This channel has come a long way. I love these 2 guys, they seem like such genuine people in it just to help people out. To me, that speaks volumes.

My friend has done these exercises for "sitz" pain and it helped immediately! Thank you so much. Herzlichen Dank!

These guys are timeless. Praying for you Bob! Keep pushing the limits. Thank you.

Thanks a million for your help. Your treatments of ischial bursitis is an amazing healing for my sitting problems.

I have been dealing with this off and on and thinking it was bursitis. Your explanation of why it is is tricky to diagnosis has been exactly my thought process. Thank you for the strengthening exercises.

I love watching you guys and I've learned a lot from your videos. Keep being yourselves!

Very much appreciated with the diagnosis and treatment. It is spot on my sit bone pain. Many thanks,

honest to god, i check you two before i call the chiropractor, you two are doing the lords work man... i've honestly put a bulging disc back in numerous times and now my booty hurts cuz i just started a new job on the computer... you two are life savers

Thanks for posting this video! Just the trick with the pillow REALLY works! Instant relieve and I'll be able to use something like it on my upcoming flight! Will try the ice tonight!

Thank you guys so much for making video.

Great idea about the pillow for the bursitis; it really help. Thanks.

You guys are the best! Thank you so so much

Always so informative and great advice! Can we just all take a moment and give some extra acknowlegment and appreciation to the incredible ease with which Brad climbed up on the table at 9.30! Jeeeez - you would think it was a simple step in a staircase. Kudos! Well done guys and thank you for all that you do!

Very well explained and loved your recommended exercises

It’s great Chanel,it is very helpful for me,thank you again.

Thank you!! I am a farrier and I am bent over most of my working day; this helps a TON!

Thank you! Love you guys!

I started to treat for PHT, but now I know I have IB. You guys make a difference in the world. Hope everyone is doing great.

Thanks for the excellent information. All the best.

Thank you! I’ll see my doctor and know that I more than likely have sit bone bursitis! I sit a lot and ice is great. I sit on a gel pad for wheelchairs in the car.

OMG - so glad I found this. Sits Bones is exactly right. I injured/pulled this region while doing lying leg curls. I reduced the weight (already light) and worked 15 reps and those last few reps pulled that area. It isn't major pain but I feel it when I sit for over 20-30 minutes. I've been diligent with stretching. Folding my knee in (foot to groin) and leaning forward helps. However, while stepping into the shower yesterday my foot slid and I felt an immediate pull right in that spot. I sit in a ball chair at work. Sitting back farther like your demonstration of placing a pad under the hamstring, helps.

Great video guys. thanks.

Great info1 YOu guys are really good. Helped me loads!

Thank you guys.

I learned SO MUCH! I think you're both fantastic. Just subscribed looking forward to more vids!! :-)

Thank you! Great tips!

Bob and Brad, you guys are great. Thank you for all your help with everything. I have a suggestion to make in regard to this issue. I user a golf ball on a soft cushioned chair to cross massage the High Hamstring area that was hurting right in the crack of my right side butt. It did wonders, feel so relieved. No will work on your advised strengthening exercises.

This video saved my life

Thank you for this info. We think it is bursitis. Sitting forward on a chair cushion and icing feels better. Finally something to work towards. ❤️❤️

Very helpful! Thank you, gentlemen.

Very helpful. Thank you so much!

I have been suffering from pain in both of my sides!!! it is debilitating! It even hurts when I am laying down. I am not an athlete so this video clarified this issue a bit for me...or at least confirms that it is not my hamstrings....God! it hurts!!!

Thank you both for this information. Well explained and sounds like I have high hamstring tendinosis. Will work on those bridges daily!

Bob and Brad, the 2 most famous P.T. on the internet...Love u guys

I love how Brad says "right"! He really lengths the word out," riiight" lol.

Wow, at first I thought I had sciatica pain, but my back isn't really hurting so now I think I have either this Bursitis or high hamstring tendinopathy.

Great video helped so much

great video thank you guys 🤗

HIGH HAMSTRING TENDINOPATHY: I did soooo much research when I first injured my right hamstring and wish I would’ve found a comment like this, so I’m hoping this helps someone! I have injured both my hamstrings now, high hamstring tendinopathy I think, and have healed them through yoga and light weight lifting. I injured both of them during stretching, my right one made a loud popping sound when I did it and shot a pain through my entire leg. it was so bad I couldn’t lean forward to tie my shoes (previously I was very flexible and could touch the ground with my full palms easily) and I was limping the first couple days. It took me about 8-10 months to feel back to normal in that leg. my left leg, I tore the hamstring in the splits after 1.5 hrs of stretching, overstretched I think. It’s taken me two months or so and it’s making a lot of progress, but not quite fully recovered, I’m thinking by 4-5 months it’ll be fully recovered. I’ve made a lot of progress through stretching and light weight lifting. in weight lifting, I initially avoided eccentric movement or anything that lengthened and pulled on the hamstring such as deadlifts, squats, etc. and stuck to exercises like glute bridges and hip thrusts that strengthened the hamstrings without an extreme extension. with my left hamstring still being slightly injured, I do do deadlifts and squats now but can feel the discomfort of meeting right up against that pain. I can’t extend as far as I normally would in a deadlift. for stretching, I did whatever felt good and listened to my body. I found a wide legged seated forward fold to be the most difficult and painful and pinpointed my spot of injury in the left leg so I have been very very very slowly focusing on that and have noticed quite a bit of improvement and relief. I hope this is helpful for someone!

not my first video, subscribed I love your videos

Coupla Legends. Thank you 💚🤙🏼

Nice, don't my problems is either those, but good vdo, keep simple is great

I had long standing proximal hamstring tendinitis (5+ years) had PT, and injections, etc. without 'fixing it'. It wasn't until I found a new PT who did dry needling and boom, so much relief! She was able to get the trigger points in the glutes, the 'go-gos' and hamstrings. She only did the dry needling twice and then all the other modalities and all of the strengthening/ stretching. The exercises mentioned here are fine but I needed more.

Helpful video👍

Thanks...this really helped...great job!

Love these guys

Got busitis from sitting too much and cutting leg circulation at the hamstring when on my office chair. Seemed to get worse! Fortunately I can ride my bike ok but cannot run due to the pain. Is slowly improving. Tip: at desk, raise feet onto a box under your desk. Takes the pressure off hamstring and sit bone area where the busitis/tendinitis is. Thanks for the video. Will do those exercises + continue biking+ get up from desk when working more often…

Not sure what I have, but I am a long-distance endurance paddller. I am in my bucket for long periods of time. Right side only....

i really hope this channel takes off its great

Good doctors thanks so much

Thank you so much! Finally some relief for my sits bone.

I love these guys!

Thankyou very much...

Hey you guys are dead on the money with eccentric strengthening for this type of thing. Been doing that exercise on the ball you guys showed 1-2x a week for the past 4 months and been able to keep HHT at bay. As soon as I slack off and stop doing it, I find it gets aggravated very easily playing sports and I have to start doing the eccentric exercises again. I think that's a sign I need to keep at it. Thanks again.

My god such a little thing as cross massaging the hamstring worked a treat and jesus it's been so,so sore.Thanks a mil guys! Big love from Spain! :)

Very helpful!

I thought it was sciatica for so many years but think it’s actually my sit bones!

Would you recommend running through the tendonopathy ? Thanks for the Info & exercises, ordering the pure wave!

My pain is the "Tail bone" between the 2 you talk of. I try pillows, cushions,bubbles, etc. Whats the best thing to sit on if you sit alot at computer, etc.

thank you for the very informative video. I was wondering if i understood correctly: the eccentric exercises and the massage device are good ways to improve the hamstring tendinopathy, to improve the bursitis, you would use the pillow? Or are the eccentric exercises also helpful for the bursitis?

You guys are awesome

I had pain in the ischial area for over a year just from taking a long road trip in a car with not very well-padded seats. Next time I will know about the pillow trick and will do some pre-strengthening with the ball. BTW, mauve suits you; pls tell your wife she has good taste (in shirts).

Can you please advise me on which attachment and setting you are using with the Pure-Wave?

Thanks guys - this was super helpful. I'm both though - I like squats and I am an accountant!!! 😆

I been having this for 3 weeks coming on a month now still hasent fully healed and I been doing so much for it

What do you think using the TRX for the eccentric hamstring strengthening?

I have both lateral and medial meniscal tear post horn with acl Tell the excercises for me bob for both these

I have sit bone pain all the time now. When I sit, when I lay down. Its agony all the time. Now I know why. Thank you.

Great video! Question: Can an MRI or another type of imaging show which one you may have?

I developed ischial bursitis due to long hours riding a bicycle indoors. The small saddles used by competitive cyclists places pressure on the sit bones. When riding for 4-6 hours indoors the pressure can be constant causing the bursitis. So while I am an athlete, I did not have a hamstring injury emphasizing the need to get a good patient history when making this differential diagnosis.

Correct me if I'm wrong but bridging up is not an eccentric hamstring exercise. The slow decent however would be. Love your shtick and info!

Can i still strength train if I incorporate these eccentric exercises to my routine?

Thank you gentlemen I just so happen to be experiencing excruciating pain in that area. I had a fracture called an avulsion fracture of the right issue tuberosity, in a karate injury. That was in my younger years now I was just pulling a boot off and I felt a pop on my left and by what you were explaining I think it is upper hamstring. Tendonitis. I'm going to try the excersises.

This video helped me determine (before confirming with an MRI) that I had sit bone bursitis from sitting at work. I also have a bulging disk on my L5 S1. I am 25 years old. Was a VERY active athlete up until graduating from college.

The pillow advice has really helped. My doc thinks I have a high hamstring injury and bursitis. I've had trochanteric bursitis since I had labral tear surgery, but this butt pain is awful. I wish I would have watched this video before my foam rolling experiment. I'm going to try the cross fiber massage tonight.

Hey guys I’ve been watching your show for some time now and im a big fan of your work. I have a question for you. About a month ago i was practicing my spinning back kicks and as i was throwing my right leg in the air my left leg witch is on the ground pops( right below the gluteus Maximus) i immediately fell down and felt a sharp pain high up on the hamstring. A week later i had a 1 mile race and i went to race, so my stupidity caused my hamstring to pop again in the race. Since then I’ve been using ice as you recommended in one video and it helped but now the pain is kinda spreading. Its much les than it was i can walk and jog a little but i feel a 4/10 pain in mid hamstring and it goes down to the back of the knee. Also when i sit on hard surfaces and for longer period if starts to hurting. So my question is what do you think my diagnosis is and what should i do next P.S: I went to the hospital and they sed it’s fine just rest. But it’s obesely not fine 😂 in advance thanks 🙏🏼.

Hope I can get a reply to this my doctor said I have calcification never said how to get rid of it 2022 thank you very much Bob and Brad

Do these exercises actually heal the tendinosis? If so how long would it take? (Bob you said your wife had been dealing with this for years).

Does this oftentimes appear as an electrical shock, posterior and anterior ? It only happens when I'm running

You guys are fabulous! I thought I had a hamstring problem but thanks to your explanation, I know know it’s a bursitis issue and am sitting on a pillow in less discomfort than I’ve had for a while. Your advice always works!

I have hamstring pain along most of my hamstring but mostly my upper hamstring, especially at the very top of my hamstring in my glute, when hip hinging. how should I heal this?

I have hamstring pain and it took me 2 years to figure out my lower pelvis is shifted. so my left ichium is more medial and my left is lateral. What causes this to happenen?

I fell in June, got injection aug 9. After the two week follow up, would deep tissue massage be suggested, or just the therapy. I was in therapy for other back and knee . I have had massage for years and avoided invasive procedures because dr seem to not understand. Medication is bad. But ins doesn't cover, deep tissue, and there such a difference. Thank you!

helped in determining bursitis was really high hamstring tendonitis

Right sit bone thumps when I sit. Seems like ligament moving over it? Not sure. Any help much appreciated.

This is a great video and the explanations are concise. I am having the problem on both sides and felt the snap during yoga. I felt better with the recommended massage and will now start eccentric strengthening

My sit bones started hurting this year when I ride my horse and only then. How can I get a proper diagnosis?

What if it's both problems? Is that possible? I have a hypermobile SI joint and have had two si injections and one bursa injection. I'm pretty right now but am just curious.

So glad I happened upon your site. Very timely as I have been suffering with IB again and finally decided to see an orthopedist last month who confirmed the dx. about 6 weeks ago I one injection (each side, L>R pain) that took several days to for me to feel a difference, and even after the injection, with certain activities (tennis, stair climbing, hills) the sharp pain returns. My job requires a lot of sitting, and I try to get up every half hour. Does this mean it may not be bursitis? I have been bad with icing after activity (until right now - just got back from playing tennis, saw this post, and pulled out an ice pack to sit on while watching.) Thank you!

also could you recommend a top notch PT in the spokane washington area by chance?

Thanks for this video. I've been having physio for 6 months for what I thought was a hamstring injury, but to no avail. x ray and ultrasound showed nothing, I'm going in 2 days for a bone scan in case it's a fracture. Wish me luck!

Is it possible to have tendinopathy and bursitis? Can you do exercises for both at the same time?

One of the hamstring tendons has a fray on the under side. We injected amniotic fluid into each tendon 2 weeks ago. Time will tell if it repairs the tendon fray.

What type of doctor would I see for an injection? I have had this paint for over 6 months!

Thanks alot for this advice. I got the ischial bursitis from falling on ice and I landed straight on my sit bone. It feels like there's a "pins and needles" feeling in the sit bone/buttock when I'm sitting. It's very frustrating since the CT scan at the ER showed absolutely no bone injury or dislocation of any kind. :/

Is tingling in one leg down to the foot a symptom of IB?

Are the same exercises recommended if you are dealing with ischial bursitis? Do I need to stop exercising? Do the sits bones heal?

Also- has anyone with this pain felt like they were sitting on an orange or small ball right at the inchium?

Very informative videom thanks for it. Quick question: In order to determine if its ischial bursitis or high hamstring tendinopathy, wouldn't it be best to get either an MRI (on the most expensive spectrum) or an ultrasound series image? I suppose that should minimize any second guessing. Your thoughts? Thanks!

I was recently diagnosed with ischiofemoral impingement. This causes pain under my right buttock similar to what you are referring to here. They gave me a steroid injection with local anaesthetic. I have had problems for around 12 years with my hip area - it ‘locks’ and I get a strong stabbing pain which causes me not to be able to move. This is the latest diagnosis and they tried injecting the area with steroid and local anaesthetic. I felt no pain for around 5 mins when walking and then at 10 mins the stabbing pain returned and I could not put any weight again on my right leg. In other words the local anaesthetic didn’t even work. Do you guys have any experience with patients with this condition? And if so have you done any videos on this subject? I am in the U.K. and am struggling to get any consultants who know what to do. Thanks guys!
