I fully agree with you as someone who initially did clamshells for hip pain. In another video of yours, you demonstrated a sitting version of the clamshell which I tolerate better, but don't put a ton of effort into it or it can aggravate. A side-lying clamshell without a pillow between my legs also causes pain, so I just avoid side-lying clamshells.
Please read till last : I always get severe pain on the side of my right hip whenever I do clamshells I just couldn't understand why because everybody on RUclips said that clamshells are good for glute mid strengthening ... Thanks for the video doc! Will try your exercises. My side hip is probably inflammed as of now because of all the clamshells in the last 4 days and it hurts like hell. Should I do your exercise with this pain or should I start after the inflammation is tolerable? Also, whenever I tried to do the side plank and clamshells together(with my painful side facing the ground) I always got extremely high pain on my right lower back. Could the compression that happens to the side that faces the ground be the issue here doc?
@@PerformanceSportSpine I would seriously consider that, but would it offer much help if you could not physically do a in person examination? I love your channel ❤️ thank you for all the valuable info!!!
It is either too challenging at this point of time or causing compression. For the later try putting a large pillow between your legs to keep the top leg out of adduction
At 3:54 I think you mixed the two labels of the incorrect and correct form. It shows the knee bending forward as “correct”. I don’t know if it is or is not, but it seems the opposite of your instructions.
@@PerformanceSportSpine yes because they target the anterior part better while leg raises target the middle and superior fibers. The anterior portion is more important for pelvic stability and support. There’s no one size fits all for a single muscle. There are different parts with different functions.

Yes, the sitting version is great option. A pillow can help, but glad to hear you are avoiding them. Thanks for watching!

You need to let the tissue calm down before you start and exercises/rehab
Thank you for posting this I have one knee which is bone on bone so I can’t put weight on it but I do the ones I can 😊
You are most welcome! Thanks for watcing
Which side do you use in all these exercises isr? The good side or bad side? You only stated the side to use in the first exercise.
Do 2 sets of both sides, painful and non
Great Content! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
What do you think of the fire hydrant?
It's good. Just don't bring your leg up to much (hip flexion)
is this exercise bad for anterior pelvic tilt?
No, and anterior pelvic tilt is from genetics/bone morphology, not tight/weak muscles
I can't do any of these hinges / squat motions burn/irritate my side and front hipish area, help😮 help

Hi doc, I just found out that doing side lying abductions also have the same effect as clamshells... Any ideas why?

Yes we did get these mixed up, thanks for letting me know. Didn't catch it in final editing
Feels like clamshells target anterior portion better. Doing them seated anyway
The point is that they activate a very low amount of the muscle
