Glute Med Pain? Achy Back On One Side? Here’s what to do about it!

This is an incredibly common complaint, especially from those who enjoy some form of training, running or frequent walking!

After a quick Google you’ll probably come across the evil glute med or QL, grab a couple of stretches that are supposed to help... but they only really offer temporary relief, don't really have a long term effect... and you end up feeling like you have to do them all the time.

Rather than focusing on which specific muscle is the problem, be more focused on overall important movements you should be doing regularly for your hips to be strong and move well - just stretching isn’t enough!

This video will show you how to open things up, move your hips and back properly and also fire up your lateral core strength which is so often missed!

These things HAVE to be done together at the same time!

And yes, they have to be done by you, a few times a day consistently for a few weeks to get rid of your bad habits - ain’t nobody else that can fix this problem for you sorry! 💪🏼

It is never stretch OR strengthen, it is both! You need a combination to make a change, and that’s what makes The Simplistic Mobility Method so effective!

We have seen so many lazy plums turn into peaches of destiny over the years! So if you want to start taking a full body approach to your mobility in the most time efficient way possible, I highly recommend you check SMM out ⬇️⬇️

I’m here due to inner knee pain that seems to be occurring due to lack of hip strength and mobility. Love this channel!

I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw the thumbnail for this, lol! I started a 'boot camp' about two months ago and noticed that area is awfully tight and sometimes gets angry at me during exercises. I asked one of the coaches what that was and how to fix it. I got a blank look in response (darling guy, but I guess I caught him off guard). I ventured into Google and went down a lot of rabbit holes with no success. Now I'm just minding my own business and up you pop! Good job, algorithm. I'll add these to my routine ❤

I did this set just ONCE and my decades old one-sided hip pain was gone 95%! Several sessions of physiotherapy over the years had given temporary relief at best. I had resigned myself to this on and off pain being part of my life. And then this miracle happens in a few minutes! I have followed the tips shared in the video to keep the condition from recurring and I am pain FREE.
Lots and lots of love and admiration from India.
God bless you both, Tom and Jenny. ❤

Many thanks to you Tom and Jenny for the great advice. I’ve had an ongoing issue with what felt like Sciatica and upper bum pain. These stretches that i’ve been doing for a few weeks have really worked wonders and mean I actually sleep better and function better through the day. As a teacher I now get off the seat regularly and do these and the pelvic tilt stretches. I have a stretching routine in the evening where i combine these and it takes around 40 minutes! But the benefit is now so apparent. The kids also join in now as i’ve explained about how tight muscles and joints get so it’s it’s had a knock on benefit. Keep up the great work, it’s the best stretching advice on Youtube

Dang, I needed to watch this today ! I forgot about all these exercises. I have went from stretching to much to strength training to much . Thank you so much Tom, this is beyond helpful .

Started at the gym and ended with right side upper bum pain. Thankfully I remembered there was a Tom Morrison video called upper bum pain 😂
These exercises have given instant relief, particularly the side plank. I will be doing them twice daily until the pain is resolved. Thanks ❤

Oh goodness, i hit the jackpot pot here today! I would fall into the addicted to stretching category never seeming to get relief! Im up in years and have been bothered by one specific area for almost two years! After only the first exercise i got some relief and after all of them, i still was feeling some relief!!! Im.amazed and so very grateful! Thank you so much! This may change my entire world!!! What a relief 💞

[mosphere]

Wow wow wow thank you so much!!! I've been doing confused searches online for where to even start with this issue!
Thank you for this clear and helpful video!

[aaronkaaimarino]

Thank you! The standing cross leg exercise demonstrated here is the strengthening exercise I've been looking for! Literally been plaguing me for years but couldn't figure out how to describe where the pain/weakness was emanating from! Lifesaver!

[MrsSheffield]

As an Osteopath, I’m always looking for good YouTube channels to give my clients, this is definitely one of them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 😊

[McJiver]

Also if you have a very physical job, try taking a 3 day weekend. That fixed my lower back pain too.

[martinbrenner]

Oh my God!! Thank you so much!! I’ve been looking for these for at least two years. I can’t wait to get at it tomorrow. I can tell just from watching that they are going to target my painful areas. I’m pretty sure if I do these for a few weeks like you said. I’ll finally get my life back. I can’t wait to start on Sunday. I’ll pea for you in church tomorrow because I have faith that th we are the answer to my pain.

This really helped me with trekking in Nepal, which is basically walking on steps for hours on end. I could feel my "hip hinges" waking up already after I did a couple of these excercises. Good Stuff! 🙏🏻

[madaraisbetteethannarutohe]

I try and get my massage clients to look into this type of work all the time, the ones that do get great results, the others blame me for their pain because I’m supposed to fix them in one hour a month lol

[ftlikemike]

Aye, the hip hike range of motion was so evident at 5:48. Awesome camera work. Worthwhile move after seeing this, I wouldn't have thought as much just looking at the step height. 👍

[christosxefteris]

Did everything this video says and the results were immediate. I went for a heavier weight but nevertheless by the end of this mini workout the pain was 80% reduced. Definitely give it a try.
Thank you so much and keep up the good work 💪

[LostNative]

I've had this numbness and tightness for years. Going to physios for years. As always its better to find the skills people like yourself to show me the ways. 😊
Now I'm gonna start going these three times. Day and see how I feel in a week. Then go from there.
Laying in bed on my back for nat time is a hot numbness. So I really hope this works. I know I'm gonna start doing all your exercises. As I love excerise that's more about learning about the body than just running because we think that's what we should do.
Awsome so excited.

[nancysmith-baker]

Thankyou . Gotta work on the plank I like this one . Easier for a senior.

My wife recommended you as i have the sore upper glute/lower back -on-one-side thing!
