These stretches work! A few months ago, hip tendonitis kept me from enjoying my weekly hikes. I started doing these stretches a few times a week, and within a few weeks, I was able to get back on the trail. I've kept up with the stretches and am now able to hike further than ever before. Your UA-cam video made a big difference in my life. Thank you so much!
How long will it takes for my hips to get better with these exercises and how often should I do the exercises? My hips affects me sitting down, laying flat down, driving, and sleeping on my side so I wonder will these exercises really work.
Thank you so much. I am so active and I just had 2 failed hip reconstructions …then 3 trauma surgery’s on my leg to remove a 20 year Old rod and two screws that had no screw heads. Broken knee twice, broken femur due to a bone osteotomy then a total hip replacement Now I’m dealing with the tendinitis part. This is really encouraging and I cannot thank you enough for posting this. This ache is making me nauseous. It’s super draining and upsetting and I just want to get past this point. I know tendinitis could take a really long time to resolve and I feel I have to stay off of this but I also need to work so I’m really in a bind. I feel by working will take me back to square one :/ I am a massage therapist - more yikes :/
My hip feels almost out of place in a way, when I rotate I feel a sharp pain in my hip and it is a bit uncomfortable to walk. I have had this for 2 days now but when I woke up today it was a lot worse. What could it be???
Hi, I have had hip arthroscopic labrum surgery 5 weeks ago and have since had pain in the side of my hip. Would you suggest these exercises to help treat what I suspect is tendinitis or is it potentially risky in relation to my recovery from this surgery?
Thanks! It depends on what stage of recovery you are in and how your body reacts to treatment, but in general, therapeutic exercises can be done 1-3 times a day, every day.
Excellent, thank you for the very clear instructions on how to do these 🙂 My MRI said I have Tendinitis of the Gluteal packets inserted towards the Trochanter Major (iliopsoas and hamstrings are normal). I think that's my hip area so hoping these will help to strengthen my muscles. I'm Subscribed.
My hip was suddenly in massive pain. The last time this happened it ended in surgery. I looked for exercise videos and found this one. I did the first two stretches and it feels a lot better. I hope it stays this way. Thank you!
It's called the Womfy. It's made of memory foam, and it's very comfortable. So you could use it for that if you wanted. You can find it here: www.amazon.com/dp/B01LFWL80M/?ref=exp_askdoctorjo_lv_dp_vv_d (Affiliate link)
Hi Doctor Jo! Happy subscriber here. My knees are healing from a minor injury, so I don’t feel confident doing the two first stretches. Is there a different way of doing them that doesn’t have to do with supporting all the weight on the knees? Is it ok to skip them?
Thank you for the great info. on the straight leg raise I heard a pop in my hip flexor not sure if that was bad but it felt good two months of pain and now I'm starting to feel better
Dr Jo I really appreciate your videos. You do a great job of describing the stretch or exercise. I have a hip tendinopathy that has been dogging me intermittently for months. I'm a fit woman and enjoy my fitness routine including elliptical, spinning and recreational walking. I need to get rid of it once and for all because it has worsened and is negatively impacting my QOL. I have compiled a list of your stretches and exercises for hip bursitis and tendonitis and have been doing twice daily, NSAIDS, icing and TENS. How often do you recommend I do in a day and when may I begin any of the activities I listed? Thank you again. Your style is very effective. I have shared your site with many.
Thanks, and you're welcome. Therapeutic exercises can be done 2-3 times a day. As for when to start the activities, unfortunately I don't know since I can't evaluate you. It really depends on how severe your case is and how your body is reacting to treatment.
@@AskDoctorJo Thanks. Yes I completely understand the limits of your role. I am amazed that with your exercises I have discovered a weakness I had no idea about. Straight leg raise! Injured side super weak but even good side is surprisingly not a strong as I'd guess! Thanks again. Really is a wonderful resource!!!
While sitting on the floor with legs straight. I put a belt around my left ankle and try to pull my foot to my knee. before I get there I have to lean back. If I stay sitting up the pain in my glutes is pretty bad and does not feel like a stretch. I have been to an orthopedic doctor and it seems every pain I have he says is related to my hip arthritis. Would that be true or am I super tight?
My muscles are a little tight,but they feel sore one the ends where they attach to the pelvis and hip bones. Stretching my glutes and pirifomis never feels good. It is usually a sharp pain and does not really feel like I am stretching anything. When I get in a car, I have to pick my leg up and put it in because of the pain. The pain is usually an inner thigh muscle up high on my thigh and one of the muscle in upper glute that runs from the upper middle glute to my thigh bone.
Have you had any imaging? That almost sounds like a labrum issue. If you are getting sharp pain with stretches, you should definitely stop. Stretching should only be a "hurts so good feeling," but sharp pain is usually something a little more serious than just tight muscles.
All I had were x rays. In 2014 I felt a pop on my inner thigh followed by bad pain that I still deal with. Every doctor I see takes an x ray and sees arthritis and says it is referred pain. No doctor ordered an mri or any other kind of imaging.
60 and my hobby is Jiu Jitsu and the constant grappling/rolling keeps my left hip flexor inflamed. I took a month off, but it started immediately when I started again. Hoping these will help. Thx !
@@veganninja5886 Haha. Knees are all better !….now pain in my left hip flexor. They tell me it is from sitting at my desk for two and a half years during COVID. Can’t seem to fix this issue.
Hi Dr joy I have hip replacement but I can't do some movement on this video ..like pulling knees on chest completely..what can I do to make my leg flexibility..i had my surgery 8years back..
Hey Doctor Jo! MRI results indicate I have “Mild to moderate tendinosis of the gluteus minimus tendon at its insertion on the greater trochanter”. I was hoping you could recommend some exercises for this specific injury, how often they should be done, and perhaps the estimated healing timeframe. Thank you so much. Phil.
I don't have a video for the gluteus minimus, bu ones for the maximus should still help: ua-cam.com/video/Y3T4IedBd4o/v-deo.html They can be done 2-3 times a day. As far as your other questions, I really don't know since I can't evaluate you. Everyone is different.
You can do them 1-2 times a day. Yes, I always think icing for 10-15 minutes afterwards if you are still having pain or swelling is a good option. Good luck.

Do I use tendonitis stretches and exercises to get rid of the pain or do I rest and wait for reduced or no pain then do these?
Thank you so much I've got tendonitis in my hip flexors and I did the first stretch and I felt it straight away it was such a good feeling
You're welcome.
Wow! These exercises are great 👍🏻 thank you 😊

You're welcome, and thanks!
Thank u so much doctor i have tarlov cyst on my sacrum with so much pain in my hips and legs do u have any exercises safe for it?
I don't have anything specific for that. Do you have a TENS unit to help control the pain?
When I stretch my IT band, I feel pain in the inner hip/thigh, vice stretch in IT. How do I change that?
Where did you buy that purple pillow? Is it good for knee protection?
It's called the Womfy. It's made of memory foam, and it's very comfortable. So you could use it for that if you wanted. You can find it here: www.amazon.com/dp/B01LFWL80M/?ref=exp_askdoctorjo_lv_dp_vv_d (Affiliate link)
Thanks a lot i have undergone my cementless hips arthroplasty way back sept 16 2014 almost 3yrs exactly so can I do this now?
Yes, you should be able to do them now. Good luck.
Great video. Used this routine last night for my hip tendonities. Immediate relief. A+
hola buenos días
Buenos dias :-)
idk what i have done to deserve hip tendinitis at 15 😂
If I get intense soreness in my hip shortly afterwards, could that mean I went at this program too aggressively?
Thank you so much for this video. It is helping me so much

I have calcific tendonitis in hip detected in last month with 1.1 * 1 cm. Now I have little pain. Is this exercise useful. Please suggest
I have hip joint while walking ,and not to sit properly ,when fold the leg hip pain comes.please tell what happened
Thank you for the great info. on the straight leg raise I heard a pop in my hip flexor not sure if that was bad but it felt good two months of pain and now I'm starting to feel better
You're welcome. As long as the pop isn't painful, it might have just been the tendon moving around. Good luck!

I'm diagnosed with Adductor Tendonitis. Can I do these stretches to recover from it?
Husband Having hip groin pain and he can’t even get his leg up should he see a doctor?what kind ? Or a physical therapist? Thanks
He should go see his doctor to find out what is going on.

It could be a combination of both. Do you feel like you have really tight muscles?

Sorry to hear that. It really sounds like a labral issue, especially with the symptoms you are describing and how it happened.

Is spondylolysthesis associated with lifting heavy weights??
It can be, but there are many other reasons as well.
Thanks😆😆
I so appreciate all of your videos! Thank you for doing these.
You're welcome.
When pulling your leg up with the strap, are you supposed to keep your knee lock out or are you supposed to bend it? Thanks Dr Jo!
You're welcome! Try to keep it straight, but relaxed.
Could you please tell me, what stretches to do to be able to open my legs. I can hardly raise my legs up without pain. Please.
Have you been diagnosed with tendonitis? Unfortunately, I don't know what would help you since I can't evaluate you.
I rate this video 110%😌 It help me without my Tendonitis🙏
Glad it helped.
