This guy is gold.. listen to him if you have bursitis!! Everything he is saying is absolutely 💯 correct!! 😊
-
Ugh. I do all 5 . Wish I saw this video 3 years ago. I had PT for this pain. Not one of the 5 were mentioned. Now the pain makes sense. Thank you.
-
Good information, thank you! I have bursitis so bad it swells up causing a bulge on my hip, I'm glad to know the I can use ice! And I suspected that my hips and glutes are weak, I'll work on that! Thanks!
-
What if the pain is in the groin and also on the the side and down the thigh…seems like all three?And yes the glutes are weak and I have been working on it but still: all 3 symptoms?
-
Thank you! Good, clear information about hip pain. Not quite in your area (the States!) but your advice travels well over the Atlantic.
-
Great explanation of bursitis pain vs arthritis. I am relieved that i can resolve with glute strengthening (and no leg crossing for a while.)
-
I am smiling - this young man is so cute and nice! I like his vids, his advices really helps! 👍👍👍Well done! 👍
-
My glutes are strong, i hike and lift weights. I have pain down my right side only when i sleep. I can walk run cycle swim… no pain. Why do i only get it at night?
-
Ugh, my house is on a steep hill! As a young adult, walking them was a joy, every night after dinner. Now it has just gone from impossible to inadvisable. I guess that's good . . .
-
Thank you! This is exactly what I am dealing with! Pain down the front of both legs though. I appreciate your good advice so much. ☺️
-
Excellent ! Thank you 😊
-
thank you for explaining this issue so clearly and also showing the areas of convern.
-
I was told that my hip pain is due to disc bulging on my right side. I have found cycling , walking seems to help. I enjoy attending your class as I always learn something new thank you.

Very helpful!

Excellent
-
Thank you! You answered THE question I have been looking. So, def pain on the side not in the groin.
-
Do bridges & strengthen your glutes.
-
That was very helpful and relieving, Will! Thanks a lot from Germany!
-
saved me a trip to the doc
-
Will, your videos are most helpful. In this video, you mention avoiding hills, does this applies to stairs? Thanks.
