Hip Arthritis

by William
(Tampa, FL)

How would the exercises for treating a hip flexor injury which are described in Hip Flexor Solutions differ from treating mild arthritis in my hip? My orthopedist says that I should continue doing hip flexor exercises to help my pain and function. Do you have you any other exercises you can suggest for hip arthritis?

Hip Arthritis
by: Mitch - MTS

With regards to your hip arthritis, I think that for the most part, the Hip Flexor Solutions ebook would be a good program to help you with your pain.

With exercises, we will not be able change the physical damage that has occurred within your hip due to the arthritis, but we can make changes to the things around it which typically cause as much, if not more pain than the actual arthritis.

Many times with hip pain such as this, you will see muscle spasm, loss of motion, and muscle weakness with this long term pain. While Hip Flexor Solutions is intended for active people who have sustained an injury, it will take you through a progression to increase your flexibility, balance, and strength. Weight bearing exercise will also help your body produce the fluid in your joints that is needed for lubrication as well as help with blood flow to the area to heal damaged tissue.

I don't know your activity level or age, but if I were to modify the program, I would recommend that you progress through the program at your own pace, and it may be that you don't complete all of it. You may simply decide to stay with Phase I strengthening, if that is working for you to help you stay pain free.
