The side wall slide was so helpful when I had knee pain. I look forward to trying the dead bug!

[@sparkhealthyrunner]

Glad the wall slide was helpful for you and now you can try the progression with the band :) You will like the dead bug one for sure!

[@caroldrinkwater1273]

Loved your video. How often should these exercises be done? Thanks!

[@sparkhealthyrunner]

Hey Carol 👋🏼 thanks for the feedback. Normally I usually have my runners either do 1 set of all the exercises before all runs or 3 sets of 8-12 reps 3x a week if someone is weak in these all important hip muscles. I hope that helps 👊🏼

Hi Duane, Im sure you have seen my questions on other videos🤣 How should these be mixed in with weight training? Currently I am trying to get back from ITBS and it has been about 5 months. on Mondays and Thursday I am doing weight training (single leg press, single leg extension and single leg reverse lunge) and then mobility on Wednesday and Saturday (wall slide exercise, fire hydrants, donkey kicks, clam shells, single leg glute bridge and standard glute bridge mixed with hip machines). Am I doing too much? Been doing interval running on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday as well. I feel the discomfort more in my hip at this point, but feel like im close to being back!

[@sparkhealthyrunner]

Hopefully you are fully back by now, as I find this condition will be totally pain free after 1-3 months tops with the right combination of exercises and running plan. If not, you can learn more about the strategies to get over this with a customized approach here: learn.sparkhealthyrunner.com/coaching

Hi Dr Scotti, in the wall slide exercise, I don’t feel anything “working” around my hip. Instead, I feel the muscles lower, closer to my knee, working. Wondering what I might be doing wrong?

[@sparkhealthyrunner]

Hi Stephanie. That is. It uncommon. When this happens I tell my clients to poke at the outside and back of your hip where the muscle is and make sure you are concentrating on activating this muscle when you do it. Also be sure your hips are rotated forward when you do it like the video outlines 🏃🏻‍♂️
