Tackling the TFL - Mobility and Rehab | Tim Keeley | Physio REHAB

#tfl #mobility #glutes
TFL injuries are reasonably rare, but do happen. In fact, I have a patient at the moment who has one from running due to an overload and then weakness. The cause is the glute medius not doing a good enough job when she runs to stabilise her hip, and so the TFL gets worked pretty hard.
To help with the rehab try working on mobility first to loosen up and then the strengthening second - isolated, working towards functional rehab and standing.

Your videos are full of valuable details!! The “how to” full of the little subtleties in doing each exercise is what makes this channel so interesting! I keep adding rehab exercises to my hip/leg/glutes warm up routine ALL from your channel, I am not injured, just to keep my arthritic knees healthy. Thank you!!

Thank you greetings from America. For the last movement you did that works the left glute. (The one with the purple ball)….is there something similar that doesn’t require a ball?

[@lunahazel670]

Thanks so much! Pretty informative!
Just a quick question, can I work on the muscle when it’s still hurting a bit when I press on it? Many thanks! 🙏

that does not work the TFL, the TFL does flexion abduction and internal rotation. it’s the opposite action of the gluts. if you clench your gluts, your TFL will reciprocally relax.

[@physiorehab]

It’s does actually. The first part about movements like flexion, abduction and internal rotation - you got right. But the second part is actually incorrect. It’s main function is to stabilise the pelvis in standing and walking and so works WITH the glutes.

[@lkjhgfdsa14111990]

the TFL have the same function as the anterior fiber of the glut medius (flexion, abduction and internal rotation).
if you clench your gluts (max) you’re performing extension, that reciprocally inhibit your TFL and your anterior fibers of your glut medius. this is with respect to your demonstration to the open kinetic chain exercise.
your close kinetic chain exercise does not isolate the TFL, it’s a compound movement that uses all your abductors TFL, glut med, upper fibers of glut max etc.
