, what I now know was excessive yoga, mountain biking/ spin classes. I was pain free until age 25 when I was (mis)diagnosed with a “right gluteal strain” after skiing in Colorado in March 2016.

After zero results with physical therapy and worsening pain, I got an MRI arthrogram in July and was diagnosed with a combination of pincer and cam impingement and labral tears in both hips. Around that time I started experiencing lower back pain and pain on the left hip as well as the right. I was in pain all day at work, home, weekends and it seemed totally random- unrelated to sitting, standing, activity, taking medication, lidocaine patches, injections- nothing worked! My initial orthopedist recommended hip...

Dear Matt and Shane,

Thank you both for YOUR help and support.

With your program and your kind responses to my emails, I have been able to turn my hip issues completely around, and no longer live in fear of future surgery, increased immobility, or any further harm to my quality of life.

In the past I tried some strengthening exercises from a PT, a little tissue work with a ball, I tried stretching exercises, I tried dry needling and sports tape, and I spoke with a Medical Medium who gave me all manner of supplements. I went to multiple doctors, I tried massage, I tried rest, I tried more exercise. But until your program gave me the right tools in the right combinations, I was unable to prevent a worsening of my condition.

After two short weeks of one, maybe two sessions a day, I was able to go up stairs once again, and get out of a car without limping for the first time in over a year. I could hardly even believe how quickly I started noticing positive results- right around...

 Happy new year! I’ve been wanting to send you an e-mail thanking you for all of the work you and Shane put into the FAI Fix program. The program helped me get my life back together.

My story: I’m an avid cyclist and cycling is an integral part of my life. In April 2014, I was making a (too) aggressive right-hand turn and lost it in some gravel. It was the first serious cycling accident of my life. Post-accident, my right hip did not feel right. It was painful to walk. I rested it for about a month and went to an orthopedist when it did not get better. He recommended PT. The PT was cookie-cutter with no root-cause analysis. In retrospect, some of the exercises the PT gave me were really counterproductive and made me feel worse. More time went by and I went to a chiropractor/sports rehabilitation specialist. He quickly recognized glute shutdown on the injured side. That was a good call, but the exercises he gave me seemed overly aggressive. After some plyometrics, I...

All right, here goes with the testimonial. I wish I could say at the end that I’m fully healed, but I think it might be a while before I can say that and I’d like to share something for now. Maybe I can do an update down the road…

I’ve always been a very active person. I’ve played every sport imaginable but really focused on baseball and hockey. I was a catcher in baseball and a goalie in hockey, which is likely where some of my hip issues began.

After college, I stopped playing hockey after moving to a new city but I remained very active playing other sports, going to the gym, doing yoga, etc, and never had any major injuries. Somehow ten years went by before I finally snapped out of it and started to play hockey again. At that point I was in my early 30s and had lost much of the flexibility and mobility I’d had when I was younger so I knew in order to remain healthy I would need to focus more of my off-ice activity on training in...

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve just started using your basic program (Track 1) and was blown away to realize immediate improvement.

A Little Back Story…

I first started noticing pain in my left hip probably almost two years ago.  Actually started as groin pain and I went to the doctor to get that check out, but other than confirming I didn’t have a hernia, no real diagnosis.  At the time I had recently completed a trail marathon and was still doing a fair amount of cross training with an eye towards doing a long course triathlon.  I signed up for the Louisville Ironman in the Fall of 2015, continued cross training through the winter, then started a formal ironman training program in the Spring of 2016.  Throughout the training, my hip bothered me, but as long as I trained at an easy pace running, and adjusted my saddle up and forward on the bike I was able to keep pain while exercising minimal.  After long runs, I’d have a...

I started noticing hip pain after I returned from a 7 week trip to Thailand in the Spring of 2012, in which I was training 3 hours per session, of which there were two each day (total of six hours per day) for pretty much the entirety of the trip. I basically just dealt with the pain for about 2 years until it got so bad that I couldn’t sit for more than a couple minutes at a time without having to shift or stand up and stretch to get some relief. It then got to the point where the pain was so bad it would wake me up from a sound sleep. That’s when I decided to get it checked out by a doctor.

The doctor gave me an x-ray and referred me for an MRI – which revealed I had cam type FAI and a torn labrum with several small cysts in my left hip. It also revealed FAI in my right hip as well. He then referred me to a sports medicine doctor who told me the only way to treat FAI is with arthroscopic surgery. I then saw two orthopedic surgeons who both told me that...

I had pain in my right hip for a long time, but I must confess that I really never paid attention to it. Usually after a few days, the pain disappeared and I went on with my life. But in the summer of 2016 I started to feel a strange pain in my quad. In the beginning it felt like my leg was exhausted all the time, and eventually I felt pain while I was running. Around October, the pain started to feel more intense and limiting. All day long I felt pain in my quad, glute, and groin. At night I couldn’t sleep because I wasn’t able to find a posture where I didn’t feel pain in my leg. In the days out with my family (at the zoo, or just simply a walk) I was limping and I could barely keep up with with my children (they were 4 and 7 years old). Whenever they asked me to play soccer with them, I had to say no. I couldn’t stand on my feet for long periods of time nor could I sit comfortably, which was a huge problem since I had to use my computer a lot at work. I...
