It might be that this exercise is not suitable for you and I always advise seeking individual health care assessment as you may not have plantar fasciitis- hope that helps

my pleasure!

Thank you! Glad its been helpful!

Glad its been helpful and I am sorry to hear that was your experience post-operatively.

Great! thank you so much!

Thank you so much! And glad its been helpful for you :)

You're very welcome!

The top of the crutch can be lower than the elbow as there is not alot of pressure there anyway, as long as the hand grip is in the right place- hope that helps :)

Thanks for your comments! If you do not have bursitis or gluteal tendinopathy this exercise is perfectly safe and fine to do. However, if you have greater trochanteric pain syndrome, trochanteric bursitis or gluteal tendinopathy this exercise can make your pain significantly worse. It won't hurt at the time but will be painful afterwards, there are many other exercises that work very well, just this is not one of them :)- have a great day.

Yes I totally understand that. I have been working with hip pain for over 20 years and understand how much conflicting info can be out there. In my experience 90%+ of my patients who try this exercise end up feeling worse. The principal is correct- you need to strengthen your hip. But this particular exercise places excessive compressive load on the tendon leaving patients feeling worse and resulting in no progression. There are far better exercises out there. If in doubt- I suggest try for yourself and monitor your own symptoms. Seeking individual assessment is always recommended!

My therapist recommended those exercises which I performed diligently in therapy and at home. I listened to my body and discovered that the pain was worse, so I stopped doing the exercises on my own.

Great that you listened to your body! I do not recommend these exercises for hip bursitis and tendinopathy! @@rubybrown3803

You're welcome!

Same

I use a much smaller pillow. Sometimes I remove it and replace it.

HI Barbara! Its always best to seek individual health care advice. However lots of shoulder stands or plow poses can place additional load on that part of the neck. I can suggest minimising those poses and trying more chest opening or back bend related poses such as cobra or salabhasana. Hope that helps!

I am so sorry to hear that. Yes all of the latest research shares that stretches do NOT help and you need a specific strength program to help restore tendon strength and health. We have some free examples on our youtube otherwise more info can be found here and I hope that helps you! synergyphysio.teachable.com/p/hip-pain-relief-bursitis

HI Vlad! Often with trochanteric bursitis there is concurrent gluteal tendinopathy which is very often missed on ultrasound scan but can be picked up more readily on MRI. Gluteal tendinopathy is a weakened tendon attaching near the bursa and should not be stretched. More recent research does not support stretching at all in the presence of tendinopathy. Instead a strengthening program is recommended and all of the most up to date physio research has now moved toward using prescribed strength program in the presence of lateral hip pain. I hope this helps! Kind Regards Niky

@@SynergyPhysio it does. Thank you so much for taking the time to clarify!!

​@@SynergyPhysio thanks for this! 😊

Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that! It sounds like you might need to see a physio to get a individual diagnosis and management plan. However there is a difference between 1- reactive tendinopathy (which is more of an acute or sudden onset of tendon pain and often responds well to rest, change in activity and medication) 2- chronic tendinopathy - which is caused by many factors, one of which is people resting too long and then getting weak! That’s when a strength program helps. I suggest see your local health care practitioner to help assess you individually 👍 I hope that helps 🦋

@@SynergyPhysio yeah it’s more the no# 1 that you have out lined. Thanks for the suggestions.. 👍🏼💪🏼🤭😵‍💫🌻

Thank you so much for your kind feedback and I am so glad you enjoyed it!

Me too, never had this before.

Good plan! Try to avoid clams but instead try gluteal exercises like bridges or sliders or isometrics as these often work better! Hope that is helpful!

That's no good :(, there can be many reasons for this, but one of them is hamstring tendinoathy. It is best to seek the assessment of a qualified physio to check if this is your diagnosis :)

@@SynergyPhysio thankyou for the quick reply

Our pleasure!!! :)
