The Gluteus Medius Trigger Points and Low Back Pain

[@Tami8161]

Excellent! As a person who has suffered from myofascial pain issues for 20 yrs, I'm very EXCITED to see your videos. I've only recently (like within the past 6 months) been having issues with this portion of my body--and the issues are so deep, we just haven't been able to deal with them. This is an awesome video, and you can NEVER know how much I appreciate it!!!

Brilliant, did this and my goodness it was sore but the energy just left this area after i streched it out and now all is well...thank you. Will keep on doing this massage, it really works!

Amazing explanation!!! I'm a therapist and also I suffer from gluteus medius and I've been misdiagnosed many times. Thanks so much for posting

As a physical therapist I see this to often be a powerful place to treat for people who have not had relief. Often they've seen their primary physician, a spine surgeon, a neuro surgeon, a chiropractor, and a physical therapist. The patient says they have back pain so the healthcare practitioner looks at the spine. Once we bark up the right tree the patient has amazing relief. Sometimes I also see pain down the leg that is similar to "sciatica" or "piriformis syndrome". Why the pain mimics the sciatic nerve pattern and is unknown, but treating that trigger point as described above is very powerful. I treat it with acupuncture needles using a technique physical therapist call "dry needling", but the major key is to treat that trigger point and awesome results happen if this is the primary cause of their problem.

I love the clamshell exercise, stretching, and manual interventions for treating this. Adding resistance on the bike and standing could definitely cause this. That's not to say doing so is a bad thing, but you'll have to be proactive to keep the pain down.

With a tennisball. Stand with your back close to a wall. Tennisbal against the wall and lean in to it. Make small circles and/of movemenst up and down and/of movements left and right. Succes.

A-B duction is usually pronounced that way to differentiate it from AD-duction. The "mispronunciation" is intentional.

P.T. McHaineyman Thanks. I was just about to post asking why.

[@Fiercygoat]

very good demonstration. Good job guys

[@hypnos315]

How do you do this to yourself?

[@MKisJ]

Great I tried releasing the trigger point and it helps alot thanks

[@denisevincent4050]

It works! It works! The pain is gone!

[@144Donn]

AND...the pain does not go away..You are just helping the muscle to break up and stop spasming yes? I watched a Chiropractor video and he seemed to be bale to turn the pain off by aligning the patient which takes the pressure off the nerve. Do you have an opinion on their approach vs what you demonstrate?

[@prophetl]

@maria Healy it can go either way some ppl say A-B or A-D duction instead of ab or add duction
