10 Best Hip Strengthening Exercises to Relieve Hip Pain - Ask Doctor Jo

These hip exercises are great for strengthening your hips to help relieve hip pain. They go from lying down to sitting down to standing up and range from pretty easy to hard depending on your injury. More hip exercises: • Hip Arthritis Stretche...
The first hip exercises are pelvic tilts, bridges, and clamshells. These are great for strengthening your pelvic muscles, glutes, and hamstrings.
Then there is the 4 way hip lying down. This is hip flexion (straight leg raise), hip abduction, hip adduction, and prone hip extension. These are great for all the muscles around the hip including, gluteus medius and gluteus maximus, IT band, hamstrings, hip flexors, and others.
Now for sitting you will do a seated hip flexion and a squat at your chair. These are great because you can do them at work, or if you have been sitting for a long time.
The final hip exercise is a lunge. It sounds pretty simple, but if done right, it can be pretty challenging. You don’t have to bring your knee all the way to the floor, and you can use a target if you need one.

@@csuohio-gp7wq the pain came back just recently. I was free from pain right away and for a long time. But I think I’m needing to exercise butt area and back legs. All my strength is in the the front of my legs so I need to strengthen my back area. I wish I could explain it better.

I also want to thank you for your many exercise videos. I was out for three weeks with SIJ problems that was helped by a chiropractor. I wanted to find exercises to prevent this from reoccurring. I found you Doctor Jo. I have been religiously performing the ten exercises from this video since the fall. I can tell that I am stronger, even developing a rear end again. I have since been working on upper body exercises to strengthen my arms and shoulders one of which has a labrum tear from several years back. I am looking forward to the spring to get back on the golf course. Thank you again.
