Best description and succinct video I’ve seen yet! So many videos lump all of this together and confuse you with mixed information and recommendations but this one is clear and informative. Thank you!
Well finally an educated overview of potential causes and studies around hip pain ie “Bursitis” Fortunately for me I am already following a similar senior hip strengthening program similar to your low intensity set of exercises Thank you for this presentation 👍
i’ve noticed that when the pain gets really bad walking with a wider stance alleviates a lot of pain, and makes me concentrate on strengthening supportive muscles
An Amazing presentation! You are maximizing your doctoral education and knowledge of research by sharing it with us. Of course other therapists apply their knowledge when they prescribe exercise programs for us, but some of us want to know more, and accomplish more when we take a more academic approach to our healing. It is reassuring to understand better WHY I am doing certain exercises. I am particularly appreciative of the information suggesting that inflammation is not always the cause of our discomfort. I suspected as much. We seem to blame everything on inflammation when we might need to get on with the anatomical/ physical kinetics instead of being afraid to move. Many thanks Doctor! Over the past 3 days, I have suffered excruciating left hip pain intermittently -- primarily when I wake, and after I have been sitting too long at the computer (like now), but I pushed the envelope this morning and did bridge exercises, half squats, tip toe and heel raises, and marches (on my back). I was able to get through the day on one 325 mg aspirin. I do not believe that I would have had as much comfort had I assumed that I need to heal from inflammation, and had I been afraid to exercise . Many thanks!
The evidence base you use and clinical implications you draw are impeccable and will definitely help me study through my last musc. clinical placement! Great work!
Loads of information in your video. Very helpful because I’m working with this at the moment. Now I’ll be a bit more regimented with what I do to treat it. Thanks again.
Fantastic video. Better advice than what my PT gave me. I'm currently doing full body weights squats 2x a week with other calisthenics. Although I'm not experiencing pain or discomfort while doing this exercise, I am occasionally experiencing a sharp twinge in my left hip just by standing a certain way. Walking is fine. I'll give these exercises a try...thx
I think this is the best video. I feel it’s my right gluteus medius , hurt by overdoing HIIT, burpees. PT says Piriformis. I say glut medius, now kind of bursitis lingering. Basically I self diagnosed with help of web. Yes, proper strengthening all supporting muscles has helped, and proper gait, not hip hanging, etc. it’s a lot of thinking and new body mechanics. I’m 10 mos out now feeling 80% better. Doctor answered a question I had that we should challenge and introduce more as tolerated. Q: Can it entirely go away? I self diagnosed glute medius, initial ibuprofen and rested for 2 mos- but my entire pelvis got de conditioned! Add back pain. Ortho sent me to PT, marginal help but permitted strength training. Personal trainer helped get me back on path of strength. Band work, proper glute and ab squeeze, (tuck pelvis in a bit) with everything I do; squats, walking. I have to do everything with the proper form- but it’s helped. I feel I’ll have to keep this up so not to get de-conditioned ever again. I wouldn’t have rested so long had I known. I advise keep moving with some strengthening as tolerated.
I love how you referenced studies and showed the actual muscles! I’ve had 2 MRIs show bursitis AND tendinopathy (plus a labral tear). I’m managing the tear ok but my lateral pain has been so hard to treat. I’m thinking I’ve been too focused on addressing the bursitis and not the tendinopathy. Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you so much. Proof of research and results are valuable in any condition, as far as I am concerned. I am sooo exited to start a new therapy. My professional medical and physical therapies have not relieved my pain. 😮🎉😊
I totally agree with you . These exercises are great. I do dome different yhings like bike ride, walk, yoga, pilates, light weights bench. I also have bands and agree side steps. Wonderful video.
Dr. Mark, I responded earlier to this amazing video. I was just wondering whether you might do a similar anatomical presentation to show us how the upper torso supports our back and hips. I am almost 78, and I believe that I have discovered that my exercises for back and hip pain appear to be more effective when I do shoulder rolls, shoulder pinches, and neck stretches. I also believe that foot rotations seem to help my back pain. Perhaps, we see videos focussed on what is troubling us at the moment because of time constraints, but I try to move everything movable, even when I can put my hand on the area of pain. I try to remember to use an integrated approach. One thing we know is the our bodies are mysterious and that pain can radiate from distal sites. In reflexology, we also get a sense of possible connectivity within our bodies (if that is a valid body of study). Again, just wondering if you might at least comment on the relationship of the upper torso to lower back and hip dysfunction. Many thanks!
Thank you for this presentation and demonstration of exercises, I have been doing a different set of isometric exercises, but just recent;y mobility pain and distress he’s reappeared. I shall begin with some of your easier exercises
Wow! So it's not inflammation. Thank you for so convincingly debunking that myth. Does exercise really rebuild the tendon tissues? How long should you train at the different stages before proceeding to the next level? How can you calm down overactive pain receptors that fire at the slightest stimulus?
Exercise might not change how they look on an image, but that isn't necessary for a successful outcome. Exercise is just a way to build up their capacity to handle load. The time at each stage partially depends on your tolerance. If you're able to use more resistance, hold longer, etc. with the same symptoms or less, then it might be worthwhile to increase the difficulty. On the flip side, if you're consistently doing too much and flaring up, it might be worthwhile to decrease the difficulty. Since pain is multifactorial, it's hard to say what might help calm your symptoms down. It can be helpful to modify aggravating activities as needed as mentioned in the video, but you can also do things that make you generally feel better (whatever that might be). The goal with the exercises will also be so that you can do more over time without being as symptomatic. Expectations and understanding the condition can be helpful for many individuals as well by knowing that some pain is likely to be expected and not necessarily damaging or bad throughout the rehab process.
thank you for your video! love how you went through research findings and then going into each movements at different levels. You were very detailed and the young lady doing each movement helped me to do them right. Thank you for breaking the time down on the comments also so I can go directly into the movements when I'm doing the exercises.
This is a great video!!!! I had weight loss surgery and lost over 100 pounds. Since then, I’ve had a lot of hip and back pain. I thought the opposite would be true. But, if it’s really because of weakness in the muscles in area, it makes sense. I’ve lost muscle mass and strength. So maybe that’s why I’m struggling? I’m going to start these exercises to see if they help!
Great and informative video, well done! One thing I would suggest is when you cite sources, such as Grimaldi, it a standard practice to at least say “Grimaldi and colleagues”, not just the first author. Just to acknowledge that there were other people doing a hard work as well on these studies.
"et al" and "and colleagues" is said for every single reference except for one 3 second portion of the video because it didn't flow as well. And the abstract is shown on screen with all authors present which acknowledges them.
Out of all the videos I watched this was the most helpful. I was just diagnosed with this condition. My doctor wants to do a hip X ray and go to physical therapy. Guess what all of that cost money I don't have so I am going to follow these steps to help myself. Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much for your explanation . For 4 months I have been searching for a proper diagnoses , listening to you makes me feels I fit into this slot . Will definitely try your exercises. Do I need to do an MRI ? Please advise
I started off with groin/adductor pain and that has subsided and now feels like glute medius side of hip pain. Have you heard of that happening before? Hoping this info will help! Thanks for putting this video together :)
Thanks so much for the information, I have hip dysplasia in both hips but always had pin in my right hip since I was 13 or 14. Im going to try these exercises
I also have hip dysplasia in both hips with a pin in my right hip. How are you managing pain? Do you experience pain in one hip more so than the other?
@@dinam211 Yes I still experience more pain in my right hip. I do a lot of stretching and icing my hip when the pain is a lot. I've gone to a physical therapist and he helps out and he pulled my leg while I was laying down and that REALLY did help a lot. I've also gotten a cortisone injection in my hip twice and that helped a lot I haven't done it in a while since I read that it can cause the hip cartridge to deteriorate faster.
Great vide, I'm doing these exercises through my physio and they do help if done regularly it's a very slow process, if I have a can't be bothered day then I do notice that I'm stiff sore, I have it in both sides and find sleep pain hardest to deal with but thanks again
You might try castor oil (organic hexane free). Just rub over hip area where you have pain. I do this just before bed. For me it seems to be anti-inflammatory and relieves pain. I also sleep with a pillow between my legs which seems to help. All the best.
Dont sleep on them I m recently got them from doing hip abduction thé wrong way 😥 M resting and icing and i avoid sleeping on sides Hope you recovered now Pls share any tips that help u recover
@@mirjanamirjana5409 it's ok bit knees are in pain now and I think and feel thar one of my knees underneath has got torn meniscus which is painted so lots of pain in my body now
Hi Dr. Marc, My hip pain started after I wore a walking boot for 10 days for a foot injury. This was back in June the pain would wake me up at night. I find that stretching and massaging the glutes, TFL, quads and hip flexors make IT worse. Now It shoots into my lower back and adductors. :(
I know you mean well and this video helps some people... But I'm so tired of hearing PT and ice packs cure this. Tried it many times, it actually made it worse a lot too. I'm on year 6 of this pain. My condition is so bad now that I don't have 1 hour pain-free any day and I'm 29. Still trying to find a doctor/surgeon that will just remove these useless/debilitating bursas. Because my MRI doesn't show anthing I'm still told to stretch and ice. Like can there be a rule if stretching and ice don't fix it within a year, we recommend surgery? Why in 2021, are we letting people live in so much pain? Also, as a young person, no one even prescribes us pain killers.
How r u now ? R u still in pain? M newly injured m'y self doing hip abduction i put the weight on my hip Bone 😥 . M so scared that it wont heal Any tips please
@@vivianeraw8448 I ended up getting hip fai surgery. I found a hip surgeon and he looked at my x-rays and said I have hip impingement on both sides and torn labrums. I am still recovering from surgery so I cant say for certain but I think I already have less pain. I've only had the right side done and he took out my bursa too. I get the left done in a few weeks! The bad news is apparently the bursa can grow back. I think we're all unique in our pain. Mine got so bad that I knew I needed a big intervention.
I dont believe these videos are intended as complete treatment guides, just something that can give useful advice. The other thing that is worth bearing in mind is there is a difference between treatment and cure. Cure, I feel, implies something being like new. This isn't really how a body works, we always have our scars, there is always some sort of an adaptation. I also think that if you think you 'need surgery' it is going to be an uphill battle to rehabilitate. It is possible that surgery is the fix, and that is great, but I think it is also worth pointing out that your experience is a case study of 1. Many, many people who experience something that may fit with common characteristics of what is thought of as hip bursitis will not require surgery.
Excellent video, as always!! Do you guys think that we could have the same idea/approach for a diagnostics of "Shoulder Bursitis"? Find some confortable mobility drills and improve loading in the area, both isometrics or isotonic exercises?
I've had two major falls in the last five years. The first resulting in bursitis of the greater trochanter of my left hip. The second I messed up my SI joint on my left side. So now my hip is constantly inflamed and my SI joint hurts and affects my sciatic nerve. I'm only 43. I've been through physical therapy. I went to a chiropractor for a while. Currently I'm dealing with it by taking celebrex. I'm pretty much in constant pain and am no stranger to loss of sleep. I sleep with a pillow between my knees. Waking frequently from either my hip or sciatic nerve burning down. I'm just miserable constantly and at a loss on my options. My Dr said he doesn't like to prescribe the celebrex long term. I've been on it about 5 months now and it does allow me some alleviation of pain for some quality of life. I'm terrified of when he won't prescribe it anymore because I get to where I can hardly move and in severe pain. I want the problem fixed. I'm too young to hurt like this for the rest of my life. Please, is there a stretch or exercise that channels BOTH problems. I just want to be and feel normal again and do things I enjoy like dancing. 😢 Thank you....
@@jojosez8945 No, unfortunately not. Now I also have Plantar Fasciitis on that same side. So every step feels like a huge hot rod in my heel. I just don't know what to do or what the answer is. It can't be a good thing for our body to always be inflamed on one side. (Immune response wise) Idk, I'm thinking I may try Yoga next. I'm just getting over Covid. I had to go get my first treatment of Monoclonal Antibody Infusion. So I will let you know if yoga works. I'm so sorry. I know what kind of pain you are in and how it affects your life. If you figure something out let me know too. Maybe we can help one another. 🙂
@@jojosez8945 Thank you, I will definitely check into that. I hope you get some good news back. The one thing that has always bothered me is these things that we have cannot be fixed and we just have to learn to live with it. I think that really makes it worse physically and mentally. I'm going to read up about what you were talking about now. I appreciate you thinking of me. Let me know how it goes.
What do you think of progressing based upon activation levels like below. Also, providing the isometrics in the beginning phase. 1. Side lying Hip abduction - 4x10 reps (beginner) 2. Hip hikes- 4x10 reps (beginner) 3. Crab walks with yellow band around knee - 4x10 reps (novice) 4. Wall squat- 4x 10 reps(novice) 5. Sidelying plank- 4x 10 reps (advanced) 6. Single leg squat- 4x 10 reps (advanced)
Great suggestions! I base progressions on a bit more than just activation personally. For example, progressing from wall squats to single leg squats is a big jump in balance, coordination, and strength of multiple muscle groups.
Now I am really confused as Ortho Dr says I have Bilateral Trochanteric Bursitis, and my PT exercises are the opposite of those discussed here, for eg., I am to stop placing my wt on one leg in my exercise classes until the bursa are healing.
Thank you for putting this together. Bi-lateral hip pain is greatly affecting my powerlifting this year and sleep. Already started implementing the isometric exercises today.
Ummmmm. I’m on year 9. Been doing physical therapy, ice, heat, swimming , cortisone shots…. Still in pain especially when walking. It is very dabilitating.
Very credible info here. But I feel like the descriptions of the actual exercises to solve the problem are glossed over too quickly - doing these correctly is paramount but you go too fast and breezily over the exercise details. It's also not clear which hip side (R or L) benefits from the side exercises - if my pain is on the left which side should be up or down? The list of unexplained possible exercises at the end is useless to anyone who doesn't know what these are (... and the list goes on).
Thank you I will be doing this. At 77 I still want to walk n run up the stairs like I did last year. I had total Rt knee replacement last year followed by heart surgery which knock me down, 3 months of physical therapy but still not the same. Can’t walk more then 1:2 mile I get tired n weak
I have bursitis in my right hip & have been getting injections in it the injections are getting to where they are not helping i am right back in pain i a couple of days are weeks i am tired of injections & pt he said if this injection does not help then he will do an mri if he finds anything he said he would send me to hospital for injections & if that does not help then send me to a specialist to possibly have a joint replacement is joint replacement a total hip replacement?? I would rather go that route cause i am tired of injections but i don't know why he would have to send me to a specialist when he is an orthopedic dr.why is that??
I"ve been diagnosed with acute sciatica and hip bursitis. Would these exercises and stretches help my condition? I've been in PT for several months which has helped as initially I had pain down front going from groin most of way down my leg and pain from back down my butt down back of leg most way down, achy and sore. Now pain pretty much isolated to groin which was getting better but recently had relapse of groin pain. Any advice?
I have question. I feel I have Trendelenburg Gait ( walk like an penguin ) and both of my knees aren't in the best health ( total knee replacements ) , do you think the knees are the cause , How I walk ? My Right Hip is Weak . Thank you . Thank you again for explain all this , I am learning as I go alone . IN my life there's so much going on , it becomes overwhelming , I am researching it ALL !!!
Good stuff. Except... I have it on both sides. :-} Anyway, I've been doing some research, and also finding that muscle release therapy with a tennis ball is recommended for the muscles around the trochanter, as well as the IT band. I'm guessing this would be good to add to the exercises you describe here?
By watching this my greater trochanter on left is my main problem. It is weak and painful to walk and makes me unsteady, to the point where I grab a door jamb on side to ease down steps. Is there an exercise for this? Thank you
Wow….best video ever! And I have watched so many videos trying to find help with this sudden hip pain. I’m basically in good shape, but after a 10 day trip to Greece exploring the ancient ruins consisting of strenuous climbing, I came back with extreme hip pain barely being able to walk.
I just hope that this rest thing is not the ultimate be all end all because it would ruin my job I give guided tours in a brewery 15 to 20 hrs a week but I often have stacked days (e.g. 2x 9hrs days, one on friday one on saturday) and there is loads of stairs to be hiked every day. If I would have to rest hard then thi would be a catastrophy Diagnosis is beginning athrosis of hip but as well signs of tendinosis within trochantor major gluteal muscles... And of course it hurts a lot after stacked days However it is even worse (a lot) when I go climbing
And, then, there's someone like me with bone spurs on my GT that causes my bursitis. And, I can no longer take anti-inflammatories. Always exceptions to these general, but good videos.
very informative video. I have Lateral hip pain that started about a year ago and it fares up after mountain bike rides. Not sure if it is due to the fact that I have always consider myself having weak glutes but never done anything to strengthen them. I love mountain biking but lately I dread bike rides because I know I'll have lateral hip pain for several days afterwards. Do you think having weak or unbalance glutes can cause the lateral pain I am experiencing?
@@thomasromeni8063 so sorry to hear that Its been more than a week since i did hip abduction exercise i put weight on my hip Bone and caused bursitis in both hips M very concerned about thé healing that it might not occur All thé comments in forums and youtube are négatif about healing no one healed everyone live in pain 😭😭😭
@@vivianeraw8448 I'm sorry for you too. The healing process varies from person to person. I hope that you will still get an improvement quickly. At the beginning of my problems, I was also diagnosed with hip bursitis on both sides and received a total of five cortisone infiltrations and both hips that had no effects. Only a change of doctor brought the diagnosis of a double-sided hardening of the Gluteus Maximus tendon at the transition to the iliotibial band. In our pain clinic, I am treated with Tilidin Long and Novalgin for my pain. Pregabalin and duloxetine cause me severe side effects. Pregabalin made it possible for me to ride my road bike and mountain bike again without getting too much pain afterwards. Hopefully you at least have a medication for your pain.
ok 70 year old woman here, xrays say hip unremarkable. they don't think it is bursitis, so they had me to stretching and strengthening of the glutes..... LOL. no improvement in fact i feel worse. what now?
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 *📚 The video discusses various names for hip-related pain and aims to identify the most accurate diagnosis based on research.* 00:29 *🦴 The anatomy of the hip includes the greater trochanter, gluteus medius and minimus muscles, iliotibial band, and bursae.* 01:25 *🔍 The term "bursitis" suggests inflammation, but research indicates that gluteal tendinopathy is a more common cause of lateral hip pain.* 01:38 *🧪 Studies using MRI, sonography, and histological analysis show that bursitis is less common than tendon pathology in patients with lateral hip pain.* 03:49 *🔄 The focus on tendinopathy over bursitis shifts treatment from passive to active, emphasizing load management and patient control over recovery.* 04:32 *🚫 Certain physical tests can help rule in or out the condition, such as pain during single-leg standing or hip abduction.* 05:11 *🛌 Activity modifications, like adjusting sleeping and sitting habits, can reduce tendon compression and alleviate symptoms.* 06:20 *💪 Exercise progressions aim to build the capacity of the gluteal tendons, starting with isometrics and advancing to single-leg weight-bearing exercises.* 07:01 *🏋️ Rehabilitation should include strengthening hip abductors and adjusting gait mechanics, with a minimum three-month commitment to the regimen.* 09:10 *📝 Gluteal tendinopathy and greater trochanteric pain syndrome are preferred terms over hip bursitis, and treatment should include activity modification and targeted strengthening exercises.* Made with HARPA AI
So, I have just been diagnosed with Greater trochanteric bursitis that is causing me severe pain but you are saying that is not what I am suffering from? I take strong painkillers, use ice and have been given exercises I need to do.

Thanks so much for the information, I have hip dysplasia in both hips but always had pin in my right hip since I was 13 or 14. Im going to try these exercises
I also have hip dysplasia in both hips with a pin in my right hip. How are you managing pain? Do you experience pain in one hip more so than the other?
@@dinam211 Yes I still experience more pain in my right hip. I do a lot of stretching and icing my hip when the pain is a lot. I've gone to a physical therapist and he helps out and he pulled my leg while I was laying down and that REALLY did help a lot.
I've also gotten a cortisone injection in my hip twice and that helped a lot I haven't done it in a while since I read that it can cause the hip cartridge to deteriorate faster.
Outstanding breakdown!
Thank you for this very accurate explaining video!
Yes, this video helped me to remember why my paint increased. I stoppend ice speed skating due to Corona and some of your excercises are similair.
Very glad I came across this video! Excellent!
great video of both science and practical exercises !
What a great channel, y’all produce some really great educational content. Thank you!!
Thank you!
I do need to do these exercises.Thank you
Great vide, I'm doing these exercises through my physio and they do help if done regularly it's a very slow process, if I have a can't be bothered day then I do notice that I'm stiff sore, I have it in both sides and find sleep pain hardest to deal with but thanks again
This was incredible! Great job :)
Thank you!
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you
You might try castor oil (organic hexane free). Just rub over hip area where you have pain. I do this just before bed. For me it seems to be anti-inflammatory and relieves pain. I also sleep with a pillow between my legs which seems to help.
All the best.
If the pain is deep in the glutes how is the castor oil going to get there.
Just been diagnosed with trochanteric bursitis in right hip and it seems to be affecting my left hip as well now.
same here!
Dont sleep on them
I m recently got them from doing hip abduction thé wrong way 😥
M resting and icing and i avoid sleeping on sides
Hope you recovered now
Pls share any tips that help u recover
How is your bursitis now
@@mirjanamirjana5409 it's ok bit knees are in pain now and I think and feel thar one of my knees underneath has got torn meniscus which is painted so lots of pain in my body now
Hi Dr. Marc,
My hip pain started after I wore a walking boot for 10 days for a foot injury. This was back in June the pain would wake me up at night. I find that stretching and massaging the glutes, TFL, quads and hip flexors make IT worse. Now It shoots into my lower back and adductors. :(
Fantastic video. Makes a lot of sence.
I know you mean well and this video helps some people... But I'm so tired of hearing PT and ice packs cure this. Tried it many times, it actually made it worse a lot too. I'm on year 6 of this pain. My condition is so bad now that I don't have 1 hour pain-free any day and I'm 29. Still trying to find a doctor/surgeon that will just remove these useless/debilitating bursas. Because my MRI doesn't show anthing I'm still told to stretch and ice. Like can there be a rule if stretching and ice don't fix it within a year, we recommend surgery? Why in 2021, are we letting people live in so much pain? Also, as a young person, no one even prescribes us pain killers.
How r u now ? R u still in pain?
M newly injured m'y self doing hip abduction i put the weight on my hip Bone 😥 . M so scared that it wont heal
Any tips please
@@vivianeraw8448 I ended up getting hip fai surgery. I found a hip surgeon and he looked at my x-rays and said I have hip impingement on both sides and torn labrums. I am still recovering from surgery so I cant say for certain but I think I already have less pain. I've only had the right side done and he took out my bursa too. I get the left done in a few weeks! The bad news is apparently the bursa can grow back. I think we're all unique in our pain. Mine got so bad that I knew I needed a big intervention.
@@amiejohnson4841 but Atleast you will grow New healthy one
I wish you à Quick recovery
@@amiejohnson4841 Glad you got some relief from the pain. Interesting story.
I dont believe these videos are intended as complete treatment guides, just something that can give useful advice. The other thing that is worth bearing in mind is there is a difference between treatment and cure. Cure, I feel, implies something being like new. This isn't really how a body works, we always have our scars, there is always some sort of an adaptation. I also think that if you think you 'need surgery' it is going to be an uphill battle to rehabilitate. It is possible that surgery is the fix, and that is great, but I think it is also worth pointing out that your experience is a case study of 1. Many, many people who experience something that may fit with common characteristics of what is thought of as hip bursitis will not require surgery.
Wow! Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks a lot! 👍
Excellent video, as always!! Do you guys think that we could have the same idea/approach for a diagnostics of "Shoulder Bursitis"? Find some confortable mobility drills and improve loading in the area, both isometrics or isotonic exercises?
Absolutely!
I've had two major falls in the last five years. The first resulting in bursitis of the greater trochanter of my left hip. The second I messed up my SI joint on my left side. So now my hip is constantly inflamed and my SI joint hurts and affects my sciatic nerve. I'm only 43. I've been through physical therapy. I went to a chiropractor for a while. Currently I'm dealing with it by taking celebrex. I'm pretty much in constant pain and am no stranger to loss of sleep. I sleep with a pillow between my knees. Waking frequently from either my hip or sciatic nerve burning down. I'm just miserable constantly and at a loss on my options. My Dr said he doesn't like to prescribe the celebrex long term. I've been on it about 5 months now and it does allow me some alleviation of pain for some quality of life. I'm terrified of when he won't prescribe it anymore because I get to where I can hardly move and in severe pain. I want the problem fixed. I'm too young to hurt like this for the rest of my life. Please, is there a stretch or exercise that channels BOTH problems. I just want to be and feel normal again and do things I enjoy like dancing. 😢 Thank you....
@@jojosez8945 No, unfortunately not. Now I also have Plantar Fasciitis on that same side. So every step feels like a huge hot rod in my heel. I just don't know what to do or what the answer is. It can't be a good thing for our body to always be inflamed on one side. (Immune response wise) Idk, I'm thinking I may try Yoga next. I'm just getting over Covid. I had to go get my first treatment of Monoclonal Antibody Infusion.
So I will let you know if yoga works. I'm so sorry. I know what kind of pain you are in and how it affects your life. If you figure something out let me know too. Maybe we can help one another. 🙂
@@jojosez8945 Thank you, I will definitely check into that. I hope you get some good news back. The one thing that has always bothered me is these things that we have cannot be fixed and we just have to learn to live with it. I think that really makes it worse physically and mentally. I'm going to read up about what you were talking about now. I appreciate you thinking of me. Let me know how it goes.

Amazing video!
What do you think of progressing based upon activation levels like below. Also, providing the isometrics in the beginning phase.
1. Side lying Hip abduction - 4x10 reps (beginner)
2. Hip hikes- 4x10 reps (beginner)
3. Crab walks with yellow band around knee - 4x10 reps (novice)
4. Wall squat- 4x 10 reps(novice)
5. Sidelying plank- 4x 10 reps (advanced)
6. Single leg squat- 4x 10 reps (advanced)
Great suggestions! I base progressions on a bit more than just activation personally. For example, progressing from wall squats to single leg squats is a big jump in balance, coordination, and strength of multiple muscle groups.
Now I am really confused as Ortho Dr says I have Bilateral Trochanteric Bursitis, and my PT exercises are the opposite of those discussed here, for eg., I am to stop placing my wt on one leg in my exercise classes until the bursa are healing.
Thank you for putting this together. Bi-lateral hip pain is greatly affecting my powerlifting this year and sleep. Already started implementing the isometric exercises today.
Hope it helps!
How did it work out? Same boat.
Yeah. Same . Need an update
How r u now r u healed?
@@noway5266 how r u doing!? Any progress , i Hope u healed
Really really helpful!! Thank you 🙏
Great explanation
I have gluteal tendinopathy in both hips and it is awful, had pain for 18 years 😢
Did you try all said in the video. ? Feeling sorry for you. Feels like no Dr can help us
Ummmmm. I’m on year 9. Been doing physical therapy, ice, heat, swimming , cortisone shots…. Still in pain especially when walking. It is very dabilitating.
Very credible info here. But I feel like the descriptions of the actual exercises to solve the problem are glossed over too quickly - doing these correctly is paramount but you go too fast and breezily over the exercise details. It's also not clear which hip side (R or L) benefits from the side exercises - if my pain is on the left which side should be up or down? The list of unexplained possible exercises at the end is useless to anyone who doesn't know what these are (... and the list goes on).
Thank you I will be doing this. At 77 I still want to walk n run up the stairs like I did last year. I had total Rt knee replacement last year followed by heart surgery which knock me down, 3 months of physical therapy but still not the same. Can’t walk more then 1:2 mile I get tired n weak
I’m disappointed with my self. I like the Nu Step but can’t do. As much as I did before. I loose my balance.
Great video!!!
Thank you so much going yo try these exercises
🥇Thank you so much for this info.
🥇
Awesome! Thank you!
May you please do a video on heel bursitis
I was just diagnosed today😢
Awesome 👏 😊 great vid.
I have bursitis in my right hip & have been getting injections in it the injections are getting to where they are not helping i am right back in pain i a couple of days are weeks i am tired of injections & pt he said if this injection does not help then he will do an mri if he finds anything he said he would send me to hospital for injections & if that does not help then send me to a specialist to possibly have a joint replacement is joint replacement a total hip replacement?? I would rather go that route cause i am tired of injections but i don't know why he would have to send me to a specialist when he is an orthopedic dr.why is that??
I"ve been diagnosed with acute sciatica and hip bursitis. Would these exercises and stretches help my condition? I've been in PT for several months which has helped as initially I had pain down front going from groin most of way down my leg and pain from back down my butt down back of leg most way down, achy and sore. Now pain pretty much isolated to groin which was getting better but recently had relapse of groin pain. Any advice?
Great stuff thanks👍🏼
Hii, what if my affected areas, are both hips :(? Thank you
If it's not inflammation that causes the pain then what causes it? How can a weak tendon cause pain? Is tendinopathy like a pulled muscle?
I have question. I feel I have Trendelenburg Gait ( walk like an penguin ) and both of my knees
aren't in the best health ( total knee replacements ) , do you think the knees are the cause , How I walk ?
My Right Hip is Weak . Thank you . Thank you again for explain all this , I am learning as I go alone .
IN my life there's so much going on , it becomes overwhelming , I am researching it ALL !!!
Will these workouts irritate the area and make it sore?
You should do something with knee bursitis
Great information/video! Thanks.
No problem!
Good stuff. Except... I have it on both sides. :-} Anyway, I've been doing some research, and also finding that muscle release therapy with a tennis ball is recommended for the muscles around the trochanter, as well as the IT band. I'm guessing this would be good to add to the exercises you describe here?
By watching this my greater trochanter on left is my main problem. It is weak and painful to walk and makes me unsteady, to the point where I grab a door jamb on side to ease down steps. Is there an exercise for this? Thank you
Wow….best video ever! And I have watched so many videos trying to find help with this sudden hip pain. I’m basically in good shape, but after a 10 day trip to Greece exploring the ancient ruins consisting of strenuous climbing, I came back with extreme hip pain barely being able to walk.
I just hope that this rest thing is not the ultimate be all end all because it would ruin my job
I give guided tours in a brewery 15 to 20 hrs a week but I often have stacked days (e.g. 2x 9hrs days, one on friday one on saturday) and there is loads of stairs to be hiked every day.
If I would have to rest hard then thi would be a catastrophy
Diagnosis is beginning athrosis of hip but as well signs of tendinosis within trochantor major gluteal muscles... And of course it hurts a lot after stacked days
However it is even worse (a lot) when I go climbing
Fantastic! Dealing with this right now and this confirmed a lot about diagnosis and how to address. 🤙🏻
I have this since 1994 I think working on a assembly line did it
Thank you but try to simplify it. Thanks
And, then, there's someone like me with bone spurs on my GT that causes my bursitis. And, I can no longer take anti-inflammatories. Always exceptions to these general, but good videos.
Does Vitamin D deficiency cause greater trochanter pain? Or iliotibial band pain.
very informative video. I have Lateral hip pain that started about a year ago and it fares up after mountain bike rides. Not sure if it is due to the fact that I have always consider myself having weak glutes but never done anything to strengthen them. I love mountain biking but lately I dread bike rides because I know I'll have lateral hip pain for several days afterwards. Do you think having weak or unbalance glutes can cause the lateral pain I am experiencing?
Is biking safe ? Please and thank you for answering my question.
Hey there have you solved the problem?
Hi Doc . So could i mixed this exercises with moderate biking and / or hiking if the painlevel allows it . 3 to 4 by 10 scale ? Thanx again , Thomas .
How r u now
R u still in pain?
@@vivianeraw8448
Yes .
I'm still in pain.
@@thomasromeni8063 so sorry to hear that
Its been more than a week since i did hip abduction exercise i put weight on my hip Bone and caused bursitis in both hips
M very concerned about thé healing that it might not occur
All thé comments in forums and youtube are négatif about healing no one healed everyone live in pain 😭😭😭
@@vivianeraw8448
I'm sorry for you too. The healing process varies from person to person. I hope that you will still get an improvement quickly. At the beginning of my problems, I was also diagnosed with hip bursitis on both sides and received a total of five cortisone infiltrations and both hips that had no effects. Only a change of doctor brought the diagnosis of a double-sided hardening of the Gluteus Maximus tendon at the transition to the iliotibial band. In our pain clinic, I am treated with Tilidin Long and Novalgin for my pain. Pregabalin and duloxetine cause me severe side effects. Pregabalin made it possible for me to ride my road bike and mountain bike again without getting too much pain afterwards. Hopefully you at least have a medication for your pain.
I HAVE ARTHRITIS IN BOTH MY HIP JOINTS, BALL & SOCKET JOINTS. WHEN I DO THESE EXERCISES MY HIPS ACHE FOR DAYS. ANY SUGGESTIONS. THANKS.
ok 70 year old woman here, xrays say hip unremarkable. they don't think it is bursitis, so they had me to stretching and strengthening of the glutes..... LOL. no improvement in fact i feel worse. what now?
But how soon after the first occurrence of pain should we start the exercises?
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 *📚 The video discusses various names for hip-related pain and aims to identify the most accurate diagnosis based on research.*
00:29 *🦴 The anatomy of the hip includes the greater trochanter, gluteus medius and minimus muscles, iliotibial band, and bursae.*
01:25 *🔍 The term "bursitis" suggests inflammation, but research indicates that gluteal tendinopathy is a more common cause of lateral hip pain.*
01:38 *🧪 Studies using MRI, sonography, and histological analysis show that bursitis is less common than tendon pathology in patients with lateral hip pain.*
03:49 *🔄 The focus on tendinopathy over bursitis shifts treatment from passive to active, emphasizing load management and patient control over recovery.*
04:32 *🚫 Certain physical tests can help rule in or out the condition, such as pain during single-leg standing or hip abduction.*
05:11 *🛌 Activity modifications, like adjusting sleeping and sitting habits, can reduce tendon compression and alleviate symptoms.*
06:20 *💪 Exercise progressions aim to build the capacity of the gluteal tendons, starting with isometrics and advancing to single-leg weight-bearing exercises.*
07:01 *🏋️ Rehabilitation should include strengthening hip abductors and adjusting gait mechanics, with a minimum three-month commitment to the regimen.*
09:10 *📝 Gluteal tendinopathy and greater trochanteric pain syndrome are preferred terms over hip bursitis, and treatment should include activity modification and targeted strengthening exercises.*

solid fucking video
So, I have just been diagnosed with Greater trochanteric bursitis that is causing me severe pain but you are saying that is not what I am suffering from? I take strong painkillers, use ice and have been given exercises I need to do.
Thank you.
