We had a client yesterday that was having hip pain when running. His doctor thought his gluteus medius workout routines may be inflamed. We took a look (full report below) and discovered that both his gluteus medius and maximus were significantly less active on his left side – the side of his hip pain. This is what we call “dead glutes.” There was an interesting New York times article on it awhile back, though it fails to explain that the problem can be simply one of activation, not necessarily strength. If you try some sidesteps, clam shells, and fire hydrants with a theraband just before running, workout routines do you experience less pain?
The workout routines gluteus medius and gluteus maximus are stabilizing muscles workout routines for the hip; as a result, they are often associated with hip pain and lateral pain along IT band and vastus lateralis (the outer quad muscle). If the glutes are not strong enough, or they do not activate while running, you have instability, which causes problems (and running pain). Of all the running problems I’ve seen and experienced, this was the most easily remedied. Strengthen and activate the gluteus maximus and gluteus maximus and pain goes away. It’s the kind of silver bullet solution every injured runner is looking workout routines for.
