Hips don’t LIE!
It’s true…and again I offer my own take 😉
If you have hip pain, you know lying on your hips is a real pain in the a**!
(especially if you have trochanteric bursitis, gluteal tendonitis or hip arthritis)
You’re not alone!
1 in 4 women in their 40’s and 50’s experience hip pain.
And it means
❌You’re not sleeping well
❌You’re easily irritated in the morning
❌You have less motivation to go to work, play with your kids, and go to that awesome exercise class with all your friends
❌ AND worst of all, you’re dreading that ride in the car for summer vacation because its a real pain in the HIP!
Your hip pain is running your entire life
I know that wasn’t the plan.
For the first step to reduce hip pain
Here is what I recommend
Use a Hot Pack for 10-20 minutes
Self Massage your thigh AND gluteal muscles with your hands or favorite device (rolling stick, tennis ball, massage gun, foam roller…whatever makes you say a pleasurable ahhhh and NOT a painful gaahhh)
Do 2-3 of your favorite stretches (See pics below if you need an idea) before going to bed
Practice this 4 times a week for 2 weeks and see how you are laying on those hips.
THEN start to strengthen that hip IN ALL THE DIRECTIONS!
