I cant not tell you how grateful I am for these videos. I have been in pain for almost 5 years..I am bone on bone in my right hip. This has been the most help!!!

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

YAYYYYYYY!!!!!! This is fantastic to hear Cari!!!! Thank you for letting us know that our videos have helped you!!!!

[@hoosierbaddy3052]

Put off getting a hip replacement for as long as possible! I just had my right hip replaced. There’s no words nor anything else to prepare one for the excruciating pain that is arthroplasty. Solid 10 level for the first month. At month three I still cannot lie on that side. It’s tender to the touch. I have no pain moving around. I’m back at the gym doing long workouts that includes swimming. Good luck peeps!

[@sambaprojectllc]

Great series of videos,but I have a question. I had one hip completely replaced 10 years ago in Thailand, and my new ceramic hip has given me no problems. However, now my other hip is giving me trouble. Any suggestions gracefully appreciated!

[@bernadetteholmes6160]

Same here and I absolutely refuse to have a hip replacement!! Research med beds. Drs are now being trained in Texas on how to use them! Exciting times ahead!

[@kingussie]

I am 67 and live in NZ. I have had one hip replaced (didn't know any of this stuff back then). My other hip has been problematic for a few years now (severe ware - bone on bone). I have gone on several regimes, but it is worsening. I have recently begun to eat an anti inflammatory diet and take the obvious supplements. I also read that intermittent fasting helps with the healing too. I discovered your channel last week. Your videos are amazingly helpful. As you said, not once have I heard anyone talk about glute strengthening, It makes so much sense. I have been doing some of these exercises and in this short time, I can already feel a difference. I also started your 'walking right' method today - It feels so much better. I have signed up for your course starting on the 14th . I can't wait to really get into it. I am confident these exercises along with the diet and supplements will help me heal and I won't need another surgery.

[@MelbaMeade]

You have helped me so much with sciatica. I used to hurt everyday so bad I couldn’t walk without cane. After doing your exercises for the glutes I am 98% better and rarely have sciatica pain. Thank you so much. Now I’m on to these hip exercises!1

I love love love your videos. I have had chronic "hip pocket" pain for several years which makes it often painful to sit in a chair for long. I know i have lordosis and was tilting my pelvis but it never occured to me that my glutes were weak. Suddenly this week, acute medial knee pain and i couldnt bear weight for a few days. Aha! Also glut weakness according to your vids. I am faithfully doing all your exercises. Your approach is proactive and prevention oriented. Thank you so much! I will be checking out your knee course. ❤️

Thank you for what you do! I have been dealing with hip /knee pain for a couple of years. I can't do all of the hip exercises from pain in my knee. So I switch back and forth between your knee exercises and the hip exercises. I have been doing all the exercises my therapist gave me, but I haven't seen a lot of progress. I've just found your channel, so we will see how it goes.

Ever since I first discovered your videos I've been doing what you suggest and getting positive results. Thank you so much!

I've had total knee replacement on my right knee and can't kneel on it (it's painful on the scar tissue). Can I do this exercise while standing or is there another work-around?

Have been doing knee stuff for about a week. I has worked amazingly. Still have a ways to go. I did similar movements in two knee therapies in the past few years. It seems their similar motions were too jarring like bending your knee and placing your foot about a foot to your rear to your side and pulling on a rubber band. IIt seemed to help, but now I can see that it was actually overstressing the knee and its various joints, etc.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy It has been just over one week that I have been doing some of your exercises and I definitely experience the difference. It helps me in my general day to day movement and I do not experience that sudden sinking feeling that I used to get when I walked around. I cannot for instance do the figure 4 squeezes in a sitting position but manage to do do them in a lay down position. It is also getting easier to do the exercises every day. I must also tell you, I have an electronic acupuncture machine that works with pads instead of needles. I also used that specifically to strengthen my gluten muscles. So, your exercises plus the machine helps me a lot. Thanks for the great work you are doing. It is really appreciated.

[@4nbop80user]

I Had serious hip, lower back and knee pains for 2 years. Walking was excruciating, sore for several days. PT prescribed Pool exercices + some I can do on my bed. I’ve done those religiously, high intensity pool exercices for 2 hours every other day (much easier and fun in a pool than elsewhere !) and daily the exercices at home for 1,5 hours. I made all prescribed exercices more intensive and much longer than prescribed (‘hold for 5 seconds became ‘hold for 20-30 seconds’ ; pull up knee became ‘rotate feet too’. I found out that doing those exercices after dinner results in waking up without pain. I keep going at it but in 5 weeks, I’m almost done with the pains. It’s not because the exercice is hard and painful that the result is better. Just get the right exercices for your circumstances and consider, in this exercice, that a slim person’s leg can weigh half of that of an overweight person. In a pool, everyone is the same…. Highly recommend individual pool gym if you have access to it.

[@Efeatherly]

Thank you for helping the many, including me! Can you help with questions so I don't cause more hip damage? I am building bone density and have been jumping rope, using the mini-trampoline, doing squats and walking backwards (cause it's fun). Will this harm my osteo-arthritic hip?

Thank you Dr Middaugh for all your help. I have a general question. If you have hip arthritis (bone-on-bone) and bouts of tendonitis and bursitis on that hip......is it advisable to bicycle (stationary or otherwise)? I ask because I have yet to see that on any hip-related exercise. Does the motion of cycling/peddling aggravate an arthritic hip? For me, it seems to make the tendonitis (inner groin) worse. Thank you!!

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey LisaDawnn! Using a bike will be helpful if you can get your glutes to work during the exercise. If you feel you are using your quads more than your glutes while using the bike, then you will likely make your hip pain worse :-(

Is there a workaround if these great exercises send pain through the sciatic nerve? The traditional thigh-over-knee sciatic stretch that used to help me so much, has become painful in the crease where my leg meets my torso. Also, thanks for explaining that the quads should stay relaxed in the first glute tightening exercise here... What about the muscle going down the inside of the thigh?

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Wendy! We're glad you can do these! Balance boards can help as long as you feel you're using your glutes more than your quads. It all depends on how you use the balance board. It may help your balance but make your knee worse.

[@wendyr9558]

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy The balance board does hurt my knees so I think I will stay off of it for now thank you so much!

I was told by a specialist, my hips are tight, and I need surgery, which I don't want. Up till 3 years ago, I was physically fit and very flexible. I went to a physio due to my limp, he gave me exercises, and said use a cane. I was also advised to use a walker, worse thing I ever did, because I became reliant on it. Now I can't walk without a walker, nor arm crutches. It's very frustrating, after me having a very good lifestyle. I was doing the exercises you advised against, now I know why I'm worse. My hips don't have pain, it's down my thighs, and knees😢 I had a pool, but I couldn't climb the ladder, and it was old, so pulled it down. Loved hydro, but the pool was not safe getting in and out.

Can I do some of the exercises on the bed? My back hurts too much to stand do it . Thank you .

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Gombe Vasudev, absolutely! You can modify the exercises to make them work for your situation.

[@AntonioLiberato08]

Doc is this ok to do with bilateral hip impingements and bilateral labral tears? I have left hip dysplasia also. I think I’ll be on doing these but what are your thoughts? I’ve done pt Chiro and every other doc and they want me on a bike which actually hurts… thank you!

[@debcatz8445]

I can kneel, even on my bed, can I do the butt blaster standing and pushing my leg straight back?

[@life-mm5do]

Do I need to warm up before doing stretches or strengthening exercises. I have been using a heating pad. Is this necessary?

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Great question life! It's an individual decision based on how you feel after using the heating pad. There is no right or wrong in this situation. Go for it if you think it helps you! If you can't tell a difference in your hip after using the heating pad then you can let it go.

[@CobraPR893]

These excercises are similar to the ones you have in another video that says not to do for hip artritis?

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Jose, can you list the video here? Which video are you referring to?

[@73MPH75]

Are these exercises good for hip bursitis?

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

I can't do the last two exercises without activating my quads. Anything am doing wrong?

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hi Francis, there is no way for us to tell without being able to see you attempt the exercise. We have a video that we will share with you that you might helpful. You can access it here: “3 Big Reasons Your Glute Muscles Won’t Work Well For You” kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipLQiaKopt12d80 It takes some time to have full control of the glute muscles especially if it's been some time since they have been activated. Just in case you are interested we have a playlist for hip arthritis help you might find helpful. You can access it here: “Hip Arthritis Help” kzbin.info/aero/PLJVIPiFvv1mbICbP6qlXUZwMyAJlKD1dt This playlist might be helpful as well: “Hip Pain Help” kzbin.info/aero/PLJVIPiFvv1mZF48A6w0CrTONLq2ZaVw3G 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. We hope you found this information helpful to you. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
