I started having sciatica pain after posterior hip replacement. Your videos have made quite a difference, but now I find I’m a little off balance. I guess it was from favoring the leg on the side the sciatica is. Any suggestions as to exercises to gain my balance.
I have a question. I’ve been told while lying I. Spinx position it’s ok to write or draw. I have posture problems I get in Sphinx but I notice I’m putting pressure on neck . Please help
I feel that my hip is separating from my back bone (s1). I can hear it pop when I do unnatural stretch to stop the pain. I have degenerative disc desease. Because of restricted flow, i walk 2.5 to 5 miles a day. Very painful.
This hips series really help me out a lot especially dealing with a chronic; MS cuz you also dealing with spasticity where the hips are super tight and stiff can you do a video for people who have MS?
Thanks guys. I need to hear that. My knees have been jacked up for decades from plies and step aerobics and now osteoarthritis. But this video makes me realize that my knees have probably made things worse by weakening my quads and my hips. It’s a vicious cycle as the saying goes.
1) Difficulty to get out of chair 2) Hips turn to opposite side when a leg is lifted 3) Knees turn in 4) Poor balance 5) Trouble going up and down stairs 6) hip pain
@@lashondahursey6116 my hips are even worse now. Not sure what’s going on. I’ve been walking and trying to do different hip exercises but they are still stiff and so weak. Had X-rays done. Nothing is broken or anything so I guess it’s just age and wear and tear. I just know they hurt really bad every day all day.
I'm 55 with severe arthritis in one hip. My doctor wants me to wait as long as possible for hip replacement, but I can tell that it is affecting other areas. Should I go ahead and get it replaced or wait?
I am 51 & also have severe arthritis in my right hip, waiting for a hip replacement here in the uk & I can't wait to be honest, simply because the pain really does get worse as time goes on even on super strength painkillers, it's been 18 months over for me, new hip means no pain after its healed & I look forward to that time. Good luck either way if you choose to have the replacement or not 😁
I was in the same boat as you, severe arthritis in L hip, put it off for two years , had it done last June at New England Baptist in Boston ( in between the elective surgery covid shut downs ).. I’m not over weight by any means but I couldn’t put my left sock on ( not even close )…getting the hip done was the best thing I’ve ever done , I wish I had done it sooner , don’t wait ! , the problem I’ve found is the longer you wait , the stiffer all your working muscles around your hip stiffen, it’s taken me almost a full year to finally be able to get my left sock on ( and I’ve been following a rigorous stretching routine since the surgery ) it’s so incredibly nice to have full mobility again .
@@kazzie2935 prayers for you. So far, I'm taking meloxicam and Tylenol. The doctor says I'm almost bone on bone. Avoiding sugar altogether has helped some with inflammation.
@@johnmellyn2700 thank you so much for your input. This is the kind of information I was looking for. I feel as if the other leg and hip is withstanding more strain and wondering if I'm jeopardizing it.
@@tracygarns9611 your very welcome,… I’m almost same age as you (56)… the only reason I could see putting it off would be because you don’t want to have to do it again in this life time ,.. I just had my one year check up and was told that new information is showing that the hip replacements they are currently using should last 25 plus years , ( how they can determine that is beyond me , but they’re the professionals not me ) good luck with the surgery, follow all their recommendations and don’t rush the physical therapy, within months you’ll be kicking yourself for waiting so long to have it done ( believe me when I say it,… you don’t realize how bad you’ve let it get , until you start see the simple things come back ….such as being able to lift your knee up high enough to dry your entire leg with a towel when you step out of the shower , sit down onto a seat without using your arm to lower yourself down, not waking up 4 times a night because you drew your leg up while you were sleeping and got that shot of pain, being able to walk upstairs without having to put both feet on each step with a death grip on the hand rail, having to close your car door by the doorframe near the mirror because you can’t reach the armrest etc etc etc.)
Former avid walker. Both my hips are now bone on bone from becoming lazy and sedentary =overweight. Facing surgeries in my near future. Regrets. Pay attention, folks. You only get one body.
Try some exercises & stretches for weak areas before giving up. Surgery doesn't always help. It won't make your muscles stronger. It's not like once you get out of shape for whatever reason you stay that way forever. Fat people can exercise. Nothing is stopping you except a defeatist attitude.

I have been having a lot of knee pain recently so I went to my physical therapist and she told me my hip muscles were very weak and could be contributing to the knee pain. Seems she was right because after working out my hips my knee pain is almost gone.
did you have hip pain or hip symptoms before that though ? I don't have apparent hip problems but my knees are a hot mess. That is why I want to know. /Thanks.
Hips, calves, quads, ankles, glutes and toes are what I work on, as well as the knee itself, to strengthen mine. Haven't felt so good in a decade. My Physio told me "Sorry, but you have to realise that you are going to have to keep these stretches and strengthening exercises up for life"
@@triarb5790 In my tests everything comes normal. While my entire body muscles are weak including legs the most. Also my knees, ankles and spaces between hand / foot fingers produce extreme painful popping sound. Also I can't stand still as my legs use to start shivering. Sometimes massage helps but rarely I ever get rid of it. I don't usually masturbate or involve in any sexual activity but if I do every rarely I feel super weak specially in my leg and hip muscles. I have been visiting a doctor and taking medications and have never found any good results. I'm only 22 and been suffering from this problem since last 3-4 years.. No one is able to spot where the problem is or what the heck the disease is. Please help. Just in case you don't know I have a good diet plus have been working out for over a year now!
@@tiabiamama wow, you're right about that, and we never even met! I have Fibromyalgia, but can't take anything for pain, due to my blood thinner. Actually, I could take Tylenol, but I am allergic to it lol
😂 The skeleton! 🤣 Thanks B&B. Bought your muscle massage gun this week from your UK store on Amazon. Thanks for making them available over here and saving me hours of trawling reviews trying to find the right one. My hubby is a c3/4 incomplete tetraplegic with spasticity and high muscle tone and this has really helped relax off some muscles in his hands/arms/pecs/shoulders. Wish we had had it years ago. Hoping it will help with my sciatica too. I have got weak hips from long covid (inactivity) and stomach ulcers (leaning forward and to one side for months). I can’t bend down without keeping my one leg straight for support. I’m 43! Slim. Maybe it’s menopause. But my hips kick out occasionally recently like you have shown. I Defo need to do some work on that. Thank you so much from me and my husband!
I fell onto right side 9 years ago and felt that weak & sore glutes were the issue. This is great and strengthening muscles has been key for me. Thank you for this, I was very happy to find this, I’ve followed and watched your videos for years now, for many issues. Thx!!
The car bucket seat is causing a lot of pain for me, specially while driving, is there any thing available to avoid the bucket seat position in the car.
My hips and pelvis have always been weak. I also cannot get back up if I squat near the ground. I've always had knock knees too, with flat feet. I'm a mess🤣
I know my right hip is weak, having injured it in a very painful manner seven years ago. I can't climb stairs without a lot of help (using the railing and my quad cane together). I do know I have to at least attempt to strengthen my hips---I'm only 68---because I don't want to go from a cane to a walker, or worse, become dependent on others to help me all the time. And I flat out refuse to get a 'stand-lift' recliner when I get my new furniture for my new apartment; I don't want to be dependent on something mechanical to get myself up when I can strengthen my muscles!
I so wish you had cardio and strength workout videos. I will check the website, to see if as a complete lay person, I might learn a bit what different muscles are called
The general answer to life problems seems to be bridges. just a joke. Therefore christians I think we need to pray to god for deliverance of the bridge to the elderly.
I keep finding gems of knowledge in your videos. I was just looking at the weakness in my hip and sure enough, I had bursitis and never knew what was could be causing it!
Bob & Brad I have a question: I have been knock kneed all my life ; as far as I know, was born with the tendency. I'm a senior now with RA and OA ; I don't have hip pain but every other pain, especially my knees ( one in particular that is horrendous and swells daily ) My rheumatologist drains it now and then and I am on tons of intense meds include chemo for it all. My question is , can I DO something about being knock kneed ? The very first arthritis doc I had , told me that is why my knees were bad. But nobody else ever mentioned it or if it is fixable or at least can I strengthen supporting muscles for it.. I know my quads and hamstrings are weak and tight. probably everything below the knee as well.
Muscle weakness including the hips can also be due to other things. Some common symptoms of Pompe Disease are difficulty rising from a chair and going up stairs.
I have trouble getting up from low chairs, I had 2 knee replacements and lost range of motion (knees don’t go to 90 degrees) I have no other symptoms you described. Balance is great I am excellent physical shape. Have trouble going downstairs because my knees can’t bend close enough to place footing correctly.
I believe many people can relate to the symptoms you describe. The information provides your viewers the knowledge necessary to maintain physical health and understand how to improve areas of weakness, pain issues, and in some cases, how to avoid surgical procedures.
Hi guys! Thanks for everything you're doing:) First, I have all the symptoms you mentioned of a weak hip resulting from a bad lower back, or so I've been told. How do you know when exercise isn't enough, and you need a hip replacement?
love your videos, but GUYS!... your audio work is STILL absolutely awful and unprofessional. Pls. make a 'normal' volume when recording, so we don't have to turn up to 'max'... when I forget about it and watch a video of another channel after one of your videos, it almost gives me a heart attack.

After being down and many surgeries, nerve and bone problems, Myofacial, other muscular problems, weight loss to 92 lbs. Ive begged for rehab to get me out of wheelchair, just getting weaker.

Am 25 who had internal tibial torsion when i was young and still walked in with my feets years a go.. made me look clumsy and stiff which always have made me feel like the black sheep and stupid.. my right hip is tighter and due to that i’ve sort of been limping and overuse my knees, calfs and ankels (which required an unnecessary amount of energy..) been trying to only focus on the front hips now and its mobility and strenght.. and its showing result! How i wish i thought bout this many years a go lol but better now then never i guess
thank goodness I found this silly video. the content is anything but silly. I am living with weak hips since covid lock in. who knew we were going to spend 18 months sitting on our butts. and that it would make us old people. Yup. glad I found ya'll. Yee Haw from the great state of Texas.
Hi doctors how are you are you ok is my problem I can't walk I have a problem with my legs All Pakistani doctors say you can't be cured Is there any doctor among you who can treat me so that I can get back on my feet?
I like you, but you are seem to be dealing with people who don't have a clue about fitness. I am 71 years old and would like to prevent aging deterioration as best I can. I try to do yoga every day and balance exercises. I am sure there are things you could help me do to prolong my active life. These instructions are not helpful.
I have no problem getting out a car, but I have a problem lifting my left leg into the car. I can sit in fine almost all my body, but then lifting the leg in hurts. Getting out is easy, I don't need to hold on anything. It's been like this for a couple of months.
My sciatica hampers me from doing many of the activities you state are due to weak hips; getting up out of a chair (or toilet), going up stairs, etc. I walk 2-3 miles 5 times a week. I also swim. Squats are an issue due to the sciatica too.
We have videos on how to help all those things if you go to the search function on our RUclips channel, you can look up key words to bring up specific issues to find relief for. Best of luck!
i get pain in the front of my hips when walking after about 400 steps i have to stop & rest for 2 minutes , as i carry on in the end i have to sit down for a while i keep trying to go through the pain barrier hoping they will strengthen but it doesn't seem to work , after a while its painful to lift my leg up , i am 77 years of age and i still train in my home gym
These guys are right on, I had tkr a few months ago and my therapist has me doing hip strengthening exercises also along with the knee replacement exercises.
I be got lots of homework to do to watch all your hips ones I still think I have so as that nodule on my right side back hurts. I did clams bridges and resistance to strengthen pelvis. It helps
have all those symptoms. But I also suffer from High grade 2 spondylolethesis. Had left knee replaced 5 years ago, and rt one needs replacement as well, Im a mess due to a slip and fall back in 2010. constant pain.

You can strengthen a weak hip by lifting the opposite heel when standing in place to place weight on the weak side.
Muscle weakness including the hips can also be due to other things. Some common symptoms of Pompe Disease are difficulty rising from a chair and going up stairs.
I love the fact you are organizing the videos. You are great.
I have trouble getting up from low chairs, I had 2 knee replacements and lost range of motion (knees don’t go to 90 degrees) I have no other symptoms you described. Balance is great I am excellent physical shape. Have trouble going downstairs because my knees can’t bend close enough to place footing correctly.
I believe many people can relate to the symptoms you describe. The information provides your viewers the knowledge necessary to maintain physical health and understand how to improve areas of weakness, pain issues, and in some cases, how to avoid surgical procedures.
Thank you Bob & Brad.
I love your videos, a wealth of information!
Hi guys! Thanks for everything you're doing:) First, I have all the symptoms you mentioned of a weak hip resulting from a bad lower back, or so I've been told. How do you know when exercise isn't enough, and you need a hip replacement?
love your videos, but GUYS!... your audio work is STILL absolutely awful and unprofessional. Pls. make a 'normal' volume when recording, so we don't have to turn up to 'max'... when I forget about it and watch a video of another channel after one of your videos, it almost gives me a heart attack. Watching a video with CC is not something I recommend, because people have to focus on the CC, not on what you are showing. UNSUBSCRIBED
I know i have problems. I use a grab bar in bathroom to lift off camode. I have degen. disks L's & S's. Mild, moderate and severe. Docs did 8 nerve 'burns'. RFA. The worse were lower and idk why but the pain mgmt doc didn't start lowest, but left cpl lower severe. I think so that the ones some weren't all the severe ones. W a 50/50 chance of good outcome. I have a friend who had this done 3 r 4 times to several. Her out come was
Nice information thanks love from India
Thanks to you I will have better hips for the rest of my life. Thank you so much. Synchronicity. ❤️
Thank You so much, my hips are week.
Where is best way to contact you for urgent help. Im Chronically ill with multi auto immune diseases. After being down and many surgeries, nerve and bone problems, Myofacial, other muscular problems, weight loss to 92 lbs. Ive begged for rehab to get me out of wheelchair, just getting weaker. Cant get full diagnoses from 9 docs. Home Rehab wont work with me until doctors control the pain so, they can build me, all docs say no so here I sit. How do I start to do this on my own with no pain help or other symptom help? Thanks for info, Peace
Am 25 who had internal tibial torsion when i was young and still walked in with my feets years a go.. made me look clumsy and stiff which always have made me feel like the black sheep and stupid.. my right hip is tighter and due to that i’ve sort of been limping and overuse my knees, calfs and ankels (which required an unnecessary amount of energy..) been trying to only focus on the front hips now and its mobility and strenght.. and its showing result! How i wish i thought bout this many years a go lol but better now then never i guess
I had that couldn’t get up from a chair. Daily I did 2 things
Stand in Horse stance counting to 100
Twice a day get up from a Lunge
thank goodness I found this silly video. the content is anything but silly. I am living with weak hips since covid lock in. who knew we were going to spend 18 months sitting on our butts. and that it would make us old people. Yup. glad I found ya'll. Yee Haw from the great state of Texas.
Hi doctors how are you are you ok is my problem
I can't walk I have a problem with my legs
All Pakistani doctors say you can't be cured
Is there any doctor among you who can treat me so that I can get back on my feet?
Yup, that's exactly how i have to get up from sitting.
I like you, but you are seem to be dealing with people who don't have a clue about fitness. I am 71 years old and would like to prevent aging deterioration as best I can. I try to do yoga every day and balance exercises. I am sure there are things you could help me do to prolong my active life. These instructions are not helpful.
when i do knee up, my lower leg keeps tilting 45 degree inwards, i have a hard time keeping it vertical parallel to my body. what is it called?
I have no problem getting out a car, but I have a problem lifting my left leg into the car. I can sit in fine almost all my body, but then lifting the leg in hurts. Getting out is easy, I don't need to hold on anything.
It's been like this for a couple of months.
You guys are awesome. Keep bringing the great content.
I have piriformis syndrome and for years have been trying to strengthen my hip muscles to no avail. Is there any hope for me? 😢
They have more videos and also try keto. Go to Dr.Burg on RUclips
My sciatica hampers me from doing many of the activities you state are due to weak hips; getting up out of a chair (or toilet), going up stairs, etc. I walk 2-3 miles 5 times a week. I also swim. Squats are an issue due to the sciatica too.
We have videos on how to help all those things if you go to the search function on our RUclips channel, you can look up key words to bring up specific issues to find relief for. Best of luck!
Icing my knee and thus came up....thank you gentlemen!
Should I stretch my weak hip flexor and then strengthen it?
i get pain in the front of my hips when walking after about 400 steps i have to stop & rest for 2 minutes , as i carry on in the end i have to sit down for a while i keep trying to go through the pain barrier hoping they will strengthen but it doesn't seem to work , after a while its painful to lift my leg up , i am 77 years of age and i still train in my home gym
Anyone got a emg because their hip flexors were weak painful and tight
These guys are right on, I had tkr a few months ago and my therapist has me doing hip strengthening exercises also along with the knee replacement exercises.
A pdf? Yay!

Gee l thought l was just butt heavy when l rise from a chair.
I be got lots of homework to do to watch all your hips ones I still think I have so as that nodule on my right side back hurts. I did clams bridges and resistance to strengthen pelvis. It helps
it's not your "hips" that are weak, it's your legs.
Awesome
You both are awesome Sharing all these for free. It's TRUE service Ur doing to humanity. Kudos & Well Done for your time and sharing.
