If my hip flexors are super strong I don’t understand why it is sometimes excruciating for me when I take a step up on the stairs or every time I bend over to pick up something? My glutes don’t hurt it’s my hip flexors that still have residual pain. Yes, I started aggressively working out my glutes only and yes a lot of my hip pain is subsided but 🤦‍♀️ my poor hip flexors or feels like I am pinching some nerves in the front of my hips every time I bend down or go up stairs. What else can I do? Just be patient and keep working out my glutes?

This guy is an expert. Agree 100%…my OA improved 100% after I started to gain strength on my glutes and around hips…Nowadays I jump rope and play basketball regularly. But I Will never stop to strength these muscles.

I rarely comment on videos. Will not watch without a 👍🏻 though.
Just as you described, I’ve bone on bone in both, left hip being worse. When I was told to come back when I’m ready for surgery to replace, I left with a headstrong desire to see how long I can deal without going under the knife. First I researched. A lot! Lost 25 pounds eating anti inflammatory foods and found you. THANK YOU! As a dance teacher for 40 years, I should know this. I can only shake my head and forgive myself for not practicing what I teach. Thank you so much!

Please dont ever stop bringing awareness. ❤

I now understand exactly what I did to aggravate my hip. I walked, off and on, exactly the way you explained on the video I saw this morning: slightly slew footed and engaging the glute 25%. Almost all of my pain was gone by this afternoon. I cannot thank you enough. I’m going to do what you recommend, from this day forward. Thank you isn’t enough!!

Oh my God that's me. I'm 65 and I was told I need hip surgery on both sides. I freaked out. I couldn't believe it and all I did was cry, I still cry because of the pain and because I don't want surgery. I was told it's due to my age and like you said, the doctors said it's the worst they've seen and want me to get surgery right away and get injections. My doctor sent to physical therapy, and a chiropractor and the pain got worst. I am beyond grateful I stumbled across your channel.🙏🏻 I can't wait to start doing everything you're saying ❤ thank you, from the bottom of my heart!!!

@sc0rpi0girl75 1 year ago

What annoys me is that none of the therapists that I've seen have explained this to me. If you've studied the body wouldn't it be logical that the glutes is the main thing to focus on. 🤦‍♀️ it's narrow mindedness. The book says this so that's what it is. Think outside the box for gods sake

I’m scheduled for a hip surgery consult in June. I cancelled replacement last year. I’m gong over these videos again as I feel I probably have muscle imbalances that are causing hip pain……

@tonyarivers1092 1 year ago

I felt that way when I was told I have hip arthritis and I cried in the parking lot😢 I am following you sir and thank you!!!

@debpratt52 1 year ago

Thank you, Dr. David! I'm working on my glutes. Thank goodness, they both still fire. My three younger siblings have all had hip replacement. I'm 73, and am going to listen to you!

I have grade 3 hip arthritis at 47 on left side. Right side is grade 2. Diagnosed 2 years ago. I have always been super active in gym but had stopped during pandemic when gyms were closed and my glutes got weak. I had resorted to walking a lot for exercise...and I was in a lot of pain, limping and i needed a cane just to move around the house. Back in gym I strengthened my glutes and core especially over the past two years according to your advice plus I do lots of mobility work. I cut out leg extensions according to your advice. I also did prp shots. Now I no longer have ANY hip joint pain. I no longer need my cane or meds to move around normally. The only pain I have is from distorted fascia in the area and trigger points in my glutes , TFL, and hip flexors to the front upper thigh, from when area was stressed when hip was dysfunctional and glutes weak. If I have to walk a lot ill need cane because the muscles spasm and press on trigger points and cause nerve pain lower down my leg. Foam rolling helps control this. So I can attest to what you're saying!!! So grateful for your advice 🙏

After years of therapy, spinal surgery, and tons of PT I have found the help I need. I have not returned to my regular schedule for other activities such as yoga which is the one thing I don't want to give up completely.
My shoulders and back are a lot better but I continued to do the indicated exercises by the Doc. and it's amazing how much better I am doing and how much more I can do without pain. I think that I will be doing all the exercises for the rest of my life which is great because I add everything I'm learning to my daily routine.
No more jogging or walking long distances for me, but I'll take short walks and dancing classes.
I squeezed my glutes during these activities and throught the day, and I feel a huge difference in my back and knees. Next will be hips 😅 Thank you Doc. 😊😊😊😊

I was diagnosed with bone on bone hip arthritis, on one side, when I was 27 (I have a connective tissue disorder). I was given no advice, just a walking stick and that I should try to put off surgery. Diagnosis in the other hip at 50. Despite some restricted lateral movement in both hips and occasional flare-ups, I’m still managing to live my life normally (and mostly pain-free) at 68, with no surgery. Now, I work to strengthen my glutes which has also helped. Thanks for your advice - I would probably have a greater range of movement if I’d been given it in my 20s.

Wish I'd come across your channel 7 years ago when this arthritis problem noticeably worsened. That "focus on your glutes and not on your front muscles" is so spot-on for me. Any suggestions for doing that in a pool? I feel like I could be a poster girl for this video. Such a relief to learn that it could take a month to get the glutes to activate independently.

Very active 30 year old diagnosed with hip OA last week. This advice is the best I’ve seen out there especially the point on glute imbalance which my physio has also pointed out. I’m very quad dominant and most discomfort comes from sitting too long from the pressure and I never thought to link it to muscle imbalance because I always thought of myself in good shape. Great advice!

I am 170Lbs overweight. My glutes are sore and the flexor muscles are tight. You are correct. I am on this immediately. Thank you

Best video ever!

@reddhole3422 1 year ago

We need one of these videos for severe hip labrum tears. These are incredibly painful.

@janisrough5858 1 year ago (edited)

You are on to something doc. Sitting for office work for 20-30 years gets everything out of alignment. Stand wrong ,hold head wrong from looking at a computer, walk wrong. Tight glutes certainly helps alleviate posture frim just sitting and having no glutes even just walking on flat cement. Thanks for paying attention to the balance but we just have to live outdoors more.
