I-m currently seeing a physical therapist after at least 5 years of leg pain issues. Even though I was doing stretches and exercises at home that my dr had gave me a print out for I still couldn-t fix my legs even though I had some improvement.
My therapist ran some test and one was she put her hands under my thigh and had me try hold down with her lifting. I couldn-t hardly fight it at all. After she did her testing I found out I had tight IT band problems, weak glutes, weak hamstrings, one muscle group not firing properly, and issues with the upper front thigh area that I can-t remember the name right now and I also had bad pain in my left shin area plus stability issues. I could hardly put my shoe on without falling over or stumble. I could walk but the more I walked the worse my pain got. The last hike I went on by the time I made it. 7 miles I was in pain on pretty flat ground and had to take a break and try to stretch. by the time I finished the other. 7 I was in some pretty bad pain. Basically my legs are in bad shape and needed a lot of attention that I was unable to figure out on my own. After seeing my physical therapist for just two weeks I-m already getting improvements. She knew all the right stretches and exercises to target the right areas plus I-m doing some dry needling. My pain in my shin is improving. My legs already feel much more limber and relaxed. My IT bands feel better when I walk. My stability is starting to improve and I can put my shoe on without falling over. This lady has only been doing it for a few years so far but she-s amazing and she has helped me so much already that I-m so grateful. I still have 4 more weeks of therapy to go so hopefully I-ll be good and back to a normal functioning legs by the time I finish my 4 weeks.

6: 30 I cracked up at this because it made the glutes sound like they were consciously taking a back seat-lazy a$$! This was an informative video that helped inspire me to bring my glute game up. I thought they were severely underserving in their capacity to be a powerhouse damn; I just didn-t think they were this important; I can feel them activate more though when I attempt to put them to work in my steps, walk pace really speeds up but it is difficult to keep them contracted. I see how weak glutes have so many red flags - even the bending down of my back: it became difficult to get the weight into my legs when I would bend down and I could literally feel pressure transfer off my legs, and into my lower spine, when I gave out my glutes - informative quality education Jeff.

Jeff, thanks so much for all the insight related to back pain issues and correlation with gluteus muscles. I do seem to have an issues with my right gluteus medius and also suffer with anterior pelvic tilt- all of which I have been gradually working over the past 6months ( had to take esi to block my L4 as well. My trouble is everytime I try to do the specific glut medius exercises, it makes my pain worse at my SI joint. Not sure what I am doing wrong but some direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for all the videos!

Can we have a video on which exercise to do to fix this? I-ve tried all the lower body workouts and can not for the life of me get my glutes to activate much. I have lower back pain like no other and feel every exercise in my lower back or quads. Frog pumps, hip thrusts, barbell floor bridges, lunges, BS squats, rdl, sidekick Rdls ect I don-t really feel my glutes burning. I-ve had 5 hip surgeries and have had my IT band release and my psoas tendon release not sure if this is the cause for my issue.

I feel like no matter how many videos I watch and no matter how many articles I read, I just can-t get down how to do glute workouts in general. Like how to engage glutes while doing activations? Every time I squeeze my glutes parts of my legs tighten up. How are you supposed to build your glutes that won-t fire up at all if you can-t even get the basics or foundation down first? I feel defeated. Maybe I literally have to see a trainer at this point cause I really feel hopeless.

Great video thank you! I had lower back problems for almost a year in the exact position you showed and after doing a lot of research I have been thinking about my weak gluteus; I started to do squat with width stance and in full depth (instead like before at the parallel) to activate the gluteus more and the back pain decreased significantly for the first time. Now watching this video you confirmed me that! Thanks

okay so i literally can-t feel my glutes in ANY of these, i know i have weak glutes and a not very good mind muscle connection. i feel bridges above my knee (i think in my quads) i-ve doing glute activation before my lower body days but its not gotten better, i can never feel my glutes in hip thrusts or any glute focused exercise. i really need help i have no idea what to do!

Jeff Cavallari has changed my life and the quality of it. I'm 41 really started training 5 years ago, yes with the bro split but worse, I was going heavy, heavy and more heavy. I would hit my goals but then boom i would get hurt. I've went down in weight just enough to do it properly. I did squats without back pain for the first time ever.

After I lost weight I realized everytime I sit on flat surfaces, my butt bones hurt, it feels like I'm literally sitting on bone, therefore I put cushion on my sit Is this because I have no fat and no muscle on my butt? My butt also looks kinda flat now. Or is this normal. Does adding muscle help cushion everytime I sit?
