You have, honestly, given me hope to not feel like my life has closed in on me!

[@lindavanderleelivingaligne600]

This affirms my experience - walking off trail, on uneven ground, and with some elevation variation made my hip feel so much better than when I walked on the road or a smooth trail. I guessed that it was because my hip had to move in different ways while the road or city walking was repetitive on my forward moving joints. May you all get a chance to try forest walks on uneven trails to see if it feels good for you, too. Thank you, Alyssa, for your helpful videos. This 65 year old truly appreciates them. ❤

[@kathleenmartin7498]

Besides, exercise, I have found that avoiding any sugars and processed carbs helps to alleviate pain. If I drink some pop, within 10-15 minutes my pain level is at least doubled

[@susanmartin4092]

That's because you completely eliminated sugars Now every time you have sugar your going to flair

[@cockamamy]

​@@susanmartin4092Why? How does sugar affect arthritis? I don't see a correlation.

I do these exercises with thrabands around my ankles, stepping up and down the room sideways, front and rear...You really feel the glutes working. Great video, thanks.

[@mariewilliams8382]

This video is so encouraging to me and I began the new movements during the video which seemed to give a tiny bit of relief already. I am so excited about these extra sideways and backwards movements because it all makes sense to do the full rotation of the joints. I have been walking for years and am finding it's not making me feel as comfortable as it used to, so now I am going to really concentrate on what you showed to me and I think I will see a new me. Thank you so very much.

Thank you! I just finished one of your videos. Intuitively I think these exercises will be very helpful. I have lots of arthritis in the hip and accompanying pain. I plan to watch your other videos and do your challenge. Life is looking up.

[@arthritisadventure]

Way to get started! I can’t wait to hear about your progress ♥️

[@Ancient-Paths]

I thought - well that looks very simple, I'll have no trouble doing that! Wow, you do not realise how bad your mobility has become until you try it. I couldn't even do the first exercise! I definitely need your help Alyssa. I do actually need a hip replacement and both hips and knees have gone - so I am a rather extreme case. So I will take everything slowly ... but thank you so much for all your help .. I have now subscribed.

Sometimes new movements can be very eye opening, trust me you aren’t alone! Welcome ❤️

[@Yonner666]

Than you Alyssa for a very good informative video. I have been diagnosed with early onset osteoarthritis in both hips and mild arthritis in my lower back. Up until 2020 I used to be physically fit and in a good place. I used to enjoy going out hiking, averaging between 7 to 15 miles on a hike. However since having a breakdown in my mental health in 2020 my mental and physical health has declined to say the least. I have been using one of my hiking poles to take weight off my left hip over recent months and have thought about investing in a walking cane. I am booked in with Physiotherapy Specialists at my local Hospital to get further help. I am considering starting off with some gentle yoga and stretching exercises to try and gain some strength back in my hips, lower back and core area. I am hoping by doing this, alongside diet changes, weight management will enable me to both return to work full time and also get back outside hiking.

[@shirleychang2071]

Hi NeilMacfarlane! Sorry to hear you’re having so much pain! It’s sad to see such a healthy person like having so much pain. You might be over working your joints thus causing arthritis to come on. I have arthritis thru out my body but I watch what I eat and drink. Certain foods like night shade veggies, dairy, sugar will cause pain in the joints. To alleviate my pain I drink Apple cider vinegar, 1-2 tablespoons mix with some little water every morning before you eat or drink anything. Wait 20-30 minutes before eating or drinking anything. You’ll find your pain will go away! Do this every morning & you’ll never have pain again unless you eat or drink those things again!

[@afinespormx7633]

@@shirleychang2071 Do fermented diary products (yoghurt, kefir etc.) also cause pain in osteorthritis?

[@afinespormx7633]

Hello Neil, How are you doing now? My situation has something similar to yours. I have been very sporty from childhood, but after a critic depressive period I got non usual muscular pain in my thighs, buttocks, lower back. Unfortunately doctors took long time to figure out what was my real problem, and only under my insistence and suggestions they found out hip osteoarthritis. I live in the Netherlands and here the official medicine only see full hip replacement (arthroplasty) as solution. I have read that "breakdowns in mental health" can significantly contribute to hip osteoarthritis. As well, I read that in ancient Ayurvedic medicine the hip was seen like a physiological focus (center) which is affected by all emotional crises. I think that already years ago I had some early conditions of osteoarthritis, but emotional breakdowns triggered it. I wish you the best! Gabriel

[@sallyjfootedvm5371]

my husband and I fell off ballroom dancing . I think this has added to my arthritis - FAI problems. Your video makes so much sense - I have improved a lot but I get so tight. Just me walking through the basic Mambo,and Cha Cha moves will halp a lot - and going backwards in the walz and fox trot! Dancing is just walking to the rhythm!

I have a right hip surgery scheduled for this June 1st everything in my soul tells me it not the right direction. I’ve been going to pt it’s helped to reduce pain . I have advanced according to the x ray yet I believe a new hip may only be part of the solution. I’m here to learn .

[@teresafraley5470]

Absolutely amazing....i had a hip replacement on left side and my right side had become sooo stiff from befor i had surgury..inner thigh pain center of butt pain. This makes more sense than anything i have seen. Starting now....thank you 🙏

I hope this can help!

[@lebosisings]

I have hip arthritis and will eventually need a THR, in the meantime, I got a hip injection which gave me relief for nearly 4 months, then started wearing off over a month, now I’m awaiting another injection, I do go for walks, if I walk for too long I notice pain returning more and I am limping, I have also bought a rebounder which now I’m concerned I might be exacerbating my hip pain, I just do health bounce for a minute then walking movement for 2 minutes and then stomping, I hope I don’t have to give it up as I bought a high quality bungee sprung rebounder and it cost a lot!

[@ellenmumford3843]

Thank you sooo much for this! I used to walk 5 to 8 miles a day, 6days a week and my back got so sore that I had to stop walking. I’m 77 years young and I did all kinds of exercises to help my back but the problem remained. It got to the,point where I could only stand or walk for 15 minutes before I had to sit down or pass out! I’ve had a lot of PT and they were wonderful but I never found out why my back was so bad. I had a Lumbar radio frequency ablation on three places. My nerves were blocking this spinal column and I was told I needed surgery but I don’t want it. So this exercise is going to strengthen my spine and if I do that and the other exercise I have - maybe I won’t need any more ablations! They work very well but I’m on the 101 year old plan. If I plan on being around that long I feel I have to keep my body working without getting it cut open all of the time! Thank you so much! I will keep watching!!! (And I’ll tell my friends too!)

I'm 54, not sure if the pinch in the front of my groin on one side is hip FAI, a sports hernia or osteo. Looks like most of the exercises are the same for these conditions,so keep working on it, and I've been steadily improving. Sleep posture is important? Avoiding sleeping curled up on my side, seems to help a lot when I wake up in the morning. BTW The video's audio track could really use some echo cancellation after 4:15

[@christinad9148]

I have the same groin pain. I just wanted to mention about sleep position. I found sleeping with a knee pillow has helped. I have gone thru a few to find the best feel tho. They're not all the same or comfortable.
