Exercises that protect your hips & avoid hip replacement

16 years ago I had an X-ray diagnosis of hip arthritis and have been fascinated by the topic ever since....
This video demonstrates exercises similar to those that have withstood the test of time over thousands of years. (Because primitive daily movement patterns are good at strengthening and healing your hip joint). Take notes, make them a part of your life, and avoid developing hip arthritis during your lifetime!

I need exercises that you do not have to get down on the floor.

Thank you for your comment, which highlights the precarious state that hip arthritis can lead to. First off, it is what it is. You should not let feelings of shame or resentment come between you and the quiet inner hero that - since you took the effort to search the internet and study your problem - I know you to be. One quiet step at a time is your good motto.
You might adapt the exercises to work while lying on a bed or a massage table. I think that supervision and coaching from a movement therapy specialist is appropriate. Reformer and other equipment-based pilates is a good option.
The rest speaks directly to your concern. Please forgive me for being rather blunt with what follows. It is intended in a kindly fashion.
The inability to lower and rise from the ground is a clarion call to get the best possible help from all possible sources, to help you regain this vital health-and-safety pattern of movement.
Strong friends with whom you can brainstorm "raise and lower strategies". Learning how to use their help and the help of furniture such as dining room chairs and chairs with arms you can push on and pulleys attached to ceiling hooks: Brainstorm! Internet-connected wristband alarms! Surgery is a good option for many. Supervised quality nutrition with appropriate gentle fasting if weight is a problem. Let direct sunlight warm you every day, whether fully clothed or partially stripped off. Do not be scared of getting small doses of tanning from the sun - benefits include vitamin D and mitochondrial melatonin, both have poweful anti-inflammatory and healing effects.
Receptionists at physios, doctors and social security (these are people who listen to patient stories and have insider knowledge) may offer recommendations and referrals to appropriate helpers and specialists for your problem.
Massage specialists are likely to be of help.
Pilates studios with trained rehab specialists, offer a unique and friendly environment.
Surgery may be your best option.
Somewhere in my comments, there might be something that you can use.
Thank you for asking your question
Go well, and
God bless.

Wonderful! Thank you👏

Thanks interesting.

Makes a lot of sense. Did this approach control your hip arthritis or do you set off alarms at airport security!

I have not needed a hip replacement and am looking forward to a summer of masters athletics, including training for national level hurdles. I feel very fortunate to have found things that work for me. Every person is of case is different, so no guarantees for others. Keep looking for what works because there is always something you can do.

I have pain and limping but it's not unbearable can this help me? I can feel my glutes fire but it's not very much on the bad side. Any suggestions or should I just start doing theseif so how often? Thanks

[@BruceThomsonDoesPilates]

That's a good question and a good description of your situation. You have a good attitude and sensible questions, so there is reason for hope.
You should allocate time daily to explore the exercises and make them work for you so that you cover most or all of them once or twice weekly.
A necessary ingredient is motivation. Your first motivation is that there is hope (your case does look hopeful). You must ask yourself what your motivations are. They might be "keeping mobile to enjoy pain-free walks in the park" or "offering a top service at your place of work while not distracted by pain", or getting a good night's sleep". A friend with a listening ear can be your coach and sounding board.
Since no single health provider has all the answers, be sure to seek the advice of more than one health professional.
Go well.

@@BruceThomsonDoesPilates thanks, I appreciate the advice! I'm stubborn and motivated 😂

[@Tango_Alpha_Charlie]

Thank you!! This makes so much sense. Is going up and down stairs a reasonable substitute for some of what you suggest?

[@btpilates-solutions]

Going up and down stairs is good for your hips. Do it smoothly. Use the handrail. Go both up and down. Take the same shape as in the ****05:39** Reverse chair sit** because it will make it easier to add the **SQUEEZE THE GLUTE** and get the benefit.
