Hey Maryke i have a big problem. My tendon is so easy to irritate that i cannot do anything anymore. The last Time it got irritated even when i was lying in my bed sleeping. last 6 Weeks i did irritate it arround 13-15 times trying exercices that never worked, now my ultimate goal is to not irritate it anymore and at least beeing on feet arround 15 mins a day. I am paranoid so much that i cannot do a single movement without fearing to irritate it. You have any advice for me i am pretty worried i need to go to hospital soon.

Hi doc ! I am a victim of the hip pain you talked about. It 's almost 2 years since I fell in this problem.I have been to the doctor's twice . All they do is x ray and a prescription of medication that turns out at the end to be just pain killers .Thank God over the past 4 months my pain ceased but still can't stand on both legs. By the way I used to run a lot and play soccer until days before I get sick .All you said in your video applies to my case. I worked on lessening my weight. I will try to follow the exercises you prescribed and hopefully I would stand on my legs again . I let you know I m using two crutches to walk to avoid any deterioration of my hip pain. Would you plz give me more advice how to deal with this disease . Thx

Thank you for your information I'm going to the doctor tomorrow and tell him that I have a gluteal tendinopathy God bless thanks again!

[@lisalowrey2230]

Thank you SO MUCH for posting videos about this condition. I have been suffering from this condition off and on for years, and had no idea what the name of it was until last week. This process started in November 2023 and the doctor thought it was my S.I. No one really listened to me when I kept insisting that the pain was in my hips, not my back. I did PT for 2 months for my back. I kept telling the PT about my hips, so he gave me some hip stretches to do with the back exercises. After seeing this video, I realize now that the PT actually gave me exercises & stretches that were re-irritating the tendons.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

You're welcome!

[@lylegrant7491]

Superb explanations of the nature of the problem and how it can be treated. I searched long and hard to find this.

[@kitteagirl]

I think I have finally found the answer to what is going on with my left hip, buttock, and thigh. I can relate to what you are saying. I've watched therapists all over the internet and gone to three different ones in my city for this issue. They all have different opinions, and none of them seem to be the right answer. It always seems that when I find a therapist online who seems to be explaining what I am experiencing, they are located in the UK!!! The UK must have some terrific physiotherapists!! I'm having an MRI in a couple weeks, and I am going to be sure to mention this to the pain anesthesia doctor I see. I am not happy about possibly doing steroid injections, but I am a determined and devoted person to exercise and health. I would not let the injections stop me from treating the injury. I know the injections wear off and are not the final answer. I''m looking forward to viewing more of your videos! (I'm also looking forward to hopefully getting some sleep tonight!) 💤 Thanks, again!

This was so incredibly helpful. I was diagnosed with calcific tendonitis of the gluteus medias/gluteus minimus, and now I understand what to do and not do. Way more informative than the doctor. And it all makes perfect sense! Well done! I'm thrilled!

How are you doing to date? I hope you are better :) I have just discovered this lady, her advice seems helpful and really superb!

[@Maquilishuat67]

Liquid gold right here. You explained it better than my doctor did.

[@imtherapycat]

I have just found your video, thank God! I gradually developed pain in the lateral hip while walking an unruly dog for months. I would step on the leash to halt her suddenly, and finally (after the hip became very sore) realized that the sudden stop and holding of the leash with my foot was irritating my hip! I'm a 67 year old woman, so obviously post menopause, and I understand that's a risk factor. Long story short, after being prescribed piriformis and ITB stretches for months, I just stopped doing them. Nothing helped. Couldn't sleep on either side, unable to climb stairs on that leg, yada yada. I will be focusing on strengthening without compression, and providing better support to the hip while attempting to sleep. Thank you so much!!!

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Thanks for sharing, and good luck with your recovery!

[@massageistherapy]

Excellent presentation👏🏽. Soon as menstrual cycle completely stopped at age 50, this gluteal tendinitis and bursitis set in. So happy to be done with monthly cycles but immediately swapped one old issue for another new one😖 out of nowhere this condition appears during pandemic of 2020 when I no longer went to the gym. Have seen 2 different orthopedic doctors and neither of them understands the subject by even 1/3 as you do…these are gems you dropped here. Thank you🙏🏽. You’re truly doing God’s work…eliminating the mystery of hip pain. Blessings to you, always and forever🙂

[@aurabijou3073]

I am a physical therapist with recent diagnosis gluteal tendinosis, bursitis and labrum tear (trifecta). This is a wonderful video with excellent education and self help. I have found it very useful also to do weight shifting in place (slow controlled shifting with focus on balanced movement and co-contraction at hip joints). progress to small sidestepping and eventually sidestepping up an incline. I recommend small movement Tai Chi, especially lift onto toes and rock back on heels--good, slow, controlled balance exercise that requires stabilization at pelvis. USE PERCEIVED EXERTION SCALE when you exercise--NOTICE when you are going beyond what feels somewhat hard--that will usually lead to poor results (re-injury) You have to find patience and self control. Slow but steady gets your butt back in gear!

[@c.tucker95]

Yes !! Tai Chi

[@Katie-vy5rd]

Thanks.. I have the lovely trifecta too!🥴

[@c.tucker95]

@@Katie-vy5rd I guess I do as well. So how do I know if I am hurting myself worse verses strengthening. I hurt constantly whether moving or not.

Are either of you two up for a laminectomy or thr! Ortho want to do a thr on me yet surgeon said let's settle the back down first. Thank God. And so no surgeries yet and for some reason I just am scared to death to do the thr. Esp when ortho hasn't said one word about the trifecta....torn labrum and gluteal minimus atrophy and tendinosis. I just happened to read that on my report.

[@Katie-vy5rd]

@@c.tucker95 if your orthopedist will recommend a THR.. then you have net requirements which I think may be your answer.. my brother has had had 2 total hip replacements and one knee.. he said hips were a piece of cake compared to knee.. if you decide to have the hip I think you got this.. I have found that it takes more energy for me to hobble and it's just getting the rest of my body out of whack because of the of the compensating... And wouldn't it be nice to just feel no pain again anyway good luck I hope that helped

[@amandahussey]

Thank you so much, I have suffered hip pain since summer of 2023. I went to physio and still had pain but the last few months I was doing really well. I have been working out and decided to add glute activation to my routine and my hip pain came back full force and I have been in pain for the last 2 weeks. I did your exercises and exercises from another video with the same concept yesterday and this morning and felt immediate relief! I am forever grateful 🙏

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Glad it helped!

[@DragonMagick]

Same here! Since June 2023 have had physiotherapy 3 x. 1st said " tight muscles overloaded glute" 2nd said piriformis , new one said " trochanteric bursitis ". I am at my wits end and can't walk ( which is am activity I love) or do normal strength training- even physiotherapy exercises hurt!. I just tried Shockwave Therapy for the first time the other day. Which exercises helped you? Please and thank you❤

[@ProjectJake]

I feel like I was nodding and saying yes the entire video 😅 I am super grateful that the physio I have been seeing for this issue has provided almost the exact overview of causes and treatment without putting the label to the issue which this vid has just explained for me!

Absolutely, without a doubt, this is the best video I have watched concerning hip pain. She is the first person that explains often you can have Gluteal Tendinopathy AND Bursitis.

I see this was posted 2y’s ago, but it came through my YT feed, but alas, this subject literally never gets outdated, Especially the way that you explain it!! There are some wonderful people out there putting out exercises to help with pain, but they give you exercises that you can’t even do!, because you’re in so much pain, from injury, or many other reasons, and the way that you explain it with the realization that you have to start out somewhere (within your ability), and keep building on it.

[@jatingupta4026]

This is the absolute best video on the internet. I have been watching videos for this situation for more than 8 months now and I must have watched 200-250 different videos and none of them helped... I still haven't started your workout routine but you have explained everything that I was actually going through and explained why it is happening. Thanks docs!

[@jatingupta4026]

I'm starting to understand why clamshells and side lying hip abductions make the lateral pain worse for me now. I'll do the exercise variations that you told me about. If anyone reads this comment then please know that when the inflammation is tolerable start with the glute bridges because they've helped me but I'm still in pain because I did not stop doing clamshells and side lying hip abductions and all the benefit from glute bridges went to waste(not a complete waste as my si joint dysfunction is almost gone) I'll start doing your side lying hip abductions variations after two days from now and share the results after 2 weeks fixed

I have resumed walking and running more routinely for about two months now, and didn’t have any pain. Until two days ago when I bought a new pair of running shoes and now I’m dealing with ton of pain. 😢 I’m just glad it is not a hip joint related problem.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Also, if it only started a few days ago, then it should settle down really well if you just allow it rest and recovery time. So don't go crazy on doing too many exercises or anything at this point.

[@georgehofgren6123]

GREAT video & tutorial👍, Thank you. Minor layperson's input- i think the 'needling/massage' may provide more than just pain relief by 1. Bringing blood flow into the injured or stretched specific location, and 2. Allowing the person to 'feel' when the pain is lessened, in relation to their leg position so that they can use the position @ home (w/o massage) just to relieve tension. Lastly, advice for Younger adults... Train yourself to go Downhill (walking running hiking) e x t r a slowly. I feel there is way more pounding on the joints, esp the hips, when casually going downhill, because there is no pain until injury occurs, which may take years. In other words, though there is no pain in doing so, Do Not give in to Gravity when decending hills and keep controlled downhill speed, which doesn't happen naturally unless you do it deliberately. Thanks again 😊 -

[@tonyquance3737]

Really suffered badly from GT when I was recuperating from my hip replacements (very lucky, at age 76, I had both in 2022, Feb and Nov). When I'd resumed the ability to walk again without aids, walkers, canes etc..., I suffered with really bad GT after about only 100 yards. Much to my Border Collie's much chagrin, I had to turn around and wimp my way back to the car. A regular gym goer, I resumed elliptical machine use to strengthen my quads. The flesh was virtually hanging down from lack of muscle use, but weeks of this gave me back my strong thighs. But during a short walk recently, I developed GT (thank you Maryke, I now know what it is), so I resolved to do more walking to see if I could work/walk this condition away. Regular treadmill use now after my elliptical exercise has resolved the issue. Great video.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

So happy to have found this. First physio said it had IT band issues and told me to stretch, so that’s what I did and now I feel worse.

[@c.tucker95]

Exactly what I have been needing help with for years and years now and esp in the last 17 months now. Have not been able to walk and this is exactly why. My mri showed the gluteal tendinopathy plus atrophy in that minimus muscle from injury. Instead ortho surgeons want to do THR but have not once said anything about the gluteal tenonapothy. So I am afraid to trust them again. I feel they are not thorough enough. I am always an exception to the case and at the VA hosp they just lump everyone into one group and assume too much for my taste. So I've been researching and reading and researching and thank you so much for summing it all up for me. This video is THE best i have seen and I am going to mark it and make sure that this is the one that that everyone sees so as to describe my pains and probs plus my mri diag backs it up and then go from there .

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Sorry - it wasn't clear from your previous comment that you were asking a question - looked like a statement. Massage (ball rolling) helps some people but for others it can actually irritate it - so that is something worth testing - what happens if you stop doing that for a couple of weeks. You can do band exercises but that is only for much later in rehab, once your injury has built the tolerance to do so - if you do them in the very painful stage, it usually just keeps the pain going.

I have had gradually worsening pain in my right hip for the past 6 years. Different doctors have given me different diagnosis over the years, including hip arthritis, hip bursitis, and IT band syndrome. None of those things seemed to match what I was feeling, though. Exercises and stretches for those injuries have made the pain worse, and steroid injections didn't help. I often felt the need to roll around on a tennis ball to "reach" something to massage, but had no idea what I was "reaching" for, but I did know it was in the upper butt area. This video popped up in my recommended videos, and this sounds EXACTLY like what I have!!!! I tried the first isometric exercise using a large wedge pillow between my legs and for the first time in 6 years I have relief from my pain!!!!!!! I never thought I would be able to sleep on either side ever again, but using the large wedge pillow (instead of a smaller pillow) allows me to lay on my left side again!!! Thank you soooooo much for sharing your skills and knowledge to help others!!!!!

Wow! Such a perfect explanation of pain and super training and how to progress training! Thank you so much! 🙏

[@michelleaucklandnz5089]

Thankyou! the symptoms are the same as mine. Il be starting this regime now.

I've been in incredible pain since February. I've spent a small fortune on manipulation therapies, acupuncture, accupressure and massage. This is the most accurate description of what I've been feeling and helped me to then know what "not" to do! I've maintaining my long walks not realizing that is actually what's prolonging my issue. I'm so grateful I came across your channel. This was extremely helpful. Now thanks to you, I also know the exercises that will help heal the issue and help to keep and build my strength without making me any worse. The duration of the injury (5 months now) has been the hardest part. I think with this guidance I will be all healed up in 2 months. Thank you so much!

[@djplexiglass]

Kim, what happened since you posted this?

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

I’m using chiropractics but it’s not seeing much improvement lately My sole income is my job which is the instigator and continuing stimulus for my injury I’ve modified my movements but see no hope 🙁😭

[@ckiotontu]

I found this to be very informative and extremely helpful in terms of healing and recovery. I believe that’s the problem I have right now. The symptoms she described were so familiar with what’s happening in my hip/butt.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Good luck with your recovery!

[@sharkfaridi]

What an absolutely brilliant video. Thank you so so much!

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

You're welcome!

[@Nick-kf3io]

You are brilliant and this video changed my life! ❤️ thank you so much

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Glad it helped!

[@ld2197]

Thank you for this I've had this for over 6 years after nearly falling on my 3 year old who had fallen, I had to step over him or land on him (luckily I didn't) but I ended up putting all my weight on my right leg as if doing a forward lunge. My right hip has never been the same since & everything you have said is exactly as it is. I've always walked miles & sometimes felt the muscle pull in my right thigh so it's maybe always been weak. Very painful at the minute so resting then I will definitely be doing what you suggested x

[@NicksOnlineTromboneAcademy]

a terrible physio suggested a low lunge exercise to strengthen my hip - since then my pain has also been much worse!

[@AccidentalHiker1]

Thank you! This is me after my run. Walking is not a happy experience right now.

[@SallyFraser-ob6pf]

Your video is the very informative. Thank you. I am now seeing Alison one of the physios at Sports Injury Physio. She is excellent.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

So glad to hear that!

[@SallyFraser-ob6pf]

Do you think a very hot bath could cause flare to get worse?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Best to ask Ali. It will depend on your situation, with which she is up to speed.

[@7000bass]

Absolutely excellent, thank you so much for sharing this. Very helpful and the best presentation I’ve seen. Thanks 🙏

[@sherrismith4754]

Thank you I have had this pain since I started swimming laps. I do have an autoimmune disease I have been having dry needling and cupping with some relief of pain but always reflates. I will try these exercises.

[@ChristineCain-kf2hn]

thankyou for the detailed explanation. I think it be very helpful when i see my Doctor.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

You're welcome!

[@jonathanwilson7988]

You are an amazing teacher! Thanks for the tips. Helped my pain nearly immediately

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

[@silenceklareece]

[@veronicabrewer4601]

Best advice I've had yet for my hip pain!!!! Thankyou so much

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

You're so welcome!

[@wormemc]

It took me a year before I found a realistic solution to my issue which I'm almost 100% certain is gluteal tendenopothy. Super happy and could feel the difference in a few days.

[@olivelivy1]

Hi what was your solution out of interest?

[@wormemc]

@@olivelivy1 I started a regime of lying side leg lifts and I really did feel pain relief almost instantly. However I stopped that exercise as I wasn't getting enough results. That was my mistake. I gave up to early. I am now doing a variety of exercises, isometric and load bearing, for these two muscles and so far I feel even better results in terms of pain relief and stability. Reverse clam shells, isometrics with a belt (Abduction) and standing on the floor(also abduction). I'm using reduced night pain as a measure of effective load and exercise volume. I have a lot of hope with this workout. I also bought a wobble board and have started trigger point compression with a tennis ball on the upper attachment of the glute medius. I need to start running again. Good luck with your recovery.

[@paulinechapman5669]

OMG..as soon as you said..gradual onset..and pain after stretching..my brain said..eureka now l can deal with the pain..thank you..🇨🇦

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

You are so welcome! Best wishes for your recovery.

[@theisabelgray]

Horse rider here... just been diagnosed with this. This now makes so much sense

[@juliajulesiscool684]

I’m a horse rider too I’ve had countless mri over 3 years and always return with no change to gluteus minimus tear. Now at 7 years since initial diagnosis and surgeon just advise tramadol and nsaid 😢 riding does aggravate it I just wish there was a fix 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@chadweissert5853]

Thank you so much for the video. I just started a delivery job with UPS and have extreme pain on the right side just as you described. I forced myself to work yesterday and hoping I can continue working (getting in and out of the car).

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

I deliver for Amazon Out of my car So I’m getting UP every time Not just stepping OUT like the van drivers get to It’s given me this horrid condition I’m getting out very slowly now, pivoting my HIPS in the seat and standing on both feet, pointed straight ahead. Getting back in is hard to do slowly so I’m prob still injuring myself getting in Yes, 70x each day (70 deliveries) I’m so sad that even this I rly shouldn’t be doing. I can’t do retail jobs as I have a deformed foot so I can’t stand & walk 6-10hr. (since I’m in USA, I get out my left side and it’s my left greater trochanter feeling like it’s coming thru!)

[@carefreedelight2355]

Excellent! So clear and helpful. Your straightforward but high level analysis of all the different parts was wonderfully accessible . Thank you for taking the time to do this. I didn’t know where the pain was coming from , it felt like my bone had splintered because it was just not going away and I was continuing to strain the area! You also made me want to do the exercise so that I would be able to resist such tendon damage in the future. I did not feel afraid, but empowered and a tad silly for not doing exercises before!!!! Many, many thanks.

[@letsgogaming8700]

Thanks you amazing I’ve been in pain for 15 year wish my doctor said something about it besides saying I have it on my mri

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Best of luck!
