Experts tell Newsweek about the best exercises for hip pain reduction and how perform them safely — from the heel slide to butterfly stretch.
Holly Soper-Doyle, chartered physiotherapist at Integrum Physiotherapy and clinical specialist musculoskeletal physiotherapist at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, toldStretches and exercises for hip pain can help improve mobility and reduce soreness. However, the best solution for ongoing discomfort is to work with a physical therapist who can recommend individual exercises and personalized advice.
Nell Mead, hip specialist and physiotherapist in London, echoed Soper-Doyle's advice and stressed that hip pain is a largely personal experience.Newsweek"One of the things that often happens very early on when your hip starts to hurt is that the powerful hip flexors at the front of your hips tend to tighten up, and the glutes at the back start to get weak and underactive.
Keeping your hips aligned, tighten your core and lift your top leg straight up as far as you can and slowly lower it again. Repeat the movement with your other leg. Stand up and place an exercise band around your ankles or above your knees. Place your feet shoulder width apart, bend your knees slightly and take a step to the side, then return to your original position.
