3 Hip Tips AND Stretches

Staying on the theme of favorite Pop Songs

I’m moving into the 2000’s with one of my favorites

By Shakira

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

  1. Use a Hot Pack for 10-20 minutes

  2. 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)

  3. 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!
