I’m a doctor of medicine & surgery. It’s great to come across a genuine Dr of Physical Therapy. I could tell straight away that this guy knows his stuff, a rarity amongst so many fake physio gurus.

[charleneinman]

I usually do these strengthing exercises in the morning before I get out of bed .I find that it helps me get thru my work day .

[roberthiggins]

Thanks so much for explaining that hip bursitis is a compressive disorder involving the IT band. Makes it much easier to understand the point of the stretches and exercises.

[vegasone]

I have it in both hips for about 4 years now
I've only been doing the exercises for a couple of days and feel a big relief already
Thank you so much
God bless you

[carmenbugeja]

Thank you for sharing, I have hip bursitis on my left leg and sciatica on my right side due to a bulged disc, hope these exercises are ok to do

[andreah]

I have both hip arthritis and DTPS. I can see being comfortable with maybe 3 or 4 of these exercises. I do the bridge every day. It's effective.

[lolitamiranda]

I saved this video and i’ll start doing it, thank you doc, i hope it will work, take care!

[dizungu]

Thank you Dr Tim. This detailed informative video has been a great help for me.

[tereservsherman]

Thank you so much for being so detailed in showing how to do these exercises! Also I really appreciate that you mentioned some things to avoid, such as lying on the bad side or crossing that leg over the other knee. I just started sleeping on my sides a few months back, and looking back it was around then that the hip pain started. I also cross my legs all the time, and the bad leg is the one I favor. Good to know, in other words! This is a great video and I'll be reading your article tomorrow.

[beniciabowcher-royce]

Great set of exercises - exactly what I need right now because I've had issues for a while and am in pain again

[WishingStar]

What about bursitis on the inner hip ? ..does anyone have a video for this please?

[SC-deto]

Hi as someone who has suffered with ongoing hip bursitis for over 20 years now I can tell you that even though I’m a fit and flexible person the exercise you show for doing Side-Lying Hip abduction is excruciating and there’s no way I can lift my leg much higher than just above my hip height without stressing out the bursitis into agony so this is not something someone who is in acute pain could achieve as it makes it 100 times worse!
I’ve learnt the hard way with that.
All the other tips and exercises do help though. Just an extra tip, is in standing position to raise yourself up and down very slowly from flat to on tiptoes as this helps flex the calf muscles and to do this for as long as you can progressing to doing it one leg at a time and then you’ve helped yourself without hardly trying.
I do this daily when I brush my teeth, every single day morning and night.

You are the FIRST physical therapist that understands my issues & pain! My bilateral hip bursitis started days after my scoliosis fusion surgery with a Harrington Rod, T5 to L4. I was kept in bed for 18 days, then put in a body cast over a Philadelphia Collar for the next 6 months. In 1983 they had NOTHING to help my pain in my bursas, I never thought I’d have it permanently, but here it is 39 years later. It got better when I gained weight, but I got ill with projectile vomiting with a stomach ulcer, overgrowth of yeast & ulcerations all in my stomach & lost 35 pounds. I’ve had steroid injections, but stopped after 6, then have done physical therapy. I’ve NEVER been able to regain my muscles from before my back surgery & could lift a 250 lb person on an ambulance stretcher. I also still had my gymnastics muscles from high school, I took 2nd in all around in the county championships. I can’t sleep on my bsck because of the straight rod & sleeping on my sides is so painful. I sleep on a memory foam pillow, but after 4 hours, the pain wakes me up. Do you have a pillow designed with a hole in it? Please help! I’m still thin & even baggy pants hurt!

[ellekelammerinks]

I got directly painrelief by stretching. I am greatfull for your information. 🕊️🌹✨

[jatraveler]

[diecast_MikeEspo]
