I am a 78 year old female with osteoarthritis. I discovered your channel and these exercises several months ago after being told to see an orthopedic surgeon for bone on bone hip arthritis. Following these exercises has enabled me to avoid shots and surgery. I can now sleep on my hip, walk stairs again, and line dance without feeling any pain. Thank you Dr. David. I am truly grateful.
@ Joywanless Im a 68 yr old female. I’ve been diagnosed with left hip osteoarthritis bone on bone. It has been very painful for me to move and on December 18, 2023,. I go for a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon for a hip replacement. I truly do not want to do this. I am starting these exercises gently because I suffer a lot of pain on that area. I am encouraged by what you state here and hope to soon post my gratitude on this site for getting stronger on that hip regenerating Cartlidge on that hip as well as avoiding a hip replacement. Thank you so much for your posting. I am encouraged.
@@dannusmk1578 his exercises have made a tremendous difference in my hip problem. There's a lot to be said for strengthening the glute-muscles to get the hip bone to sit correctly (and no longer endure sharp searing pain!) I truly hope you are able to find relief through strength-training and are able to avoid surgery! 🙏🏼😇❤️🔥
Im 52 years old and starting these. The pain is intense and I can admit that my butt muscles are very weak. Tight hamstrings and tight quads. Looking forward to seeing improvement.
I did 2 sets of exercises on day 1 and I could feel my hip loosen up! I am amazed. After a year and a half of hip pain EVERYDAY, and after going to 2 different physical therapists for 2 months each, I have relief in 2 days!? I wonder why they did not show me these exercises… the windshield wiper exercise is very effective for me. Thank you, thank you, Thank you!!!! I am in between phase 2 and phase 3 from your other video, and I have been determined to avoid surgery if I can. Thank you for all your videos. You have saved me! :)
Try spin classes to tighten up your glutes. I am where you are doing the windshield washer exercises and glute holds. We can beat this and get our lives back.
Me too day 2 and today I fotmup and walked better didnt shuffle and got up from the table without pushing up. Did the shaking legs (another of his videos) and butt squeezes.
ok mate pay attention, this may help someone. After a year and an MRI am sure I have "mild" arthritis in one hip. Caused by standing on one leg and lifting and dropping heel of other leg on a trolley throttle every ten seconds all day. My guess, weakened the glute, strengthened quads and pull it out of align. Your vid taught this.. first time i discovered this in a year of solid hip research. Can walk ...2k before it gets nasty. Front quads were having mind numbing pain on standing, solved by stretching these with foot to glutes and pull foot up,, relaxed quads and immense pain stopped. Still got immense hip pain when standing from sitting,, took a few mins to wriggle foot and hip to take any weight. Started your Glutes exercizes... took one day to improve, madly exercizing them now. ALSO.. the terrible pain on raising from sitting in hip is controlled if I contract glutes hard, ...???? the hip must "slip out" of alignment on sitting and then have to realign on standing, criminal pain. with contracting glutes this seems to pull hip back "in" .. anyhow, will continue and will inform of improvements. Madly eating good oils and fish, and fasting 16 hrs, plus curcumin, glucosamine and chondroiten. OK hope this helps you or someone with such searing quad or hip pain, as pain is enough to see stars. Many thanks, your work seems good as I have become a bit of an expert on all things arthritis and hip leg muscle stretches, strength and alignment. Yours worked literally in a few days.. more power and much love.
How’s things going? I think I’ve got osteoarthritis of the right hip. Been a runner all my life and now I think I’m paying the price. Do you, or did you have trouble sleeping with the pain? Good luck wherever you may be out there my friend.
Thank you Dr. David. I’m an Rn and still working at 65. I’ve been having issues for at least 5 years. It started out with noticing difficulty in doing stairs. I’ve always had strong legs and I couldn’t figure out why this was happening. I was told I have advanced degenerative discs and thought that was causing the problem. Then I started having severe groin pain on the right following a right knee replacement and saw an orthopedic doctor. When I described the severity of the groin pain and how it was affecting my ability to do things he laughed. He never said “ oh yes , that’s related to your hip issue”. He determined that I had arthritis in my hip and sent me to physical therapy. I loved my physical therapist, but honestly I didn’t get any relief. Then I when to a chiropractor that when I asked is it a mechanical issue why I was having all this groin pain he actually told me it was trauma related and not mechanical. Honestly I was very confused between my back issues and knee replacement and leg weakness and groin pain I was discouraged. Then I decided to to do a few exercises that I found on TH-cam on a daily basis and found some relief and also started to notice that the exercises were starting to get easier and I was improving my flexibility and my stiffness and strength were improving and most of all the groin pain was gone. I have since dropped a good amount of weight and eliminated foods that contribute to inflammation. I’m excited to have found you and the information you provide. I’m certain I was all of stage 2 and probably even a 3, but I’m writing this to let others know there is real truth being provided by Dr. David. Just a side note I do have a chiropractor ( not the one who said my pain was related to trauma) that I see probably once a month to keep me adjusted and she is amazing, but I now know it’s the exercises that I do daily that have benefited me absolutely the most.
That groin pain is one of the worst pains I've ever had. I also had a knee replacement ... that had to be revised, after the original surgeon lied to me for 2 years!! It was after the revision that I started having the upper leg muscles pain. I assumed it was from having 2 knee replacements so close together. It's never improved so now I'm assuming it's my hip. I've been told I need a hip replacement now also. And, like you, I have spine issues affecting parts of every section of my spine. My fear is if I get a hip replacement will it screw up my back even worse ANYWAY, do you want to be my best friend and we get thru this together??? 😊😉🙄 Good luck to you and I pray this works for you without surgery!
I have bone on bone hip arthritis and, predictably, I've been offered steroid injections or full hip replacement. I'd prefer neither. My husband found your video which explained how to squeeze the glutes and what happens when you walk. I went around for 2 days doing glute squeezes all day long...while I was sitting at the computer, laying down watching TV, or just walking around. It was amazing how much stronger my hip became and I'm now walking almost without a limp. I can also step sideways without fear of falling. 2 days! I will try the rest of these exercises and hope that they will help me to regain some of the range of motion loss. At the very least they are helping me to walk normally again. Thank you for your thorough videos.
You are giving me hope. Just got the news today that my hip needs to be replaced. It was bone on bone with a spur. I’m going to devote myself to these!
Windshield wipers for 5 min Glute squeeze for 10-20 s x 10, without front or side thigh engagement Clamshells, with top knee past bottom knee. Lift and hold knee up for 10 s x 10 Screwdriver, withrotate knee for 2 minutes
Hi! Raymond from Sudbury Ontario Canada have bone On bone OA both hips shoulders & knees I'm 72 left hip is trochanteric bursitis had ct cortozone injection 3 years ago to the bursa it lasted had a other one done oct, 2023 but it did nothing so have a hip replacement scheduled but about 2 mths ago stubled on Your channel you tube started doing your program every day & I cant thank u enough but a word of advice to your clients u have to stay with it hip , shoulders & knees are doing fine I will do these exercises every day for rest of my life Your a God saver thanks again
Dear Sir, I could not believe strengthening the glutes would improve my walking, which had become quite bad because of bone-on-bone hip arthritis. But I did your exercises anyway, because I had nothing to loose. I did not stop the other leg-exercises I had been prescribed for a sore knee. I just systematically added the glutes-exercises and the windshield wipers. Now, after a few months, I cannot believe I am walking better than before...but I can no longer deny that I do! So thank you very much!! Who knows I may even escape from the hip- operation! I still have 'starter-stiffness', which usually disappears after a few minutes, but that is nothing compared to being barely able to walk!
These exercises worked for me. I couldn't believe it. I've been in severe pain for over a year and moderate pain for years. My leaving the house had become less and less due to severe pain from osteoarthritis in the hips and left knee. So I did these exercises last night. When I woke up the next morning I noticed something strange. There was no pain. I couldn't believe it. I was so used to pain that I literally became shocked that I had no pain. This is the first time that I've experienced no pain in years. I first thank God then I thank Dr. Middaugh for helping people feel normal again.

I couldnt have said it better. Thank you. I couldnt even bring myself to let them put the needle in my back for an injection. Tried twice, had a major panic attack, blood pressure shot up to 170/110. My body was like hell no!!! Im sold on an anti-inflammatory diet, PT like this, losing weight and more excercises and just general increase in moving my body
Wow is right! As a 60 year professional dancer/choreographer/teacher...even with the excellent technique-training .osteoarthritis has set in..mainly in my left hip. Since beginning to feel and (wrongly) favor the pain, I've lost my butt muscle. .You nailed the exact problem I'm having and your exercises make complete sense. IF i can manage your exercises without too much pain, I know I can revive those muscles...and maybe- avoid surgery. Thank you Doc!
You're welcome @oldgypsytap!!! Make sure to gradually work into these exercises so that they're not painful for you. Start with the easiest glute exercises and work into the more challenging ones as long as you don't have more pain.
Hi I m 85 ..slight hip.pain discomfort but Ive always done Gentle hatha yoga poses Asanas every morning plus yoga classes once or twice a week (good socially too) I used to be a Physical Education teacher and always kept moving.While Im not an expert.I swear yoga has kept my joints muscles AND mind in great shape🙏 Just thought I'd share Love from Ausraya🥰🇦🇺
… hello there I love yoga too, but the problem is that most of the exercises or a great many of the exercises in the yoga classes that I go to you focus on hip openers, which I am unable to do because of my hip osteoarthritis
Just started this today July 4. 2023 I have osteoarthritis in left hip a week ago the surgeon said next June I’ll need hip replacement since medications no longer work , I am 58 years old always walked everywhere exercised all my life I’m home now since I had to give up my job at goodwill, I will be incorporating these exercises after my regular workout on my machines I do not want to go under the knife , will keep you posted so glad for people like you to share! Carol!
I have been doing these exercises (and much more) for months now, and my range of motion is almost back to normal. I still have some pain and some groin pinches, but not enough to slow me down appreciably. I still can't figure out what my groin has to do with it. It was the first pain I had, and seems to be the last to go. What gives? Thank you for your continuing help for all of us. Jane
I'm 73 and have no mobility in my hips. I got sent to an orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation due to sudden debilitating pain in my hip last November. He did xrays and a ct scan and said it was arthritis so I needed a total hip replacement. Nobody did anything for the extreme pain. I used ice and ibuprofen on my own because the drs did nothing. They didn't seem to really care. I also used a crutch to help with weight bearing. However I saw your video about the pelvis and hip ball being grinding against each other because of weak muscles. So I have been trying what you say to do and I am having no flares of pain, no burning in the joint, My mobility is still iffy but I'm hoping it will improve over time.
Just tried this yesterday - amazing! This is the first time in 2 years that there is significant relief! Did the shots, rehab, so many other things and am scheduled for a hip replacement in 5 weeks. I'm going to do this 3x/day and am believing to be able to cancel it. So many thanks
Hey, You are welcome! This is wonderful to hear that you are feeling some relief! Please feel free to check out the attached playlist if you would like some additional information. “Hip Replacement Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mbtxiBV-dKJseYEifBGANyT.html
Unbelievable! I feel a definite relief from these exercises after just a few days.l have had 5 years of Debilitating pain from arthritis, so will now hopefully be able to find real improvement over the next weeks and months.Thank you .
You are so welcome Heather! We are so glad you were able to notice such a difference in such a short period of time! Thank you for checking in and letting us know!
Hi Fit, We are thrilled to hear that these techniques were able to help you! We are so sorry to hear that you dealing with the aftermath of a very bad accident and we hope you can recover soon. Please take care!
2019 I was offered hip surgery but declined in favor of exercising and diet changes. I've definitely improved. I DO BELIEVE I CAN AVOID HIP SURGERY. THANKS!
May I ask what diet changes you made? I heard that people with OA should avoid sugars and bad fats and eat foods that don’t cause inflammation like leafy greens, oily fish, nuts, berries etc. would welcome your advice.
Thank you so much, after seeing my hip x rays 10 years ago and seeing spikes and bone on bone and lumbar pain on walking... I dont want surgery.. You have changed my physical condition within a week of finding your videos... I can locate my abdomen muscles and glutes and will keep at it because its taking the pain away 🙏 🙏🙏🙏
Dr. Middaugh, My hubby Bill, had a titanium hip replacement (right hip) we went to Colorado to have our surgeries his surgery took 50 minutes, Dr. Kindsfater said he was a tough case & should have had the surgery done 2 years earlier he had to lengthen his leg as well. He also has had 3 knee surgeries, so he has huge scars where they did his surgeries. He hass knee pain too, I've been having knee pain as well. His surgery was done first as I had to apply the TED hose every morning for 2 weeks. The last day my pain in my one wrist was so bad I looked at him & told him I couldn't do it I was crying. The following day I went to my surgeon for counseling & that's when my surgeon noticed I had a nerve ganglion on my other wrist (I had double wrist surgeries- nerve ganglions in both & done on the same day) I'm 66 years young. Bill's now having trouble with his left hip, & YT sent me your video on bone on bone hip pain video and I told Bill about the clam exercise & we watched this video next. He was doing the wrong exercises & we watched this video together & now he knows what exercises to do & what ones to avoid. Bill's 82 years young, but his left hip has been popping like popped corn & has me concerned. Thank you, you have a paired subscription 👍🥰❣ We live on a sailboat, so there's constant motion. We only notice the motion when it's gusty & during tidal changes. Once we get an exercise routein for Bill, I'll look to see if you have some exercises I can do for the pain in my wrists. I have a difficult time with lateral loads & it's something I'm unable to stop as I do all the cooking (fresh- no microwave on board by choice) hand wash dishes & hand wash clothes sometimes & hang them out to dry. Thank you do much for sharing your knowledge with us. Much more appreciated than you could possibly know. 🤗 🙆♀️ & 🙆♂️❣
I’m 24 years old with OA. I’ve been doing triathlons but realized a hip surgery I had at 2 yrs old is why I now have OA. Been struggling with simply walking at work & it gets tiring telling everyone I have arthritis at such a young age. Going to give these exercises a try! Hope I’m not too late since a specialist said I’m still too young for hip replacement surgery…
Hey Vanesa, We are so sorry to hear about your hip OA. We are so happy that you hear doing something about it! 😃The most common weakness that leads to hip OA is in the glutes. In case you need it here is a our playlist of all our hip arthritis videos: “Hip Arthritis Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mbICbP6qlXUZwMyAJlKD1dt.html
Wow, I'm just flabbergasted that no one has shared any of this , and I have been in therapy three times, and now scheduled to see the surgeon. I think you are dead on about the glutes, I'm starting these tonight and will do 5xday, along with fluids and supplements. Awesome !
I just paused your video to perform the windshield wiper exercise and realized my inner thigh muscles are extremely weak. This exercise will definitely be incorporated into my daily routine. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Hey, We have a playlist you might find helpful that we will link for your here. Please, keep us updated on how you are feeling =D “Hip Replacement Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mbtxiBV-dKJseYEifBGANyT.html
Thank you so much for these videos! I had both knees replaced this year, only 61 years old. Newly diagnosed bone spurs on both hips. I know I have very strong quad, but have lost a lot of butt muscle over last few years due to surgery and leg fractures. This gives me hope that I won’t need new hips down the road!
I still do the exercises you recomended for the menisque, in particular the dangling exercises, i will start thiose ones for hip arthritis , though i am not so desperate.I wish to thank you .
Wow! Just discovered your videos. My PT didn’t come close to the info in this intro. Thank you so much for creating these videos. I was ready to throw in the towel and have surgery. I am now inspired to try your program.
Hey, We are happy you found us and that you decided to not give up! Here is a link to view our current program options. We do not have a program specifically targeting the hip area as of yet but it is something we will be discussing in the future.

Thank you. I’m going to follow your advice. It is wonderful you are into preventative medicine instead of getting rich off surgeries and drugs. I ask God to bless you 1000 times over for your healing us naturally. So grateful to you!
I love you! Such simple advice that hit the nail on the head for someone that’s been restricted by hip issues for nearly 8 years… I was given the clamshell and various leg lifting exercises after an arthroscopy operation, and I couldn’t understand why I never did them! I was cross with myself, as I knew the importance, Your breakdown and simplification of these exercises revealed to me. They were simply too hard to do straight off the bat - the warmup exercises and the simplification of the clam and the detailed instruction has been absolutely brilliant. A real game changer, I’m so grateful to you! I know this is going to help me… I cannot understand why the UK NHS, and all the physios that I met afterwards to help me rehabilitate, did not give me the same advice - less is more - Thank you so much keep up the good work🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✋👊👏
I discovered you after a frustrating visit to my PCP. I've been in PT for my left shoulder and thigh for many weeks. The left hip has gotten worse, and the right has joined the party. My PT recommended nearly all of the exercises from your other video (the ones NOT to do), so I will try these and hopefully get some relief.
Here I am again and so excited for finding you .I have been to drs and therapist for years .your video has helped more than all these .God bless you THanks!
Hey Patricia, you are very welcome! We are glad this was able to help! Below will be our hip arthritis help playlist for you: “Hip Arthritis Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mbICbP6qlXUZwMyAJlKD1dt.html We hope this helps! Please keep us posted on your progress 🧡
My right hip has started hurting me in bed when lying on it and right butt pains when sitting too long. Thanks Dr D, I'll be implementing all those exercises. So glad ive found u, uv already helped me a ton with my knees and shoulders. My butt muscles are going to be like bullets !
I've been doing glute squeezes randomly throughout the day. Concentrating on glutes only. This is helping too. 10 second squeezes. While driving, standing, watching tv. I think this is helping also.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy First of all, thank you so much for your wonderful content. I’ve been watching your videos about hip arthritis for a while. I’m 41, not suffering for arthritis but by a synovitis caused by a contrast injected in the hip joint for doing a magnetic resonance 2 months ago. Before that I was ok, just with some pain after running but with no other problems in my day to day. Now I can’t walk more than 5 min without pain during or after, can’t ride a bycicle, driving, being sit in a chair for more than 15 min etc and doctors doesn’t seem to have the key to help me improve. My question is if this artritis exercises are also recommended for my problem, if you can give me some advice about any other ones and if you have heard about any case like mine and how to treat it (I’ve been told isn’t very common). Thank you so much in advance and excuse my english (I’m from Spain). Looking forward to hearing from you soon, and happy new year!!!
I have knee arthritis, torn meniscus and hip arthritis :o Your knee exercises have helped with my knee and I didn't need to get surgery for the meniscus. Thank you so much! I just started working on the hip exercises. I will incorporate these daily until I can walk without pain. Do you have other exercises for after this one? I see all of your hip videos but not sure what I should implement next. I wish I lived near your facility so I could come see you.
So glad I found you one of these exercises you said not to do is what my physical therapist was having me do I complained, but she didn’t listen made things worse, so thank you so very much. I’m going to continue to watch you.
EXCELLENT explanation of these exercises! Thank you so much. Better than other videos I've seen on these movements. Thanks for getting into the details of these.

Thank you so much Dr. David! Love the way you explain in detail with much thought and heart so your audience understand the benefit of each exercise. Bless you 🙌
@@epmanualphysicaltherapyHi, I am Bagyalakshmi from Chennai,India. I am ha ing Knee Osteo Arthritis from July 2021 when I was in U.S. I am watching.many videos of yours and following.i it is very good thinking to put the captions what you are saying. But in this exercise I am not able to see your action since the captions are hiding your exercises while lying down. You can put that little above so that we can see your exercise without interruption. Sorry if I have said anything wrong. Really it is very useful in watching and doing the exercise. God bless you. And as for as I know you are the only one person who reply to everyone's comment. All the best
This is helpful, because i have been given the clamshell exercise many times over the past 10 years. I was doing them wrong, recruiting every muscle except the glutes. Finally, after watching this video, i started doing them correctly. I am not able to avoid surgery though, because my hips are still painful even with activated glutes. I can barely lift my leg becuase it is so locked and impinged. Having surgery next week, but glad to know i am going into it with strong glute muscles.
Thank you 😊 exactly what I figured muscle imbalances; I postponed surgery for now; look forward to learning more! I was doing mat Pilates with bands in my own to strengthen my quads… over did it! Plus standing poses on yoga one legged. Anyway this 70 year old is very hopeful now!
I lost feeling in my leg altogether to begin with. Then, once the feeling came bck several days later; the pain was abnormal. My brain now doesn't associate with movement spontaneously. Crazy pain tht bone on bone. Now i wake up suffocating..sleep apnea. Think I've had so much trauma, I'm shutting off from life altogether.. double vision the lot!! Great to listen to you dear. NHS UK leaves a lot to be desired!!
Thank you Dr. David, you have no idea how some of your videos helped me heal slowly, but gradually for the last two months. I started having pain in my right hip joint in the upper front part of the flexor area, a situation has reached where I am limping when walking and cannot walk more than 100 meters. An x-ray showed that I have cartilage erosion in both joints but mainly in the painful right joint. I followed your TH-cam channel and did some of your exercise for hip joints, Now two months later the joint pain is slowly starting to disappear, and so is the limp! Thank you
thank you for the preventive health videos.. I'm just now starting to notice a tightening of upper leg muscles on my leftside.. I feel it when I try to walk any distance for exercise. I'm trying to get back into shape for a trip to the mountains.. I used to climb quite a bit. It's seems like in the last year or so I've lost stamina.. especially after getting the Moderna vaccine.. but I've also just turned 65 so possibly a combination.
If I stretch when lying down when I'm in pain, I sound like the terminator...cracking right through till I can't stretch anymore... sometimes I lock and can't move without pain...will try your Dr....
❤ thank you for taking adequate time explaining what and where I should feel the "burn"! I've been doing these exercises from a physical therapist I saw and now realize that I was not doing them correctly! ❤ I am grateful for the relief... FINALLY!❤
I just found your videos yesterday and have tried the exercises. Thank you for explaining in such detail how the hips work. I've been dealing with bone on bone, and it's pretty painful. I want to be able to walk and dance like I used to. These exercises will really help. Thank you so much! ❤
Hey Mala, it breaks our heart to heat that you have dealing with bone on bone hip arthritis! 🥺 It is such a frustrating and painful experience.

Hey Randombear, That is so awesome to hear! 🎉 You are very welcome. We are thrilled to see how quickly these worked for you. Just in case you're interested, we have a playlist for hip arthritis help. You can access it here: “Hip Arthritis Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mbICbP6qlXUZwMyAJlKD1dt.html Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not. We hope you found this information helpful. Have a lovely weekend! 🧡
I would agree with all of these exercises and had been doing them for months with physiotherapist, however I found out I had a labral tear and the clam exercise made it worse. I should’ve known because it was painful to do. But the lying down and tightening your glutes is a good exercise cause you could do it before you get out of bed and when you go to bed. Thank you.
Just watched, thanks for posting. Doc told me couple of yrs ago I had OA both hips with right being worst (I’m 67). Oddly last couple of weeks my left has been really bothering me but seems to now be subsiding. Will give your recommendations a try and see how things go. 🤞
Thank you very much for making and sharing this video, especcially the 'clam' excercise: shifting the knee over under knee and tipping the toes underfoot make the difference🙏🏼

One question… in the last exercise are you kneeing on both knees or one? I can’t quite tell. I’ve tried the exercise both ways and wanted to make sure that I didn’t hurt myself. You are a blessing!
Hey nnicolerae! You are very welcome! That is great to hear! So glad that this was able to help! Keep up the great work 🙌🏽 Below is our entire Hip Arthritis Help playlist for you: “Hip Arthritis Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mbICbP6qlXUZwMyAJlKD1dt.html Please keep us posted on your progress!
I’m getting muscle cramps in my hips from doing the clamshells. I’m going to persevere and hopefully get stronger hip and glute, and hip pain relief. Thank you for the helpful exercises!!!
Hey A H! We are so sorry that you are having to deal with bone on bone hip arthritis! While this our the top 4 exercises that we do recommend, we do not recommend working through any pain pr discomfort. Start with one or two exercises (find the one or two that do not hurt you), beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not. Below is going to be our entire playlist for you: “Hip Arthritis Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mbICbP6qlXUZwMyAJlKD1dt.html We hope this is helpful! Please keep us updated on your progress! 🙌🏽 🙌🏽 🙌🏽
Hi, I have been doing your exercises for hip arthritis. They are working for me. I have had excruciating pains for years and tried every exercise on youtube. Thank you. I wonder if you have suggestions to correct a tilted pelvis, lateral or anterior? I feel my pelvis is not in the right place.
Hi Marlene, We are so glad to hear you have been doing our exercises for hip arthritis and that you have seen a difference! 🎉 The exercises in this video can help ease pain from your tilted pelvis but to correct it is a bit more complex. It would require manual physical therapy. n the US, you can find a physical therapist trained similarly to Dr. David at this website: aaompt.org/Main/Public_Resources/Find-A-Fellow/Main/Member_Resources/Find-A-Fellow.aspx?hkey=108c9a56-f793-45e4-b3ed-cefe5d871a94 You could also do a Virtual Consultation with Dr. David so you can speak to him one on one about the details of your situation.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you for your suggestions and prompt answer. I have been to many physical therapists for this. Nothing was satisfactory, only lasted for a while. I will continue with certain PRI techniques that seem to be working, but nothing is quick enough. Thanks again for your exercises. They make me stronger for sure.
Hello from 🇮🇪 ireland. Really well explained....thank you...i have just started to get pain a week ago as i changed my car ...and my seat is a bucket seat...didn't know what a bad choice i made but getting them charged. I have not been fir any assessments with medics as yet. Can you advise if you can get back pain with an arthritic hip.
Hey Jacqueline, Thank you for your feedback! We are so sorry to hear that you've been dealing with hip arthritis, we are glad you're looking to get the seats changed in your car as they seem to be aggravating your pain.

We encourage you to get an assessment somewhere near you but if you want to work with us we suggest a virtual consultation. By opting for a Virtual Consultation, you'll have the opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation with our doctors, where they can delve into the details of your condition and provide you with tailored guidance and coaching.

I so appreciate the details you demonstrate on how to isolate the specific glut muscle for the most effective results. For someone like me who has developed patterns of unconscious movement (ADD), it makes ALL the difference. I hear so many people complain that “physical therapy” didn’t help. If you belong to an HMO, people are thrown into “group” physical therapy or just given handouts. I consider such “classes” a total waste of my time. Besides, we’re all different. Thank you, so, so, much.

You are an excellent specialist and it was your recommendations that helped me to calm my sciatic nerve. I really like how energetically you try to instill hope, convince not to give up and I especially liked how you said that in relation to recovery we need to become obsessed!!! However, I would like to make a small recommendation and I hope it will be useful. You talk too much while demonstrating the exercises. Sometimes even you just start doing the exercise and immediately stop to add your explanations again and again. This is completely understandable, because any man is so arranged that he cannot fully speak and do at the same time, something will suffer. Therefore, you stop to finish the explanation. Well, a person listening to you with hope also cannot listen and do with the same dedication, especially since sometimes it is impossible to understand when the exercise actually begins and when it ends, because you talk all the time. Your listener should be able to do the exercise together with you , it is only reliable way , to put it off until later - it does not work. You should demonstrate the exercises continuously, measurably, slowly from the beginning to the end and speak during the demonstration minimally only to give commands. This will give patients the opportunity to follow you. If you need to explain again, then take time between exercises. Thank you for reading.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME HOPE. Scheduled for left hip replacement consultation with Surgeon in Dec.2023. I’m bone on bone with barely any cartilage left and in a lot of pain. I am starting these exercises today. Hope NOT to have the surgery. Again THANK YOU!
Hey Dannus! We are thrilled to hear that we have given you hope and we want to encourage you to not give up and exhaust all options before truly considering surgery! If you do well at properly applying our suggestions and treatment strategies then you will likely experience some improvement, it's important to exercise patience and set realistic expectations as you know the recovery process may take longer than expected. Here is the whole playlist on Hip Arthritis for you: “Hip Arthritis Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mbICbP6qlXUZwMyAJlKD1dt.html We hope to hear from you soon! 🙌
I am hoping this will help. I had sudden onset hip/groin pain about 10 weeks ago. The pain is not going away despite physiotherapy, steroids and anti-inflammatory. The pain gets better with rest, but gets worse and weaker with walking. No one knows what's going on and they won't do mri imaging so I'm trying anything I can.
I'm so glad i found your channel. I was diagnosed with hip (left) bursitis and osteoarthritis. I also have weak meniscus joints (not sure if that's the right term), more on my left knee. My kneecaps will slide out of place if i take a wrong step or hit the side of my kneecap; that has held me back or fearful of strenuous exercises. I just watched the video on what exercises to avoid and now this video on what exercises you recommend. I'm starting today! Perhaps you have a video to help with my meniscus? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and i wish you continued success. I'll definitely be sharing your videos with family and friends.
I have bone on bone x ray on my right hip. Also I have sciatica that goes to the top of my right foot sometimes. It wakes me up during the night. I was doing the 1st two exercises only once or twice a day, but my hip is worse. Starting today, I will do the 3 up to 5x to see if I can rebuild the cartilage and avoid surgery. I am doing your sciatic exercises also. Thank you.

I am a 78 year old female with osteoarthritis. I discovered your channel and these exercises several months ago after being told to see an orthopedic surgeon for bone on bone hip arthritis. Following these exercises has enabled me to avoid shots and surgery. I can now sleep on my hip, walk stairs again, and line dance without feeling any pain. Thank you Dr. David. I am truly grateful.
@ Joywanless Im a 68 yr old female. I’ve been diagnosed with left hip osteoarthritis bone on bone. It has been very painful for me to move and on December 18, 2023,. I go for a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon for a hip replacement. I truly do not want to do this. I am starting these exercises gently because I suffer a lot of pain on that area. I am encouraged by what you state here and hope to soon post my gratitude on this site for getting stronger on that hip regenerating Cartlidge on that hip as well as avoiding a hip replacement. Thank you so much for your posting. I am encouraged.
@@dannusmk1578 his exercises have made a tremendous difference in my hip problem. There's a lot to be said for strengthening the glute-muscles to get the hip bone to sit correctly (and no longer endure sharp searing pain!)
I truly hope you are able to find relief through strength-training and are able to avoid surgery! 🙏🏼😇❤️🔥
Hi I am a line dancer and have been told to stop dancing. Hoping to get back soon as you know how we just love it
omg, i am you, you are me! ha ha lol. I'm 77 on Jan 30 2024. So happy to have found this guy!
Im 52 years old and starting these. The pain is intense and I can admit that my butt muscles are very weak. Tight hamstrings and tight quads. Looking forward to seeing improvement.
I did 2 sets of exercises on day 1 and I could feel my hip loosen up! I am amazed. After a year and a half of hip pain EVERYDAY, and after going to 2 different physical therapists for 2 months each, I have relief in 2 days!? I wonder why they did not show me these exercises… the windshield wiper exercise is very effective for me. Thank you, thank you, Thank you!!!! I am in between phase 2 and phase 3 from your other video, and I have been determined to avoid surgery if I can. Thank you for all your videos. You have saved me! :)
Try spin classes to tighten up your glutes. I am where you are doing the windshield washer exercises and glute holds. We can beat this and get our lives back.
Me too day 2 and today I fotmup and walked better didnt shuffle and got up from the table without pushing up. Did the shaking legs (another of his videos) and butt squeezes.
Im 28 yrs The windshield hurts me Any Idea why,does it Hurt at beggining of doing it
ok mate pay attention, this may help someone. After a year and an MRI am sure I have "mild" arthritis in one hip. Caused by standing on one leg and lifting and dropping heel of other leg on a trolley throttle every ten seconds all day. My guess, weakened the glute, strengthened quads and pull it out of align. Your vid taught this.. first time i discovered this in a year of solid hip research. Can walk ...2k before it gets nasty. Front quads were having mind numbing pain on standing, solved by stretching these with foot to glutes and pull foot up,, relaxed quads and immense pain stopped. Still got immense hip pain when standing from sitting,, took a few mins to wriggle foot and hip to take any weight. Started your Glutes exercizes... took one day to improve, madly exercizing them now. ALSO.. the terrible pain on raising from sitting in hip is controlled if I contract glutes hard, ...???? the hip must "slip out" of alignment on sitting and then have to realign on standing, criminal pain. with contracting glutes this seems to pull hip back "in" .. anyhow, will continue and will inform of improvements. Madly eating good oils and fish, and fasting 16 hrs, plus curcumin, glucosamine and chondroiten. OK hope this helps you or someone with such searing quad or hip pain, as pain is enough to see stars. Many thanks, your work seems good as I have become a bit of an expert on all things arthritis and hip leg muscle stretches, strength and alignment. Yours worked literally in a few days.. more power and much love.

How’s things going? I think I’ve got osteoarthritis of the right hip. Been a runner all my life and now I think I’m paying the price. Do you, or did you have trouble sleeping with the pain? Good luck wherever you may be out there my friend.
Thank you for sharing this! I'm 46 y/o and have hip arthritis on my left side. I don't want it to get worse.
Finally, a qualified individual providing sensible and rational potentially helpful alternatives to straight-up surgery. Thank you, Doc.
Thank you Dr. David. I’m an Rn and still working at 65. I’ve been having issues for at least 5 years. It started out with noticing difficulty in doing stairs. I’ve always had strong legs and I couldn’t figure out why this was happening. I was told I have advanced degenerative discs and thought that was causing the problem. Then I started having severe groin pain on the right following a right knee replacement and saw an orthopedic doctor. When I described the severity of the groin pain and how it was affecting my ability to do things he laughed. He never said “ oh yes , that’s related to your hip issue”. He determined that I had arthritis in my hip and sent me to physical therapy. I loved my physical therapist, but honestly I didn’t get any relief. Then I when to a chiropractor that when I asked is it a mechanical issue why I was having all this groin pain he actually told me it was trauma related and not mechanical. Honestly I was very confused between my back issues and knee replacement and leg weakness and groin pain I was discouraged. Then I decided to to do a few exercises that I found on TH-cam on a daily basis and found some relief and also started to notice that the exercises were starting to get easier and I was improving my flexibility and my stiffness and strength were improving and most of all the groin pain was gone. I have since dropped a good amount of weight and eliminated foods that contribute to inflammation. I’m excited to have found you and the information you provide. I’m certain I was all of stage 2 and probably even a 3, but I’m writing this to let others know there is real truth being provided by Dr. David. Just a side note I do have a chiropractor ( not the one who said my pain was related to trauma) that I see probably once a month to keep me adjusted and she is amazing, but I now know it’s the exercises that I do daily that have benefited me absolutely the most.
That groin pain is one of the worst pains I've ever had.
I also had a knee replacement ... that had to be revised, after the original surgeon lied to me for 2 years!! It was after the revision that I started having the upper leg muscles pain. I assumed it was from having 2 knee replacements so close together. It's never improved so now I'm assuming it's my hip. I've been told I need a hip replacement now also. And, like you, I have spine issues affecting parts of every section of my spine. My fear is if I get a hip replacement will it screw up my back even worse
ANYWAY, do you want to be my best friend and we get thru this together???
😊😉🙄
Good luck to you and I pray this works for you without surgery!
Sometimes trauma and drama can also cause pain. You should not ignore that.
@@Jojorocks23 what do you mean?? And not sure if you were talking to me or not.
@@sscott5367 chatting to Susan about her chirp’s suggestion as to pain and stress, trams can be a part of a pain cycle.
I have bone on bone hip arthritis and, predictably, I've been offered steroid injections or full hip replacement. I'd prefer neither. My husband found your video which explained how to squeeze the glutes and what happens when you walk. I went around for 2 days doing glute squeezes all day long...while I was sitting at the computer, laying down watching TV, or just walking around. It was amazing how much stronger my hip became and I'm now walking almost without a limp. I can also step sideways without fear of falling. 2 days! I will try the rest of these exercises and hope that they will help me to regain some of the range of motion loss. At the very least they are helping me to walk normally again. Thank you for your thorough videos.
You are giving me hope. Just got the news today that my hip needs to be replaced. It was bone on bone with a spur. I’m going to devote myself to these!
HI if you have hip replacement already is now 5yrs and is paining what to do it's mean I must do it again
Windshield wipers for 5 min
Glute squeeze for 10-20 s x 10, without front or side thigh engagement
Clamshells, with top knee past bottom knee. Lift and hold knee up for 10 s x 10
Screwdriver, withrotate knee for 2 minutes
Hi! Raymond from Sudbury Ontario Canada have bone On bone OA both hips shoulders & knees I'm 72 left hip is trochanteric bursitis had ct cortozone injection 3 years ago to the bursa it lasted had a other one done oct, 2023 but it did nothing so have a hip replacement scheduled but about 2 mths ago stubled on Your channel you tube started doing your program every day & I cant thank u enough but a word of advice to your clients u have to stay with it hip , shoulders & knees are doing fine I will do these exercises every day for rest of my life Your a God saver thanks again
Dear Sir, I could not believe strengthening the glutes would improve my walking, which had become quite bad because of bone-on-bone hip arthritis. But I did your exercises anyway, because I had nothing to loose. I did not stop the other leg-exercises I had been prescribed for a sore knee. I just systematically added the glutes-exercises and the windshield wipers. Now, after a few months, I cannot believe I am walking better than before...but I can no longer deny that I do! So thank you very much!! Who knows I may even escape from the hip- operation! I still have 'starter-stiffness', which usually disappears after a few minutes, but that is nothing compared to being barely able to walk!
These exercises worked for me. I couldn't believe it. I've been in severe pain for over a year and moderate pain for years. My leaving the house had become less and less due to severe pain from osteoarthritis in the hips and left knee. So I did these exercises last night. When I woke up the next morning I noticed something strange. There was no pain. I couldn't believe it. I was so used to pain that I literally became shocked that I had no pain. This is the first time that I've experienced no pain in years. I first thank God then I thank Dr. Middaugh for helping people feel normal again.

I have been doing your hip exercises and now I walk with much ease and without pain. Thank you so much.Manola B
Hey Manola, that's great! We are so glad we were able to help you walk better and without pain! Thank you for the comment!
Thank you sooooo much. For real man. I DO NOT want to be gassed, cut open and sawed apart by strangers.
Hey Elaine! You're very welcome! We put out the information but it's up to you to put in the good work in recovering without surgery! Keep it up! 😊
I couldnt have said it better. Thank you. I couldnt even bring myself to let them put the needle in my back for an injection. Tried twice, had a major panic attack, blood pressure shot up to 170/110. My body was like hell no!!! Im sold on an anti-inflammatory diet, PT like this, losing weight and more excercises and just general increase in moving my body
Amazingly helpful. I did these along with the video, pausing along the way and my hip already feels better. Highly recommend! Thank you!
Wow is right! As a 60 year professional dancer/choreographer/teacher...even with the excellent technique-training .osteoarthritis has set in..mainly in my left hip. Since beginning to feel and (wrongly) favor the pain, I've lost my butt muscle. .You nailed the exact problem I'm having and your exercises make complete sense. IF i can manage your exercises without too much pain, I know I can revive those muscles...and maybe- avoid surgery. Thank you Doc!
You're welcome @oldgypsytap!!! Make sure to gradually work into these exercises so that they're not painful for you. Start with the easiest glute exercises and work into the more challenging ones as long as you don't have more pain.

Carol!
Your insight is FANTASTIC.
BETTER THEN ANY DOCTORS THAT I MET.
I have been doing these exercises (and much more) for months now, and my range of motion is almost back to normal. I still have some pain and some groin pinches, but not enough to slow me down appreciably. I still can't figure out what my groin has to do with it. It was the first pain I had, and seems to be the last to go. What gives? Thank you for your continuing help for all of us. Jane
I like how well you demonstrate these exercises. That makes it very easy to follow. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Hi A Om, you're welcome! Thank you so much for the kind words. They mean a lot to us! 😃
I'm 73 and have no mobility in my hips. I got sent to an orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation due to sudden debilitating pain in my hip last November. He did xrays and a ct scan and said it was arthritis so I needed a total hip replacement. Nobody did anything for the extreme pain. I used ice and ibuprofen on my own because the drs did nothing. They didn't seem to really care. I also used a crutch to help with weight bearing. However I saw your video about the pelvis and hip ball being grinding against each other because of weak muscles. So I have been trying what you say to do and I am having no flares of pain, no burning in the joint, My mobility is still iffy but I'm hoping it will improve over time.
Just tried this yesterday - amazing! This is the first time in 2 years that there is significant relief! Did the shots, rehab, so many other things and am scheduled for a hip replacement in 5 weeks. I'm going to do this 3x/day and am believing to be able to cancel it. So many thanks

May I ask what diet changes you made? I heard that people with OA should avoid sugars and bad fats and eat foods that don’t cause inflammation like leafy greens, oily fish, nuts, berries etc. would welcome your advice.
Thank you so much, after seeing my hip x rays 10 years ago and seeing spikes and bone on bone and lumbar pain on walking... I dont want surgery..

Me to I am eternally grateful to this Dr and my pain is getting better every day
Dr. Middaugh,
My hubby Bill, had a titanium hip replacement (right hip) we went to Colorado to have our surgeries his surgery took 50 minutes, Dr. Kindsfater said he was a tough case & should have had the surgery done 2 years earlier he had to lengthen his leg as well. He also has had 3 knee surgeries, so he has huge scars where they did his surgeries. He hass knee pain too, I've been having knee pain as well.
His surgery was done first as I had to apply the TED hose every morning for 2 weeks. The last day my pain in my one wrist was so bad I looked at him & told him I couldn't do it I was crying.
The following day I went to my surgeon for counseling & that's when my surgeon noticed I had a nerve ganglion on my other wrist (I had double wrist surgeries- nerve ganglions in both & done on the same day) I'm 66 years young.
Bill's now having trouble with his left hip, & YT sent me your video on bone on bone hip pain video and I told Bill about the clam exercise & we watched this video next. He was doing the wrong exercises & we watched this video together & now he knows what exercises to do & what ones to avoid. Bill's 82 years young, but his left hip has been popping like popped corn & has me concerned.
Thank you, you have a paired subscription 👍🥰❣
We live on a sailboat, so there's constant motion. We only notice the motion when it's gusty & during tidal changes.
Once we get an exercise routein for Bill, I'll look to see if you have some exercises I can do for the pain in my wrists. I have a difficult time with lateral loads & it's something I'm unable to stop as I do all the cooking (fresh- no microwave on board by choice) hand wash dishes & hand wash clothes sometimes & hang them out to dry.
Thank you do much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Much more appreciated than you could possibly know.
🤗 🙆♀️ & 🙆♂️❣
Thank you so much for explaining this. I feel my pain already starting to go away.
Wohooo!! We are so happy to hear your pain is starting to go away! Keep on doing your exercises, they'll pay off! 🙌🏼
I’m 24 years old with OA. I’ve been doing triathlons but realized a hip surgery I had at 2 yrs old is why I now have OA. Been struggling with simply walking at work & it gets tiring telling everyone I have arthritis at such a young age. Going to give these exercises a try! Hope I’m not too late since a specialist said I’m still too young for hip replacement surgery…
Hey Vanesa, We are so sorry to hear about your hip OA. We are so happy that you hear doing something about it! 😃The most common weakness that leads to hip OA is in the glutes. In case you need it here is a our playlist of all our hip arthritis videos:

I still do the exercises you recomended for the menisque, in particular the dangling exercises, i will start thiose ones for hip arthritis , though i am not so desperate.I wish to thank you .
Wow! Just discovered your videos. My PT didn’t come close to the info in this intro. Thank you so much for creating these videos. I was ready to throw in the towel and have surgery. I am now inspired to try your program.
Hey, We are happy you found us and that you decided to not give up! Here is a link to view our current program options. We do not have a program specifically targeting the hip area as of yet but it is something we will be discussing in the future. If you are interested in additional education please see the playlist we have attached for you. Thank you so much for your support! Please keep us posted on your progress! 😃

Thank you. I’m going to follow your advice. It is wonderful you are into preventative medicine instead of getting rich off surgeries and drugs. I ask God to bless you 1000 times over for your healing us naturally. So grateful to you!
I love you! Such simple advice that hit the nail on the head for someone that’s been restricted by hip issues for nearly 8 years… I was given the clamshell and various leg lifting exercises after an arthroscopy operation, and I couldn’t understand why I never did them! I was cross with myself, as I knew the importance, Your breakdown and simplification of these exercises revealed to me. They were simply too hard to do straight off the bat - the warmup exercises and the simplification of the clam and the detailed instruction has been absolutely brilliant. A real game changer, I’m so grateful to you! I know this is going to help me… I cannot understand why the UK NHS, and all the physios that I met afterwards to help me rehabilitate, did not give me the same advice - less is more - Thank you so much keep up the good work🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✋👊👏
And working the glutes/butt muscles as you said is working, positive results in 1-month.

I discovered you after a frustrating visit to my PCP. I've been in PT for my left shoulder and thigh for many weeks. The left hip has gotten worse, and the right has joined the party. My PT recommended nearly all of the exercises from your other video (the ones NOT to do), so I will try these and hopefully get some relief.
Here I am again and so excited for finding you .I have been to drs and therapist for years .your video has helped more than all these .God bless you THanks!
Dr David, thank you from down under. Most of your tips are new to me even though I attend an osteopath regularly.
Thank you. You demonstrations are excellent and very helpful indeed.
Hey Patricia, you are very welcome! We are glad this was able to help!

My right hip has started hurting me in bed when lying on it and right butt pains when sitting too long. Thanks Dr D, I'll be implementing all those exercises. So glad ive found u, uv already helped me a ton with my knees and shoulders. My butt muscles are going to be like bullets !
Yes my right hip started exactly the same 😢
❤️
Wow this gave me relief immediately thank you 😊
I've been doing glute squeezes randomly throughout the day. Concentrating on glutes only. This is helping too. 10 second squeezes. While driving, standing, watching tv. I think this is helping also.
Hey, we are glad to hear that it is helping!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you for helping us.❤🙏🏽
Thank you, doctor. I have the same issues, and I do not like surgery. You're a god send.🎉 God bless.
Hey LALA 👋! We are thrilled to hear that you aren't a fan of surgery because neither are we! We are strong advocates on taking alternative measures in order to avoid unnecessary surgery, injections, or having to rely on pain medications. We are flattered by your kind words!

We are wishing you the best on your road to recovery! 🙌
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy First of all, thank you so much for your wonderful content. I’ve been watching your videos about hip arthritis for a while. I’m 41, not suffering for arthritis but by a synovitis caused by a contrast injected in the hip joint for doing a magnetic resonance 2 months ago. Before that I was ok, just with some pain after running but with no other problems in my day to day. Now I can’t walk more than 5 min without pain during or after, can’t ride a bycicle, driving, being sit in a chair for more than 15 min etc and doctors doesn’t seem to have the key to help me improve. My question is if this artritis exercises are also recommended for my problem, if you can give me some advice about any other ones and if you have heard about any case like mine and how to treat it (I’ve been told isn’t very common). Thank you so much in advance and excuse my english (I’m from Spain). Looking forward to hearing from you soon, and happy new year!!!
God Bless you!! I feel better already🙏🏻♥️
I have knee arthritis, torn meniscus and hip arthritis :o Your knee exercises have helped with my knee and I didn't need to get surgery for the meniscus. Thank you so much! I just started working on the hip exercises. I will incorporate these daily until I can walk without pain. Do you have other exercises for after this one? I see all of your hip videos but not sure what I should implement next. I wish I lived near your facility so I could come see you.
So glad I found you one of these exercises you said not to do is what my physical therapist was having me do I complained, but she didn’t listen made things worse, so thank you so very much. I’m going to continue to watch you.
EXCELLENT explanation of these exercises! Thank you so much. Better than other videos I've seen on these movements. Thanks for getting into the details of these.
Hi Kimcup, you're welcome. 🧡Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that this information was easy to understand and we hope that it offers you the help you need. We do have a hip arthritis help playlist you might find helpful. You can access it here: “Hip Arthritis Help”

You’re welcome Eugenia!! We’re happy to help everyone. We appreciate your comments! Please keep them coming!!!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapyHi, I am Bagyalakshmi from Chennai,India. I am ha ing Knee Osteo Arthritis from July 2021 when I was in U.S. I am watching.many videos of yours and following.i it is very good thinking to put the captions what you are saying. But in this exercise I am not able to see your action since the captions are hiding your exercises while lying down. You can put that little above so that we can see your exercise without interruption. Sorry if I have said anything wrong. Really it is very useful in watching and doing the exercise. God bless you. And as for as I know you are the only one person who reply to everyone's comment. All the best
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you. I am doing the exercise for glut muscles.
While doing exercises on hip my knee bone on bone is keeping me back. I won't give up.
This is helpful, because i have been given the clamshell exercise many times over the past 10 years. I was doing them wrong, recruiting every muscle except the glutes. Finally, after watching this video, i started doing them correctly. I am not able to avoid surgery though, because my hips are still painful even with activated glutes. I can barely lift my leg becuase it is so locked and impinged. Having surgery next week, but glad to know i am going into it with strong glute muscles.
Thank you 😊 exactly what I figured muscle imbalances; I postponed surgery for now; look forward to learning more! I was doing mat Pilates with bands in my own to strengthen my quads… over did it! Plus standing poses on yoga one legged. Anyway this 70 year old is very hopeful now!
I lost feeling in my leg altogether to begin with. Then, once the feeling came bck several days later; the pain was abnormal. My brain now doesn't associate with movement spontaneously. Crazy pain tht bone on bone. Now i wake up suffocating..sleep apnea. Think I've had so much trauma, I'm shutting off from life altogether.. double vision the lot!! Great to listen to you dear. NHS UK leaves a lot to be desired!!
Thank you Dr. David, you have no idea how some of your videos helped me heal slowly, but gradually for the last two months.
I started having pain in my right hip joint in the upper front part of the flexor area, a situation has reached where I am limping when walking and cannot walk more than 100 meters.
An x-ray showed that I have cartilage erosion in both joints but mainly in the painful right joint.
I followed your TH-cam channel and did some of your exercise for hip joints,
Now two months later the joint pain is slowly starting to disappear, and so is the limp!
Thank you
These exercises seem good preventative ones. Thank you.
Thanks
You’re welcome!!! Thank you so much for your support!!!
thank you for the preventive health videos.. I'm just now starting to notice a tightening of upper leg muscles on my leftside.. I feel it when I try to walk any distance for exercise. I'm trying to get back into shape for a trip to the mountains.. I used to climb quite a bit. It's seems like in the last year or so I've lost stamina.. especially after getting the Moderna vaccine.. but I've also just turned 65 so possibly a combination.
If I stretch when lying down when I'm in pain, I sound like the terminator...cracking right through till I can't stretch anymore... sometimes I lock and can't move without pain...will try your Dr....
Your exercises are awesome. I also like to listen to healing music, arthritis hip pain while doing your exercises. Thanks heaps for this😊
❤ thank you for taking adequate time explaining what and where I should feel the "burn"! I've been doing these exercises from a physical therapist I saw and now realize that I was not doing them correctly! ❤ I am grateful for the relief... FINALLY!❤
Thank you so very much Dr. David!!! 😭🥰🤗!!! I have no words!
You're welcome Kellye! 😊
Thanks David. Already see improvement.
Wooohoooo!!! That’s great news Larry!!! We’re so happy to hear that you’re feeling an improvement!!!
I just found your videos yesterday and have tried the exercises. Thank you for explaining in such detail how the hips work. I've been dealing with bone on bone, and it's pretty painful. I want to be able to walk and dance like I used to. These exercises will really help. Thank you so much! ❤

Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not.
We hope you found this information helpful. Have a lovely weekend! 🧡
Glad I found you. your explanation of solutions is great. Thank You.
Glad it was helpful Don!
I would agree with all of these exercises and had been doing them for months with physiotherapist, however I found out I had a labral tear and the clam exercise made it worse. I should’ve known because it was painful to do. But the lying down and tightening your glutes is a good exercise cause you could do it before you get out of bed and when you go to bed. Thank you.
Just watched, thanks for posting. Doc told me couple of yrs ago I had OA both hips with right being worst (I’m 67). Oddly last couple of weeks my left has been really bothering me but seems to now be subsiding. Will give your recommendations a try and see how things go. 🤞
V helpful.
First and last exercises have immediate effect
Glad to hear they were helpful! 😊
Thank you for sharing these exercises. They are really helping with my hip joint issues. Hope I can avoid hip replacement.
Thank you very much for making and sharing this video, especcially the 'clam' excercise: shifting the knee over under knee and tipping the toes underfoot make the difference🙏🏼
Hey Jolanda! You are very welcome! We are glad to hear that these exercises have helped you! Keep up the great work and please keep us posted on how you are progressing! 🙌🏽🧡

One question… in the last exercise are you kneeing on both knees or one? I can’t quite tell. I’ve tried the exercise both ways and wanted to make sure that I didn’t hurt myself. You are a blessing!
Kneeling on one knee at a time.
Thank you so much for this. Done it twice today. Already decrease in pain. Excited!!

Hi, I have been doing your exercises for hip arthritis. They are working for me. I have had excruciating pains for years and tried every exercise on youtube. Thank you. I wonder if you have suggestions to correct a tilted pelvis, lateral or anterior? I feel my pelvis is not in the right place.
Hi Marlene, We are so glad to hear you have been doing our exercises for hip arthritis and that you have seen a difference! 🎉 The exercises in this video can help ease pain from your tilted pelvis but to correct it is a bit more complex. It would require manual physical therapy. n the US, you can find a physical therapist trained similarly to Dr. David at this website: aaompt.org/Main/Public_Resources/Find-A-Fellow/Main/Member_Resources/Find-A-Fellow.aspx?hkey=108c9a56-f793-45e4-b3ed-cefe5d871a94
You could also do a Virtual Consultation with Dr. David so you can speak to him one on one about the details of your situation. He would then advise you and give you the next steps to take. If you'd like to learn more about our consultations please click here: www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/virtual-visit/
We hope you that can feel some relief soon! We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care! 🧡
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you for your suggestions and prompt answer. I have been to many physical therapists for this. Nothing was satisfactory, only lasted for a while. I will continue with certain PRI techniques that seem to be working, but nothing is quick enough. Thanks again for your exercises. They make me stronger for sure.
Hello from 🇮🇪 ireland. Really well explained....thank you...i have just started to get pain a week ago as i changed my car ...and my seat is a bucket seat...didn't know what a bad choice i made but getting them charged. I have not been fir any assessments with medics as yet. Can you advise if you can get back pain with an arthritic hip.
Hey Jacqueline, Thank you for your feedback! We are so sorry to hear that you've been dealing with hip arthritis, we are glad you're looking to get the seats changed in your car as they seem to be aggravating your pain.
Although, it is not uncommon and usually likely that hip issues then lead to back pain or vice versa it is difficult for us to address if that's the case with your situation as we don't have enough information to make the proper suggestions. We encourage you to get an assessment somewhere near you but if you want to work with us we suggest a virtual consultation.
By opting for a Virtual Consultation, you'll have the opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation with our doctors, where they can delve into the details of your condition and provide you with tailored guidance and coaching. This personalized approach ensures that you receive the individualized support and direction you need to make informed decisions about your health.

I so appreciate the details you demonstrate on how to isolate the specific glut muscle for the most effective results. For someone like me who has developed patterns of unconscious movement (ADD), it makes ALL the difference. I hear so many people complain that “physical therapy” didn’t help. If you belong to an HMO, people are thrown into “group” physical therapy or just given handouts. I consider such “classes” a total waste of my time. Besides, we’re all different. Thank you, so, so, much.
You're welcome Buela N.!!! We're glad that you're benefitting from our explanations on exercises!
Thank you for sharing these videos. I just started the excersizes and when I feel better I will cancel my hip replacement surgery.

You are an excellent specialist and it was your recommendations that helped me to calm my sciatic nerve.
I really like how energetically you try to instill hope, convince not to give up and I especially liked how you said that in relation to recovery we need to become obsessed!!!
However, I would like to make a small recommendation and I hope it will be useful.
You talk too much while demonstrating the exercises. Sometimes even you just start doing the exercise and immediately stop to add your explanations again and again. This is completely understandable, because any man is so arranged that he cannot fully speak and do at the same time, something will suffer. Therefore, you stop to finish the explanation.
Well, a person listening to you with hope also cannot listen and do with the same dedication, especially since sometimes it is impossible to understand when the exercise actually begins and when it ends, because you talk all the time.
Your listener should be able to do the exercise together with you , it is only reliable way , to put it off until later - it does not work.
You should demonstrate the exercises continuously, measurably, slowly from the beginning to the end and speak during the demonstration minimally only to give commands. This will give patients the opportunity to follow you. If you need to explain again, then take time between exercises. Thank you for reading.
What do you recommend for temporary pain relief.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME HOPE. Scheduled for left hip replacement consultation with Surgeon in Dec.2023. I’m bone on bone with barely any cartilage left and in a lot of pain. I am starting these exercises today. Hope NOT to have the surgery. Again THANK YOU!
Hey Dannus! We are thrilled to hear that we have given you hope and we want to encourage you to not give up and exhaust all options before truly considering surgery! If you do well at properly applying our suggestions and treatment strategies then you will likely experience some improvement, it's important to exercise patience and set realistic expectations as you know the recovery process may take longer than expected.

Just wanted to thank you for your guidance and very informative advice.
I am hoping this will help. I had sudden onset hip/groin pain about 10 weeks ago. The pain is not going away despite physiotherapy, steroids and anti-inflammatory. The pain gets better with rest, but gets worse and weaker with walking. No one knows what's going on and they won't do mri imaging so I'm trying anything I can.
I'm so glad i found your channel. I was diagnosed with hip (left) bursitis and osteoarthritis. I also have weak meniscus joints (not sure if that's the right term), more on my left knee. My kneecaps will slide out of place if i take a wrong step or hit the side of my kneecap; that has held me back or fearful of strenuous exercises. I just watched the video on what exercises to avoid and now this video on what exercises you recommend. I'm starting today! Perhaps you have a video to help with my meniscus? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and i wish you continued success. I'll definitely be sharing your videos with family and friends.
Thank You.
you are adorable and I appreciate the segmented time bar so I can rewind efficiently.
Hey Elaine, Thank you so much for the kind words! =D
Excellent dr thank you. Blessings.

I have bone on bone x ray on my right hip. Also I have sciatica that goes to the top of my right foot sometimes. It wakes me up during the night. I was doing the 1st two exercises only once or twice a day, but my hip is worse. Starting today, I will do the 3 up to 5x to see if I can rebuild the cartilage and avoid surgery. I am doing your sciatic exercises also. Thank you.
