It’s crazy because before I was diagnosed, I found myself doing all of these just as a relief of pain. It’s crazy how your body somewhat knows what motions promote healing
Ten years ago I was registered for a hip replacment operation. The waiting time was very long. I decided to heal myself. My cat started laying on my hip, that was hurting. Purring, (vibrating) warming my sore hip. It helped! I started doing yoga for seniors. Gradually I was able to walk again. I had injections, but the cat helped more. It was the cats idea! Now, I need to keep my diet, and walk and exercise, in water or on dry land to make my hip working. The exercises I learned on youtube keeps me moving. No operation!
Thank you for the video! I have a labral tear from a horse accident i had in 2004. It acts up periodically. I was thinking i was going to have to get a hip replacement b/c the pain wasn't going away, but the exercises have helped tremendously. Love your videos!!!
I injured my hip in my early 40s. I tore the ligament in the front of my hip in a restaurant. It took me a year to walk without pain. Now I am 60 and this injury has started to bother me. Dr. David, you took thr pain away in 20 minutes on this video. I cannot thank you as I have health insurance with a 2K deductible which prevents me from getting any medical attention. Thank you Dr. David you are a blessing!!!!!!

Suffered a traumatic fall in Paris last August. PT failed, finally had an MRI last week. Superior labral hip tear. Found your video and it gives me hope that I can remediate my hip to mitigate symptoms. Not excited about any type of surgery. You do a fabulous job of describing the issue, and the whys behind the importance of doing the exercises with correct body mechanics. Well done!!
If you're skeptical, this man is giving you free physical therapy advice that most people would pay hundreds of dollars per session for. These exercises are stellar! Almost instant relief.
I’ve had 3 labrum tears, 2 unsuccessful surgeries. My last one they did a reconstruction it’s seems like it worked I’m a week post op. Do your research before surgery friends it’s hard recovery.
About 15 years ago my mother had bell's palsy. While it take several months, she did recover about 90% of her facial animation (though she was much older). I discovered your channel when I took up ballet as a hobby in my 30s. I felt i was really starting to make progress when i ended up injuring myself with a labral tear that is unfortunately a chronic condition. Everyone has something sooner or later. I try to focus on what my body can do instead of its limitations, which might help you as well.
Hi David, thank you so much for this video. I am 47, have always been athletically active but have been held back by hip pain for the last18th months. Your other videos on hip labrum tears explained the symptoms and cause of this so well. It matched my symptoms perfectly. I found this video after a skate session, which I cut short due to pain and was expecting to suffer the effects of for a few days. The exercises had an amazing effect and my pain was reduced drastically that same day! I used the glutes technique and was always able to walk without a limp for the 1st time in ages! I am going to commit to these exercises and am very excited to see the results. Thank you so much 🙌
I really appreciate the videos. You explain everything so well and very clear. I can't thank enough and I hope you know how much you are helping people with these videos. I have recently done MRI and found out that I have a small anterior labral tear. I love activities and stay active throughout the year. I usually play tennis, cycle and do weight training and I do not want to give up on any of them since they are my passions. Any advise you can give on this as to can I still play tennis and cycle at least once a week and keep on going with my weight training? I would really appreciate if you can help clarify this for me?
I'm sure I have a hip labral tear, but I have no pain when my hip is in the right position. When it goes out, I can barely walk. Otherwise, it feels perfectly fine. I have been going to the gym, swimming and doing ballet regularly. Should I be strengthening or just working on keeping it moving? When should I start strengthening?
Thank you so much for these videos. I am dealing with a bad hip labrum tear. I love the way you describe the diagnosis and the exercises. I am currently taking Physical Therapy. But your videos are giving me other exercises to work on.
I got a larbrum tear in my right groin. A side effect of getting he 2nd Pfizer Covid vaccine. I know I had issues with inflammation before i got vaccinated. But after i got the 2nd Pfizer vaccine i got immediate arthritis in my left shoulder the injection site. Then a week laterci could barely walk. De the labrum tear. Thanks for the video. I can never make itcto physical therapy because im always working
So glad this came up in my recommended videos. I am fairly certain that a car accident a few months ago caused a labrum tear on my left hip (where the seat belt crossed over). My doctor took a 'do nothing' approach - as in, use ibuprofen for pain & wait it out, rather than any type of PT. I'm a martial artist and a move that was once very easy for me (drop stance moving into a bow stance) has become near impossible. Just doing the first few exercises helped me to really zero in on where the pain is originating. I was doing some of this already, but more as a response to pain than a proactive series of movements. Thank you for this information!
Hi Patchchon, We are so sorry to hear that you're suffering from hip labrum issues! 🥺 We know how painful and challenging it can be to deal with and we hope you can feel some relief soon. Hip Labrum issues can take a very long time to heal. it can take up to 6 to 12 months to heal depending on how dedicated one it to their rehabilitation. We have a hip labrum help playlist you might helpful. You can access it here: “Hip Labrum Tear Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mZNugkhV8zHHPUu4PVh3vUy.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 wish you all the best in your road to recovery. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
I'm glad I found your video. I was diagnosed with impingement and bone spurs about 8 or 9 years ago. Told by ortho I didn't need to do anything until I'm in pain all the time. Fast forward to 2 months ago. Loss on range of motion and now pain in my glutes. Your videos completely explain why its there. I quit working out because I was afraid to make it worse. Now I know I need to get back to it to get stronger and squatting is ok. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
On top of my labrum tear, I have a lot of pelvic pain from pelvic floor dysfunction and adhesions. I'm not "supposed" to be holding my muscles tight, so the act of squeezing my glutes is worrisome for me. I know the length of recovery time will vary based on the extent of the tear and my commitment to the exercises, but I'd there a general time frame where people start feeling relief? Also, I'm a sweep rower. Will rowing improve or aggravate a labrum tear? Thanks!
@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you for sharing so much. I’m tired of hearing the doc tell me there’s nothing I can do but take meds for pain and possibly have surgery. Your exercises helped me better than anyone the two pt rounds I’ve had. These exercises also give relief right after I’m done, so I know now I have a way to stop hurting. I am going to keep going with them! Thank you! Are there any movements to avoid while healing? It seems like I’m always messing up my progress and my hip goes back into pain from the simplest chores.
Hi is it normal when doing the squeezing of the glute to have a slight tightening on the hip flexor. I feel like there is no way to squeeze the glute without moving the pelvis forward a bit, or is this wrong just curious I am doing the right technique. I definitely don’t feel it in the quads.
Hi there! I just found your videos. I have issues with my R knee. Appreciating the exercises explanations you are offering. Thank you! But I have a few questions: do you have a video where you link knee pain to body misalignment? Or scoliosis? Also, I use that kinesiology sport tape and recommend it. It really gives a good grip support. Do you have videos about it? Ah, and for the join pain - have you heard about DMSO for it?
Thank you so much. I wish you were located in New York City. U are fantastic in explaining this condition. I started following your recommended exercises. They also said I have severe arthritis. 😩
What weights can I incorporate with squats? I may or may not have a torn labrum in my left hip but I haven't had an mri and it only bothers me if I tweak it a certain way. Locks up when I run, certain yoga poses and sometimes even climbing steps or kicking in TKD. I refuse to stop working out and playing sports or lifting weights so what other exercises do you recommend to stay fit?
Hey so I have questions do you think I have a labral tear from hockey it’s been months and I feel it when I extend my skate far out or sit down and bend the knee towards myself
Hi Threeofeight197! We are so happy to hear this exercise has been working well for you! If you're interested in learning more about how to naturally heal a torn hip labrum, here is a playlist for you! Check it out: “Hip Labrum Tear Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mZNugkhV8zHHPUu4PVh3vUy.html
Thank you so much for sharing these! I really appreciated your explanation of which muscles to feel vs just doing the movements. 💯 I'm quad dominant, right glute is visually smaller than the left. Pain is in the right hip. All the muscles in and around the hip are in a state of contracture.
Would a torn hip labrum hurt more when having no movement at all for days due to illness? I stayed in bed for several days and my hip got sooo painful that I couldn’t lay or sit down anymore. Or is this some other problem in my hip? 🤔
@@hildahelm hello hilda, these 6 exercises and a couple of different exercises from my doctor would have been increased my movement skills and reduced the pain for last 2 months...how old are you?
I had a heavy glute workout tonight & then I went into stretching. I had my right leg bent in a squat position with my left leg straight toes up… I turned my body to the left and bent down towards my left leg to get a good stretch… Pop! I felt my ass tear and I instantly got up. On my way home the pain went down my leg into my inner foot… then the pain wrapped around the front of my pelvis. Right now I’m icing my ass. I’ve torn a couple of hamstrings in the past so I know it can be a hard long recovery! I did all of my own physical recovery. I sure hope that you read this so you can give me some advice so I can get back to working my glutes! Will these stretches help my tear? Thank you in advance! 🙏
Go get an MRI, I was self diagnosing myself because I was a “gym rat” however you should get a professional to diagnose you, so you can know what exercises to exactly use to target your situation. Good Luck.
@@elifoster4367 the last time I tore a muscle I called my doc & told her what happened and she agreed that I tore my muscle and she told me that I knew what to do to heal it so no MRI for me. I got knocked down and broke my wrist in 4 places and had surgery. Went to see the surgeon 8 days later. He was pissed bcz I took off my own bandages! I said to him, don’t you remember telling me that I could take them off in 7 days? lol he forgot, but I didn’t. I told him that I started PT in just 3 days after surgery. He asked me to show him what I was doing. He told me that he has never had a patient take off their own bandages & start their own PT. He initially planned on sending me to a physical therapist but changed his mind. He said, you’re further in 8 days then all of my other patients have been in a month. So I continued doing my own PT. I was in the gym 2 weeks later modifying my workouts so I could keep up my bicep strength. Within about 6 months I was curling 15 pounds dumbbells with my wrist, today I’m curling 20. I learned at 5 yrs old how to do my own physical therapy after being in the hospital for an extended period of time, going through PT and not walking for 2 yrs on both feet. PT has been my life to stay out of pain & staying fit is just a part of that. I do calisthenics to stay fit, unfortunately I have had just 2 tears in my lifetime from doing dynamic movements when my muscles are too tight. I’m learning what I can’t do, but I’ll never stop moving… Thanks for your concern!
@marshareed1438 I hope you're using your knowledge and enthusiasm as a trainer or something. I was literally in tears today because I can't seem to overcome the pain in my hip no matter what I try. You've encouraged me with your story. 😊
You ate some spicy stuff and It was the ghost of your ex saying, before you die, sprinkle ashes on your chili powder so they can tear your arse 1 last time.
Hi Mike, we are so sorry that you are experiencing pain due to a labrum tear. While glute exercises will help with hip pain, with a labrum tear you want to have a more gradual approach to your exercises. Below we have added a link of a good place to start: "How To Avoid Surgery And Naturally Help Heal A Hip Labrum Tear" th-cam.com/video/PP-23kOsg3Y/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared “Hip Labrum Tear Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mZNugkhV8zHHPUu4PVh3vUy.html Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity.

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 this helps! Please keep us posted on your progress! 🙌🏽
Thank you! This is very encouraging! I haven’t gotten to my Ortho, but, pretty sure I have a torn labrum. When I drop into a squat my right hip joint will seize up. Sometime I can’t even stand up straight for a few minutes until I work it out. When I go for walks it will be ok and then it starts becoming painful, to the point I can’t move. At that point I extend my leg behind me until i feel the flexor stretching just to the point of pain. my foot is flexed and toes on the ground. At this point I start wiggling my heel back and forth keeping toes anchored. The action is similar to your “ fidgeting “ exercise. After the gentle stretching and wiggling back and forth I feel the pain subside, the impingement release and I am able to slowly make my way back home or on my journey. Tbh, I was afraid if I went to an orthopedic surgeon they would want to perform surgery….but, If I can heal this on my own with these exercises, I would MUCH rather go that route!. I also have bad knees and had a PRP in one and udlillical cord stem cells in the other with wonderful results! Thank you again for this video!
Hey Liz, It is encouraging to hear that you are not experiencing any pain when it happens. It could be crepitus but we would recommend seeing advice from your healthcare professional in order to truly see if there is an issue. 🧡
David, this video is awesome! I have a question. Are those exercises also helpful for patients that pass arthroscopy surgery for labrum tear (anterolateral in 90deg range, femuroacetabular impingement)? Thank you for a great job! Peter
Hey Peter! Absolutely! These exercises would be great to ensure proper alignment of the hips. If the hips are in proper alignment, the labrum will have less stress being put through it. Hope this helps!
Hey David. Thank you for fantastic responds! I will go for arthroscopy surgery to fix my left labrum damaged by femuroacetabular impingement (CAM side) by November 16. I got this from sitting job (40 hours per week) when Gluteus muscle got too week and unbalanced with front muscles. I will follow you exercises to strengthen my Gluteus butt muscle. I will not load my leg after surgery at all (using both crutches). I appreciate your advices that absolutely make sense! Let see how will go after surgery, but maybe I will use an option for consultation. I will keep in touch. Thank you again Dave. Best. Peter
Hey Ub33npwnd! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Dealing with impingements and tears can be tough, even after surgery. We totally get it. While surgery aims to address these issues, everyone's journey is different, and it's not uncommon to still have some pain. Hang in there! Recovering from surgery takes time, and your body may still be adjusting. Your journey toward pain relief is ongoing, and we're rooting for you. In case you are interested we do have additional information and exercises in a playlist we have compiled for hip pain help. You can check it out here: “Hip Pain Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mZF48A6w0CrTONLq2ZaVw3G.html We hope you that can feel some relief soon!
Its been 9 months now after being diagnosed and i still have slight aches and pain everyday even while just simple walking gonna start doing this and hopefully will be able to do basic things without aches.
That is wonderful to hear Sasha! We are so glad to hear this helped, keep up the great work! 🙌🏽🍑 “Hip Labrum Tear Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mZNugkhV8zHHPUu4PVh3vUy.html Keep us posted on your progress 😊
THANK YOU!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Because of you I haven't given up on a PT solution to my hip pain. Doc recommended surgery - put me through a few weeks of PT that aggravated my hip more than helping, so I ended up getting a cortisone shot and just walking away from it. I didn't want surgery but didn't know how to help my hip. THIS is helping.
Hey Brucewillis2, it depends on the severity of the injury but it can be repaired with the right exercises. If you currently dealing with hip labrum issues we highly encourage having a Virtual Consultation with Dr. David. This will give you the opportunity to discuss your situation with the Dr. one on one and then he can advise you on the next steps to take.

Your advice to work out the glutes in isolation has SAVED my hip. Muscle imbalance is real. I really do think, per your recommendation, that overly activated forward muscles pull the bone too forward into the socket, causing the tear. Like the Dr. says in the, work out the glutes and pull the hip ball back! Thank you, doctor. Surgery is not needed when your body's biomechanics are balanced properly.
DOC your amazing!!!!! ihave bone on bone in shoulders did your exercises & it has help so much but the most important thing was my hips i was going for both hip replacements started doing your program every day it was slow going that was 6 months ago left is woirst than right so right is 85% & left is 75 % people u have to stay with the program i garranty it works im from ontario canada how can i send some $$$ thank u so much!

Ok I'm in the rehab torn labrum camp and definitely resluting from imbalance between quad dominant/hip flexor dominant and glute activation and lack of strength. I restricts what I can do yet not overly painful. Also, I added a light theraband around my knees during the 5th exercise to help with activating the glutes and it works! What are your thoughts on this?
This is great. I had back surgery , laminectomy for right sciatic after surgery sciatica shifted to left. I also have a torn labrum L hip. I do get glute ache and some radicular calf stuff. Is it safe for me to do these post laminectomy? Have you heard of anyone having sciatic like symptoms from a labral tear?
Hey @nevermind7652, you'll usually be diagnosed by an orthopedic specialized physician. Possibly a surgeon. The healthcare professional that diagnoses you will be the best person to let you know what medication to take instead of ibuprofen :-)
My doctor told me that I need a hip replacement; he showed me a skeleton and showed me which part of the bone they’ll cut. I was shocked when I heard what he said. I decided to go TH-cam and found your video. I like your video compared to other physical therapist. I really “do not want any surgery anymore.” Is there a way I can talk to you? I’ll really appreciate very much if you’ll agree to talk to me. I’m from California, please let me know what’s the best time to call you. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
Does it matter where the tear is? Ie: previously L hip tear 11:00-1:00. Pretty sure have tear R hip now but no imaging to tell me where. AROM no pain. WB moving acetabulum on femur ie fwd flexion very painful. Occasional pain with squat and sitting getting in out of car as driver.
Was just told I need Hip surgery. Labrum torn lenthwise and arthritis. It's really painful. I can do all these excercises but i get very sore afterward.
I have some questions - are these exercises also appropriate for a posterior labrum tear? Also, I cannot get on my hands & knees, can I sit in a chair and lean forward on a big ball *for Ex #4) - as for 5 & 6, I have terrible knees & cannot do squats. Lastly, do you have any videos to ease pain with a sacroiliac joint?
I have a hip impingement with labrum tear. My doc said from my hips not forming correctly due to being a breech baby! 🤯 I'm stopped my physical job and resting helped tremendously and now physical therapy is killing med and the pain is coming full on back. I cannot believe this is happening!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your teaching, I have pain in my right hip only ,how do I know if I have a labrum tears, I do not think that I have a tears, could you explain a little more on labrum tears, thank you. Ferdinand
Hips are rotated so I walk with my right hip higher than my left. Do I need to retrain my gait, if that’s possible. This is due to scoliosis. I’ll do these exercises regardless of the rotated hips. Thanks so much.
I'm going to do these. I have a torn labrum, osteoarthritis and bone spurs in my right hip. I supposed to be scheduled for hip replacement surgery in 3 months. I swim, bike, hike a lot and can't stand the idea of surgery. I'm 72 and in excellent condition other than the hip pain.
I'm always working my butt muscles lol. My pain started when I started doing about exercises with raising my legs but also at the same time I started doing fire hydrants. I always had issue with walking allot, my hip joint would hurt and feel like it's bone on bone. Now it feels like it's almost fused together. I can't move the way I want..it's just stuck. Feels like it needs to be popped but nothing works. At first the pain was in my hip. Then ut started to go from my hip to my lower back (not my butt) and my knee. Then I started stretching and it stopped in my lower back then it was just at my hip. But idk if I stretched too much or what, I was using the band to pull the joint out of the socket just a little but while stretching. So now it's in my hip, side of my thigh, knee, AND ankle/foot. Idk if it's the I.T band. But it continues just to feel stuck in the socket and won't be mobile.
Thank you for this. I've had a tear for a few years and every once in a while I will do something that sets the pain off...and it lasts a long time. I'm happy to find you. Many of the exercises I find online make the pain so much worse. Yours do not. Thank you. I like your gentle way of explaining too.
Thanks for this guide !!! I've been doing all these exercises every day before and after my treatment for torn labrum and i' m feeling better and better every day!!!! Tks!!!
I have issue : i had a torn labrum and it did a lot of pain in a certain position and surgery was done and stitched up it again and then wasnt possible to repair the specific part and needed remove,If a part is removed, should it be there what kind replacement dor that?I feel that it's still not right.
This is exactly what I need, I recently re injured my hip labrum, I had stem cell injections back in 2016 and after a few months I was feeling better and only randomly had issues with pain. I recently was working in the garage on a project on the floor that had me squatting down for longer periods of time and this re injured my labrum. I will start on these exercises today!
Hey Dave, we're so sorry to hear about your hip labrum injury! The stem cell injections can be very helpful but it's only a temporary fix. It's important to address the muscle imbalance and these exercises are a good start to get you on the road to recovery. We have a playlist that you can use. You can access it here: “Hip Labrum Tear Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mZNugkhV8zHHPUu4PVh3vUy.html We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Hello , I am profesional athlete doing judo over 20 years and last year I had surgery on one leg where my labrum was torn apart , also I am feeling pain in my other hip sometimes , which annoys me alot. By the video and your comments I would say that all I have to work on are to make glutes stronger to release pressure of labrum. Is it only glutes or maybe back also , with having that issue I am feeling pain everywhere around labrum but pain is moving depends on trainings it can be on upper side where labrum sits or back side where the glutes are. I am rly looking forward for your answer thx alot.
Hey Adrian, sorry to hear about your labrum tear, surgery, and now pain in the other hip :-( Yes, working on getting more glute strength AND using the glutes properly when moving, you should be able to take pressure off your hip joint and the labrum to allow it to heal. Back problems can also contribute to this. Judo can be intense, so it makes sense that your pain can move depending on what you're doing. It is possible that you might have to back off from Judo for a bit to allow your hip to heal and strengthen your glutes muscles enough to take the intensity of Judo. This is especially good to do if you consistently have pain during or after Judo. Otherwise you might be making your hip problem gradually worse.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thx alot for your answer , I will be trying to release pressure first with those exercise and I am not training yet on my maximum to see the result and yes I know in judo there are alot of movements which unfortunately puts extra pressure on my hips. Anyways as I just starting to comming back but nobody really gave me some nice exercises for activation or to gain strenght in glutes for example , I am gonna give it a try and report you how I am gonna feel , after. You think I should work on all exercises together from day 1 or how , cause I was doing already exercises with bands for example and so on. Thx , once more I really appreciate it , I really think it's not alot about hip in general on the internet , that can help to people.
Hi sir, sir i had a car accident in which my left hip dislocated , i had no bone fracture at hip.(but i had patella fracture too in this accident) Its been 3 months now . I want to improve my hip how can i do it. I need you help
It’s crazy because before I was diagnosed, I found myself doing all of these just as a relief of pain. It’s crazy how your body somewhat knows what motions promote healing
Me too! The human body is amazing!
I agree!!!
Agreed, and I'm actually wondering if this is what I'm dealing with rather than a bone-on-bone situation.
ITS GOD !!!!!
Hey , how are you after the diagnosis? Did you get any surgery done? 😊
Ten years ago I was registered for a hip replacment operation. The waiting time was very long. I decided to heal myself. My cat started laying on my hip, that was hurting. Purring, (vibrating) warming my sore hip. It helped!

Now, I need to keep my diet, and walk and exercise, in water or on dry land to make my hip working. The exercises I learned on youtube keeps me moving.
No operation!

I’ve had 3 labrum tears, 2 unsuccessful surgeries. My last one they did a reconstruction it’s seems like it worked I’m a week post op. Do your research before surgery friends it’s hard recovery.
I thought I'd send the pic of the brace. Oh well.
I have had 2 failed shoulder labrum surgeries and a failed hip labrum surgery I feel your struggle. I hope that you are closer to healing now.
About 15 years ago my mother had bell's palsy. While it take several months, she did recover about 90% of her facial animation (though she was much older). I discovered your channel when I took up ballet as a hobby in my 30s. I felt i was really starting to make progress when i ended up injuring myself with a labral tear that is unfortunately a chronic condition. Everyone has something sooner or later. I try to focus on what my body can do instead of its limitations, which might help you as well.
I am glad I found this, did the exercise and felt immediate relieve from shooting pain!
That's fantastic to hear! 😁
Really appreciate the way you address this. One question, I hear the phrase "heal the hip labrum" used quite a bit. Is "healing" truly possible?
Hi David, thank you so much for this video. I am 47, have always been athletically active but have been held back by hip pain for the last18th months. Your other videos on hip labrum tears explained the symptoms and cause of this so well. It matched my symptoms perfectly. I found this video after a skate session, which I cut short due to pain and was expecting to suffer the effects of for a few days. The exercises had an amazing effect and my pain was reduced drastically that same day! I used the glutes technique and was always able to walk without a limp for the 1st time in ages! I am going to commit to these exercises and am very excited to see the results. Thank you so much 🙌
What kind of skate session? Im 46 have hip pain too and have been playing hockey (roller and ice) for 30+ years
I really appreciate the videos. You explain everything so well and very clear. I can't thank enough and I hope you know how much you are helping people with these videos. I have recently done MRI and found out that I have a small anterior labral tear. I love activities and stay active throughout the year. I usually play tennis, cycle and do weight training and I do not want to give up on any of them since they are my passions. Any advise you can give on this as to can I still play tennis and cycle at least once a week and keep on going with my weight training? I would really appreciate if you can help clarify this for me?
I'm sure I have a hip labral tear, but I have no pain when my hip is in the right position. When it goes out, I can barely walk. Otherwise, it feels perfectly fine. I have been going to the gym, swimming and doing ballet regularly. Should I be strengthening or just working on keeping it moving? When should I start strengthening?
I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My tear is degenerating my hip and they tell me I will need a hip replacement someday.
Thank you so much for these videos. I am dealing with a bad hip labrum tear. I love the way you describe the diagnosis and the exercises. I am currently taking Physical Therapy. But your videos are giving me other exercises to work on.
I got a larbrum tear in my right groin. A side effect of getting he 2nd Pfizer Covid vaccine. I know I had issues with inflammation before i got vaccinated. But after i got the 2nd Pfizer vaccine i got immediate arthritis in my left shoulder the injection site. Then a week laterci could barely walk. De the labrum tear. Thanks for the video. I can never make itcto physical therapy because im always working
Do you honestly believe that’s what happened?
Why would you gaslight his experience. There have been so many side effects reported and people need to talk about it.
I’m 14 and told I should not be having hip pain but just from doing one set of all of this stopped the popping thank you!
Same
@@jahiemaustin6864 I’m now out of sports for 2 months I got 5 weeks left
Really good. I tried the sitting on the chair glute exercise and that relieved the pain quite immediately. Thanks El Paso Manual Physical Therapy. 🙏
So glad this came up in my recommended videos. I am fairly certain that a car accident a few months ago caused a labrum tear on my left hip (where the seat belt crossed over). My doctor took a 'do nothing' approach - as in, use ibuprofen for pain & wait it out, rather than any type of PT. I'm a martial artist and a move that was once very easy for me (drop stance moving into a bow stance) has become near impossible. Just doing the first few exercises helped me to really zero in on where the pain is originating. I was doing some of this already, but more as a response to pain than a proactive series of movements.
Thank you for this information!
thank you for your very good and precise instructions! I will practice them and send you greetings from Germany!
How long does it take the labrum to heal. Approximately.
Hi Patchchon, We are so sorry to hear that you're suffering from hip labrum issues! 🥺 We know how painful and challenging it can be to deal with and we hope you can feel some relief soon. Hip Labrum issues can take a very long time to heal. it can take up to 6 to 12 months to heal depending on how dedicated one it to their rehabilitation. We have a hip labrum help playlist you might helpful. You can access it here:

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 wish you all the best in your road to recovery. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Thank you so much
Wonderful information and advice. Thank you, Dr. David for sharing for free! ❤️
Hey Elle! You're very welcome!
and I want yo thank you too! Thank you for your advice dr. David ❤
I'm glad I found your video. I was diagnosed with impingement and bone spurs about 8 or 9 years ago. Told by ortho I didn't need to do anything until I'm in pain all the time. Fast forward to 2 months ago. Loss on range of motion and now pain in my glutes. Your videos completely explain why its there. I quit working out because I was afraid to make it worse. Now I know I need to get back to it to get stronger and squatting is ok. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
On top of my labrum tear, I have a lot of pelvic pain from pelvic floor dysfunction and adhesions. I'm not "supposed" to be holding my muscles tight, so the act of squeezing my glutes is worrisome for me. I know the length of recovery time will vary based on the extent of the tear and my commitment to the exercises, but I'd there a general time frame where people start feeling relief? Also, I'm a sweep rower. Will rowing improve or aggravate a labrum tear? Thanks!
Squeezing the glutes without firing the hip flexors should legs be slightly bent or completely straight
You are awesome! Thank you for all that you do for us ♥️
Is this aggressive enough exercises for somebody who's a competitive athlete? This seems for more sedate people
@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you for sharing so much. I’m tired of hearing the doc tell me there’s nothing I can do but take meds for pain and possibly have surgery. Your exercises helped me better than anyone the two pt rounds I’ve had. These exercises also give relief right after I’m done, so I know now I have a way to stop hurting. I am going to keep going with them! Thank you!
Are there any movements to avoid while healing? It seems like I’m always messing up my progress and my hip goes back into pain from the simplest chores.
Oh I just found a video you made on it, thanks!
My case is a bone on bone at the labrum (locked, according to x-ray). Are the exercises relevant?
Hi is it normal when doing the squeezing of the glute to have a slight tightening on the hip flexor. I feel like there is no way to squeeze the glute without moving the pelvis forward a bit, or is this wrong just curious I am doing the right technique. I definitely don’t feel it in the quads.
Another great video. The explanation of frequency of the exercises is so helpful.
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Hi there! I just found your videos. I have issues with my R knee. Appreciating the exercises explanations you are offering. Thank you! But I have a few questions: do you have a video where you link knee pain to body misalignment? Or scoliosis? Also, I use that kinesiology sport tape and recommend it. It really gives a good grip support. Do you have videos about it?
Ah, and for the join pain - have you heard about DMSO for it?
Would you recommended having nerve block shot I have a tried some of the exercises helps some but mine is torn and lapping. ?thank you.
I get no replays ???
Fantastic video! Thank you
Thank you so much. I wish you were located in New York City. U are fantastic in explaining this condition. I started following your recommended exercises. They also said I have severe arthritis. 😩
What if you're also missing about a 9 mm fragment bone in the tear area can you still do the same exercises?
What weights can I incorporate with squats? I may or may not have a torn labrum in my left hip but I haven't had an mri and it only bothers me if I tweak it a certain way. Locks up when I run, certain yoga poses and sometimes even climbing steps or kicking in TKD. I refuse to stop working out and playing sports or lifting weights so what other exercises do you recommend to stay fit?
Hey so I have questions do you think I have a labral tear from hockey it’s been months and I feel it when I extend my skate far out or sit down and bend the knee towards myself
Such a helpful video! Thank you so much!!!
Glad it was helpful!
That ballet squat thing is amazing. I can feel it in my hip in a really great way.

Thank you so much for sharing these! I really appreciated your explanation of which muscles to feel vs just doing the movements. 💯
I'm quad dominant, right glute is visually smaller than the left. Pain is in the right hip. All the muscles in and around the hip are in a state of contracture.
Would a torn hip labrum hurt more when having no movement at all for days due to illness? I stayed in bed for several days and my hip got sooo painful that I couldn’t lay or sit down anymore. Or is this some other problem in my hip? 🤔
Your exercises are so good , helps a lot . Although I have one question , are straight leg raises good for any kind of hip problem ?
How is this diagnosed - through imaging?
I am going to work on this as its what I need for my right hip labrum tare.
Hi i have labrum tear in right hip will these cause a bit of pain in outer side of hip as well
Do those movements help if there is both labral and teres ligament tears?
Hello Dr. Middaugh, would you offer cycling for the patients of torn hip labrum? Thnaks in advance
hi its Hilda and I have the same diagnosis for two years and I am suffering.I like to hear how it is for you and what helps?
@@hildahelm hello hilda, these 6 exercises and a couple of different exercises from my doctor would have been increased my movement skills and reduced the pain for last 2 months...how old are you?
I had a heavy glute workout tonight & then I went into stretching. I had my right leg bent in a squat position with my left leg straight toes up… I turned my body to the left and bent down towards my left leg to get a good stretch… Pop! I felt my ass tear and I instantly got up. On my way home the pain went down my leg into my inner foot… then the pain wrapped around the front of my pelvis. Right now I’m icing my ass.
I’ve torn a couple of hamstrings in the past so I know it can be a hard long recovery! I did all of my own physical recovery. I sure hope that you read this so you can give me some advice so I can get back to working my glutes! Will these stretches help my tear? Thank you in advance! 🙏
Go get an MRI, I was self diagnosing myself because I was a “gym rat” however you should get a professional to diagnose you, so you can know what exercises to exactly use to target your situation.
Good Luck.
@@elifoster4367 the last time I tore a muscle I called my doc & told her what happened and she agreed that I tore my muscle and she told me that I knew what to do to heal it so no MRI for me. I got knocked down and broke my wrist in 4 places and had surgery. Went to see the surgeon 8 days later. He was pissed bcz I took off my own bandages! I said to him, don’t you remember telling me that I could take them off in 7 days? lol he forgot, but I didn’t. I told him that I started PT in just 3 days after surgery. He asked me to show him what I was doing. He told me that he has never had a patient take off their own bandages & start their own PT. He initially planned on sending me to a physical therapist but changed his mind. He said, you’re further in 8 days then all of my other patients have been in a month. So I continued doing my own PT. I was in the gym 2 weeks later modifying my workouts so I could keep up my bicep strength. Within about 6 months I was curling 15 pounds dumbbells with my wrist, today I’m curling 20. I learned at 5 yrs old how to do my own physical therapy after being in the hospital for an extended period of time, going through PT and not walking for 2 yrs on both feet. PT has been my life to stay out of pain & staying fit is just a part of that. I do calisthenics to stay fit, unfortunately I have had just 2 tears in my lifetime from doing dynamic movements when my muscles are too tight. I’m learning what I can’t do, but I’ll never stop moving…
Thanks for your concern!
@marshareed1438 I hope you're using your knowledge and enthusiasm as a trainer or something. I was literally in tears today because I can't seem to overcome the pain in my hip no matter what I try. You've encouraged me with your story. 😊
You ate some spicy stuff and It was the ghost of your ex saying, before you die, sprinkle ashes on your chili powder so they can tear your arse 1 last time.

Would doing more Glute Exercises help with a Labrum Tear. Thank You
Hi Mike, we are so sorry that you are experiencing pain due to a labrum tear. While glute exercises will help with hip pain, with a labrum tear you want to have a more gradual approach to your exercises. Below we have added a link of a good place to start:
"How To Avoid Surgery And Naturally Help Heal A Hip Labrum Tear"

We hope this helps! Please keep us posted on your progress! 🙌🏽
Thank you! This is very encouraging! I haven’t gotten to my Ortho, but, pretty sure I have a torn labrum. When I drop into a squat my right hip joint will seize up. Sometime I can’t even stand up straight for a few minutes until I work it out. When I go for walks it will be ok and then it starts becoming painful, to the point I can’t move. At that point I extend my leg behind me until i feel the flexor stretching just to the point of pain. my foot is flexed and toes on the ground. At this point I start wiggling my heel back and forth keeping toes anchored. The action is similar to your “ fidgeting “ exercise. After the gentle stretching and wiggling back and forth I feel the pain subside, the impingement release and I am able to slowly make my way back home or on my journey. Tbh, I was afraid if I went to an orthopedic surgeon they would want to perform surgery….but, If I can heal this on my own with these exercises, I would MUCH rather go that route!. I also have bad knees and had a PRP in one and udlillical cord stem cells in the other with wonderful results! Thank you again for this video!
When doing the heel rocking exercise my hips crunch (not a snap, but makes like a grinding noise). It isn't painful. Is this a sign of anything?
Hey Liz, It is encouraging to hear that you are not experiencing any pain when it happens. It could be crepitus but we would recommend seeing advice from your healthcare professional in order to truly see if there is an issue. 🧡
David, this video is awesome! I have a question. Are those exercises also helpful for patients that pass arthroscopy surgery for labrum tear (anterolateral in 90deg range, femuroacetabular impingement)? Thank you for a great job! Peter
Hey Peter! Absolutely! These exercises would be great to ensure proper alignment of the hips. If the hips are in proper alignment, the labrum will have less stress being put through it. Hope this helps!
Hey David. Thank you for fantastic responds! I will go for arthroscopy surgery to fix my left labrum damaged by femuroacetabular impingement (CAM side) by November 16. I got this from sitting job (40 hours per week) when Gluteus muscle got too week and unbalanced with front muscles. I will follow you exercises to strengthen my Gluteus butt muscle. I will not load my leg after surgery at all (using both crutches). I appreciate your advices that absolutely make sense! Let see how will go after surgery, but maybe I will use an option for consultation. I will keep in touch. Thank you again Dave. Best. Peter
I love your video. It is the best and most helpful. Much appreciated
You're welcome! We appreciate you tuning in. We hope you feel better soon! 🙌
My problem was cam inpingments which caused the tears i got surgery but still have pain
Hey Ub33npwnd!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Dealing with impingements and tears can be tough, even after surgery. We totally get it.
While surgery aims to address these issues, everyone's journey is different, and it's not uncommon to still have some pain. Hang in there! Recovering from surgery takes time, and your body may still be adjusting. Your journey toward pain relief is ongoing, and we're rooting for you.

THANK YOU!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Because of you I haven't given up on a PT solution to my hip pain. Doc recommended surgery - put me through a few weeks of PT that aggravated my hip more than helping, so I ended up getting a cortisone shot and just walking away from it. I didn't want surgery but didn't know how to help my hip. THIS is helping.
Thank you so much . Very helpful video
Hey Kim! You're very welcome!
That last thing you said.. allow it to heal naturally. I thought the only way to fully repair the tear is surgery.
Hey Brucewillis2, it depends on the severity of the injury but it can be repaired with the right exercises. If you currently dealing with hip labrum issues we highly encourage having a Virtual Consultation with Dr. David. This will give you the opportunity to discuss your situation with the Dr. one on one and then he can advise you on the next steps to take.

Hello Dr. Middaugh. Can a patient with cerebral palsy do these exercises?
Absolutely Amber! They will benefit as long as they can get their body to perform the exercises correctly (just like anyone else ;-)
Your advice to work out the glutes in isolation has SAVED my hip. Muscle imbalance is real. I really do think, per your recommendation, that overly activated forward muscles pull the bone too forward into the socket, causing the tear. Like the Dr. says in the, work out the glutes and pull the hip ball back! Thank you, doctor. Surgery is not needed when your body's biomechanics are balanced properly.
DOC your amazing!!!!! ihave bone on bone in shoulders did your exercises & it has help so much but the most important thing was my hips i was going for both hip replacements started doing your program every day it was slow going that was 6 months ago left is woirst than right so right is 85% & left is 75 % people u have to stay with the program i garranty it works im from ontario canada how can i send some $$$ thank u so much!

Ok I'm in the rehab torn labrum camp and definitely resluting from imbalance between quad dominant/hip flexor dominant and glute activation and lack of strength. I restricts what I can do yet not overly painful. Also, I added a light theraband around my knees during the 5th exercise to help with activating the glutes and it works! What are your thoughts on this?
This is great. I had back surgery , laminectomy for right sciatic after surgery sciatica shifted to left. I also have a torn labrum L hip. I do get glute ache and some radicular calf stuff. Is it safe for me to do these post laminectomy? Have you heard of anyone having sciatic like symptoms from a labral tear?
What kind of dr you have to see to get diagnosed with a tear ?n what medication do you need to take if you can’t take ibuprofen
Hey @nevermind7652, you'll usually be diagnosed by an orthopedic specialized physician. Possibly a surgeon. The healthcare professional that diagnoses you will be the best person to let you know what medication to take instead of ibuprofen :-)
My doctor told me that I need a hip replacement; he showed me a skeleton and showed me which part of the bone they’ll cut. I was shocked when I heard what he said. I decided to go TH-cam and found your video. I like your video compared to other physical therapist.
I really “do not want any surgery anymore.” Is there a way I can talk to you? I’ll really appreciate very much if you’ll agree to talk to me. I’m from California, please let me know what’s the best time to call you.
I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
Does it matter where the tear is? Ie: previously L hip tear 11:00-1:00. Pretty sure have tear R hip now but no imaging to tell me where. AROM no pain. WB moving acetabulum on femur ie fwd flexion very painful. Occasional pain with squat and sitting getting in out of car as driver.
Was just told I need Hip surgery. Labrum torn lenthwise and arthritis. It's really painful. I can do all these excercises but i get very sore afterward.
I have some questions - are these exercises also appropriate for a posterior labrum tear? Also, I cannot get on my hands & knees, can I sit in a chair and lean forward on a big ball *for Ex #4) - as for 5 & 6, I have terrible knees & cannot do squats. Lastly, do you have any videos to ease pain with a sacroiliac joint?
I have a hip impingement with labrum tear. My doc said from my hips not forming correctly due to being a breech baby! 🤯
I'm stopped my physical job and resting helped tremendously and now physical therapy is killing med and the pain is coming full on back. I cannot believe this is happening!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your teaching, I have pain in my right hip only ,how do I know if I have a labrum tears, I do not think that I have a tears, could you explain a little more on labrum tears, thank you. Ferdinand
Hips are rotated so I walk with my right hip higher than my left. Do I need to retrain my gait, if that’s possible. This is due to scoliosis. I’ll do these exercises regardless of the rotated hips. Thanks so much.
I'm going to do these. I have a torn labrum, osteoarthritis and bone spurs in my right hip. I supposed to be scheduled for hip replacement surgery in 3 months. I swim, bike, hike a lot and can't stand the idea of surgery. I'm 72 and in excellent condition other than the hip pain.
I'm always working my butt muscles lol. My pain started when I started doing about exercises with raising my legs but also at the same time I started doing fire hydrants. I always had issue with walking allot, my hip joint would hurt and feel like it's bone on bone. Now it feels like it's almost fused together. I can't move the way I want..it's just stuck. Feels like it needs to be popped but nothing works. At first the pain was in my hip. Then ut started to go from my hip to my lower back (not my butt) and my knee. Then I started stretching and it stopped in my lower back then it was just at my hip. But idk if I stretched too much or what, I was using the band to pull the joint out of the socket just a little but while stretching. So now it's in my hip, side of my thigh, knee, AND ankle/foot. Idk if it's the I.T band. But it continues just to feel stuck in the socket and won't be mobile.
Thank you for this. I've had a tear for a few years and every once in a while I will do something that sets the pain off...and it lasts a long time. I'm happy to find you. Many of the exercises I find online make the pain so much worse. Yours do not. Thank you. I like your gentle way of explaining too.
Thanks for this guide !!! I've been doing all these exercises every day before and after my treatment for torn labrum and i' m feeling better and better every day!!!! Tks!!!
did you got your labrum repared ?
Hello doc, is this for real? Because I really need help with this labral tear for 3 years now. I badly need response Doc🙏
I have issue :
i had a torn labrum and it did a lot of pain in a certain position and surgery was done and stitched up it again and then wasnt possible to repair the specific part and needed remove,If a part is removed, should it be there
what kind replacement dor that?I feel that it's still not right.
This is exactly what I need, I recently re injured my hip labrum, I had stem cell injections back in 2016 and after a few months I was feeling better and only randomly had issues with pain. I recently was working in the garage on a project on the floor that had me squatting down for longer periods of time and this re injured my labrum. I will start on these exercises today!
Hey Dave, we're so sorry to hear about your hip labrum injury! The stem cell injections can be very helpful but it's only a temporary fix.

I can't seem to get anything to work.
Hello , I am profesional athlete doing judo over 20 years and last year I had surgery on one leg where my labrum was torn apart , also I am feeling pain in my other hip sometimes , which annoys me alot. By the video and your comments I would say that all I have to work on are to make glutes stronger to release pressure of labrum. Is it only glutes or maybe back also , with having that issue I am feeling pain everywhere around labrum but pain is moving depends on trainings it can be on upper side where labrum sits or back side where the glutes are. I am rly looking forward for your answer thx alot.
Hey Adrian, sorry to hear about your labrum tear, surgery, and now pain in the other hip :-(
Yes, working on getting more glute strength AND using the glutes properly when moving, you should be able to take pressure off your hip joint and the labrum to allow it to heal. Back problems can also contribute to this. Judo can be intense, so it makes sense that your pain can move depending on what you're doing. It is possible that you might have to back off from Judo for a bit to allow your hip to heal and strengthen your glutes muscles enough to take the intensity of Judo. This is especially good to do if you consistently have pain during or after Judo. Otherwise you might be making your hip problem gradually worse.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thx alot for your answer , I will be trying to release pressure first with those exercise and I am not training yet on my maximum to see the result and yes I know in judo there are alot of movements which unfortunately puts extra pressure on my hips. Anyways as I just starting to comming back but nobody really gave me some nice exercises for activation or to gain strenght in glutes for example , I am gonna give it a try and report you how I am gonna feel , after. You think I should work on all exercises together from day 1 or how , cause I was doing already exercises with bands for example and so on. Thx , once more I really appreciate it , I really think it's not alot about hip in general on the internet , that can help to people.
Could you please give your opinion on viscose injection? Not cortisone injections … viscose rather… thank you
If I have a posteriosuperior labral tear would these exercises help or for example should I be firing up my quads instead of glutes for the squeezes?
