I’m a keen runner, since my teens, I’m 67 and have run 11 marathons and dozens of halves and 10k’s, I run the park run regularly, no problems, in fact I lost over a stone in weight through changing my poor diet and my times were getting faster. I ran a 10k in July last year and set one of my best time…but…in September last year I was out on a training run with my running club and after a mile or so came to a grinding halt with severe back pain. I gave it a week and went out again, same thing. I went to a sports physio because it got so bad I was limping, could hardly walk, it did improve, but I still can’t run. One thing the PT did ask me to do was to get an x ray of my hip which I did, the result? I got a one line text from my GP saying I had “severe wear and tear in my left hip”, the PT did actually say that he’d seen the studies that suggested there is no correlation between osteoarthritis and any pain etc and that if the pain was bearable to continue running as it would not cause anymore damage..unfortunately I’m still suffering pain in the front thigh and rear buttock and initial pain on standing which is only relieved by regular pain relief medication…🤔
Thank you for sharing your running journey. I admire your determination to stay active despite setbacks. Keep trying to strengthen your hips to offload the pressure and return gradually as your pain allows. Wishing you a speedy recovery and a return to the runs soon
Thank you Sir! I enjoyed following along I could definitely fell it! I don't want OA to take hold on me. I want to take a hold of it! I will move forward with doing them to help me.
@@urbanbodyphysio You're most welcome, Sir! I am working on keeping myself from getting tight and stiff. I bookmarked your video to help me, and it surely helps.
Thank you so much, BUT this is very confusing. Many people are saying the major muscular imbalance is generally caused by WEAK GLUTES. So, most of our thigh muscles are strong enough and we need to strengthen the glutes to bring things into balance. You do have glute exercises here but you're also advocating increasing hip flexor strength. WISH I KNEW if i need glutes only or hip flexor strength increase also. My hip flexors ARE very strong so I think I'll skip extra conditioning there until the time that i finally get my (flat weak) ass strengthened. I HOPE I AM right!!
Great question. Everyone is individual so this video is to show people how to strengthen the key areas as most people are generally weak. If you find the hip flexor exercises easy, and glutes hard, then definitely continue to mainly strengthen your glutes but don't neglect your hip flexors completely.
