Today's video covers strengthening exercises for gluteus medius and gluteus minimus, which are important abductors and stabilizers of the hip joint. These muscles are implicated in several clinical conditions including low back pain, patellofemoral pain, IT band syndrome, hip impingement, gluteal tendinopathy and ACL tears.

This video shows four of my favorite exercises for strengthening gluteus medius and minimus. These exercises could be used as a part of a injury prevention program or with someone who is suffering from one of the clinical conditions mentioned above. I would aim to complete these 23 times per week and perform 3 sets of 1015 reps.

*My new book contains comprehensive rehab programs for the 50 most common injuries and pain issues, including programs for several hip and low back conditions (gluteal tendinopathy, hip arthritis, low back pain, sciatica, SI joint pain, disc herniations, and many more).
