Is Walking Good For Gluteal Tendinopathy?

I have been suffering with this for a year. My orthopedic doctor originally diagnosed me with bilateral bursitis. Had two injections and obviously didn't help at all. Just recently had an MRI and was diagnosed with bilateral gluteal tendinitis. Another reason why I got worse over the months was doing physical therapy exercises. The stretches make it much worse. I read that stretching is not recommended. I've stopped all exercises except bridges and hip flexion exercises. Thank you for this video!! Very informative.

Walking used to be something I did quite a lot of, and a source of pleasure, enjoyment. Since retirement, and covid I became quite sedentary and I think this is what I'm now dealing with.Seeing a physio, and using a treadmill, which helps, but my symptoms just seem to keep coming back. From your video I think I may not be pacing myself properly. Not even sure of the diagnosis, waiting for an x-ray. After I walk more than usual, especially with weight bearing (even a bundle buggy) or standing for a while, my hip gets weak, wobbly, and can give way, and my glutes can feel heavy. So discouraging. Are these the usual signs of this condition? Will it get better? It's been a long time dealing with this. Thank you.

Horrible. Was, a, very long daily walker to a, YR AGO when this happened. MRI s couldn't find problem that you talk about both in GT AND HIP BURSA. Finally after physio and rest and osteopath, not helping too much, had steroid shots. Made me sorer almost immediately for four days. Tired of resting. Pushing thru pain. Who is going to help me do correct exercises

how often can you do these daily

Thank you for your tips! The video is very informative and helpful. How about cycling? Is it good for the tendon rather than walking? I ride a bike at least three times a week. Unfortunately, I am suffering from hip pain for several days. I have gluteal tendinopathy and it was diagnosed two years ago. It is the second "pain attack". It took me a couple of months to cure the tendon and have no pain. I don't want to leave my routine, workout as well as cycling but I try finding the best "cardio" safe for the tendon. I find it the most important to decrease the level of exercise to recover the tendon.

You are amazing! All of your video are helping me a lot. Would you do video about anterior hip pain also? Thank you😊

In my opinion this lady is so good at her explanations and advice.

Is walking backwards making my bilateral hip bursitis and gluteal/ hamstring tendinitis worse? I need to keep up my balance exercises and walking backwards is one of them. Please respond

Just found your channel. Excellent info thank!

Excellent and very informative. I'm already better with regular GTPS exercises and information gained from your videos . Thank you.

Finally, I have been looking for this information for days, thank you so much for this video!!! A few months ago I was doing 7 mile hill walks no problem, now i can't even walk up one flight of stairs - it's so upsetting. I have an MRI and radiologist report of tendinosis but what good is that without SPECIFIC advice. I will view all the videos and probably book a consult too.

i have to repeat myself . your explanations are the best . I am so thankful . my mistake is to think to be 20 but i am almost 73. i ignored to have days when i should rest. we have a saying : wgo rests, rusts . have a good day.

I think this is my issue. I mostly have pain during sleep and upon standing after sitting for a bit. Doesn't have to be long. I don't have pain when I'm speed walking. So now I am wondering, the stiffness goes after I walk or a bit.

*I'm hyperlax and have gluteal tendinopathy. I've noticed that walking in a hard surface (like the pavement) hurts me more and faster than walking on a soft ground (like walking on a dirt path in the nature, a forest path, ..etc.). And it's also better if it's quite a flat path like you said, not sandy or wobbly, so it doesn't put too much strain in my tendons as I try to maintain my balance.
*Also when I need to walk on hard surface, I use shoes that have a good shock absorbency without being too heavy (I found that the CloudFlow by the brand On Running, are really good for me compared to a lot of shoes I've tried in the past. I wear them every-time I go grocery shopping, or have to walk on the pavement/streets).
Those two points, at least to me, make quite a big difference to how much I can walk in one session without hurting myself too much.

Also, thank you fro those videos. You explain things really well! It's very very helpful and motivating!

Excuse me !!! Sorry I'm not english speaker so i dont know what are u saying in that video!! So may i know the answer of that question?

Thanks for the video:

Can you tell me what side should you sleep on with Gluteal Tendinopathy and how should you position the body while laying down?

👍

Can this happen due to a fall? I landed forcefully on my knees on stone steps. Not a scratch on my knees and I thought I shook it off well and carried on with my activities. I sat down for dinner and when I got up I had a lot of pain in groin area. Over the next couple days the groin pain left and hip pain became quite pronounced with the symptoms you describe.

I have not been diagnosed w this, but it sounds like what I’ve been dealing w for 11 years and been searching for answers w multiple PT and doctor appointments. I’m a healthy and fit 63 year old.

Hey Maryke, my tendon is super sensitive, even going in my bed cause great pain because i have to lift my leg up and when i leave my bed i have to lift it down thats enough to irritate it. My problem is i cant calm it down. 2 month ago i did 25 side leg lifts without trouble then i made endless mistakes and now it can cope with pretty much nothing anymore any idea? its gluteus medius what causes the problem.

Could you give me little advice on what you think I might have.

I started running a lot since the last 6 months. From 0 millage to 60/70k per week.

I started slow, I do have goo training in CrossFit / gym so my toutes are not weak. I think 🤔

I got a cramp in my hip one day and then the next run I had it got really bad and now I can’t even go a 5k without it coming again.

There is a blocked muscle in my calf and I feel also in the back of my glutes.

I do foam rolling and massage with the ball but it’s not getting better.

I rested for 1 week and thought it was fine but when I started running again it comes back.

What you think ?

If I tend to overdo it on my feet, I can actually feel nausea and will vomit my stomach contents for 5 to 8 minutes. My wife thinks there is something dreadfully wrong with me and that I need to see a real doctor. Can anyone confirm the cause of vomiting ??

dr, matic or manual car to drive a good theraphy/streches for cluteal tndoniparhy?

Thank you!

These videos are excellent. Thank you so much. I booked an online appointment as I know I will get great help.

Great info here, thank you! I’m 56 and in menopause; have been walking roughly 4 miles per day for weight mgmt and keep pre-diabetes at bay. Do you recommend any collagen or other supplements that may reduce collagen degradation from menopause? Thoughts on HRT relative to these issues? Thank you so much!

great videos explaining gluteal tendinopathy. I was trying to stretch to reduce the pain, you have explained why that doesn't work. question, for tendon pain does Ice / heat help alleviate? muscle rub treatments?

Can we get this from figure 4 seating position, with high load on one musle/hip ? if answer is yes, should we stick to the same program ? Thanks in advance...

Doing exercices during my walk. With rails, lamp posts etcetera. Really great relieve to stretch every now and then. Hilly terrain and stairs I dare now to test and see how far I have come in 6 months. Little bit of adventure 😊 You become SO very aware how much load every activity adds each day .....

SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First time in my life to have pain constantly for almost a year. Sometimes I feel this pain is going to be with me the rest of my life. The intensity of pain varies, but have never been pain free.

My next step is getting ultrasound guided injection. Hopefully it will help pain… I am ready for a road trip, but pain intensifies when sitting for long periods.

great explanation. i have subscribed to your app, which is awesome. i am seeing improvement already. thankyou

Another great video! My PT had me doing so many different stretches with 30 reps, every day. I was in extreme pain and didn't have that rest in between. Taking steroids and Naprosyn was what I was given. Months of therapy and no improvements. This was last year, before diagnosis of gluteus minimus tendinosis, labral tear and cyst, via MRI.

Do you treat tendinosis the same as tendinitis? From what I've read, tendinitis is inflammation and tendinosis is a breakdown of the tendon and it can't regenerate.

Went to physio for consultation yesterday, he examined and listened to my pain problems, and referred me for mri scan, but also said about gluteal tendonitis. I explained that ive been doing 50+ seated yoga and that this particular pain im experiencing, seems to have worsened since ive been going to those classes. Im supposed to go to a class today but im in so much pain. Can you also suggest a good sleeping position, as the pain is on my left side

No one can find my problem i have had 2 spinal fusions in the past. I do get backaches and pain on my right side. I can live with that stuff but what i cant find is help for walking. I walk from cold 50 metres ok beyond that i have to stop walking from the pain in the top of my leg and my buttock. I feel almost fatigued real quick. Maybe its this but i doubt it. Its strange within 10 secs of not walking the pain goes away but comes back from walking more.

My problem is I have gluteal tendinitis but I make my living as a dog walker .

Such a good informative video which answered many of my questions! Thanks for sharing🙂....

I had this along with sciatica, I take a sublingual multi B-vitamin complex, along with a prebiotic and prebiotic supplement and have greatly reduced my pain, however I do still do have extreme hip flexor pain at times, especially walking uphill.

Is walking good for abdominal tendinopathy

Is bike riding ok?

To loosen the gluteal I lay on my stomach and bring my knee to my side. I was told this will loosen that tight gluteal and rest it. It’s helping.

🙏🏽 really helpful, as are the links.

Do you think you can help me if I’m not able to walk. I can only take tiny steps with a walker, severe gluteus, medius tendon pain, and history of acute muscle spasms that put me in hospital. Right now I’m in so much pain that seems everything I do just makes it worse. Do you think you could help me?

Do you think you can help me if I’m not able to walk. I have been laying on my back for 4 1/2 months. I can only take tiny steps with a walker, severe gluteus, medius tendon pain, and history of acute muscle spasms that put me in hospital. Right now I’m in so much pain that seems everything I do just makes it worse. Do you think you could help me?

What do you do for a torn Gluteous Minnimus tendon? I have severe pain after just a couple minutes of walking. This has gone on for two years.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) healed my partial gluteal medius tendon tear. Two weeks and I was back to my previous abilities. Still have weakness but no more pain!! I’m getting another injection in six months in a different area of my pelvis. PRP is a holistic modality that doesn’t get a lot of attention but it was a miracle for me…three times now.

Oh my goodness..im nine months pregnant and i cant believe im dealing w this

Gluteal Tendonopathy: it's a proper pain in the arse...

what should i do if i have to stand/walk for 10hrs straight five days a week?
