Gotta be a physical therapist. This is important information. We got to the gym and even meet with personal trainers and nobody talks about mobility, joint mal-alignment or weak stabilizers or biomechanics in general then we can't understand why we are in pain, cant make gains, or get injuries. I need access to this kind of help 😢
As a personal trainer, this is the majority of work I do with clients. So many people have biomechanical issues, and they have to be addressed before strength training. Sounds like you have to find another gym!
Hmmm I’m a trainer and I would love to know what gym you go to because my brother in Christ we talk about literally all of that haha biomechanics are a huge part of helping the client understand the purpose of the exercises in their program and how they will …. Aw fuck it I don’t feel like typing anymore
Not stretching, but strengthening! I have come to realize this so many times in the past. While stretching a muscle that is nagging me, like the obliques, or glutes or hamstring or the lower back, makes me feel amazing, the weird ache never goes away. It is after strengthening it with consistency and patience, that the pain goes away.
True, I had a similar problem, slight pain in the left flute and a clicking noise for months. Tried stretching but it gives temporary relief. Now I have incorporated a lot more single leg exercises on my leg day, and it feels so much better.
yep noticed also switching routines (different exercises) much as possible for a given muscle group helps a lot - hit things different ways to get the in-between stability muscles
As a massage therapist seeing how you explained this and showed that it’s not always stretching that is needed but strengthening of muscles too, I appreciate it. Great video 👏
This is so true. For months, I have had those pains and I decided to do clamshells side planks and bridges. Just 1 session and I am feeling way better. I have been going to Doctors and emergency room and no one talked about strenghtening.
Finally some proper physical therapy based on proper anatomical understanding, good diagnostics and evidence-based treatment. Unlike those chiropractor quacks that act like the human body is a like jenga tower that just needs to be straightened.
I've had sciatica several times in my lifetime and it's always been chiropractors that have fixed my issue. I once tried an osteopath and his solution only caused me more pain, and he had the nerve to charge me $75 for a useless office visit.
@@nikoniko893 You are aware that osteopathy is just a quackery with no scientific basis right? That's night and day compared to what a proper physical therapist does. And they do have manipulation techniques to alleviate pain like sciatica. The big difference with chiropractors is they will then follow it up with the crucial additional exercises to strengthen muscles, improve posture, motion and/or mobility to make sure the problems don't come back.
I’ve had this pain on my right glute when performing lunges and all their variables, tried all the stretches there are and the pain was still there, specially when I tried to lift more weight, a thing I did noticed was the fact that I could do more lunges with my left leg (almost twice the reps) than with my right leg, it’s been a couple weeks of doing these exercises and the pain is gone! My goal is to do the same reps with both legs, thank you so much for all your help, god bless.
I always wonder, Do we need to just work on the weak parts? or on the both sides? Lets suppose, left leg performs less range of motion than the right, So we need to perform the drills on the left side only or the both? Anyways Great Content as always❤️
when i snapped a tendon in my shoulder and the way he would 'rest' my shoulder between training sets would be to work my other shoulder, so i always did both sides as a way to rest while in-between healing my injured shoulder. so i did an even set on both sides if that helps your answer
No. I thought about this too. Do both sides. Even if one side is stronger doing both will only further strengthen both legs. You are only as strong as the weakest link.
Focus on problem areas so you can get back to working out evenly. Uneven workout means unbalanced gains, so equality is key, but you’re not going to get balanced gains if there is an obstacle.
You want to do both sides, usually. Always start with the weak side, focus on slow and controlled reps, and let the weak side set the workout. What I mean by that is that if your left side can only handle 10 lbs. for 5 reps then the right side also does 10 lbs, for 5 reps.
Omg this helped so much!!!!!! Thank you Ive been having hip pain the past two days on my left side. I'd usually call the chiropractor but it didn't feel like my hip was out of place. Did the mobility test and it was exactly the same as shown, did the bridges and clamshells. It already feels better! Going to buy a band today
I needed this video 3 years ago 😅 after years of exactly this problem (sometimes so intense that my hip would just give out) I've done these exercises for 1 week and can already feel a massive improvement! I've seen several physios and none of them explained it like this and I was just given stretches to do! It's even reduced my sciatica! Thank you!
No joke, this guy taught me how to better feel my squat in my glutes than I’ve always done in quads and back. And that was …. Opening those damn hips up. That three point method with the feet helped remind me to focus on the pressure points on my base, and animation of the pelvis opening up did WONDERS. Thank you
There’s so much that can go wrong with our bodies. I wish I could be a spirit floating around. I’m tired of having a human body that feels pain so easily!!
omg I have this during any type of lunge/single leg movement/sometimes squats even bodyweight. I thought it was sciatica or something off from being pregnant. nope. I'm just weak 😅
Shit I had recurring left glute pain as well that prevented me from squatting or deadlifting for 4 months last year and it’s flaring up again but only on deads I’ll use the exercises mentioned here and see if it finally heals for good.
OMG!! This is my problem! Thank you so much! I'm going to try this. I've been going to see the chiropractor for the last 5 months and he has NO IDEA what to do with me.
Thank you 🙏 so much for this video! I have struggled with pain in my left glute and have been advised by doctors, chiropractors, and personal trainers to stretch more, but it did not help. I will focus on these strengthening exercises. I am so appreciative for this information!
Thank you! I was hoping you would cover piriformis syndrome. This is where my pain starts, then down into my leg with sciatica pain. I'm going to incorporate these exercises. ❤
God. Imagine if we could have quality healthcare and not have to risk losing jobs and houses/apartments just for trying to get the time off/money needed to take care of ourselves. Crazy.
I've had the same pain for 5+ months. Finally got an MRI of my hip. I have a labral tear in 2 places and gluteal tendonitis. Don't make assumptions based on the video, get an MRI so you aren't making things worse.
youreneed to stop using that word alignment if youre gonna watch his channel consistently. that term is used by pseudoscience quacks to explain why youre feeling pain.
I figure skate, and I noticed that I started to have the same pain when I landed my jumps because I've started jumping higher. I'm SOOO grateful I came across this video because the pain was starting to get intense after landing the jumps!
I think this is what I have. I did a few sessions of single leg step ups from 90° knee flexion to full extension, about 20-30 reps each side. Felt fine. Then about a week later (and about 6 weeks to now) my glute is super painful. When I do a glute stretch it does nothing, and it hurts more when I do internal rotation. But it’s got to the point now that every time I hip hinge (when I’m bent over doing something) when I stand up straight I nearly go in the floor because my hip sort of gives way. It’s annoying. I didn’t think my glutes were that weak but I guess I’ll try this and see if it makes a difference. These exercises, are they to be done multiple times a day for a set amount of reps? I’m also happy for any advice here from anyone, at this point I’m happy to try anything.
I need this hero who can save me from suffering. But that won’t happen. I have been spending money on chiro and physiotherapist for last 4 years on and off. Nobody could explain what is the main issue. Only hear- week left glute or unstable SI joint. 5 chiro, 2 physio and lastly tried 2 osteopath. One use muscle energy technique and I felt good everytime I went back there . But no home exercises was given to me. So as long as I can go back and spend the money , I was feeling good. But things changed, I stopped going there and now I am leaving g with leg glutes pain 😢😢😢
I gotta point out that in this day and age there would be a flood of gross comments but everyone is being respectful. Kudos gentlemen. I pray that y'all continue to improve and become men of God someday.
They’re exercises that you’d want to continue over time until balance between left and right is established. You’ll know that you’ve remedied the problem once you can do cold squats (in this example) with no pain.
I want for all physical therapists around the world to be like this. Instead of referring to some printout from 1998, that only gives you an incomplete workout, so you have to do it everyday for the rest if your life if you want it to work.
Good topuc! I had same problem over year right side and my running ground time was way longer with right leg. Never stretch it again it made it worse. I just did pause squats, it helped for me.
I need this guy to evaluate my right shoulder. Certain repetitive motions like hand sanding a piece of wood will cause of dull lasting dull pain and doing something like throwing a baseball really hard will cause extreme pain for a moment and lasting dull pain/grinding when I lift my elbow… how do you find someone like this who really knows what they’re doing?
Are you sure she didn't have an SI issue? It looks like she was losing tension into posterior pelvic tilt even before hitting 90°. It generally shows up as pain on one side above the glutes.
That was going to be my guess before watching this video. I had Piriformis and it bothered me for about 6 months. It was tough sitting for a long period of time. Had to cancel road trips and vacaction flights 😐
I have this pain but more too- my hips pop out of place and I honestly don’t know what to do. Imma try these stretches if I have the strength. (I’ll be careful though because my hips do come out)
