Gluten muscles...excellent warm up!

[@cpnstbn1266]

I’m struggling to do the exercises even without the resistance bands. I must have really weak glutes.. but I’ll order some of those bands

[@beverleyosbourne]

These bands have the tendency to roll. I had them and that's what they kept doing all the time. Just saying. I think the cloth bands are better

[@rogue29815]

I did some of these during physical therapy, others are new to me. My butt muscles are weak, so this will help out.

Yeah I know I'm a few years late, but it's still good stuff. One of the best tips gained from the few videos I've watched so far has been keeping the knees behind the toes. Simple tip like that could help many folks not only with their exercising, but anyone that does any kind of physical work.... it's a back saver.

I have been doing a lot of bridges to stringent my glutes. Stretching hams and IT bands too. This is a great video! I have noticed muscle spasms and balance issues the the last 5 years and I am hoping if I work harder it will help those issues. Yes I have seen PT and she said strengthen core and glutes. Thank you!

I've watched B&B & ED with bands & as a guy who likes to do his best, I found this tutorial very clear & simple. I have a set just like them, but as I've been in recovery from an operation, I've been reluctant to over do it. Maybe I'm being too cautious though I will try these out. Thanks.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome.

thanks, in this videos there are unknown exercises for hips and glute very effective

[@doncornelious7553]

Thank you for these very well done very helpful exercise videos. I’ve torn nearly all my glute muscles in the past. I was unable to continue physical therapy because of Covid. I’ve re-injured and am now resting and trying to avoid stairs, climbing, etc. I’m already doing very mild stretches and really looking forward to soon being able to really strengthen my glutes and hopefully being able to get back to climbing and skiing😀again. Thank you so much!

[@AskDoctorJo]

[@timmiked]

Loving your videos. Am currently in intensive PT for severe gluteal muscle(s) atrophy and lower leg muscles atrophy. I never knew my 20 year history of sciatica could lead to such a problem. I've told my Doc for at least 5 years (annual physical) "it hurts when I sit". He usually had no comment tho one year he did ask me if I'd tried a pillow. Duh. The muscles in my lower leg have also been atrophied for the same period. Now I can't walk far, drive far or sit long. I was walking 3 miles a day almost every day prior to this. Anyway, I noted for at least 6-7 years my right foot was inverted when I walked. I was having calf pain so on my daily walk two months ago I purposefully walked with my foot everted for a half mile. I was amazed when foot then was walking straight. However I then developed distension in the lower leg which remains. It becomes painful (burning) with my exercises which I do 3 hours total every day. No ankle or knee edema. The distention is apparently from water within the muscle itself. This is all before I began PT. I'm awaiting a neurology appt in 3 months. Sorry so long, I'm just wondering if you have encountered a problem like this and what your recommendations might be,

[@AskDoctorJo]

Thanks! It kind of depends on where specifically our sciatica is coming from. Is the swelling hot, red, or have a streaking appearance? What does your PT think is causing it?

[@timmiked]

Thank you! I have L5 S1 radiculopathy, 20 year history of sciatica. I've learned to with the sciatica. My main problem is the gluteal and RLE muscle atrophy. It's been going on for quite awhile but I didn't pay much attention to it other than mention to my Dr. at my annual physical that I had pain while sitting and my RLE muscles were visibly smaller. He would just say "that's your sciatica"..In Dec 2019 the pain while sitting became intolerable, I was literally in tears. He referred me to PT and the (DPT) detected the gluteal muscle atrophy with one maneuver. Here's the rub with the RLE atrophy. I walked (2-5 miles, wooded trails, level hike/bike trails etc, 3-7 x's a week)))with my affected foot (R side). In Dec 2019 I had the not so brilliant idea to force my foot to walk 1/2 mile in eversion. Well, "it worked". Or so I thought. Since then I walk with my toes pointing ahead normally. My concern is the atrophy in my RLE disappeared due to what must be fluid. There is no pitting when pressed by the thumb and it appears much like the good left leg. I see PT once a week and do 3 sets of home exercises 3 x's a day without fail. PT to increase to twice a week this week. Gluteal muscles are doing great, I can sit for awhile again! Not much has changed in the RLE though. So sorry this is so long but am very curious if you have ever encountered a patient with significant lower leg atrophy and have the affected part become suddenly distended like this. I can find nothing searching the web. @@AskDoctorJo

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome! I haven't really heard of anything like that, but it's hard to know for sure since I can't evaluate you. Unfortunately, it could really be a number of things. Hopefully your PT will be able to help you figure it out.

[@timmiked]

@@AskDoctorJo He came up with a possible cause. Perhaps the nerve innervating a muscle, or group of muscles, had been pinched or trapped and by walking with foot in eversion it freed the nerve. I'm just relieved he takes me seriously. Hopefully the EMG will reveal something. I'll let you know! Thanks again!

[@AskDoctorJo]

Sounds like a possibility. Good luck!

[@gailgarwood9944]

Recognizing your disclaimers, are all of these exercises suitable for a healthy 80 year old without injury? They look great and these bands will make workouts much easier, more consistant as mentioned and less in between time than trying to tie the full length resistance bands. You had used them once before for one exercise but haven't felt justified in buying them for one exercise. I suppose I could also use them for "walking" exercises. Could you perhaps do that type of video if you agree with the value? I really like the way you start exercise with a small number of reps and then increase. I guess it is a mental thing, but I am more inclined to do small goals and advance as I recognize my progress. Thx.

[@AskDoctorJo]

Yes, they should be fine to do. The loop bands are definitely much more convenient, and easy to show progress since the tension is the same each time. Yes, you can definitely do walking and standing type exercises with these as well. I will add a video like that to my list.
