Best description and succinct video I’ve seen yet! So many videos lump all of this together and confuse you with mixed information and recommendations but this one is clear and informative. Thank you!

[tsirtosky]

i’ve noticed that when the pain gets really bad walking with a wider stance alleviates a lot of pain, and makes me concentrate on strengthening supportive muscles

[exannuc]

The evidence base you use and clinical implications you draw are impeccable and will definitely help me study through my last musc. clinical placement! Great work!

Well finally an educated overview of potential causes and studies around hip pain ie “Bursitis” Fortunately for me I am already following a similar senior hip strengthening program similar to your low intensity set of exercises Thank you for this presentation 👍

[johnshelton]

EXTREMELY well done. One of the very best presentations on the web.

I love how you referenced studies and showed the actual muscles! I’ve had 2 MRIs show bursitis AND tendinopathy (plus a labral tear). I’m managing the tear ok but my lateral pain has been so hard to treat. I’m thinking I’ve been too focused on addressing the bursitis and not the tendinopathy. Thank you so much for this video!

Thanks, gonna try these out. Hip is killin me after a few weeks of heavy running.

[glennlozuke]

Fantastic video. Better advice than what my PT gave me. I'm currently doing full body weights squats 2x a week with other calisthenics. Although I'm not experiencing pain or discomfort while doing this exercise, I am occasionally experiencing a sharp twinge in my left hip just by standing a certain way. Walking is fine. I'll give these exercises a try...thx

An Amazing presentation! You are maximizing your doctoral education and knowledge of research by sharing it with us. Of course other therapists apply their knowledge when they prescribe exercise programs for us, but some of us want to know more, and accomplish more when we take a more academic approach to our healing. It is reassuring to understand better WHY I am doing certain exercises. I am particularly appreciative of the information suggesting that inflammation is not always the cause of our discomfort. I suspected as much. We seem to blame everything on inflammation when we might need to get on with the anatomical/ physical kinetics instead of being afraid to move. Many thanks Doctor! Over the past 3 days, I have suffered excruciating left hip pain intermittently -- primarily when I wake, and after I have been sitting too long at the computer (like now), but I pushed the envelope this morning and did bridge exercises, half squats, tip toe and heel raises, and marches (on my back). I was able to get through the day on one 325 mg aspirin. I do not believe that I would have had as much comfort had I assumed that I need to heal from inflammation, and had I been afraid to exercise . Many thanks!

one of the best channels on yt and still unknown. Keep up the good work.

I think this is the best video. I feel it’s my right gluteus medius, hurt by overdoing HIIT, burpees. PT says Piriformis. I say glut medius, now kind of bursitis lingering. Basically I self diagnosed with help of web. Yes, proper strengthening all supporting muscles has helped, and proper gait, not hip hanging, etc. it’s a lot of thinking and new body mechanics. I’m 10 mos out now feeling 80% better. Doctor answered a question I had that we should challenge and introduce more as tolerated. Q: Can it entirely go away?

I self diagnosed glute medius, initial ibuprofen and rested for 2 mos- but my entire pelvis got de conditioned! Add back pain. Ortho sent me to PT, marginal help but permitted strength training. Personal trainer helped get me back on path of strength. Band work, proper glute and ab squeeze, (tuck pelvis in a bit) with everything I do; squats, walking. I have to do everything with the proper form- but it’s helped. I feel I’ll have to keep this up so not to get de-conditioned ever again. I wouldn’t have rested so long had I known. I advise keep moving with some strengthening as tolerated.

Great advice this described my pain exactly, now I can converse with my doctor for best course of action

[BurpeesBulgolgi]

thank you for your video! love how you went through research findings and then going into each movements at different levels. You were very detailed and the young lady doing each movement helped me to do them right. Thank you for breaking the time down on the comments also so I can go directly into the movements when I'm doing the exercises.

[morrisonsusan]

loved your siting of the research studies!

[lyndamedley]

I totally agree with you . These exercises are great. I do dome different yhings like bike ride, walk, yoga, pilates, light weights bench. I also have bands and agree side steps. Wonderful video.

[mpwise]

Thank you so much. Proof of research and results are valuable in any condition, as far as I am concerned. I am sooo exited to start a new therapy. My professional medical and physical therapies have not relieved my pain. 😮🎉😊

[mrskncts]

Wow! So it's not inflammation. Thank you for so convincingly debunking that myth. Does exercise really rebuild the tendon tissues? How long should you train at the different stages before proceeding to the next level? How can you calm down overactive pain receptors that fire at the slightest stimulus?

[izatrini]

Out of all the videos I watched this was the most helpful. I was just diagnosed with this condition. My doctor wants to do a hip X ray and go to physical therapy. Guess what all of that cost money I don't have so I am going to follow these steps to help myself. Thank you! 😊

[carolwilliams]

Thank you for this presentation and demonstration of exercises, I have been doing a different set of isometric exercises, but just recent;y mobility pain and distress he’s reappeared. I shall begin with some of your easier exercises

[williamrunner]

Best video on this yet! Very informative!
