Lovely patient. Good job explaining what’s happening with the glutes. It’s my favorite body part.

That is exactly my problem on my weak side my ql takes over a lot & right back pain ql pain during walking lunges, b stance rdls, & right leg step ups & have way less reps on right leg than left

[@JohnGibbons]

A lot of people are like that - lots of reasons why the Glutes are not working like they should - see someone like me where you live if it bothers you, regards JG

[@newts-fv8kl]

hi John I always seem to get ql pain which sometimes eases if I activate my glutes but how often a day can I do clamshell exercises etc ive been diagnosed with glute and hamstring tendinopathy

[@JohnGibbons]

Had to comment as dont particularly like the clam shell exercise - see an exercise specialist as sure they can help, regards JG

[@filipzivkovic4866]

But is the hip hiking really happening because of the weaknes/faulty firing pattern or is it because they haven't been coached properly? Personally, i had many clients demonstrating the hip hike, but after proper coaching, they had absolutely no problems and they also demonstrated competence in the single leg stance.

[@JohnGibbons]

This is only one test of many to ascertain a weak Gluteus Medius and yes I can agree with what you are saying as people might need correct advice for when they lift their leg as many people 'cheat' by hitching and after guidance they can lift normally. Regards JG

[@JohnGibbons]

I am sure there are loads of therapists there as I dont know anybody personally in NYC, regards JG

[@lokomotive28]

hey so I’ve been calling tons of physical therapists, they don’t seem to know about that and seem to all say the same things like their reading from a text book, is there a specific name for your profession?

[@dhruvalparmar6198]

Book for muscle firing??

So I'm basically all QL then TFL. I can't even force myself to do the movement without first activating my QL. Holy hell my QLs are TIGHT.

I DO appreciate this man's video content, but I find it funny and curious that I NEVER see this doctor working on any male patients. All of his live models are women and he palpates and manipulates away... (ya know, guys hurt too).

[@JohnGibbons]

I have many videos on applying techniques to men so check them out, regards JG

[@rjm4031]

The model he used often is his partner, so it is convenient for him. There are other videos of him treating male models at during class.
