I have graduated to being able to squeeze left to right back and forth glute exercises. You have helped so many people and I am one of them. Always, a huge thank you.
Hi Susie! That is so awesome! We are so excited to hear that you've been able to progress on those glute squeezes and intentionally activating each glute separately. Amazing work! Thank you so much for the kind words and it's our pleasure. We are so grateful that you seeing improvements. We wish you continued relief! 🧡
I was fortunate to find you back in December when I was in a pitiful state. Diagnosed with advanced Hip OA and labral tears in both my hips I was told only a double hip replacement would help. Well, 4 months later, I am 100% pain free. I owe it mostly to your videos, your program, and your expertise. You truly know your stuff. My stubbornness helped too 💪I refused to accept the bleak prognosis and kept the faith even with the setbacks. I am now preparing myself to return to the running that I love so much. June is my target. My focus now is strengthening. Thanks to you I make a conscious effort to use my glutes, even when walking, and to keep good posture when sitting (desk job). I always keep that pelvis in check. You have taught me so much and I am grateful. Orthopedic surgeons could learn a thing or two from you. It would make them better doctors. All this to say I no longer feel sorry for myself. I have a life to live and I feel like celebrating - in stiletto heels 😜 That’s right! I’m going to let the glutes do all the work! 👠👠 Thank you ❤
I can tell you tonight I walked exactly the way you showed me engaging my glutes and walking kind of like a duck and I can tell you I'm pain-free for the first time in a year👍🙏👀. I can't tell you how much I thank you for showing me all your exercises for all the parts of the body. The next time I go to Texas I'm going to stop in and give you some flowers and my old cane.😂🙏 God bless you with knowledge and how to get better thank you you are a Healer🙏
I’m a retired physical therapist and I have hip issues. Excessive walking, standing and especially stair exercises kill me!! Sometimes a bike depending the position I’m sitting such as recumbent vs upright bike. What I find works best is hip strengthening, the ones that don’t hurt. I strengthen my quads and hamstrings using gym machines. Try walking in a pool with water chest height. To increase my heart rate for aerobics I use an upper extremity “bike”. Thank you for the info and I’m off to research the new info on hip stuff.
That is so true. Walking causes me so much pain but a treadmill helps as it moves your leg to take the step i will pay attention to squeezing my glutes. I can do that.
Have been working on strengthening my glutes for the last month and it's helping. I'm not walking very far yet, but have not had the pain I used to. Thank you so much for your videos!
You are very welcome Cindy! We are so glad that strengthening your glutes is helping you! Keep up the good work and keep working on those glutes!
I have an up coming vacation that will require lots of walking. I'm bone on bone knee and bone on bone hip on my left side. My right hip was replaced and I'm taller by one inch on the right. I'm planning on using two canes like walking sticks and I can keep up pretty good. The exercises have taken away nearly all pain. Guess my foot neuropathy is going to be my biggest issue. Thanks for the videos, they truly help.
Hey Marga! We truly hope all goes well on your vacation! If you haven't already, it may be helpful to look into a heal lift for the leg that is shorter. Hope this helps!
Excellent descriptions! Thanks 🙏🌞🌻

Hi i went for an x-ray and got diagnosed with hip arthritis but its in the early stages i get slight pain but nothing severe. I went for a walk today and was tightening my glutes like you recommended and it really worked ive been consciously doing it around the house too. Absolutely amazing. I thank you from the bottom of my heart you seem like such an amazing, caring, compassionate guy. God bless you. I was wondering can you do a video on driving and the correct sitting posture because i feel like that's how i developed my arthritis in the first place as i am a professional driver by trade (bus driver) and there's lots of turning your hips greeting passengers, taking money and the drivers seats are not fit for purpose also generally getting bounced about in the cab. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much. I'm a real big fan.
Thanks for the info
You are very welcome Rose!
Thank you
Hi Sandra!
Thank you! 🙌🧡
Thanks!
Hi John! Thank you so much for your support! 🙌
I couldn't agree more.
I find my gluts are working really good. Also it helps the pelvic floor muscles when tightening, then loosening the gluts. I'm going to try to walk like that to see if it will help my hips. Thank you for all your help. Have a great day my friend ❤️🙂⚘️.
You are very welcome Donna! We are so glad we were able to help you! We hope you continue to notice improvements and are able to master this rather complex skill!
Please address proper cane technique. Can I assume that I should hold the cane on the opposite side of the sensitive hip?
Holding the cane in the opposite hand is the way to go. The moment you step with the arthritic leg the cane should be on the ground taking as much as possible of the weight
I was born w/one hip higher than the other(quite a lot) I found out when I was 17 in a PE class. When I ask my mom she said the DR told her that when I was born, and my mom stated she wasn't sure if I would even be able to walk. My dad was in college and I wasn't able to get special shoes, etc. I had a THR 4 yrs. ago.. I was never able to ride a bike as a child, do a Hula-hoop. or really run. I was the last to be chosen for a baseball team. I felt bad. When I had my 1st child, I was had toxemia ,and was admitted to the hospital. After a wk. I had not started labor, so I was induced w/Pitocin. Didn't work. They did it for 6 hrs. and would have kept it up, but, no contractions, no nothing. They tried this on how to handle my case, and 3 mos. later split up. My mom's friend knew the docs wife. Anyway a yr. ago I decided to look it up and it's called a Pelvic Tilt. Then it all made sense, Nothing wrong w/the other hip. The OB's never considered it. It makes me mad that I suffered my whole life and got no help. My PT refused to work on me after he found out. I went to see him for a "Weak Leg" No X-rays were taken for 6 mos. I do feel much better now hip-wise.
I’ve been continuously getting in 1500-2000 steps a day in my home by sort of marching in place while I watch tv. Could this be aggravating my hip OA??
Hey Kelly! This can be aggravating your hip OA, especially if you are using the quad muscles to do your marching. It is more important to focus on using the glutes and performing simple motions that help to decrease pain in the hips. We have plenty of videos for this if you would like to learn more about what you can do to heal your hip OA. Here is a link to our playlist of videos:

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you so much ! I appreciate the input!
I will have total hip replacement soon and I am in terrible condition. My whole body hurts, neck, arms, back, thighs. And even my feet. Hurts to walk, sit, get up, get into bed! It’s terrible.
Same here
And me terrible
Sounds easy but certainly is not
I was in your situation 2 years ago when I got my hip replacement. I was trapped in my home unable to walk. When I found this channel, it was too late for me to get better with dr David's exercises. My hip joint was ruined and I felt excruciating pain in my entire body! I am sooooo much better now, and you will be too. I can walk again without canes, and almost all of the pain is gone. You will feel sooo much better after the operation!
I just told my husband - here is someone just like me that hurts all over.
I don't quite understand. Do I thighten the glute while my foot touches the floor or while on the air?
Hey Maria! When your foot touches the floor you should tighten the glute on the same side as the foot in front. Hope this helps!
Hlw sir I want to ask you a question. I am suffering from cervical disc bulge problem and I am now recovering slowly . And my question is that after I recover totally and I have no nerve problems and neck pain . Can I back to play sports again?? I am a sports lover and I basically play cricket. So my question is that after my total recovery can I play sports again ??
Great question Argha! It is definitely possible to return to sport after an injury like this. It is important to make sure to provide stabilization and support to these areas to make sure that this does not happen again. Here is a playlist of videos that should be able to help if you would like to learn more:

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy okay so I want to ask you another question . And I want to ask you that whenever I move my head side to side and tilt it makes some type of grinding and crunching noises . I have done my mri and it shows I have lost my cervical natural curve . I am doing curvature exercises. So my question is that if my natural curve is back again will this grinding and crunching sound will be gone or it remain like this for some time?? And how much time it take for the natural curve to restore again??
What about swimming? Would that help strengthen my glutes?
Swimming will be helpful if you can get your glutes to work rather than your quad muscles during the exercise. If you feel you are using your quads more than your glutes while swimming, then you will likely make your knee problem worse.

Hello Manon!
🧡🙌
What about wading in a pool instead of walking while trying to strengthen your glutes Doc?
Hey there! You can absolutely do this as long as you are certain that you are able to sufficiently activate your glutes!
I messed up on my comment below. Since I never started labor, 11 days after I was admitted to the hospital, by then 2 wks. late and since the Pitocin did not work ,I had a C-section. My OB'S couldn't figure it out and disagreed on how to handle my case, They were in business together for 25 yrs, and split up 3 mos. later. My mom's friend knew the docs wife. A awful painful life for having a Pelvic Tilt. Why have I never seen any discussion about this? ANYWHERE? How common is this? I never got any help. Can you discuss this? When I took my 1st step as a baby, I was wearing my hip down and was lop-sided my whole life. What should have been done to help me? I couldn't dance fast either, only slow dances.
