5 Hip Osteoarthritis Pain Relief Exercises, Lying Down
Hip osteoarthritis (OA) can be very painful and make the hips stiff. Often simple exercises will help gain movement in the hips and reduce pain. These 5 hip exercises, which can be done lying down, may help.
Starting off with smaller movements should cause less pain in the hips. Pelvic tilts are a great way to get the muscles moving.
Then isometric exercises (where the muscles are activated but not making movements) do a great job of strengthening without the pain of movement. Glute squeezes (or sets) and hamstring sets do a great job of getting some strength in the hips.
Next are bridges. These are great for all the muscles around the hips and low back. Finally, supine hip abduction is a great beginner exercise since the bed or floor is used to help support the legs.
