I love your way of thinking!. I believe the body can heal and has the ability to do so with the correct/right way of thinking. I have lost my faith with Western Medicine, where its default is medicine and surgery. Thank you for sharing those exercises. I have right a hip arthritis and I find by watching your vlogs, that mine is definitely curable / correctable. I remember, looking back, when it first started = I was complaining with a groin pain that was on and off at that time; until overtime, it has gotten worse. I feel confident now in time, it will be healed. I mixed in listening to healing meditation; and now that I have different exercises that I can incorporate into the routine , it's a win-win situation! Thanks a lot.
Thank you thank you for giving me hope Dr David.I have had 6 years plus of debilitating pain and am now awaiting hip replacement, however this will be a pretty long wait in UK.l am now working on your great advice, and am following everything you are saying regarding exercises etc.with the hope of healing myself without the need of surgery. ❤
Please, listen to this man. i found his channel, it made sense. Gave it a few months of training hamstrings and NO quads at all. I am not pain free, but I don't limp and I am training for a marathon. Ask a PT to strengthen your hamstrings and buttocks.
Thank you Doctor for your informative video with new way of thinking and which is very helpful.i am under physio but following your videos I have found more useful. God bless you. Savinder
Pain comes and goes, getting stuck when i stand up, but the inconsistency tells me that the structural stuff isn't the whole picture. MRI stated moderate to severe left hip osteoarthritis with large areas of full-thickness cartilage loss. I'm interested in trying this program...
What helps with inflammation besides medication? I DO need to lose 50-70 pounds. Would that make a drastic improvement? I'm going to nursing school, I'm a dental hygienist, but have a limp when walking. If I can't walk/run I think I'm going to have to give up on nursing.

One more question just so I'm understanding ... a muscle imbalance can cause limping when I walk? Currently, I don't have pain in my right hip, but I do have the funky gait. Correcting a muscle imbalance will correct my gait?
I have been watching your videos and doing the recommended exercises that you have taught, and I feel amazing. I am at the early stage of hip arthritis but am still being told that I need surgery due to innumerable amounts of loose bodies. I really don't want to believe that I am doomed for surgery due to the loose bodies. I am feeling better now but I do still experience a locking every so often on longer walks - is this from a loose body getting "stuck" somewhere?? - But I am fearful that surgery could actually introduce new problems that I do not have and that would defeat the purpose of actually having surgery done to fix the problem. Your thoughts?
I’ve been wondering if the pain I’m experiencing is a muscle issue. My rom is so-so, but my (bilateral) groin area is so painful that I have a hard time taking steps. This started intermittently in, prob’ly, late January, but it’s becoming the “norm.” And, I do NOT want this to be my norm. Will you share an exercise/stretching regimen or two that I may start with? I’m >50# overweight, but I’m more than willing to work on losing said pounds . . . I just don’t know where to begin. Based on what I understood from your video, I should be strength training-that is, walking, in and of itself, is not enough. But, again, no idea where to start. Thank you for your insight, and willingness to share it with us 💕👏🕊️
When I went to the orthopedist in Germany 10 months ago because of severe inflammation in my left hip - I couldn't walk a step - the doctor said, after looking at my x-ray for 15 seconds: Broken. When I asked what was wrong, she said succinctly: hip joint. When I asked what I should do now, she said hip-change. One-word sentences that made me leave the practice in shock. This woman had just spoken to me for 3 minutes altogether and threw this diagnosis at me. It took a few months, a visit to an Indian spiritual healer who told me I didn't need surgery, until I came across this video. Since I've been training isolated my glutes and doing certain stretching exercises, I've been almost pain-free. I teach yoga and can show almost all of the exercises i teach to my students. This morning it feels like I have no problems at all - this after just about 2 months of practice. Thank you very much, Doctor David! I should actually complete the program just out of gratitude - although it's going great now. I would like to encourage everyone to follow the path described in the video - most of the orthopedist are just money greed and do not care at all for your health!
Hi man, could I ask you a few more questions about ur recovery? I’m going through the same thing/really similar and would love some advice. what is the best way to contact you?
Most excellent. I'm soon to be 70, all kinds of hip pain the past several years, even walking with a slight limp for a bit. Tight & weak hip flexors along with old man weak everything else. Got rid of it by getting back into strength training. I can verify that getting your glutes strong, along with hamstrings & quads is definitely the key. Strength training is the fountain of youth, even if you're not consistent all the time. I trained very solid since last February, but dropped the ball a bit in mid March this year. Still no hip pain now, lol..... lil' bit goes a long way indeed. I definitely will be hitting it hard again soon. No future in weakness, that's for sure.
You are the truth!💯💯💯 I found your channel about a month ago and it’s literally changing my life! I’ve been diagnosed with hip arthritis also have vertebraebones spur from arthritis in my spine/back and arthritis in my spine/neck. I download several of your videos here on TH-cam, I do the exercises every day targeting my glutes. The constant pain I’ve have in my left thigh and groin has lessened over the past week. My spine specialist doctor and pain management doctor constantly suggest hip replacement surgery and pain med which I refuse to take because I don’t like feeling drowsy most of the day or feeling brain fog. I will be 60 years old on August 8th. In all my life, I’ve never drank alcohol not even win. I’ve never smoked any cigarettes of any kind and never takin any narcotics drugs of any kind. I am Professional Vocalist/Dancer of 40 years. Arthritis is genetic in my family. my mom and two of my sisters has arthritis. I perform high energy shows on cruise ships haven’t worked since November of last year. I recovered from hysterectomy surgery in April. I am about to start work again on the cruise ship. and a couple weeks. Your physical therapy treatment videos has been helping me tremendously. I started dealing with other writers around eight years ago. The arthritis has progressed from high energy dance performances over the years as I’m getting older. Doing the physical therapy exercises targeting the arthritis pain is a lifetime commitment I am on board with.😊👍🏽😍 I’m so grateful I found your TH-cam channel. Thank you for sharing your great work of healing. ❤️🩹🙏🏽
I was diagnosed with hip OA 3 years ago and l opted to start an exercise regime vs surgery. I am a PT and got plenty flack for my decision. I do subscribe to conservative management first.
It makes sense. I have little pain, but loss of ROM is main concern for me. This time last year I played soccer at 70%, but I played. And I wanted to find out what's wrong with my ROM, with my hips, with my muscles around hips. So I took x-ray where I'm been diagnosed wit hip OA. And every single doctor (I've seen 5-6 ) said it is for surgery... And here's the funny thing - that's the point where things for me were starting to get worse, when I'm being TOLD I have hip OA. I've been told to stop playing soccer because that's bad for me, bad for my hips. So, what does brain decides to do in this situation - tight those hip muscles even more, because there is a "problem" with hip joint... Now, I've been going several months to PT, and we are mostly working on glutes and hamstrings and it is a little better, but the main goal we are focusing, through correct way of breathing while doing exercises, is to tell the brain that it is not that big of a deal down there, to loosen up those muscles. And I know that is a master level to accomplish, but I will never give up and avoid suggested surgery as much as possible... I like my parts :)
I am making GREAT progress after a week of Glute exercises squeezing and exercising your butt.... not painless yet but a very significant reduction of pain every time I stand up...great advice
Hi. I’m 72 year old woman bearing 42 kilos and having a height of 5 ft. I still train regularly, doing boxing, strength training, ( no more than 4 kilos) push ups, sit ups, burbees, jumping jacks (on a rebounder) and other cardio exercises. I also follow the knee’s over toes guy, and until recently I felt full of strength and enjoyed very good health. Also very flexible. However lately I was getting this hip pain and diagnosed with tronchateric bursitis. I did therapy and went back to training. Again I got this hip pain and it has now moved to my groin in both legs that with every step I make I get pain. Lately I was aiming to do the deep squats ( I could do normal squats without any problems), and am thinking this could have done some damage? I’m doing the glutes exercises as you so well explained but haven’t seen any progress. I will not be seen by doctors as, as you explained they go to the same conclusion of age related arthritis. Can you please help? Many thanks and keep up your good work.
You are absolutely sent from God! Thank you thank you! I’ve shared your video with friends living in South-Africa! I’m going to do your program! You’re the best! God bless 🩵
Hello Sun Star! Thank you so much for spreading the word we are so glad this has helped! Please let us know if you need any guidance on how to get started, we can't wait for you to begin! 🧡
I had Legg Calve Perthes when I was a child. My hip has developed Arthritis. I workout regularly. I've yo-yoed on my weight and am on my way back down. I'm going to start doing some single leg glute bridges on the affected hip and hopefully that will make it better.
Doctor David I'm wondering how long should I allow myself to stay in phase one of your hip recovery program if I'm not progressed Before I decide to have surgery I really don't want to have surgery...... And I'm wondering how Much time should I spend in phase one?
I went through six months of physical therapy for my low back spine curvature issue and now my hips are hurting all the time. You make the most sense of the hip problem I have ever heard. I could have saved the $2,000 and followed your program for better mobility. I'm impressed.
Hi Yvonne, we are so sorry that you had to endure all of that! We are glad that we were able to provide some clarity and help you find relief! We will link our hip arthritis playlist below for you: “Hip Arthritis Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mbICbP6qlXUZwMyAJlKD1dt.html Please keep us posted on your progress 🧡
Everything you said as a reason as to why I have hip Arthritis is exactly what every health care professional has told me over and over again.Thank you for your insight
Great video Dr. Dave! You are sooo right. Unfortunately, my butt is flat, so I guess I have to fix my ass!! LOL!! I will look up your videos on how to do that. Many thanks!
Hi Elppedro, Thanks for the kind words. We are so sorry to hear that you suffering from hip arthritis. We know how uncomfortable it is to deal with and we hope you feel better soon. Some of us in the office suffer from "nobuttatall" too.🤣 If we can do it you can too but from personal experience, it took some time to get those glutes to fire off so be patient with yourself if you don't happen to get it right at first. We have a hip arthritis help playlist that has exercises that you might find helpful. 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 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!
Hey i am 26 year old. I had mpfl ligament tear with cartilage loss since then i had severe pain couldnt recover from it the pain got worst..

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Hey thanks for replying Dr David. I have a question - can we stop the hip joint space reduction? Also I have started doing the exercises recommended by you. Is it normal for people having joint spaces reduced? I don't have much pain now in hips but I really want to stop the progress I don't want to have any surgery. Doctors haven't said that I need anything for now but scared me that may be in 6 7 years I might if we don't stop it.. I will do anything to stop the progress of this. Is having glucosamine and milk with turmeric help?
After seeing your video, I checked and realized I no longer had active glues due to my job doing years of sitting.After doing some of your exercises my glutes are back.But could this new butt now be causing me sciatica with periformis problems?
Thanks for your honesty about the Old ways to the New ways that doctors treat arthritis overall. I've been doing the butt exercises: while siting squeezing the buttocks, as well as standing up. Also do the stairs holding while going up & down & walking. How do I not increase the front thigh area while strengthening the glutes? I'm in PT & should I make it clear to work glutes only? Thanks.
This was very informative and inspiring. I have hip osteoarthritis, I am 70 years old and I have heard all the reasons you mentioned. Thank you for the link I’ll be following !
Had right hip problems due to how I walked or the walking shoes I used. I stopped and did some exercises as shown here. The pains subsided and sadly started I started to walk again with the same shoes etc.This aggravated the problem so I have to start over. This time the aggravated problem put the quads in my legs into severe spasms and excruciating pain. 😢.When the spasms ease I will pay closer attention to your hip arth.recovery program.
Hi there why I listen to you is because whatever you are saying his the facts,of true! It really does help , and you gain something from the pain you feeling because you have to do the exercises for them , to help you and let you get back to what you used to be to do in life without having to deal with terrible pain!

I just really love your excellent videos about hip/knees. I am living in London, the last 2 years I only had about 60 minutes so called physio from NHS (they gave me exc.sheets, nothing else). Weekly doing at least 3 classes ( Zumba for over 55 and Pilates) I am determent not to have surgery. As per your suggestion I bought a massage gun too. Please advice what else would you suggest to do. Your generous sharing it's just excellent. Best Suzanne from London
Hi Suzanne, Thank you so much for your kind words, Suzanne! We are so sorry you haven't received the level of care you'd hoped for.

😊thank you this is true i had hip arthritis in my thirties and i was always thin it got worse and became bone on bone and than it fractured . It was crazy I was on crutches for 9 months was supposed to be for 6 weeks a year later I needed a hip replacement
@@sandydadson2431 yes I did get the hip replacement back in 2020 and thank God I have no more pain or problems I must say it was painful and it took a year to heal but everybody's different it's because I had many problems with my hip before I had the hip replacement but actually I'm glad I got it done I wish you well may God give you wisdom and healing🙏♥️
I have taken Cortizone injections on my Buttocks when I was 32 years old. I have hip Arthritis and lower back spine has Arthritis. My entire lower back, spine and buttocks extremely painful and it lasts for many days. My pain is on each and every joint and the pain is constant and sometimes it is severe and unbearable and stiffness. I am in Toronto for 24 years and NO SPECIALIST ARE THERE TO HELP. Please help. Thank you 🙏
I have osteoarthritis & have had both my knees replaced. After having that done then the arthritis & pain moved elsewhere. It felt like it was my hips, but it was actually in my lower back. I've had steroid shots done on my lower back several times. However, last month my pain management doctor burned all the nerves in my lower back. I still have some pain, but it's not as severe. Plus I'm more stable when I'm walking. I was told it will take 3 or 4 months before the nerves start to grow back. When they do, I will definitely have them burned again. You might check into having that done. It has certainly helped me. Have a great day!!!!
@@jeanninetobias980 Where are you living? Thank you 🙏. I really don’t want to burn my nerves. I have taken several injections for my pain ALL OVER MY BODY FOR once a week for 6 weeks. It made me more painful and stiffness. Thank you 🙏

I have been doing Judo for over thirty years. I had a hip injury in 2008, and hip pain has been increasing since then. The pain has now hampered my ability to do Judo. I never went to PT, but I did go to a surgeon. When I explained the pain that I felt in the front and outside of my femoral head, he flat out said, "That's not your hip." He then said that I was a candidate for hip replacement for each hip. I'm going to find some PT. This surgeon is doing double talk.
I really do believe this theory and I’m going to be doing exercises I just got through moving took every bit of a month and a half and still working on the shed which is for leather crafting I’m doing up grades to it I’m tired sore but will get rested soon and my hip will get better ❤️🩹

I’m so grateful I found your TH-cam channel. Thank you for sharing your great work of healing. ❤️🩹🙏🏽
I was diagnosed with hip OA 3 years ago and l opted to start an exercise regime vs surgery. I am a PT and got plenty flack for my decision. I do subscribe to conservative management first.
How did it go? Were you able to stay active and avoid the replacement?
It makes sense. I have little pain, but loss of ROM is main concern for me. This time last year I played soccer at 70%, but I played. And I wanted to find out what's wrong with my ROM, with my hips, with my muscles around hips. So I took x-ray where I'm been diagnosed wit hip OA. And every single doctor (I've seen 5-6 ) said it is for surgery...
And here's the funny thing - that's the point where things for me were starting to get worse, when I'm being TOLD I have hip OA. I've been told to stop playing soccer because that's bad for me, bad for my hips. So, what does brain decides to do in this situation - tight those hip muscles even more, because there is a "problem" with hip joint...
Now, I've been going several months to PT, and we are mostly working on glutes and hamstrings and it is a little better, but the main goal we are focusing, through correct way of breathing while doing exercises, is to tell the brain that it is not that big of a deal down there, to loosen up those muscles. And I know that is a master level to accomplish, but I will never give up and avoid suggested surgery as much as possible... I like my parts :)
I am making GREAT progress after a week of Glute exercises squeezing and exercising your butt.... not painless yet but a very significant reduction of pain every time I stand up...great advice
Hi. I’m 72 year old woman bearing 42 kilos and having a height of 5 ft. I still train regularly, doing boxing, strength training, ( no more than 4 kilos) push ups, sit ups, burbees, jumping jacks (on a rebounder) and other cardio exercises. I also follow the knee’s over toes guy, and until recently I felt full of strength and enjoyed very good health. Also very flexible. However lately I was getting this hip pain and diagnosed with tronchateric bursitis. I did therapy and went back to training. Again I got this hip pain and it has now moved to my groin in both legs that with every step I make I get pain. Lately I was aiming to do the deep squats ( I could do normal squats without any problems), and am thinking this could have done some damage? I’m doing the glutes exercises as you so well explained but haven’t seen any progress. I will not be seen by doctors as, as you explained they go to the same conclusion of age related arthritis. Can you please help? Many thanks and keep up your good work.
Thank you for your knowledge🙏
Thank you. Your video is very informative. Good Luck to you and your TH-cam channel.
You are absolutely sent from God! Thank you thank you! I’ve shared your video with friends living in South-Africa! I’m going to do your program! You’re the best! God bless 🩵
Hello Sun Star!
Thank you so much for spreading the word we are so glad this has helped!
Please let us know if you need any guidance on how to get started, we can't wait for you to begin! 🧡
I had Legg Calve Perthes when I was a child. My hip has developed Arthritis. I workout regularly. I've yo-yoed on my weight and am on my way back down. I'm going to start doing some single leg glute bridges on the affected hip and hopefully that will make it better.
Thank you for being truthful.
Tried of the lies about hip arthritis.
God bless 🙌 doctor David Middaugh🙏
Doctor David I'm wondering how long should I allow myself to stay in phase one of your hip recovery program if I'm not progressed Before I decide to have surgery I really don't want to have surgery...... And I'm wondering how Much time should I spend in phase one?
I went through six months of physical therapy for my low back spine curvature issue and now my hips are hurting all the time. You make the most sense of the hip problem I have ever heard. I could have saved the $2,000 and followed your program for better mobility. I'm impressed.
Hi Yvonne, we are so sorry that you had to endure all of that! We are glad that we were able to provide some clarity and help you find relief! We will link our hip arthritis playlist below for you:

Everything you said as a reason as to why I have hip Arthritis is exactly what every health care professional has told me over and over again.Thank you for your insight
Great video Dr. Dave! You are sooo right. Unfortunately, my butt is flat, so I guess I have to fix my ass!! LOL!! I will look up your videos on how to do that. Many thanks!
Hi Elppedro, Thanks for the kind words. We are so sorry to hear that you suffering from hip arthritis. We know how uncomfortable it is to deal with and we hope you feel better soon. Some of us in the office suffer from "nobuttatall" too.🤣 If we can do it you can too but from personal experience, it took some time to get those glutes to fire off so be patient with yourself if you don't happen to get it right at first.
We have a hip arthritis help playlist that has exercises that you might find helpful. 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 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 had weak muscles in all aspects of my hip. I have been able improve it greatly with exercises, my X-ray showed a good prognosis in joint space
God bless you and your efforts.
Thank you soooo much Dr David 🙏 You are truly a Godsend to us all. Very grateful for your generous help..I shall get started immediately. 😊
You are so very welcome Lesly! Thank you for your kind words, we are so glad we have been able to provide you with some relief! We appreciate you 🧡

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Hey thanks for replying Dr David.
I have a question - can we stop the hip joint space reduction?
Also I have started doing the exercises recommended by you.
Is it normal for people having joint spaces reduced?
I don't have much pain now in hips but I really want to stop the progress I don't want to have any surgery.
Doctors haven't said that I need anything for now but scared me that may be in 6 7 years I might if we don't stop it..
I will do anything to stop the progress of this.
Is having glucosamine and milk with turmeric help?
So very, very grateful for you! 💗
Does this also apply to knees?
You are so helpful.
Thank you Lorena! 🌟
After seeing your video, I checked and realized I no longer had active glues due to my job doing years of sitting.After doing some of your exercises my glutes are back.But could this new butt now be causing me sciatica with periformis problems?
Thanks for your honesty about the Old ways to the New ways that doctors treat arthritis overall. I've been doing the butt exercises: while siting squeezing the buttocks, as well as standing up. Also do the stairs holding while going up & down & walking. How do I not increase the front thigh area while strengthening the glutes? I'm in PT & should I make it clear to work glutes only? Thanks.
What exercises can I do for arthritis and in your knee? I try do squats but knee hurts🤦🏻♀️
This was very informative and inspiring. I have hip osteoarthritis, I am 70 years old and I have heard all the reasons you mentioned. Thank you for the link I’ll be following !
Thank you Dr very much .
. please do the glutes muscles exercises which recommended for knee OA can makes scatica or coccyx pain worse ?
Had right hip problems due to how I walked or the walking shoes I used. I stopped and did some exercises as shown here. The pains subsided and sadly started I started to walk again with the same shoes etc.This aggravated the problem so I have to start over. This time the aggravated problem put the quads in my legs into severe spasms and excruciating pain. 😢.When the spasms ease I will pay closer attention to your hip arth.recovery program.

Hi Suzanne, Thank you so much for your kind words, Suzanne! We are so sorry you haven't received the level of care you'd hoped for. It's great to hear that you're staying active with Zumba and Pilates, but we understand that some moves might not be ideal for hip arthritis.

😊thank you this is true i had hip arthritis in my thirties and i was always thin it got worse and became bone on bone and than it fractured . It was crazy I was on crutches for 9 months was supposed to be for 6 weeks a year later I needed a hip replacement
Hello did u get the hip replacement surgery and did it work??? Am in the same situation but am only in my 30s
@@sandydadson2431 yes I did get the hip replacement back in 2020 and thank God I have no more pain or problems I must say it was painful and it took a year to heal but everybody's different it's because I had many problems with my hip before I had the hip replacement but actually I'm glad I got it done I wish you well may God give you wisdom and healing🙏♥️
I have taken Cortizone injections on my Buttocks when I was 32 years old. I have hip Arthritis and lower back spine has Arthritis. My entire lower back, spine and buttocks extremely painful and it lasts for many days. My pain is on each and every joint and the pain is constant and sometimes it is severe and unbearable and stiffness. I am in Toronto for 24 years and NO SPECIALIST ARE THERE TO HELP. Please help. Thank you 🙏
I have osteoarthritis & have had both my knees replaced. After having that done then the arthritis & pain moved elsewhere. It felt like it was my hips, but it was actually in my lower back. I've had steroid shots done on my lower back several times. However, last month my pain management doctor burned all the nerves in my lower back.
I still have some pain, but it's not as severe. Plus I'm more stable when I'm walking. I was told it will take 3 or 4 months before the nerves start to grow back. When they do, I will definitely have them burned again.
You might check into having that done. It has certainly helped me.
Have a great day!!!!
@@jeanninetobias980 Where are you living? Thank you 🙏. I really don’t want to burn my nerves. I have taken several injections for my pain ALL OVER MY BODY FOR once a week for 6 weeks. It made me more painful and stiffness. Thank you 🙏

I have been doing Judo for over thirty years. I had a hip injury in 2008, and hip pain has been increasing since then. The pain has now hampered my ability to do Judo. I never went to PT, but I did go to a surgeon. When I explained the pain that I felt in the front and outside of my femoral head, he flat out said, "That's not your hip." He then said that I was a candidate for hip replacement for each hip.
I'm going to find some PT. This surgeon is doing double talk.
I really do believe this theory and I’m going to be doing exercises I just got through moving took every bit of a month and a half and still working on the shed which is for leather crafting I’m doing up grades to it I’m tired sore but will get rested soon and my hip will get better ❤️🩹
