    Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!

    In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about glute medius tendonitis and increasing core strength with an umbilical hernia.

     

    Your questions:

    • Have you ever talked about glute medius tendonitis on the podcast? I have a pain in the right side of my right hip and it goes all along the IT band and it is painful. How do I deal with it?
    • My friend is having some pain radiating in the lower back down the leg. She’s had two c-sections, she exercises but not as much as she used to, and she was diagnosed with an umbilical hernia. Do you have any suggestions for increasing core strength with a hernia and if there’s anything that can be done to help the pain?
