I was scheduled for a hip replacement in May. I canceled the surgery because I would lose 2 months of pay. I'm 74 and still have to work 25 hrs a week and can't afford to lose the pay check. You have no idea how your videos have helped! THANK YOU! God bless.💕

I have had hip problems for ages.... just taken your advice to strengthening Glute muscles.... in minutes the stronger pain subsided...and now after three weeks of regular practice I see the pain almost entirely gone..... the more practice...the easier it gets.... Thanks a lot its appreciated.

The glute exercises relieved lower back pain as well.

Thank you for honoring the Hippocratic oath 🙏🏼 Wishing you a wealth of health.

Am I grateful I found your channel! You get it, you truly get it. I was diagnosed with degenerative labral tears and severe cartilage loss in both my hips. Was told the only option was THR when the pain would become unbearable. When I found you, my pain was an 8 on 10 and I could not sleep at night. After doing your exercises, I am now at a tolerable 0.5. My stiffness is gone, I walk for several hours without getting tired and I go up the stairs without holding on to the railing for dear life. Thank you so much! Do you offer personalized online physical therapy for those of us not in Texas?

The fidget helped immediately! I will follow all four! You have solved a major reoccurring problem for me! I am an active 70 year old. You are amazing!

Thank you for you great advice.😊

Hi from Germany and I am so lucky to find your channel. In one hip junction I have just 1mm cartilage left and there is hope with your exercises. Am 64 years young, have always been active and was diagnosed with coxarthrosis last month. As a biologist I have already researched about hip exercises but these here really make sense.

You have helped me so much with your videos! Thank you

Thanks, I will try these to strengthen.❤

Awesome ‼️💯

Thank you so very much for this ❤❤❤

I found your channel today, I’m so much in pain for years, everyday it’s just gets worse, my doctor only cortisol shots , but I’m not gonna give up, this game me hope, thank you!!!!

Brilliant I’ve delayed my hip op these are so helpful thank you

You are super. Very clear. Excellent pace of talking.

Hello, Thanks for your very informative and detailed videos, how wonderful but wish I had found them years ago!!!! I have HAD a total hip replacement 6 years ago and soooo wish I hadn't!!! I am very fit but I injured my hip when lifting a heavy table awkwardly when moving house and then the downhill slide of favouring the painful area and then gradual deterioration by not attending to it. Through seeing a great physical therapist we almost fixed the problems but was convinced by professionals the hip replacement was necessary. My replaced hip is now, over the last three years, as painful as it was before the hip replacement despite all the various strengthening and releasing exercises I have been doing. On a "bad" day the pain through my hip and leg when standing after sitting, is sufficient to mean I avoid sitting! I am not always aware of what triggers the problems. I have targeted strengthening my glute muscle whilst turning off all front work eg hip flexor, quads etc. which has been very beneficial. Often it's sleeping that's the biggest problem so have trained myself to not bend my legs when side lying. My other hip is still doing well despite being told that would also need a THR...

You are a Godsend 😊

Awesome Exercises for my hips

Love it. Thanks. I haven't come across these exercises at all and it makes sense.

You are amazing, thank you

Very good info, it's really sad my Ortho surgeon didn't recommended anything 😮

I just found your videos! I have been doing PT for 8+ weeks for hip pain to no avail. I am (or have been ) a very active 66 yo and started with hip pain this past summer. I was teaching water aerobics 2x week and thought I just needed to stretch more. So, I’m starting with your exercises which seem very helpful. How often should these be done? Daily? Every other day? Thank you so much! I look forward to being able to walk and go up steps without pain!!!

Thankyou! Just what I’ve been looking for…prior to possible surgery.. from the UK.

Ooh my these are helping me so much❤❤❤

Excelente! Muchisimas gracias ❤

thank you doc

Hi from the UK. THANK YOU for your thorough explanations. I've been looking for something like this for a while. I love your approach, and explanations so that as lay people we can understand. I've not started yet, just watched it for the first time tonight. Reading all the positive comments below has filled me with some hope. I'm so grateful. I'm only 65 and I don't feel old. But when it flares up badly (which only started v recently) I end up waddling or just not being able to walk at all. It's exhausting. I'm so grateful 🙏 thank you. 😀

Thank you. Bridge exercises are also help to strengthen the glutes. Using a high foot rest while sitting on a chair is relaxing the hip flexors.

Thank you! I am a physician who has just found out I am pre-replacement; your exercises are so practical and accurate! I plan to avoid intervention. My question is if I was doing 70-80 deep squats before my left hip pain started, should I do the glute strengthening any more than I have? I am giving up CrossFit, just have too much pain.

I am happy to discover you. It is reducing pains and getting better comfort

Awesome content. Thank you. ❤

Thank you so much! Can’t tell you HOW fast this is working for me. I feel so much better in just a few days. You are a godsend. I will keep it up. I’m obsessed with the fidgeting exercise and the bent knee fall outs. Thanks again.

these are great and I am committed to doing them every day.

Thanks so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge. According to xrays I have bilateral FAI with cam morph some osteophytes on the neck of femur with lack of spherical shape on left and alpha angle of 63 degrees with some mild narrowing of joint space on left side with os acetabulae , during knee raise exercises I can feel a deep pop in the joint on that left side. I normally do a lot of bodyweight training and hiit workouts with dumbells. I stopped Basketball and Soccer for other reasons. Last 4 weeks burning pain in hip on one side, muscles are significantly weaker on that side (noticeable) vmo, bicep femoris and calf. I had ultrasound 6x1mm labral tear , 2 years ago 7x2mm labral tear but then I was getting anterior pain into groin it was never followed up. I now have ache in glute and discomfort constantly. My TFL, quads and hip flexors on that side overcompensated and are dominant with weak glutes I used to get lateral knee problems and plantar facitis until 2 years ago when this was picked up and got orthotics fitted plus muscle retraining. ( My acetabulum on left is anteverted so I assume the ortotics may have made things worse). I went to a pelvic physio in septemeber as I wanted to see if I could improve . They gave a lot of exercises and a PR exam 😂 apparently my obturator internus is also inflammed. Before 3 weeks ago I never had the constant pain /in the hip. With the exercises I started getting medial knee pain on deep flexion and full extension. I had old posterior horn fraying, pes anserine bursitis and a partial tear of meniscofemoral ligament. The knee is improving . Hip I feel all the time. I stopped training as I had vein surgery on my right leg last week. The only activity I increased over the last 3 months was spin classes on the stationary bike. Interestingly I had my squats and lunges assessed, pain doesnt occur when I do these movements ( I squat to 90 max) I took a second opinion from another physio, non of the tests cause acute pain in the hip the right is defo more fleixble. If I put my hands on both sides when I walk I feel them both popping (they have for years) The relative rest seems to amplify the pain, I have started some of your vids and am trying to keep the glutes switched on for walking and sitting. I just received MRI - Tear of anterior labrum, focal grade 4 anterior superior weight bearing cartilage full thickness fissuring with sub chondral cyst 13mm, High grade chondral thinning of superolateral weight bearing aspect of fem head, all the muscles and tendons normal no synovitis no effusion. I am RN so corridor consult with Orthopod rest don't do anything for 2 to 3 weeks NSaids and Paracetamol . I was so shocked to see this as up until December always active, never any pain with squatting or lunging. Assuming bad genetic biomechanics and kineseology weak gluteal chain overdominant quads, orthotics for flat foot on left side (body trying to keep the ball centred I guess) niw made arch neutral but raised medially causing more supination. SLIGHTLY pointed outward toes for squatting contributing to friction. Sadly, the PT I been to here don't seem to really care or explain this is just my understanding of issues. I am in mid 30s and as I said have been always super active (cardio normally elipical and spin bike) Any advice appreciated, god bless and warm wishes from Straya 😊

Thanks!

Appreciate it 🌎💫ℹ️🇺🇸

I've done first two exercises while l was watching your video and does work thank you so much sir.😊

OMG. You make so much sense. I have hope for the first time in over a year. (Ann)

Great video Doctor… my hip makes a loud pop sound when I go from sitting to standing… then I have to pause before I take my first step … your thoughts on this? Thank you

Is this good also for torn hip labrum? Thank you so much for all your videos I have bad herniations and back bulging discs a hip replacement and a hip arthritis and torn hip labrum some constantly watching your videos they are very informative blessings to you

Oh thank you 🙏🏾

Thank you for your feedback. in 36 from El Paso!!!! now San Diego but ive been diagnosed with hip arthritis. used to be very active and played a lot of slow pitch softball and now i can barely walk without someone asking if im ok..... just got a cortisone injection last week and it helped a lot so far. as far as that last exercise what if i feel a tremendous ammount of pinching and cant get down far enough.

Thank you! This has helped! My hip goes off when I sleep on my side without a pillow between my knees.

thank you so much Doc.....i have hip joint pain for surgery.....but no money yet for..thank you much i been doing this exercise for a week.....and continue watching your vdeos

Nice exercise

I got left hip pain after I started using the elliptical at my fitness center. Thanks again for helping. Maybe if I do the butt muscle exercises Ill have a better looking butt😅

Thank you for your clear, kind & thorough videos. I am what I call a "3rd generation jointer". Grandmother hip replacement..Dad hips & Mom knees. My Dad & I also 'share' hammer toes. I focused on ending the legacy! Did moderate exercise, swimming & 5 mile a day walks from 25 to 60's. Hiked Camino thru Spain at 65. Then fell on ice and fractured tibial bone. Wouldn't accept pin and did natural recover with therapy. BUT my oposite hip took the toll. Now told "arthritis...bone on bone ...replacements necessary". I've been trying to delay because my research suggests we're jus a few years from various stem cell regenerative therapies, even in the U.S. But finally I have given in to the pain (do not do pain meds or shots), Family pressure and Orthopedic evaluation. I am in the double hip replacement que. YET, obviously, still exploring staying WHOLE & HEALING this too. I'm writing to share that only a few days of this exercise series have me with half the pain & incrementally improved range of motion. 😮 I intend to see if I can get outa line for these replacements and regain my strength and active Life. Wish you were in Oregon ... then I'd be sure I could.

Thank you, thank you ,thank you. You are such a blessing to share your expertise with us for free. I’m so glad I found your channel. So good. I’ve just been diagnosed with hip arthritis. I’ve always been fit so it is a shock to me even though I’m 65 and my family have a history. These exercises help so much. I’ve watched a lot of your videos now. I think I’ll be exercising all day to fit them in lol.

These hip videos have been so helpful!! I appreciate the detailed explanation as to why certain exercises and stretches work and especially why some absolutely make things worse! I recently totally overstretched doing the lunge, 90/90, and figure 4. Now I know why I still have pain! Thanks for sharing these videos!

Thank you so much. I am 66 and one of my hips has become very painful while walking. I will definitely try this .😊

I was told I need hip surgery but because of insurance considerations I had to do limited physical therapy sessions first...Which I did...They never gave me these exercises but others that did not do a bit of good! Yours have helped immediately. It made me wonder. as the PT Department is part of the hospital where my hip surgery is to be performed. if this was intentional as, if my hip improved, the surgery would not be necessary. Is there a financial consideration here on the part of the hospital?

Hi from the UK. Really find your channel valuable. Thank you -very thorough and validates everything my own chiro/ therapy team have been working with me on. I was referred for OA bone on bone hip operation and had developed severe pain after walking and when going to bed. After seeking a second opinion and some basic traction and the start of a muscle strengthening and rebalancing programme, I am now 95% pain free (now just some changing sensations rather than pain as I work through the exercises). The results were literally after a couple of of weeks and have been sustained so I cant recommend this approach enough to everyone thinking they are facing an operation. Key for me is embedding the regime and lifestyle changes. One thing I would really value your opinion on if I may please: I cant avoid some periods sitting on a chair at my computer for work. When I have to do this would you recommend using a balance/ exercise ball instead of a chair - would that make any difference (certainly don't want to make things worse). Thanks for your advice. Rob

Thankyou

THank you.

thanl you so much i been doing that exercises for 2 months now i can walk a bit with out cane.....i want also what is best exercise coz i walk limping i seem that one leg get short

Thank you 🙏

this works, the 4 work!...i had my right hip replaced, so i want to avoid a replacement for my left leg that i was told also needs replacement

Will these help for arthritis from a shallow hip socket?

I've killed the inflammation with the ketogenic diet. No more pain medication. Brought back my stability. Just working on the mobility. Still can't put my shoe/sock on. There's a bone spur or growth that's preventing me from getting that mobility. Trying castor oil to break up the bone spur

I'm 63 and was facing surgery a few years ago for my hip labrum. I rested it and it slowly started feeling better. I had to walk with shorter strides and eventually after a year or so I can cross my leg again which I thought I'd never be able to do. I'm going to watch some of your videos anyway so I can continue improving.

I have enjoy your vids very much . However, I would be grateful if you could advise if these exercise to strenghtened the Glutes is applicable for one who just had a Spinal Fusion Surgery L3 -L4 ,L4-L5 . 5 months ago ? Would these exercise affects the spinal fusion recovery ? Thank you.

What is a torn hip labrum and overlapping ? Thanks

Can you do these if you've had a hip replacement on one side?

Are there certificate course for hip knee and back for therapist

New subscriber here. Great stuff! I have a question. Last summer, I was diagnosed with right hip osteoarthritis. Bone on bone. The need for a total hip replacement was not immediate, but certainly within the next year. At times I hear and feel "popping and clicking", at other times, I'm not bad. I hurt quickly on most walks of any length and literally can barely spread my legs past my shoulders. I was planning on a potential 2024 summer surgery. On December 15, 2023, I had a major heart attack. My EF got down to 18%, but with cardiac rehab, I am already up to 30%-35% and climbing. The only piece of equipment that is comfortable at rehab, given my hip, is a seated elliptical by Ortho. I'd buy one if they weren't so expensive. I am on 7 different medications now and will be on two of them for at least a year and the others most likely for life. Unless your exercises can really help me to avoid it, my hip replacement surgery will now most likely be in the spring or summer of 2025. My question is, outside of cortisone injections (which really didn't help much), in addition to these and any other exercises, are there any treatments (Chiropractic, Acupuncture, heat, ice, etc.) or pain relievers (that won't hurt the stomach, kidneys or liver), that could help me in any way to reduce the pain when it really flares up? It's not constant, but given that I am 15-18 months away from a surgical solution, should it be an absolute necessity, I'm trying to seek ways to make it feel better, in any way possible, until that time. Thanks for any help or guidance and God Bless.

Bent knee fall outs,are great for working,the pelvic floor as well.

I was recently diagnosed with hip OA in both hips. Until the diagnosis, I used to run 20-30 miles per week. I was told not to run anymore. Could I still ride a bike or use an elliptical machine?

Seeing an orthopedist next week who has recommended hip replacement. I am going to start doing these exercises to see if I find relief . Thank you.

Omg I been doing that fidgeting my whole life, is there any chance I might have over did it causing my pain? Please answer me

Thank you sir for the nice vedio. Wathcing here at Baguio City.Hipefully you ll have a visit here in our place.Summer capital of the philippines. Thanks sir !!

My Cartlidge is gone in my hip bone. Is there any exercise that I can do? I do not want to get surgery.

Would these exercises help with avascular necrosis?

When I do that movement , jiggling my legs sitting down (fidgeting) 🎉, my groin hurts. I also have a bad knee (OA bone on bone) , which I’m doing your knee /glutes exercises), same side, could my hip be causing the groin pain or the knee?

Hy can I do these exercises with hip joint arthritis sage D

Does, more tightened glute muscles than thigh muscles, cause imbalance? What if both glute & thigh muscles are tightened up?

How many times per day should the glute squeezes be done ?

One way for an older woman to get better is low dose estrogen. I had only been off HRT for four years, and all my joints were in very bad shape. Injured shoulder would not heal, arm atrophied, in pain sitting, in pain sleeping. After a few months of low dose estrogen, began to improve, injuries healed, muscle atrophy was corrected, able to walk 1.5 miles in 33 minutes, able to climb repeated flights of stairs. Also - only sat on a thick memory foam pillow and figured how to keep leg from rolling out while sleeping.

I discovered the channel today!

I think my hip problem is probably from weak glute muscles. I was thinking of buying a bike to exercise my hip, do you think bike riding could make my hip issue worse ? as I would be exercising my thigh muscles and not the glute muscles. Or would bike riding exercise glute muscles too ?

What causes bone spurs in hip joint area?

The first exercise issimilar to the leg jiggling practised succesfully by some patients in Japan. They increase the width of the cartilage and reduced pain.

When i do the bent knee fall out the grinding/cracking noises are disturbing 😢

My problem is the pain in my groin and its spreading towards the side of my him. I can't stand , can't move my leg to any side or up and down. If I do my stretching as I move my left leg my right one hurts really bad. I will try to do these exercises. And will see

I'm unable to stretch the right leg for the second exercise, what can I do to start that.
