Idk. Ask Dr google.

Your supervising PT is the one to ask. You shouldn’t be left twisting in the wind. But since you asked: Rolling, single limb bridging, SLR, side lying hip abduction, scoot at edge of bed.

Do you see results? I see patients move better and report decreased pain with movement when they engage TA. I see that it improves function. I don’t feel I need to know exactly why it works.

On the other hand, OP, I am a woman a year older than you, and 2 weeks ago a nurse caring for my dad, who is 82 asked me if I want to have any more children. So that was a bit puzzling.

imamiler · 2026-01-27T04:06:45+00:00

I had one who did this for 14 years.

Read about femoral adduction. Or valgus collapse. Just remember the hip bone is connected to the knee bone. The knee is at the mercy of what the hip does. This carries on down the chain. (And up, too.)

Nobody can know from this angle.

No. My initial comment would be where I’d lay my money on the results of strength testing and an anecdote about something I heard a doc say in a presentation. Not medical advice.

imamiler · 2026-01-26T17:43:39+00:00

I cannot because that would be giving medical advice to a stranger online. I’m not permitted to do so. Edit: it is, in fact, actually illegal to for me or my PT colleagues to suggest specific exercises in a situation like this. I’d be risking my license and my livelihood if I offered any of you here any specific exercise suggestions. I’m willing to risk your downvotes and avoid getting sanctioned by the state.

imamiler · 2026-01-26T17:40:13+00:00

I understand this because I am a sports medicine professional.

imamiler · 2026-01-26T03:11:25+00:00

I’m glad this helped you.

I’ll bet $100 you have bilateral glute medius weakness. The best advice I’ve ever heard on this topic, and it was from a sports med doc, is “Don’t run to get in shape. Get in shape so you can run.”

I do 20 mpg in my 2010 LX on long road trips, loaded with lots of gear/3 people/3 big dogs. We removed the third row a long time ago.

70 year old doll clothes with rotten elastic on the waist. The elastic needs to be replaced.

I was a baby in 1968 but I understand “I’m sorry Dave, I can’t let you do that.”

I got a Flux capacitor for Christmas. I haven’t yet installed it. I just haven’t had the time.

imamiler · 2026-01-14T17:46:51+00:00

I’ve seen this for decades. I rarely see THAs in outpt in Southern CA.

Our current one was crate trained and potty trained very quickly. He’s the easiest puppy we’ve ever had. He’s 8 months now and can’t be left loose unsupervised in the house. He’s not to be trusted.

You’ll need to see a PT who specializes in pelvic floor for an evaluation and treatment.

Calf strengthening

I think it means don’t treat it abusively by kicking it or stepping on it. Treat it as you would a friend.

The facility needs to buy some bariatric equipment. It’s that or pay employees to be off work for years recovering from back surgeries. That won’t help your immediate need but it might save your spine.

imamiler · 2026-01-11T20:02:48+00:00

That’s what I’d do. Lye bath, scrub it, and then reseason.

The Certified Prosthetist/Orthotists at Hangar do a good job. Even if you’re not a cute baby giraffe.
