The FAI Fix is no longer open to new students.
The FAI Fix was a joint effort between Matt Hsu of Upright Health and Shane Dowd from 2015 to 2024.
To serve you with faster updates, more in-depth troubleshooting, honest perspectives, and a more complete hip program, I parted ways with Shane Dowd.
Old students are still able to access the program and have also been granted access to the updated Healthy Hips program.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT FEMOROACETABULAR IMPINGEMENT
The conventional medical theory is that the bad bone shapes lead to labral tears, arthritis, pain, and immobility.
Surgery is supposed to be the only answer.
Recent research on hip impingement undermines that theory.
FAI bone shapes are normal anatomic variants and not indicative of a disease.
Cam and pincer impingement do not lead to arthritis
- Predictors of progression of osteoarthritis in femoroacetabular impingement: a radiological study with a minimum of ten years follow-up.
- Pincer deformity does not lead to osteoarthritis of the hip whereas acetabular dysplasia does: acetabular coverage and development of osteoarthritis in a nationwide prospective cohort study.
Labral tears and other joint pathologies aren't linked to hip pain
