Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob.

what about hip pain and lateral outside knee pain and IT band pain???Glute weakness????

[isaiahkasekas]

It’s insane I get more help from you guys than my local doctors.

Soo, I've been having Avascular Necrosis of both femoral heads for about a year now, and since 2 weeks ago I also developed knee pain thinking that the necrosis has spread, I am schedulled for double hip replacement on 24th of September, hope the pain goes away from my knees. My doctor said the same thing, that it's most likely because of my hips (because I walk funny from the pain) so let's see. Thank you for the informative video!

One of the most beneficial tricks I learned from my stint in the Army was from a physical therapist who taught me how to identify and correct anterior and posterior ilium discrepancies. I teach it to my clients all the time. Fixes bursitis of the hip in 1-2 days and so easy to do at home!

Yep. Happened to me. Severe knee pain, had cortisone injections. Kept getting worse. Orthopedic surgeon I was seeing sent meto his partner, who did the joint replacements. 5 minutes with him, and he said "its your hip." Had hip replacement, no more knee pain. Was not happy with guy who treated me for 2 years, and never looked at hip.
Good video.

This episode is "right on" a problem, which I have developed, stemming from a related scoliosis issue. My left hip rotates forward when I walk. I have been focused on hip adduction drills to relieve the knee pain, but I may have been looking in the wrong direction. I forgot about clam shells. Listening to you two, always gives me a new persperctive(s).

[tummalalakshmi]

Wow I literally needed this right now thank you so much 👍👍

[jamiewinchester]

Hey guy's never ever heard this but when you think about it..it really makes sence that it's really the hip not the knee!!! Thanks Bob & Brad💕💖💕💖

[ijg]

Thanks so much guys, your recommended by my doctor out here overseas. Any chance that PDF is still available and if so, where? Thanks

[maheramhaz]

a friend of mine recently is having knee pain. tests showed no problem in the knee. he told me that he only the elliptical machine. is it possible it is related to this? by the way, amazing videos you have

[neatcleanandsimple.]

You guys have such knowledge! Thanks to both of you and your team for making these efforts. Love from India l🇮🇳

[debby]

Thanks for this, I'm in agony with my knee so I'll try this clam shell exercise x

[azeemali]

Enjoy the content been watching you guys for years, as I journey through needing right hip replacement, however causing many pain symptoms in left knee and as you guys mention the offsetting mechanics of an offbalance skeletal frame even noticing issues with neck...

[tonimoraful]

It really does make sense.
Now I know why my aunt has a problem with her knee. Her knee turns in, and she limps. Doctors have never been able to figure it out.
She's 91 years old now. There's no way they would never do surgery to try to fix that now. But at least I understand the cause now.
Thank you!

Dear Bob and Brad, can I do all those exercises after anterior hip replacement as I am having a lot of knee pain

[nigelfrancis]

Been treated for knee pain by my gp for two years, 3 x rays, I mri scan, then a friend suggested might be my hip - lightbulb moment - thank you doctor for being u/s

[c.t.murray]

You hit the nail on the head. My hip is always sore and my knees are always sore I'm going to try that exercise. thank you both for such great videos.
