Top 10 Worst Exercises For Painful Bone-On-Bone Hip Arthritis

[@Liz-Grace]

This makes the most sense! I’ve hurt myself so many times doing all these unhealthy exercises. Decades of straining and over building the front hip muscles. Thank you for saying it out loud. I had so much pain until I just stopped and rested. I also palpated the flexors. Slowly after healing I will add some gentle movement but never again those awful hip impingement exercises they push on you, even yoga. I will follow your videos instead. Thank you for saying what no one else will say!

[@TS-iv9ml]

Agreed!! So much PT I see on KZbin are yoga poses...exercise & PT is not one size fits all.

[@jaclynrodriguezwerner5319]

I’m 43 have always been super active th last 2 yrs terrible hip, leg and groin pain. Just found out I have osteoarthritis right hip. I refuse to lose my mobility. Your videos have helped me. On to this new journey. Thank you for educating me!! You rock!

[@louisadpearce-thevoicesanc6080]

Just wanted to validate your determination, and say, "you can do it!"... I was diagnosed with right hip arthritis when I was 36 and I'm now 50 and I have been 95% pain free for the last 12 or so years, although recently it flared up again so I am doing the glute-strengthening program, plus using the natural remedies and life-style changes as described by Barbara O'Neil... its' working well. You can heal from this :) Best of luck!

[@pattyb7082]

It's great to have access to all of these different exercises that might help arthritis; but it is also overwhelming because everyone online says they have the answers to solve your hip arthritis problems. The best thing to do is try different exercises for a while and pay attention to how your body feels. If they don't work, then try some other exercises until you find what works for your body.

[@pjryan7447]

Happy to have come across your ideas. I am a 76 year old horsewoman. Hips are killing me when I mount. Sometimes cannot get my leg over the back of the saddle. Some hip arthritis but radiologist says severe, while PA says not bad at all. Help!

[@mariewilliams8382]

David, I have done every one of those 10 exercises and each one results in pain. I agree 100% on your explanations and am always conscious of using my glutes now in every movement throughout the day. I can feel the difference and I will always continue to be using my body this way. Many thanks for your valuable help.

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hi Marie, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're very sorry to hear that these exercises have resulted in pain. Many times the pain can come from using too much intensity or doing too much at a time. You may need to scale back. It's awesome to hear that you are now more conscious of your glutes throughout the day. That is a great place to start. If you can do glute squeezes many times through the day, every day but keep the intensity low, you gain some more strength and mobility. Small consistent movements will add up and you feel the difference. Once you build up strength you might be able to move on to these exercises, starting at the lowest intensity. Thank you so much for being part of our community. We hope you feel better soon and please keep us updated as you progress! 🧡

I am so thankful to have come across your channel. I am on a list for a left hip replacement, and just assumed I would eventually have to get a new right hip, because I was diagnosed with moderate arthritis in that hip (severe in left hip). NOW, I'm motivated to exhaust every single thing you say about hip arthritis, and do not want to discount the possibility that I can either avoid surgery in both my hips, or at the very least, avoid right hip surgery, and be in a place where my left hip will be healthy in preparation for surgery, and recovery will go more smoothly. I've also learned that my chiropractor and massage therapist, as well meaning as they are, have given me some recommendations that will only aggravate the problem. I've also gone the PRP route. Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so empowered and encouraged through what I am learning.

hi Suzanne, I was dignosed with severe hip arthr. in the left, and moderate in the right hip. I have been doing the program from this site, trying to eat anti-inflammatory foods, and using some supplements. I am 69 years old; its already a lot better..

@@Mia-rn2gk Thanks for your reply. I am so happy for you. I tend to think I fit the bill for needing surgery. I have next to no rotation in my hip, and when I move from a sitting position to stand it takes a minute for my leg to move with me. It seems as if my hip is in a locked position momentarily. I've had a few assessments by professionals that all point to surgery. I'm hoping I can subvert needing surgery for my right hip though.

Thank you for this video! I just found out that everything I was doing to combat my hip arthritis was making it worse! When you said that sometimes the exercises feel good and help while you're doing them, or right afterwards, they can cause more pain later on. I've been doing chair aerobics and chair yoga 5-6 time a week for 4 years and it helps during the day but when I'm lying in bed at night, my hip starts to really hurt. I will definitely be looking at your videos that show me what I should be doing. Again, thank you so much!

I really like what you are showing us about front vs. rear muscle balance causing hip and knee problems. I turn 60 in July, was too sedentary as an online special ed teacher for 7 years. Outer hip got angry and I had physical therapy for trochanteric bursitis (spring 2022), felt better until fall 2023 walking 31 miles in October and then 100 miles in November for fundraisers🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. Most of this was with 2 trekking poles to reduce weight on my hips & knees. I was sent back to PT (January for 9 weeks) because I had “slippy” sore knees. Knees felt loose, as if something would slip out of place if I stepped wrong. We did quite a few of the exercises you describe in this video 😬. Now the hips are less painful than my left knee at the pes anserine bursa area, but no obvious swelling. It makes a lot of sense that I need to strengthen my glutes to take work away from my quads, and I’m going to watch all of your videos to learn how to do this without hurting the knees. Donkey kicks on all fours was maybe too much lol but I plan to get there!

Thank you for giving me the clue about the mechanics of the movement and very detailed explanation of what is good and what is bad. All i had before was "do this, do that".

So what can I do for cardio if no walking or cycling?

[@kumaridesilva3992]

The way my doctor put it is: walk only as long as you can do it properly, but if you ware walking stiffly, and using compensatory muscles instead of the ones you used to use when you walk, you are going to create additional difficulties. Swimming avoids this issue. Since I don't have a pool, I just walked for 1 kilometer (about 15 min) and then I stopped and did my physical therapy exercises at home. As my glutes get stronger I think I'll be able to walk farther at a time

Love watching your videos and was wanting to know if you could share with me what platform you use to create your online courses?

I was contemplating hip surgery until I found your channel. I have now cancelled my surgery and have started following your recommended exercises. I do have osteoarthritis but I also have a complete glúteas medias tear of 1.8 cms width. In your opinion, should I contemplate surgery to repair this and, if so, will your exercises help strengthen my butt muscles?

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hi Jill, We’re really sorry to hear that you’re going through this. We understand how challenging and frustrating it can be to face such difficulties, especially when you’re working so hard towards your recovery. We truly appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us to support you on your path to recovery. It’s fantastic to hear that you’re exploring non-surgical options and following our recommended exercises. Regarding your gluteus medius tear, surgery is often considered based on the severity of the injury. A 1.8 cm tear is significant, but it’s worth noting that such tears can sometimes heal on their own, especially with appropriate rehabilitation. Our exercises are designed to strengthen the surrounding muscles, which can aid in your overall recovery and potentially alleviate some of the stress on the injured area. However, if this is a complete tear, then it may require surgery. Without a proper evaluation form one of our doctors, we would bot be able to determine this for certain. We can provide you with some general information that may help. “Hip Arthritis Help” kzbin.info/aero/PLJVIPiFvv1mbICbP6qlXUZwMyAJlKD1dt We do offer Virtual Consultations that allow you to speak to one of our experts about your condition. This way they are able to provide a personalized guidance on the best course of action to take. You can learn more about this here: www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/virtual-visit/ We hope this helps!

In addition to hip arthritis, I have AIC, the uneven hips, with the L side much higher. Exercises for the hip arthritis like the Bridge, seem to be contrary to the uneven hips problem. (It’s painful to do the Bridge) Exercises to relieve the uneven hips seem to be contrary to the hip arthritis. Do you have suggestions for healing both the uneven L elevated hip while also healing the hip arthritis?

Hey Patricia, We are so sorry to hear that you are struggling with AIC with the L side much higher. We can only imagine the pain and frustrations you’ve had to deal with.

Please post more What not to Do videos, so helpful! Especially as we progress and want to exercise for general health.. that’s where I am now but I occasionally get flare ups after exercise and it’s because I’m doing things I shouldn’t. How about lateral step ups?

[@wmgoxf22]

Hello, Very interesting, until now I only did the wrong exercises.. But what about swimming? I really like freestyle swimming and I like to dive with fins...Also wrong? Regards Roman

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hi Roman, swimming is good as long as the glutes and abs are the main driver behind the exercise.

[@evangelinewillows52]

Well, that was my entire PT routine. Hip arthritis is so frustrating. How on earth are you supposed to stay active and lose weight if you can’t freaking do anything?

[@stellaellstella2915]

All those exercises are in all the exercise classes I take and have taken for years. Can those exercises actually cause hip arthritis or bursitis or even tendinitis? My left hip starts to hurt right away at the beginning of my silver sneakers class.

[@jeffreywise4807]

For the exercises which you caution against because they unduly develop the quads (such as cycling or sit-to-stand), is the concern alleviated if the patient ALSO focuses on doing lots of glute-dominant exercises? My body has many different exercise needs, not just the mitigation of hip arthritis, and so taking away the benefits of the stationary bike as well as sit to stand (among others) would really be a loss. Also, does your concern depend on the STAGE of the hip arthritis? My left hip arthritis is at a very early stage (or at least, the pain profile is very early stage) . I can tell there is a problem because it hurts on rotation but doesn’t really hurt while walking. I’m familiar with the stages because I went through them on the right side and actually ended up having the hip replacement surgery for my right hip. . I’d like to try to avoid or delay surgery for the left, but I also have to lose weight and deal with back and other issues that I have, all of which benefit from some of the “bad” hip exercises.. So, if 1), my hip arthritis pain is pretty early-stage; 2) I do lots of glute-focused exercises; and 3) I try to focus on glutes even while doing sit-to-stand and stationary bike, can I do the proscribed exercises? If not, I might just have to continue doing those exercises because of the benefits they bring for my other problems, and resign myself to the inevitability of hip replacement, unfortunately.

Can I do hip flexion exercises if I make sure to train my hip extensors so the muscle strength is balanced?

[@jill2100]

I'm very concerned about getting cardio in. Besides my hip osteoarthritis I also have some issues with my heart. My doctor said bicycle elliptical and walking are also okay to do as long as i dont do inclines or higher level numbers. I must admit I was very depressed after watching this video I had already figured out which machines at the gym could cause problems with my hip, but I always thought the cardio machines were okay. I watched your video on walking properly while concentrating on the glute muscles and wondered if you could do a video on bicycling which I would be devastated if I could not continue doing.

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hi Jill, We are so sorry you have been struggling with hip osteoarthritis and heart issues! Thank you for sharing your experience and for your kind words. You can still cycle as long as it doesn’t cause you any pain. The exercise should be generated from your glutes and abs to avoid exacerbating the issue. If you feel more tired and sore in your thigh area after cycling, it could cause a problem. Ideally, your glutes and abs should be the areas that are sore and tired after completing the exercises. We have a hip arthritis help playlist that you might find helpful. You can access it here: “Hip Arthritis Help” kzbin.info/aero/PLJVIPiFvv1mbICbP6qlXUZwMyAJlKD1dt Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not. If you feel better after trying it, we encourage you to look into our Hip Arthritis Recovery Program. It includes cardio exercises that can aid in your recovery and is progressive, so we can meet you where you are in your recovery process. The Hip Arthritis Recovery Program is a comprehensive guide designed to lead individuals through the 4 crucial phases of hip arthritis recovery.

I have had bilateral hip replacement 35 years ago. So far so good 🤞. However at the moment I am suffering from knee pain according to your knee video three months ago I at the 4th stage. My hip replacement is no arthritis it was because of long term steroids taking. My knees are bent slightly. Please let me know if I need replacement at this moment? I am going to see my surgeon soon

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hi Roshini, Having surgery is a very personal decision and we wouldn't be able to tell you if you need surgery without a proper evaluation. What we do want to let you know is that you know your body better than anyone and if you do not want surgery it's important that you ask your healthcare provider for conservative treatments. We have a video that we would like to share with you that discusses what kind of questions to ask you Dr. to learn more about what treatments are available for you. “11 Questions To Ask Your Doctor When They Suggest Knee Surgery” kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZCnfXyIoNR6nq8feature=shared We hope this information was helpful for you.

I have had hip pain for years and have been doing all these exercises in pain only to find out I am bone on bone. I value your information and explanation. I don't feel good waling on level ground and feel better going uphill or down hill, is this ok? What do you think about using an inversion table or traction to create space? I just started using it for about 3 minutes 2x a day and I feel improvement. I am beginning to focus on glutes. Thank you.

#7 that hip flexor stretch is what started my pain journey. I went into overdrive with that one for a few months after my running on the treadmill. I only do it randomly these days and not very hard.

I went to an osteopathic PT. He told me that my doctor misdiagnosed me. My doctor said I have severe degenerative disc disease in my L1 and L2, and this is what is causing all my pain. I can barely walk anymore. My PT said that I do have degenerative disc disease, but the pain is coming from my hip due to arthritis, not from my L1 and L2. I'm wondering if your hip program can help me fix my hip arthritis and not cause problems with my L1 and L2 degenerative discs. Please let me know?
