I’m 72, people, and I have arthritis everywhere! Three back surgeries and a total knee replacement(🇨🇦). I’ve just been diagnosed with GT Bursitis. Oh, yay. You two are brilliant, you talk like my massage therapist ! USE A CANE OR WALKER, people! I’ve seen too many folk hitching and 'cripping' and looking like FOOLS! Seriously! These two are right. Take their advice and get living!!❤️🇨🇦❤️
Mine would get worse when sleeping because I sleep on my back, and no matter what pillows or devices I used to try prevent the hip rolling outward, still, it would roll out, and I would wake up hollering in pain. It was a soft strap around the knees, just above the knees, that has allowed me to heal a lot and sleep through the night. This has helped for two years now.
You're fantastic. Ther pillow is a life saver. I get sleep,,! I was diagnosed with one leg longer than the other after a knee replacement and d developed bursitis on that side. I don't want injections again, they work, but the hassle is not worth it t if I can avoid it. I am lucky in n that I've discovered a cheap firm foam shoe insert on ebay that is the same thickness as the expensive ones the physiotherapist prescribed and I just put them in any new shoes. I even glue it then in my new sandals! I do get flare ups from gardening now and then, but they are short lived now. You are our first port of call for any pain. I tell everyone about you.
My leg length turned out to be a twisted pelvis. Didn't know I had a problem until I had knee pain caused from jumping on a mini-trampoline. The early medical approach was to xray the knee which was clear. Put on pain meds for 2 weeks and given a Levine strap. No improvement. It wasn't until I went to an Japanese acupuncturist that I learned the pain was referred and the leg is shorter because the spine is twisted. He manually untwisted, but that didn't work. I'm still working on untwisting. I understand it's from trauma that occurred early in mom's pregnancy. Today the diagnosis is rotational scoliosis.
I have been trying for two years to figure out what is wrong with my hips. My doctor has been no help other than to recommend some physical therapy which did nothing - because they never diagnosed the problem! Every single thing you said in this video about the cause and the exercises related to bursitis - is exactly my scenario. From the cause to the symptoms to the exercise that hit the exact spots of my pain. I have a terrible time sleeping because of this so this has a serious effect on my whole life. You have no idea how important this video has been to me! Thank you so much. At least now I know the problem I can start to focus on how to improve my situation. I really appreciate you taking the time to post this.
I feel you! I had that same problem. And it started to carry out to my hip flexors and my lower back. So once I started working on these muscles. The other problems went away! Doctors don’t know anything. I went to my doctor. And they told me “sciatica” and asked if I wanted medication. Lol like really?
I started having this pain during my last pregnancy at 41. It has something to do with relaxin in my case. It's come back on and off during the last 8 years. I recently went to a chiropractor who does SHAPE therapy and they had me lay on my back and they pressed on the boney prominence on my left hip while I was laying on my back and the pain is gone! They pressed so hard, they practically bruised the bone but I'm back in alignment. I went through some low back pain after the adjustment and now that's going away. Especially for women, this might be an issue. Pregnancy is very hard and all the organs and bones move. I have a strong intuition that's what happened to me. The timing certainly fit. Interestingly, my mom started having SVT after her pregnancy with me, and this same accupressurist/chiropractor pressed her stomach down and away from the heart area and it's almost gotten rid of her palpitations. This makes so much sense because eating too much or going to the bathroom could trigger them. Even the valsalva maneuver indicates that something is related to the other organs.
It is interesting how sacrioliac joint pain seems to be connected with hip bursitis. For me this seems to be the case at least…But then it is logical, it is often the same muscles (especially the glute medius) that are not strong enough. Luckily similar exercises seem to help…
Should you put a pillow between your legs when doing the clamshells (whether normal or the reverse ones)? I get pain if I bring the knees together in this position.
The legs can be the same length, but if the hip rotates up (I don’t know the medical term), one leg will seem shorter. Not sure how to correct that, but should exercises for that go hand-in-hand with exercises for this?
Layers of wool felt would work well for in one shoe instead of the other options. regarding the hip program..."Coming Soon" When will it be up and available to view and get the PDF???
Since you haven’t gotten a reply yet, I’m going to try to answer and say no, not on its own.. sounds more like lumbar spine issue pinching the nerve which can also cause sciatic hip pain.
We are currently in the process of uploading all the hip videos onto our RU-vid channel, and once that is done, we will be able to upload the whole series to our website. We cannot upload it onto the website until they are released on RU-vid. We are hoping to have this completed by the middle of March. Here is a link to our RU-vid channel hip series, which includes all our videos that we have uploaded so far on this series. ru-vid.com/group/PL8l32k1r15l5iQVvJytCOZlPDIzFz2rNo
Pls do a video on hoffas fat pad impingement! It causes me a lot of balance issues and has gotten so chronic to the point that it hurts my low back and glutes! Hope you can add it to ur list of videos and suggest some exercises
I needed passive stretching , relaxation , n repetitive series of motion to learn the whole concept of walking. I had a superb physiotherapist . Pioneering in CP-rehab. Tender stretching on the floor. Etc. This won't do.
A chiropractor and a sports medicine doctor told me I have one leg longer than the other and I can’t remember which one they said it was. Is there a way I can find out at home?
Hi.... i have a painful left hip. My movement is limited and can bearly lift my leg from a sitting position. Also when i cycle the same hip slightly clicks but its painful, i have turn my food outwards to pedal. It also painfully clucks when i pick things from tge floor. Can u guys help??
How long would I need to rest it for? I roller skate long distances outdoors and play roller derby, plus I stand all day at work. My whole life is repetitive motions. My hip pain keeps me awake a night and I desperately need some relief.
I have GT bursitis on my left hip (had hip replacement on that side about 9 months ago). Needless to say, it it too painful to lay on that side but I really need to build up my muscles. Do I actually lay on my bad hip to do the reverse clam shell exercises? Thank you for your help! P.S. I had a superior recovery from my rt knee replacement 3 years ago due to your videos. My ortho was amazed!
It might be more challenging to get the contraction face down. To get the best engagement of those external rotators in the hip lying on your back would be best!
HABITS 1. Avoid repetitive stress 2. If unequal leg length, custom shoe lift with cardboard, etc. 3. Stop leaning sideways while standing. 4. Avoid leaning while sitting 5.

Hi guys, I have a suggestion about the pillow between the legs: I made a kind of sausage- cushen from an old sleeping back. I rolled it up and made a long cover for it. During the day it is on the top of the bed and during the night I use it as a kind of cuddling pillow, to embrase it with my arms and legs (between the knees). It works good!
Hi , my name is Paulette, from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. My partner and I follow you both. My question is, will hip bursitis cause intense pain down my leg and to back of my knee? I also have varicose veins on the same side. Both are causing me intense pain. Thanks
I have R side glut med tendonopathy.. Interesting that as a regular leg routine I do 100 clamshells a day, 100 side leg lifts.. 100 side leg lifts with 2 lb was and yet when I went to the doc today he had me lay on my side and pushed my top R leg right down. He said "you failed the test.. your glut med is really weak." I told him my routine. I learned something important today... that my legs are STRONG.. FEW people could do this routine, but glut med is not firing. So doc suggested I do sidestep squats with red band.. work up to green JUST TO GET GLUT MED FIRING. Then after that he said step bad side foot on stair and lift other leg up to stair height... hips even... also to get glut med firing. He said NEVER do clamshells at this stage of pain that I have. They cause too much internal rotation which causes compression. He said that clams are most likely aggravating my condition... I will do your reverse clams (great tip). Love your channel. Would appreciate any comment.
Do a recovery video for people who did surgery for recurrent pattela dislocation. All exercise for come back to their games. Expecting 🧡 viewer from India 🇮🇳
@@david260481 I found out that my pain was from poor muscle mass in the right gluteal muscles. The pain was exclusive to one side but was corrected with clamshell exercises and a lot of squats!
Of course I started a walking routine after not working out for a year and this pain flared up. That’s what I get for trying to be healthy lol thank you Bob and Brad as always! I downloaded and printed the instructions from your website and I have it in my living room so I can do this quickly without having to remember!
I’ve started getting pain in the opposite hip to my hip replacement. I think it’s because I’m walking upright again after so long of accommodating a painful joint on the other side.
Last time I had this I ended up getting steroid injection. Worked wonders and lasted yrs. Flared up again with incr driving. My TENS machine is saving my sleep and works quite well but only when its on. The exercise with resistant band gave me some instant relief, starts to come back soon after but the instant release makes me hopefully it is hitting the spot. Will keep trying these!
Once again you have helped me! I’m a runner (and a PA) and I turn to you for myself and sometimes patients to see if I can avoid going to PT (it’s so expensive!!!) and you always help.
What to do ,where thigh muscles are damaged due to road accident ,result in to less flexibilty and then created avn in heap head,totally damaged walking
What are the most common long lasting injuries that could be formed from an untreated tear of the lguteus medius? I did something about a year in a half ago and i am still trying to get it diagnoses. When i move my hip to the side it hurts a lot and is sensitive to the touch. From 1/10 the pain i would say is a 1 by touch but when moving the hip in that direction i was telling you about i would say it is a 4/10 and i feel that near the edge of the femor. Any ideas on what that could be anyone?
Interesting. I have been suffering from gluteus medius pain off and on for over 20 years. Nobody seems to know anything about it. Have been to orthopedists, chiropractors. I cannot get any answers or any therapy that works at all.
It started with a pain on my right lower back side area.Then it was on my loweback and side hip. After 10-15 mins of walking I have pain in the front and side of my hip.Can u help me guys?I have been suffering this for like 4 weeks .Please somebody help me.
thank you so much! i'm going to try! i've had Gluteal Tendinopathy for years and am hyperlaxe so i really need the muscles but didn't know how to do it without hurting myself more!
CORRECTION (what I said below).. my homework from Sports med doc was put the GOOD side leg on stair and lift the bad side leg up using hip to stair height and release. Other leg can do also but am recovering from foot fracture on that side.. which is probably the cause of glut med tendonopathy. When I got rid of walking boot on L foot, I started walking favoring R foot. The doc said this is common to get glut med tendonopathy just getting out of the boot. Also in my routine I made a typo.. I used 2 lb WTS on SIDE leg lifts. Doc said that is okay.. but to get glut med firing, not bad for me but not useful either. Said problem is glut med not firing.. its not like I need leg strength.
How can one know if a leg is shorter than the other? I have a doubt but was clueless earlier before I got bursitis and started wondering what was wrong
My mri reveal I have medius and minimus glutes edema on trochanteric insertion. I had a hip surgery 1 year ago and recently I increased my strength in medical recovery exercices. Is this "edema" something bad? Or it can be? Thank you🙏 you are my favorite channel for medical recovery advices.
