Hey Bob and Brad. Just found your channel because I injured my shoulder today while snowboarding. I've come to the conclusion it is not a rotator cuff and I think it will heal just fine , most likely a strain in my opinion and from watching your videos. I did want to say though that your audio quality seems better 4 years ago then it does today. I see you guys switched to different mics so I'm sure that's why, just wanted to let you know! Keep putting out the awesome PT videos!

[@AntonisExplores]

Love these guys.

[@roomba4623]

I was working in the chicken coop today and when getting out I fell about 4 ft. Landed on my side on concrete. I don't know quite how I did it but on my way down definitely pulled my hip flexor. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@alisonzetic9489]

Thank you for your video. About five months ago I injured both sides of my abdomen. I used bands that were two tough pulled hard twisting on both sides. The next day my stomach swelled huge. It was hard and burning and contracting. I couldn’t sleep for days it was burning. I couldn’t get my doctor. I got a walk in and he sent me for an ultrasound. So much pain felt like I was being cut everywhere. Spoke to my doctor he said do stretches. I tried to do some slow work out and stomach swells again like I’m at the beginning. Doesn’t feel like my stomach anymore. It burns not sure when it will stop. 😰 Five months after injury.

Hi guys! I love your channel and miss you, Bob! I have a full thickness glute medius tendon tear.Can the tendon finally detaching cause extreme quad and knee pain, numbness and weakness. I also have glute medius atrophy and fatty infiltration. I may not be a surgical candidate. Will it get worse? What is the prognosis?

[@Emma-pi3jf]

hey bob and brad! just wondering if a tear will always bruise or no?

[@xorqwerty8276]

Great, what about torn labram?

[@nevengrujic6518]

Around 10-11 months ago I was attempting to get big forearms with various workouts. Long story short I didn’t get big forearms, I got wrist bursitis. The wrist bursitis has got decently better but still bending my left hand back is very painful. If you guys could do a video about things you can do about wrist bursitis it would be very, incredibly, appreciate. Love the videos!

[@AyeAre196]

If anyone’s hip adductor popped while doing some sort of lunge/squat and you’re able to walk with some minimal pain then it could be a sprain. It may be from excessive training saying this after watching this video and doing a self analysis

[@joseantoniomoch4006]

I've been doing deep, pause squats with a 110 lb barbell for years, and been experiencing what you just said for 2 or 3 months now.

[@omrisimpson9515]

I took a shot during soccer practice and I felt a pop in my hip abductor. I can walk with minimal pain but I'm wondering how long I'm going to be out for

[@satyajitnayak5970]

​@@omrisimpson9515 What about your pain?

[@satyajitnayak5970]

​@@joseantoniomoch4006 Are you okay now ?

[@kathyclark3714]

Can you have muscle spasms in your calf from the hip? I fell almost 2 weeks ago on my left side.

[@vaper8824]

Defiantly have second degree, I was at the gym and doing an overhead pull for back and bicep. I had to adjust my grip mid pull and all the weight went too one bicep and I had to over compensate the weight difference and pulled a muscle in my right arm.

[@joseantoniomoch4006]

This is hip soft tissue pain video. Maybe had you mentioned squats it would be more ad-hoc. Thanks.

Simply bent over to pick up a basketball… felt a sharp pain in my rear and was done. It really limits range of motion.

[@indigocarra2762]

What does it mean if I can't even raise my injured leg off the ground on the hip flexor test?

[@underthetrees4780]

I have an abductor strain from some bad techniques in my golf swing, how can I get back in the game soonest?

[@cathan3015]

Everytime I run beyond the needed speed for my body Some bad things happened to my body Before i did run beyond (I can run really fast but I don't have body control when running too fast) I broke my left collarbone Now I ran beyond again because I wanted to take the football and I heard a sound at the left hip Now I can walk normally but whenever I put weight on it the it hurts alot I have stretched it to the left and its freely but if I stretched my left foot to the right it's hurts very painfull

[@candymj2494]

Could you have strain your left lower back and hip at the same time? Or could that be a herniated disc because my pain comes and it goes and I honestly don’t know what is wrong with me..

[@joseantoniomoch4006]

How much and what technique are you using for squats and deadlifts?

[@user-ly7rg3ll4o]

I got a 2nd degree hamstring strain which took 3-4 months to heel. Stopped exercising until full recovery. I came back to this video and I think I might have a 1st degree strain in my glutes this time.

[@kenji-lol]

Have you recovered yet??

[@kenji-lol]

Or does it still hurt ?? And how long did it take to recover

[@ShadowNelt]

How's your injury now?

[@juniperjane8719]

I am having major hip pain, I had an Mri and they said there was some kind of tear but it was a permanent injury but no surgery would resolve it. The pain is now preventing me from sleeping I wake up all night on and off, I do not even sleep an hour at a time, tramadol doesn't even touch it, it now goes down to my knee, I can find the exact spot on the front where it is very painful, but it has now moved to the back too, What can I do?

[@joseantoniomoch4006]

That's the result of squats and deadlifts with huge poundage.

[@ef5842]

After 3 min on an exercise bike at the PT clinic, I had intense pain in the hip ligaments on one side, and then the other. The PT aide set the distance too short between my hips and the pedals. He set the timer for 6 min, and walked away. I stopped in pain in 3 min of slow pedaling. I had just recovered after 11 months since the last intense hip pain from sitting in a taxi with short leg room. For weeks, I had trouble with normal movement. I was disappointed in this setback and wonder what's in store over the next several weeks? I had no hip issues prior to a year ago. It felt like a tear for months, especially going up the stairs. I seemed to completely recover, then I'm given a pedaling warm up exercise. Back to the doctor, I guess. Thanks for the video Brad and Bob.

[@BobandBrad]

Very sorry to hear this. We always follow the rule that if any exercises give you more pain or new pain, stop that exercise immediately. Even if that exercise was given to you by a medical professional. Everyone's bodies are different and not every exercise is for everyone, even with the same conditions. That's why we continuously try to come up with different things for the same ailment, as some may work for some but not others, so there's always room for alternatives! Best of luck,

[@jayterra2060]

😢I’m so sorry ❤

[@72Remsen]

Eye have a popping sound happening on my right side, hip/ leg

[@MCFC_EDITZ]

I heard a snap in my hip when I was going to kick the ball while playing football and I couldn't walk on it for a few hours. Its 2 days later and now I can walk on it not too bad but when I sit I cannot raise it. There was no bruise but it went really hot and damn did it hurt. The pain is mostly on the front of my hip towards my groin. Does anyone know exactly what I've done and what I should do?

[@zekestrand5518]

How’s it feel now?

[@faithahora]

hi love your videos but this one the audio volume is too low.

[@joseantoniomoch4006]

Same issue with their videos.

[@pattypeterson6791]

I went online, there wasn't a hip section!

[@lindaharrison3240]

Hi guys. Good series. I'm a 63YO adult amateur ballet dancer for 40 years and my hip makes me limp for that first 10 steps when I get up from sitting. it's very worrisome. I don't want to take ibuprofen because it's so hard on my liver. But I want to keep dancing. Any advice to make it stop hurting? Those 5 exercises were VERY helpful. Hip flexion got my hip on the right. Looking forward to that PDF. Thanks.

[@jamesianv]

you may want to think about dancing less, as we age more time is needed to recover also length of session could be shortened . I have to stop myself i feel like I can do much more but i dont and remind myself you are 66.5 years old. Even stretching can become a problem. To stop hurting Tart Cherry Juice is worth a try, massage, pineapple chicken IMO

[@joseantoniomoch4006]

@@jamesianv I'm 53. 6'3,230lbs. Still beat young guys in basketball one on one games. I use a 130 barbell for squats. Been experiencing this issue for about 2 months now, but still can dunk. Nothing fancy, mind you, but dunk it nevertheless.

[@dbm3154]

Hey guys I've been to a Patient 1st and ER I haven't seen my PCP or the Ortho referral yet due to appointments with no real diagnosis... my question is a few days ago I was suffering from a tail bone injury while moving and I saw a video on how to stretch the muscles around it... well those worked and now I feel like I tore a muscle one of those 3 tendon like muscles under the gluteous maximus... how would I know for sure ... as of now I can walk only after I stand on it for about an hour and try to bear the pain then I won't be able to sit or lay down without me doing the same for those positions

[@dbm3154]

It's like a dull ache once I'm able to bear standing sitting or laying down but it is a painful burn and it feels like fireworks are bursting in the immediate areas surrounding I was given Flexerol and Robaxin as well as 800mg ibuprofen and percocet and oxycodone and I still feel the burn

[@yaoming7780]

got me nervous as hell i was running half a straight and timing it for tryouts and i pushed it really hard and played thru the strain while at tryouts and i cant lift my leg

[@itspaintosee]

The same thing happened to me playing soccer. How long was it until a full recovery was made?

[@DiscoveryOwners]

I know this is an older video, but I just found it. WHY OH WHY is it that various PT’s I have went to for help don’t seem to know anything? No real test/evaluation. My current PT, even though I completely described my issues AND the fact that I have been almost completely sedentary for almost 3 years, immediately prescribed exercises, 3 sets of 10 (total 30), that ended up putting me in bad pain AGAIN for several days. They don’t understand rest but instead doing stretches to the same muscles that hurt so bad. I have been having bad hip pain in various areas for almost a year, every PT session seems to make something hurt.

[@jayterra2060]

SAME 😢

[@susanmercurio1060]

I have pain in the small muscles around the area where the femural neck goes into the hip socket, when I walk a few yards. What to do?

[@joseantoniomoch4006]

Yep, exactly what you said.

[@Martin-wb6gp]

Big from the UK guys. I’m altering my posture because of trapped nerve in my shoulder. What are your thoughts on posture devices? X

[@dragonrider9051]

They make you weak in the muscles needed to hold good posture in the first place. Becomes a cruch

[@ahmdnaube3745]

Anyway i can send you a question

[@lindaabraham8715]

Have you done any videos on hiatal hernia? Is there any connection between sciatica/low back pain/sciatica?

[@vallee3140]

dont know about you but my sciatica always comes from my lower back down my leg, its horrible.

[@sheilamarie6897]

I'm a lady truck driver. 115 pounds. I slipped off truck in September and slid down. My right hip caught the top step of freightliner. Steel plate like cheesegrater. I had bruise bigger than my hand for a month before I could even let a chiropractor touch me. Its now February. It still causes pain. I can touch spot like you said and it sends pain down my thigh. And I have a dent on my hip where I landed. Any help for self care is appreciated. Thanks guys.💋

[@leonidescastillo7177]

Hope you feel better , Amy other side effects from Injury?

[@diouranke]

Wow that sounds brutal, hope youre on the path to healing

[@pallyali786]

My left hip flexor is giving me problems. Some days it hurts then some days the pain is mild. I can still raise my left knee but at times it hurts. Occasionally I feel like a pop.

[@Zookid47]

I’m going through this right now, any update on what it could’ve possibly been?

[@xRavenMedia]

Kind of in the same boat here. Not sure what to do. Walking isn’t too bad. Some specific movements will cause more discomfort. Hoping for a speedy turnaround.

[@TheSilverlady1980]

I came off a galloping horse years ago. I disengaged my feet from stirrups as taught, tied the reins and lept off in a tuck roll. My left buttock hit a big rock very hard. I was unconscious. My family carried me from backfield on a lawn chair stretcher. Ambulance flew me to Toronto Mount Sinai. I had imaging etc done to make sure internal organs survived. One overnight and I was released by wheelchair. I was black bruised from left knee up to waistline including buttock. Years of pain I feel a lump like a torn balled up ligament. No one has ever investigated. I have had pre existing sciatica and now leaving my fifties everyone instantly thinks hip replacement. This torn bulge has affected my walking, my sleep and ability to sit for long for years. What Imaging or tests should I ask for? This is such neglect of a serious injury. Awful unaddressed pain.

[@rcoz6391]

Don't wait any longer. Talk to a Dr and they will know what imaging is needed and generally have to order it for you either way. Hope you find relief.

[@Dannytentoes]

Pretty sure that ball is a mess of tangled up fibers with no blood circulation Should consider very intense deep tissue massage or gua Sha scraping before messing your body up with surgery.

[@lharbour2854]

I see someone already mentioned this, but I'm going to mention it also - please, love these videos, but something has happened to your volume. It would be wonderful if it could be higher again.

[@joblow5517]

I definitely destroyed my hip flexor. I can't walk properly or walk up the stairs without severe pain. Even just being at rest hurts.

[@sophdamom]

How are you now Joe ?

[@Reneebenson]

I have pain after I’m on leg for a while getting comfortable to sleep is worse going to My dr tommrow

Its actually how evolution works small changes in the DNA or it could be a regression from Lucy the Australopithecus africanus .
