You guys have literally cured my hip bursa! I cannot thank you enough. Now I watch to see what else I can do to prevent my 61 yo body from failing in other places, lol.

I have watched all of your videos regarding hip pain and after doing the resistance exercises for about two weeks, I can happily report that my pain from hip to my knee for the past 8 months is gone! This stuff WORKS! Thank you, Bob and Brad!

You guys rock! I am a 74 yo very active female. R hip has been bothering me for about six weeks, finally went to Dr, awaiting referral OK for PT appointment. Hadn't slept well for several nights, watched your video yesterday, dd the exercises and used the pillow for side lying L. Slept throughout the night and feel 90% better! I think that the use of the pillow keeps me from rolling back over on the injured side and waking up in pain. Most greatful.

Love you guys! No inflated egos, just real people explaining things & helping people!!! Thanks so much.

I thank God for you two. I’ve used your videos on more than one thing and it really works. Please don’t stop making these videos. You’re such a blessing to many! 🙏🏾

You guys are awesome. One of my clinical instructors played your videos for the class, which is how I found you--and now I'm addicted!

Thank you for being so kind and providing this video for all of us, many many hugs!!!!

Oh a thousand thanks to you both! I was about to lose my mind with constant hip pain until I did the crossing legs stretch sitting in a chair. It worked immediately after the first stretch it stopped the constant nagging pain & throbbing along with the burning sensation I have been plagued with for over a year.

I don't know if this will help others but try it...At the moment my rehab chiropractor is working on my muscles. In the beginning it is very painful. It has been two months and he asks me to walk forwards and backwards. As we age our front muscles seems to get over worked and gets tight as well shorten. Walking backwards also is very important, those muscles get fatigued, over stretched with poor posture, slouching. So walking, doing supermans laying on your stomach , tightening your gluteus also strengthens the muscles along our spine. Only a suggestion and try not to sit a lot. I feel so much better and grateful that I found this doctor.

one of the best videos ever guys. Especially all your demonstrations, even those various ones at the end-

Fantastic, guys! So very glad I found your videos. Thanks so much for exactly what I need.

I really enjoy watching you two. You’re so down to earth. I have arthritis. I have had both hips replaced and a recent knee arthroscopy. I have been trying to keep up-with your suggested exercises. Thank you.

Thank you guys for helping me figure this mystery out! I have multiple spinal herniations including one at L4-L5 from a car accident. I’ve suffered lower back pain and stiffness for months but recently the pain is on my outer buttock area. I got shots for the pain and clicking and was told it’s my si joints. After watching another video you did on hip bursitis I realized that the messenger bag that I carry everyday strapped over one shoulder is constantly putting weight on my hip and also the constant contact with my hip when I walk is agitating the area. I started taking my meloxicam again and stopped using the messenger handbag and it helped!! Whewh!! That’s much better than facing a hip replacement in my thirties.

Loved, loved, loved, this video! Thank you so much 🙏🏽

Thank you both so much! You both are extremely knowledgeable and kind. Keep making videos bc you both are a blessing 🙌 ✨️

Thanks, Guys. Great presentation.

I think you guys are wonderful! Very informative! Thank you for your vids 👍

EXCELLENT description about bursitis. You have helped immensely.

Love your exercises. One thing that has really helped my bursitis is avoiding gluten. I accidentally stumbled upon the the connection between my bursitis and carbs (gluten) when I went onto a low carb diet. Within a week I started to feel a difference. Couldn’t believe it! It’s been a few years now since I’ve been careful with gluten intake and I can enjoy long walks without having to take painkillers or use an ice pack when I get home. Deb Edmonton, AB Canada

Thanks for all your clips of information that helps us be able to better our health at home. I get so much from all your clips.

Thank you Bob & Brad. Very helpful videos. I love the stretching you show us.

Thanks to you both! I really appreciate your teaching.

Gentlemen, you are amazing. I appreciate you demonstrating the stretching and strengthening techniques in different ways. My mom has bursitis in her hip and I really look forward to seeing her improvement once she starts this regime. Thanks!

I love ❤️ I am 87 and I’m always glad that you’re able to do great 👍 things for us elders

Hi Bob and Brad, ¡what a great video for hip arthritis and bursitis patients!, I make almost all of the hip stretches sporadically ,I´d like to be more persistent, I was a side sleeper and suffered of trokantaeric bursitis also, and it improved by changing my sleep position, the switch wasn't easy but I achieved it, now I sleep on my back and the problem has disappeared, I learn a lot with your videos, guys. I love the introductory quotes, are so wise words. Thanks and loves to both of you 😘😘

This is an old video, but it has helped me tremendously! Thank you so much.

Great info especially since I'm dealing with an arthritic hip. Bummer, however, as you didn't give the three tips to stop pain now!!!!

I can't share your videos enough! I love you guys great advise.. my husband has back issues and I sentries video.. I am a fan of stretching, therapy and chiropractors. I have had two shoulder surgeries and therapy has always helped tremendously. Thank you for educating us.

I have had a knee replacement and now they want to replace my hip and I don't want it. On the same leg. between my hip and knee replacement my thigh burns and hurts awful. I just started your advice to stretch my hip socket, no relief yet, but I am still trying and watching ALL your advice, videos. It is nice to see how you both get along so well too.

You are very nice and fun to watch! Your videos are really helpful. Thank you very much. A huge Spanish fan here :)

I just love your videos! SO helpful, and you're fun, too! :)

Thank you guys! Happy holidays.!!! 🎄🎁🎄.

I absolutely murdered my left hip bursa by riding my bike too far and too strenuously after having been idle during the COVID quarantine months. The aging body is far less forgiving, that's for sure. Felt great before, during, and even shortly after those rides, but wound up almost crippled the following day. Really need to learn these stretching exercises to do prior to riding, and following as well.

Pool work has made all the difference for me. I do all the exercises in the water and many of them I could not do on land. Many thanks for all your help, Bob and Brad

I know this video is a few years old, but I just had to comment. I was diagnosed with bursitis in my left hip in 2007, and it was the beginning of a nightmare. I hurt so bad, and nothing worked. I had so many cortisone shots that I lost track. After a year and a half, my Dr recommended a Bursectomy as a last resort. I'm sure it will come as no surprise to you that it didn't work. I was informed a few years down the road by an orthopedic Dr that no one does that surgery because it just simply doesn't work. By then, I was unable to continue working and retired early in 2013. I wish I had found you way back then!!!! I'm happy to see by the comments that you are helping so many people. God bless you!

i so need these exercises. Thank you for this

This is a nice elaboration on your 2013 video on treating hip bursitis. I still like the earlier video for its simplicity. KISS

I was just diagnosed w/ bursitis. Thank you! You guys r the best.

Thank u for these amazing videos. I have hip bursitis on my right ,as I fell in washroom. The pain has been for 3 months. I thought it would vanish, but did not.Now I am doing ur exercises.I am born with Arthrogryposis and I was able to walk properly.I fell and it hurts while walking. Do you have any other recommendations"?

Just found your channel, and I would watch it for entertainment value even if you didn’t have so much valuable information. I’m from Michigan, and I love your midwestern accents! Thanks for the helpful videos!

I am watching because I've had a recent bout of burning pain in my hip. However, watching makes me think of my family. Your comment on the cane is so right on about people who refuse to use one. Would rather be in pain and walk awkwardly than use one. My mother is one of those. I found her a free sitting elliptical as well. It's sitting in her garage under mounds of junk. She has the tools, so it's up to her whether or not she uses them... I am going to do what I can to keep moving. Had a doctor tell me while in the midst of chemo to not stop moving. Even if at a snails pace.

I am 56 and each year it’s something that why it’s so nice to have your videos old and new

Pilates!! Legs in straps and Eve's Lunge series have been my savior!! Stretching and rotations to keep it moving. Aaaaah!!

Thanks to this video, I now know I have bursitis, although a MRI showed that I had arthritis. All my pain on the side of my hip, not the lower or inner part. Throughout my life, I typically crossed my left leg over my right leg as you displayed here, and had good flexibility, but got bursitis in my left hip. Also, when I played baseball, I always slid on my left side, landing partly on that hip. I think that might’ve been part of the cause, although I didn’t feel any pain until I was in my 50’s. My right hip is much less flexible, and doesn’t have any bursitis or any pain whatsoever. Therefore, I thought crossing my left leg possibly helped cause the bursitis. The best way I found to control and eliminate the pain, is to simply exercise and keep the hip muscle strong. I already do some of your exercises here, but am going to do some of the other ones, but will be careful on the “leg crossing” one. I don’t want to get bursitis in my right hip, too.

You guys are fantastic! Thank you🧚‍♂️in 5 minutes 🙏 the pain in my hip was gone after doing the "pendulo" exercise.😘

I am 38 years old with CREST syndrome, RA, and possibly lupus. Pain has been a part of life, but the last few years it’s debilitating. One area I am struggling with the most currently is my hips. Both sides, and around to the spine. I can’t sleep. I can no longer work, go hiking, I can’t even get up a flight of stairs most days. I am going to start doing these every day. I pray I get even a little relief.

It’s so nice to have all your videos I am always coming back to them when I have a problem and use the advice therapy, thank you guys

Love you guys, these are wonderful exercises and excellent information. Bless you both!

My PT showed me a different way to do the figure 4 stretch. Instead of pulling your legs up, put the leg that is not crossed on a ball and roll it towards you.

Priceless you two! Love you guys. I am a doctor and recommend all your videos to my patients. You explain detailed and the exercises and tips are easy to follow but so healing. Thank you two!

Thank you for doing this video! I don’t have insurance and my hip is in so much pain. Started immediately to do exercises and slept with pillow between my legs and already feel so much better! THANK YOU 🙏

I fell off some stairs which left me with a back injury that left one of my hips higher than the other. This happened in my late 20's. Now I am 54 and the ball of my hip hurts. My knee on the same side hurts too, which I think is related to my hip being misplaced.When I walk I can't help but waddle because of how that back injury moved my hips out of place.

I learnt a lot from you (greatest P.T.) . You are blessed angels from the above. Thanks

Thanks again guys. Over the years your content has been a great resource!

Thanks Guys. I rested comfortably for the first time in ages.

Thank you guys. Been wanting something for my hips... You guys rock. Keep sharing those amazing tips ans exercises ❤❤❤❤

You guys are great,thank you for explain to everybody.

Love you guys. Great video

Suffering because of car accident trauma been doing exercises and Bob and Brad are the best been watching for years and now this is my condition I am treating without injections. I know they work as I go to the gym daily and I do these exercises in classes and can walk, need to keep it up and use light weights , but I do have other injuries, Just found the Rumba walk helps, dance Studio 375 this keeps me in balance and heel raises helps. Thank you so much for videos.

I had been doing the first stretch or figure4 for my back for a long time and love it, but have not been able to do it since my hip started hurting so what gives. It hurts to put my leg out to the side

You guys are awesome! I definitely need to slow into these hip exercises!! Have minimal ROM 😭

Any thoughts on hip bursitis after a hip replacement? From what i've read, the IT band is like stretching a tire, as in, it can't be stretched. I developed hip bursitis 8 months after hemiarthroplasty.

@7:10 DON’T SLEEP ON IT! Thank you for the tips, I’m going pillow shopping lol:))

You two are so endearing, and the info is priceless! So sweet, fun, and charming!

You guys are always great and right on point. Cycling is my passion, but it’s making me miserable. Now I have hope! 🚴‍♀️❤

You guys are just fabulous.

Is there any way to heal the pain on inner part of the hips in between the legs.

A leg wedge, used for an extended time, caused a blood clot in my calf -- just where the support ends.

I've been a subscriber from way back in the day when you did Facebook live, I love going back to watch these oldie videos ❤

very helpful video. You said biking and running and aggravate or cause this kind of injury. Ccan you comment about hat kind of aerobic exercises are OK when recovering from trochanter injuries?

You guys are great.....and helpful.

I developed bilateral trocanteric bursitis while pregnant with twins. I was on bed rest for a while and the continual lying on either side really irritated the bursas. It was extremely painful to rise to a standing position. You guys are reinforcing what my PT recommended and giving me some additional options as well. Really appreciate all of the good information in your videos. Thanks!

I'm watching you guys on utube, and yous explain the stretches for bursitis really well, I have it in both hips but the right one hurts more than the left so I've been trying to get ahold on sleeping with the pillow between the legs like yous recommend and I'm following the stretches to the letter, I'll get back and let yous know how I'm doing but thanks for sharing your time with us people that do need this kinda help thanks Gary p

Thank you, this is fun and helpful... You are the best....

Love both of you! Thanks!

Ok, i followed you guys from day one. I need to see a video about joint hyper mobility. I have The opposite problem and it causes me pain. Please help. I also would long hours as nurse.

I really appreciate your videos! So informative! What is the name of this pedal equipment you all used for arthritis? What brand? I’d like to get one. 👍🏼

Great stretch exercises! Thank u Bob & Brad! 🥰

Thanks Bob&Brad, always so so helpful.❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much!!!!!

I have been doing the firgure four stretch every night. I also do the piriformis stretches that you mentioned at the end of your video nightly. Both types of stretches have really helped me.

I gave myself hip bursitis by trying the Smolov squat program, was going wrll until I took a week off then jumped back I straight where I left off instead of working back up to the weights I was on gradually 🤦🏻‍♂️, it's super painful to do front and backsquats now, thanks for this video guys, it's helping me a lot!

You both are a true blessing 🙏 to others. Thanks 😊 for all that you do.

How about swimming? Which strokes would you recommend - freestyle, breast stroke, side stroke or back stroke? Each of these strokes has a different motion for the legs/hips.

Thank you! This is very informative!

I depressed my knee over my hip maybe 1 min 2 tops. I felt the hip finding more rotation excellent tip. Show suggestion can you get someone in qualified to speak on Microcurrent pain relief. I ask because my quality of life rocketed up for the better in to many ways to list. Truly transformative therapy 👍👍 Man my hip feels better, thank you Bob & Brad 🙂

You guys are the best! So educational and also funny! Just followed you on FB as well. I was wondering what you think of the Teeter freestep? I have ileac Crest pain(frontal), Sciatica, as well as arthritis of side hip bones. After watching this now I’m wondering if you can have arthritis and bursitis of the hip joint simultaneously. Anyway this video has left me in a quandary. I was thinking the movement of the Teeter freestep machine (which is similar to the stepper machine you demonstrated in this video) would be good as you stated arthritis improves with exercise, but then you stated bursitis does not like hip movement. Anyway I had a trip off a sidewalk years ago that left my SI joint a mess. One leg always shrinks up a bit and I have to do PT exercises to reset it and make it even to other leg length. Of course this affects everything down to bottom of the foot pain. Would love to get some exercise for calorie burn and strengthening but don’t know where to begin. I’m so excited to have found your channel! Will be following and learning all your PT exercises that fit my needs. I know you can’t diagnose me but can you please just give me your general advice on my questions. I know I have to run it all by my doc first. So please just let me know how you feel about the Teeter machine and my issue about Arthritis and Bursitis, ileac crest pain, etc. Thank you guys! Your the best!

Love these guys

All of these are good for me thank you! I broke my pelvic bone 3 years ago. Will I eventually need a hip replacement in the future?? The exercises help so much thank you! I’ve learned most of these in therapy and have continued doing them. I had an acetabular fracture! It’s all healed just exercising to keep to improve arteritis pain.

80 yrs running/ step racing great shape but Greater Trocanter bursitis. No side sleeping which I I am habituated. Oh dang use that between leg pillow trick but will purchase your pillow. Thanks guys

Hi Bob and Brad. If I have discomfort over the hip bursa area and immediately over the outer hip laterally, could this be the hip joint please? I was led to believe that hip problem would give pain in the groin area? Many thanks for your videos and humour!

Thanks guys great information 👍

Love both of you such good advice

Can you have both arthritis and bursitis in the same hip? My pain suddenly increased with sone very cold weather and is diminishing a bit with warmer weather- the pain is at the outside point not in the groin- I am also a bit confused about which excersizes are good for hips, and which for bursitis-guess I will have to watch again to see! I do have arthritis in the same side knee...

6 months ago, I had a reaction (rare but happens to some women over 60 LOL - of course) to Trulicity. It caused muscle issues from the waist down, both sides. It was horrible. By about June it subsided, however, my right hip was having major residual issues from it. I paid really close to what the pain was like, where it was coming from, and it felt like muscle and something a bit deeper. It got worse, I went to PT, it still got worse. My PC ordered x-rays to illuminate any fracture, which it did. So, your video helped me be sure it was sciatic because of the issues down the leg to the toes. I borrowed a friend SI belt and put it on yesterday. Woke up today to a much better frame. My PC has me going back to PT for an eval so she can get a prior authorization for my own SI belt and with the stretches specific to Sciatica and Piriformis issues I can actually regain my function, less or no pain, and feel human again. This all started with the horrible and awful RARE side effects for older women on what I thought I would be my life saver from insulin LOL. The only bad thing in life is type II diabetes so back to a keto lifestyle to deal with that and being able to move without hunching over, wabbling, and not even being able to stand to wash dishes. Seriously - I love your videos and learned about the sciatic nerve and piriformis 3 wks after this 1st happened. Thanks you!

Thanks guys helps a lot.

Great , remedies! Thanks👍🏾

Hey guys thanks for this informative info. Im a happy healthy 64 yr old woman and I’ve been diagnosed with worn out labrum on my left hip.I’m seeing a top notch doc I like a lot, he only does hips in his practice-he’s helped a-lot of folks in. My retirement community that are a-lot older than I am the doc strongly suggests a cortisone shot, Please tell me ur thoughts on this matter.

I have bursitis on my left thigh and a 19 year old hip replacement on that side. Should I be doing all the recommended stretches or not.

Any advice for helping me stand up i have 3 herniated disc the L3 l4and l5 with sever sciatica can't find any way to relax I'm in so much pain
