You are speaking to me! I have never heard of gluteal tendinopathy probably because I have stopped going to doctors for my FAI when they told me to come back for hip replacement when I "can't take the pain anymore". Thank you! -now I know I can stop worrying, and keep on pluggin' away to get myself back.

So I Googled "Hip Pain on the side of the hip" and came up with "Gluteal tendinopathy". Which fit my symptoms as it didn't feel the same as sciatica pain. A lot of the recommendations were "stay off it", "stop walking or running", etc. I'm just about 50, so I don't like to take too much time off to rest as I don't want my muscle to atrophy to quickly. While these videos teach "Always Think Muscles", I've gone to just "Always Think Upright Health". So Googled "Gluteal tendinopathy Upright Health" and found this. I almost immediately noticed relief with just a set or two of this exercise. Even better the next day when I added into my morning routine. Thank you so much for these videos.

I’ve been waiting a long time to leave a comment like this: This video worked! My hip pain is under control in ONE day from doing this! I’ve had debilitating hip pain for a year and a half with episodes of it leaving me missing days of work, crawling to the bathroom and back, crazy muscle spasms. Just miserable. I had arthroscopic hip surgery to remove a bone spur on my femur and reattach my hip labrum. I thought the problem was solve , but as soon as I started walking unassisted again a huge component of it came back, leaving me immobile and crawling back and forth from the bathroom. I found this video and started working through the exercises (along with resistance band shuffling back and forth). In one day I’m up and walking around and took my family to the zoo. Thank you so much! So so much! It’s been hell for so long. There’s a lot of work to do but this video is the catalyst for getting a strong foundation back.

FAI fix gave my life back. I workout everyday with minimal to no pinching or pain. This exercise you showed was one that I almost did daily. I am more also now a shoulder fix client and is alleviating my neck, shoulder and arm pain. I too, was told to stop all sports, running, exercise and be ready for surgery to fix FAI in my 40's. Well, they were completely wrong. Thank you for everything that you and your team do.

You hit the target.. This video will surely help MANY people. This is very accurate. I had a bad fall on my motorcycle and it dragged me on one side, leg was stuck underneath it for about 100 ft. I didn't feel the injury until months later, and today, this very exercise is helping me recover what Doctors said would get progressively worst. It is getting better!!! A week before i ran into your video I began these very exercises and felt almost immediate strength and mobility coming back to life in my leg. SO i make this comment to CONFIRM that you are RIGHT ON TARGET!

I have FAI and 2 tears to the labrum, but my doctor does not favor surgery, fortunately. Both he and my PT say surgery recovery is long and awful and half the time the surgery doesn't even really help. They both feel that strengthening the surrounding muscles is the answer to FAI. My PT saved me! It took a year before I could run again, and I definitely still can't run as much as I used to (yet?), but I'm happy to be able to run a few miles a couple of times per week, especially when I couldn't even walk without pain before! I do a lot of similar exercises to the ones in your videos, plus a lot of single leg strength, balance work, and core work, plus flexibility. I highly recommend the types of exercises you guys promote! I agree -- don't rush to surgery! It takes some dedication to fix FAI, but it's so worth it!

Same here (meaning, I have 2 tears in my labrum. Unlike you though, I fell for the surgery after 3 years of PT not helping. Were there any exercises or techniques in particular that you feel aided you in your recovery? Specifically, how did you get the glutes and Deep 6 hip rotators to become stronger and get your hip flexor to become less dominant? (Assuming you had those muscle imbalances, as I do.)

How about a video that helps us figure out what is tight and what is weak with treatment suggestions? I had some good improvement with an SI injection for chronic R low back and hip/thigh pain. Now it's back. Been doing PT stuff but seems to be more back focused and my right hip feels very tight and aches. I'm wondering if this isn't causing my SI problem if my pelvic and hip muscles are imbanced and weak. If I do some hip work it really flares my SI symptoms. Super frustrated. Had a hip injection...helped a little with groin pain but didn't improve rest of pain. Facet injection did nothing. MRI of spine and pelvis showed mild arthritis but nothing significant. They did not MRI my hips. I'm willing to do the work but can't get anyone to take the time to do a good evaluation to see what's weak or tight. Do you do virtual PT visits?..

Exact exercise i needed! It was super difficult without ankle weights. The muscle that's activating is exactly where the pain is. Only on my right hip. I havent been diagnosed (pt appt is tomorrow), but im afraid to stretch in case the pain is caused by some joint abnormality and im just stretching the tendon or the joint. The pain feels like a warning sign. Like im in an unsafe range of motion, and the force is going somrwhere it shouldn't. Like a pinching pain, but not quite to that extreme. Doesnt hurt unless i extend into that range of motion. Didnt even realize i had a problem because my right hip lacked the flexibility to go into that range of motion for years.

My left hip is super stiff. Now starting to have stiffness in my right hip too. Also have soreness in the outer thigh area. When walking more than 10 minutes my lower back starts to throb and I have to stop. Needless to say since I have to sit down after standing or walking around ten minutes I have not been as active and have gained about 20 pound since Jan 2020. So the past year has been awful. It started a few years ago and I also sit at a desk most of the day. I try to get up once an hour to walk around a few minutes but I work in a busy medical office. I went to an orthopedic doctor thinking it was my hip joint.Xrays showed it was fine. He sent me to PT for my IT band. Then he set me up for an MRI. It showed a little arthritis at L4 and L5.The exercises they did with me did help the stiffness but the pain in my back when walking or standing it did not help. I am going to try the hip exercises but what would be good for my back muscles? I thought maybe it was stemming from my SI joint but there is just so many tendons muscles and ligaments that I am confused. I had a injection in my back at L4 or L5 but I could not tell any difference. Therefore they said it is probably not nerve related. The hip doctor I went to referred me on to a back doctor and he referred me for a epidural injection to try to see if that would relieve any pain. All I felt was a real heaviness when I walked right after the injection. And now it is back to the same throbbing pain after walking just a little while. It is just like I cannot find out my real problem.
