The HIDDEN CAUSE of Gluteal Tendonitis (& How to Self-Treat)

[@YourWellnessNerd]

Was this the missing piece you were looking for??

[@WallyMast]

You Sir, are a game changer! This cured my chronic gluteal pain when nothing else did. I had been focussing, on physio advice, on strengthening all sorts of glute muscles. I now have nice strong glutes, but the hip pain didn't go away. But after rolling and massaging tightness in my lower back, after only a couple of days, the nightly hip pain that would wake me up has all but gone.

[@YourWellnessNerd]

Fantastic to hear Wally! Glad I was able to help connect the dots a little more!!

[@creedrocketball]

I have tried everything. So grateful your videos happened to be in an article I was reading. So much info you give that none of the experts I’ve seen has bothered to share! I had immediate results after doing the steps given (as well as the band stretches from your other videos). Thank you, so much, for caring enough to share this and to give others hope & necessary help to feel better! It means everything.

[@YourWellnessNerd]

Glad to hear it helped! I’m not sure it’s as widely known as it should be yet, and is more a reflection of what I’ve been able to find clinically over the years actively trying to figure these things out. May I ask, which article did you see it in??

[@andrewfoote8282]

This worked perfectly! Broke my rib 20 years ago. Had corresponding glute tendonitis. Never connected the two. Massaged my back and almost instant relief.

[@brendadoran4958]

Can’t wait to put this into regular practise. I do however feel better for doing the exercises. I’m keen to feel the result in the morning after it settles. I’m glad o found you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@YourWellnessNerd]

I hope it’s been helpful Brenda!

[@brendadoran4958]

I definitely feel it has improved after just a few days. Thank you

Thanks for updating this. Your method with the foam roller has been a godsend for relieving my lower back tightness as well as my glute issue. It has been an 8 month ordeal which was derived from an unexpected 3 year inability to continue my life long routine on the bicycle (cancer treatment) (was previously borderline elite level cycling) I believe my issue was an atrophy. Nonetheless after the injury I unloaded and used progressive Pilates and your teachings. I stepped back on the pedals in May and what really finally melted all the pain away was HIIT loading the muscles. Thanks again

[@YourWellnessNerd]

Awesome to hear you’re making some headway mate!

THANK YOU!

Hope it helps 👍

After a long bend over, I have painful tightness of my lower back and my front left-lower abdomen. I can understand the lower back but what is about the left-lower abdomen? That worries me. Thanks in advance for your answer. Thanks 🙏

Thank you 😊

Just warning people: I did exercise number 2 and was in agony with groin pain, which lasted for weeks. My sports medicine physician told me this is not good if you have some hip arthritis, aggravated by the internal rotation of the foot whilst lifting the leg up.

[@YourWellnessNerd]

Hi Bella, are you talking about the side-lying hip abduction exercise which is exercise #4 in the video? If so, I would respectfully disagree with your Physician. Your experience is highly valid and needs to be respected of course, however it’s important to try and figure out why a basic hip movement may aggravate someone regardless of any potential joint arthritis underneath. Clinically, the function of the hip tends to be more relevant than how it looks on an X-ray (for the most part) and one simple answer could be reduced joint mobility from muscular or joint capsule tightness. I’d be interested to know whether doing some relevant hip mobility drills allows a person with your symptoms better access to the above exercise over time, which is important as it’s a movement that everyone should tolerate in a perfect world. Hope things are improving for you either way!

Thank you🙏🏼

You’re welcome! Hope it’s helpful!

What other back mobility exercises would you recommend for someone with upper hamstring and gluteal tendonitis who thinks after physio/gym work/shockwave/dry kneedling and PRP (x2) over past 10 months - now thinks it's actually the 2 herniated disks in my lower back that are the source of contant pain!...

[@sarahsarah6349]

Instant relief from the back roll, would you recommend strengthening the back once back to fitness- how can we keep our backs healthy?

[@YourWellnessNerd]

Strength, mobility, and good postural practices - especially when sitting are often the way most people need to go!

[@katjastar3621]

which hip should I strengthen in clams? the one that hurts or the opposite? so many different opinions out there🤷🏻‍♀️

[@YourWellnessNerd]

From a general perspective, I would go for the one that presents as weaker on assessment. Typically I would expect that to be the symptomatic side - pain permitting of course!

[@katjastar3621]

@@YourWellnessNerd thanks a lot

With Fibromyalgia all soft tissue is tender. I focus on looking for restriction but using a roller or ball is very uncomfortable.

[@thestraightroad305]

It is a pleasure to think along with you, Professor. I wish there were constraints on violent rhetoric.

[@sufiyanahmed1136]

I have pain in outer and glutes always sore and painful after sitting for 15 minutes first started with right now left also painful. I did the excercises you mentioned but pain wasn’t control later had an mri of right hip its showing mild bursitis and edema on Greater trouchabter near IT band. Please suggest any excercises as it painful and burning.

[@theeprincess777]

I do glute focused work and my left glute is always sore especially in bed

[@kroyal4296]

I don’t know how to figure out the difference between the two pain spot in the glutes and hip and a tight spot. It’s just painful. I don’t know how to check for a tight spot. Please advise since you say not to poke the painful spot. I don’t understand the difference.

[@YourWellnessNerd]

I hear you mate. The tender and painful spots are often the most obvious because they naturally feel tender and uncomfortable. When we are looking for tight and restricted spots, it is more subtle. For example, a tight muscle may feel a bit thicker or a little more dense to push into when compared to the other side. This isnt to say that the tight and restricted spots aren’t also tender and sore, but it just means that we don’t want to be seduced by tenderness alone unless it also feels thicker, harder, more dense, less soft than the same spot on the other side.

[@kroyal4296]

I’m sorry this doesn’t make it any more clear for me

[@YourWellnessNerd]

No worries, in short, a tender spot is obvious because it either feels sore or not. A tight spot will feel thicker, more dense, compared to non-tight spots which should feel softer and more supple.

[@journeyali6788]

I have scoliosis, is this a potential cause?

[@YourWellnessNerd]

It really depends on the person and their specific circumstances. Scoliosis can have an impact from a broader perspective, but there often needs to be more specific dysfunction to explain why something specifically goes wrong somewhere else.

[@pabita07]

perfect timing as my right glute was acting up😢😌🙏🏼

Hope it helped!
