Thanks so much for this. I have not been able to put my pants on standing up since having a baby seven years ago and no one has been able to help and yet this video has helped more in a week than any professional help for years!

Please shop around for better therapists. Most in the medical profession have been capture by system design and will not even consider improving their repertoire.

Going to try these. I've been feeling stiff in the hip joints for a while and then I missed a step while coming down a ladder and over-stretched the area. Took me 2.5 months to stop limping with pain! Hoping these will help, because I struggle getting socks on now. I'm only 52. :(

Many thanks Dr Candy, a really great video. At the moment my husband doesn’t need help putting his putting his pants (or trousers here in the UK), but he has arthritis in his left hip so, apart from me helping him he wants to be able to do the exercises you’ve just demonstrated. So your video is much appreciated. 😊

What is the best exercise/s of the one with a lumbar- spine surgery? And with osteoarthritis..right knee pain causing the right leg to be shorter than the left leg. At first my legs were still longer & when I reach 72 & now i am 75 yrs old i noticed that my right knee & leg became shorter & not straight compared with my left knee & leg. Because of osteoarthritis my right knee & leg became shorter & not straight anymore & difficult to walk due to pain.

Great video, but my problem is not with my knee or the hips. It is due to the inflexibility of the spine. Or rather, the inability to arch the back. Tying the shoe lace has become such pain I have started using Slip-ins. This aging thing is really getting painful.

Swimming is a good exercise that likely won't hurt your hip. That said, it's probably not likely to substantially improve the problem either.

Thanks for this video. Very informative. I'm dealing with hip pain on the side when doing just two movements (putting on pants while standing and swinging my left leg into the car). Been doing PT for about 4 months with really no resolution. I was never told about the exercises you show here. Can you tell us how many reps to do the exercises, and for the one where you're seated, lifting the leg, then holding it, how long should we try to hold it? If I still lived in the St. Louis area, I'd come see you!

@More4Life 7 ай бұрын

You're welcome. I usually don't give sets and reps because it varies by person and severity of condition. My general answer is usually 1-2 minutes for stretches and 10 x 10 second holds on the sitting one you asked about and for the balance exercise.

@LFUFMNX 4 ай бұрын

The exercise you show of lifting the knee and using the hand to assist holding it is exactly what I need. I wish you had a recommended a regimen (do ____ reps, ____ times a day). I also watched your Can't Lift Leg To Get In Car video. Also very good.

@More4Life 4 ай бұрын

Glad the videos were helpful. I rarely give recommendations on exact number of reps, sets, times per day etc because it's different for each person based on their condition. If you want at baseline, basic recommendation, try starting with 10 times holding for 10 seconds each, once per day. You can do more or less as needed.

Most modern joint replacements are lasting 20+ years. That said, you'd need to talk to your doctor to figure out the specifics of your symptoms.

Q: Could there be a nerve aspect to this?❓ I feel as if my muscles don't get the message. I can't get my feet high enough seated to even get a pair of underpants under them.

They're probably not the exercises for you then. It's impossible to make an online video that applies to every person. Contact a physiotherapist in your area to get an evaluation for your specific problem.

Can these exercises be done after a hip replacement?

@More4Life 9 ай бұрын

If its within the first few months after a hip replacement, check with your surgeon and PT as with some surgical techniques you're not supposed to flex your hip more than 90 degrees. If it's been quite awhile, then most likely they're ok.
