The first 3 was a Game changer for me now I can get up with no pain and no pain after I get up and my legs don’t ache any more . So after trying many other videos on my problem this one really works ! I’m 82 years old and getting up from an chair has been hell and the leg pain ! Thanks so much !
I will try these. I’m a 71 year old female with right arthritic hip pain for many years and 6 months out from a hip replacement . Prior to my surgery I have had right lateral thigh pain after I get up from a seated position and hoped the surgery would remedy this pain. Although the pain helped my hip pain , I still get the thigh pain the same as before. I will be trying these exercises to help relive this pain. Thank you!
I’ve been doing your workouts for a month now and it really has changed my life, I can now get some quality sleep as I am no longer in constant pain from my hip, move much better, and hopefully at some point master going up and down stairs with both legs not just the one step, same leg leading, you are amazing, I had lost hope thank you so much
These were so helpful. Normally when I get up takes time to get my body vertical. Activating the gluteal and hamstrings helps tremendously. Stood straight up. Thank you for helping me and putting your knowledge and experience out to share. So very grateful 🙏🏻❤️🙌
I’ve had SI joint pain for 2 years. It has negatively altered my life. I’ve tried so many things & recently had 5 Airrosti visits. The exercises I was prescribed aggravated my hip flexor pain. I stopped those exercises and returned to using the Pelvic Clock & the related stretches. It always feels good to stretch & hurts more later. It is so frustrating! I’ve performed your arthritic hip exercises & those for groin pain for 3 days. I now have less pain! Many thanks - I’m looking forward to following you and adding movements to continue my progress.
From an injury or sprain? I sprained mine and just could not get relief for forever til i bought an SI Belt. It is a strap that goes around your upper pelvis and holds the si joint secure so that it can heal. The relief was immediate. You can mimic it with a good belt or strap that can be held tight and see if it helps. If it does, consider getting one. The ligaments and muscles need to stop stretching (over stretching) so they can heal. Similar to an ankle, etc.
You are a true blessing. After 34 years of being a Nurse. Even I need these videos. Thank you so much! And please continue your video’s and never stop. You are the best! And so needed. 😊
@@arthritisadventure I have walking problems , I walk side to side , Trendelenburg gait / Myopathy Gait / Waddle Gait, I would like to know if you have ever helped someone with this situation? I know my right hip is weak , and I figure if the right hip weak maybe the left hip is weak too . Do you know of any exercises , I could do to help this situation out???? Thank you .
After a very active athletic life, at 75 I've become hobbled by arthritis in one hip. I can tell this video offers excellent advice, looking forward to implementing the exercises. Thank you!
ohhhhhh, I have searched for years for this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! halleluiah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my first time here and I’m impressed. I’m excited to try these because I do have hip arthritis and bursitis. I’m also an Athlete having played in college at the highest level And teams in the country. I played in the early 70s when the NCAA didn’t watch out for its athletes. It was “no pain, no gain“. I was forced to beat my body to a pulp or lose my scholarship. I’ve had multiple surgeries because of the injuries I suffered. I continued to compete at the national level until I was in my early 40s. I am 68 now and I’ve been feeling the repercussions of all of the things we were forced to do when we were actually crying in pain, Throwing up and collapsing with exhaustion. Consequently, I have arthritis pretty much everywhere. It takes lots of courage to get out of bed in the morning because I know how much it’s going to hurt for at least the first couple of hours I don’t sit much because of my back and hips. Maybe these exercises will help. Thank you.
OMG 😳 my reply Like it' Took off.anyway. Had a stroke about 11 mths ago And They' Had me Doing the step exercises fwd And Back wards As I eventually got improvement m And stretches OMG And I am 11yrs Ur senior
I feel ur pain , similar for me - to think how little we done in terms of warm ups and when I get injuries was told to block out the pain etc - shocking really and had 30 years of issues that never really resolve
Thanks, just watched & did the 3 exercises for sitting & standing. I felt the difference right away. I was told I need to have a hip replacement by 2 surgeons. A friend & personal trainer said i need to strengthen, stretch & work on the hips & my left knee. I can't sit long & getting up again to start walking is the issue. I will be doing the 3 exercises daily . Don't want to do surgery if I can find a more natural method. Hoping to walk up stairs without doing properly (can walk down better). I'd like to get back to doing Belly Dancing & Line Dancing.
Do you walk normal ? My situation I don't know anyone who has this . But I do see alot of older people who walk side to side , and I feel sad for them ,wishing we all didn't have this and walk normal . I do strengthen exercises, balance , etccc.
TERRRRRRIFFFFICCCC advice!!! I am a Myoskeletal Alignment Therapist and these are EXCELLENT retraining exercises we use in my practice!! Standing ovation 👏
Great info, if I don’t use it I loose it. Me don’t think age has anything to do with anything, we just think it dos. It’s just lack of movement, cars office work watching tv are just part of the problem. 😊
Wow, finally one that you do not have to get on the ground and do exercises that do not really help! I love it because I can feel the strengthening just by doing these simple move while sitting! Bless you

My hip arthritis has really become more prominent over the past year, and I’m seated quite a bit at work. These excercises seem like they will be of great help! Thank you! This was the first video of yours that I’ve come across. Looking forward to checking out more!
Glad you like the video and make sure to check out the others on the channel. I also have a premium membership at www.keeptheadventurealive.com/start if you'd like to explore that option as well.
I have had a hip replacement, and it has been hard for me to get back to walking normal again. Thank you for this video. Stiffness is a huge problem I face, and you have helped me. My therapist had me doing the ones that were more stressful, and I could certainly see what you were talking about. The ones you showed me were much better and reduced my pain considerably. I will continue to do these exercises before standing up and moving without causing such a tightening of my muscles that causes me even more pain.
Yes. This happens to me sitting at work. I try to stand as much as possible. Totally depends how well my focus is, lol. Where my pain is a problem is when I'm sleeping. I sleep on my back. I get pain and numbness. Very frustrating.
So happy I found you Alyssa, your a blessing for all of us. My problem are my tight hips. I can’t cross my legs & I find it difficult soaking my feet & drying them. I’ve danced most of my life, but I’m too old now, I’m 85 yrs old. I could have a nurse come in to help me, I’m in Canada, & I don’t have to pay for it,, but I’ve been a Widow for 50 yrs & raised my four kids, and had to be independent, as they were so young. I’m still independent! But I’d like to cross my legs & loosen my hips. Lease help, or advise me on what to do. Thank you. Sweetheart for listening. 🏴🇨🇦🥰
I broke my hip when I fell back on a cement floor in January '24. Went to PT, then started working out in pool using what I learned. Found your channel and God blessed you with skill to explain exactly what I needed to know. Thank you for giving me the tools to heal!
@@arthritisadventure I wished you could help me , or just explain to me, what does it really take to be able to walk normal . I can't found exercises for Waddle Gait / Trendelenburg Gait / Myopathy Gait ( all about the same or close ) . Thank you for your time and your videos . Debbie
Please give examples of sleep postions. Post op L4 L5 S1 3 years now. Can't lie on rifgt side more than 15 minutes. About 1/2 hour on left. I sleep with pillows high under knees. I wake up stiff and in pain. I had both TKR too. Please help me.
Thank you Alyssa. Have been dealing with OA in hips for 6 Months. Didn't really know I had OA until an x-ray. I just have to thank you because flare ups are real and all movement is not created equal. I will be faithfully doing these three exercises....
I have been going to PT for over 6 months and no improvement. Immediately after following your advice, i was able to get up much easier. Im seeing continued daily improvement. Im so amazed and so is my husband. Im no longer all hunched over. To say that im grateful to u doesn't seem like enough..... Ty. Ty. Ty!!!!
Im so glad to have found your video. I tried all 3 exercises and will keep doing them. Thank you for sharing and caring.💯 Praying for blessings on your blessings 🙏💜
You are am excellent teacher- THANK YOU so much. Your patience and knowledge and skill to convey what we need is awesome. You are truly a gift to RUclips land watchers. Thank you
I have watched many videos for arthritis and osteoporosis and am SO impressed with how you educate and instruct in your exercises. As a psychologist, your ability to connect with your audience is very commendable. Thank you so much for all of your videos as your passion and authenticity are refreshing. Please consider making osteoporosis a specialty of yours as you could be the next Sara Meeks :).
Hat's off to you Dr. Kuhn, Alyssa...i have been watchinng about 20 of you videos and practicing all that i have learned. You are the clearest instructor I have met, of the many PTS that i have seen in the past 40 years, no 50...my hips are feeling a lot better and so are my knees...that combined with the Dry Needling that i do on myself and also in my practice gives me hope for a health old age. Thanks!!
I have arthritis and bakers cysts on the back of each knee. One has ruptured and causes me excruciating pain when standing up and walking. I will try these and get back with you.
This is so good. I'm 60 and just beginning to feel a little discomfort and stiffness in my hips. I love these sitting exercises because I do sit a lot for my job. BTW I think you have the most beautiful legs I've even seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you...this gives me hope for my hip pain. I'm 65, lead an active life and have a healthy diet but struggle getting out of a chair. So frustrating. Great presentation Alyssa!
Thanks for the followup! I'll definitely try the 1st 2 while driving forklift. Don't think i have arthritis but my doctors aren't proactive. In my 40s, I asked to see a specialist about scoliosis. The specialist said my shoulders and pelvis were level so if i wasn't falling over or losing balance, i should be fine.
Thank you! I watched this video because I've had hip and upper thigh stiffness after sitting in spite of the exercises I've done. Well, it turns out that the exercises I've been doing are the ones that the video says could be making my pain worse! I've stopped doing the marches and leg extensions and will do the three you suggest.
Thank you for providing this very timely (for me, recently diagnosed) info and doable exercises. I had no idea that something I have been doing (seated marching in place) could impact me as it has.
Wow! These 3 exercises worked amazingly well for me on the first try! So glad I found you and can’t wait to view more of your chair yoga tips and tricks. A heartfelt thank you!!!❤
So helpful - thank you! I've been seeing physios for years and no-one ever gave the advice to combatse discomfort felt after sitting down for prolonged periods. Really appreciate it!
Thank you for this video. I have been having low back hip pain, and I sit a lot for work. I did the first exercise, and already feel so much better. I will be doing all of the exercises. I need to check out your other videos. Thanks again.
Very good video! I’ve got 2 broken ankles, and I’ve started PT. They use a lot of these, but you have added a few more I haven’t done. They really do help. Thank you!
😮 I wish I had found you before spending hundreds of dollars with a clueless PT, I am as maxed,!!!! My Primary just ordered an MRI, which is going to cost me hundreds of $, but I am going to bypass the MRI AND give your exercises a chance for at least 30 days! I'll be 70 on June 1st and if I don't get a grip on this now, I shutter to think the condition I may be in in 6 months! Thank you!
I'm 61 days out of THA Left hip I had an anterior approach. I really like the way you demonstrate exercises for better mobility. I started having back pain about 3 days ago. I found another one of your seated stretching exercise where you raise your arms diagonally and yes it helps. I was shocked. I'm still experimenting with the wall press where you lift your heel. But thanks for doing what you do. Wish you were my PT.

Thank you Alyssa. So well explained. The last 3 exercises I find difficult to do, and you just explained why they are so difficult. Now I will focus on the exercises you recommend 🙏💚💚💚
@@arthritisadventurehi Alyssa, I've just completed the 3 exercises you recommend for hip stiffness. Wow. Recently my hips and legs have been so stiff and heavy I dread moving or getting up from the chair. But after completing the 3 exercises you recommend, I could feel my legs feeling lighter, and movement was easier. I then did your exercises for improving walking. Lately I have been feeling quite low because I physically feel so bad. Then your video popped up and put me back on track. I feel so much better and positive again. Thank you Alyssa 💚💚💚
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your videos, I think it’s helping . . I’ve had a knee replacement about 8 years ago. I am now 57 and I have been experiencing pain in my left hip. the same side I’ve had my total knee done. The pain started about a year ago. The pain Comes and Goes. Lol, and you nailed it right on the head with this video. When I get up, I am hunched over and or walk tilted to one side… eventually it subsides, but it reoccurs more frequent. 😮. Do you have any other stretches in conjunction with the ones you already mentioned in this video. Again, thank you for taking the time and putting together these videos… very informative 😊
I really appreciate your videos more than you know. I want to say Thank you for providing us with such useful information. They have really been helping me through my hip pain.
Yep! That's our whole community. You can join the membership, Adventurers for Life. Here is a link on how to get into the exclusive membership. www.keeptheadventurealive.com/start
Thanks so much, Alyssa, for this informative video. I’m 65 yrs old now with Osteoarthritis in several parts of my body. I have noticed that my walk has changed. I no longer have much sway or hip action as I used to. Will these hip exercises help to regain my normal walk? Thank you, keep up the wonderful vids and God bless you!
I'm a subscriber to Keep the Adventure Alive, and I found this video after doing the 27-minute balance and core workout on the site. This great tutorial features exercises that help me increase my knowledge of pain and then reduce my hip and lower back pain. Whew! Thank you.
I like how simply you've laid this out! I tweak the breath by starting with a long exhale from the belly till the inhale is precipitated. The main reason -- the abs often lock when we're under threat and we can't take any more in, including a breath. Beginning with a long exhale activates the ventral vagal system, as well.
Really good explanations with exercises. It is great to hear your rationale for exercises so people can learn why. As a nurse it is the ticket to wellness.
Learning to stand up properly, as you demonstrated, and allowing myself to shift my weight back and forth whenever I have to stand and it’s not an absolute social no-no, have been essential to my quality of life. Stretching all the muscles which shorten with too much sitting is also necessary to good back health!
Thank you for being so informative. I have Osteoarthritis. I have serve pain in my left hip and right knee. It's hard for me to stand a long time,and I walk a cane. I did the exercises today
Having sat on an inappropriate chair at home during COVID lockdown, a stiff hip is now pretty much always in the background. No diagnosis but thank you so much for the info, I expect it is arthritis and I am going to 'keep moving' the right way, so thank you. No more skiing though...
when Covid happen I became sick and had a lot of health issues , it's like one day I am fine, and then next day I am sick and have no clue what's going on , long story short , it took 4 years to figure it out , but the first 2 years , I wasn't sure what to do. I still have other issues , waddle gait , I'm walking like a penguin and I have hip , and keep issues . out of all this , all I want is to walk normal . I been to Pt twice and both of PT show me the same ole exercise and It didn't work for me .
Thank you for the exercises. Do you have some for a knee to recover mobility on? be able to walk, get up and down the stairs and go up and down to the floor with confidence. Thank you! Alyssa.
This was so timely! I’m gonna try these. My X-rays show nothing but I’m having this issue I think from tight muscles and a chronically pinched piriformis muscle
This is my first time doing- I feel it’s better (hip arthritis) and you totally duplicated all the stiffness and why so much trouble getting up and moving- When I first started writing this I felt tears come to my eyes for so much thanks to you- I will continue and see and will want to know how I can give back to you- I’ll continue and my deepest thank you :))
I tried the exercises with you as you presented them. The second one felt SOOO GOOOD! I will be making a trans-Pacific flight this summer. This video is very encouraging; thank you.
OK, gotta say, I've checked out some 20 or so vids on this subject for pain in my hip flexors, lower back, hamstrings. The stretches in those only sorta work. The exercises in this one actually do the trick!
Thank you very much for sharing this. I had tibial plateau fracture last year (I'm in my 40s). I'm still recovering and I still experience stiffness if I move too much or too little. Trying your tips and they really helps 😊😊
Great explanations have really helped me understand structurally what is going on in my body. Your recommendations have alleviated a lot of suffering.. Thank you and God bless.
I am so pleased to tell you that in even ONE day, I feel so much better from doing these exercises. Thank you! Two of the 3 you show as being the worst have been featured in a chair exercises program I've been doing. No wonder my hips have been worse. I love your videos and am now listening to your podcasts. Thank you SO much!
I just found your channel and found great explination and gentle exercices that help me very much , so thank you . I must have seen hundreds of video's and yours suit me the best.
I discovered your channel about 6 months ago - Ive had knee arthritis for a few years now and do an active seniors exercise class 3 times a week which has really helped my pain - as the physios (I'm in Australia) say - motion is lotion which is so true. Thank you for the ideas on reducing stiffness after sitting for awhile - I find that so frustrating even after a short trip in the car or sitting in the cafe etc! Anyway I love your videos and podcasts - you are so easy to listen to and have such great ideas. I have put a few of my friends with similar issues onto you. Anyway now I have developed piriformis syndrome on my good side - wondered if you have some exercises to help that?
Just when you 💭!! Awesome! The last three you showed causes me pain. The three in the beginning are the ones for me. I was doing the last 3 and I think that’s was causing my pain.
I'm having just what you're talking about. After sitting the thigh bone feels like it won't take the weight of standing. I'm having an X-ray tomorrow and expect hip arthritis. 3 years ago I had a knee replacement on the opposite side for bone on bone pain. And from your video, I've been doing the wrong exercises. Thank you 😊
I think i have the exact issue you mention and I wobble exactly the way you mentioned for the first couple of steps when I standup, I feel just fine after a few seconds but i get a sharp pain going from sitting/sleeping to standing position. I will definitely try more movement as I have a desk job and try your exercises out.
Your video is a big help to me because before I seen it I was doing exercises that, even though they were physio therapist recommended, were doing more damage than good for me, it was ironic that you mentioned a few of them at the end of your video, thanks again for posting this, cheers
The first 3 was a Game changer for me now I can get up with no pain and no pain after I get up and my legs don’t ache any more . So after trying many other videos on my problem this one really works ! I’m 82 years old and getting up from an chair has been hell and the leg pain ! Thanks so much !

Fabulous, feel much better after first session!! Have had both knees replaced & have battled to get going again..
Good advice for sedentery people
My hips are so stiff and I can't seem to wall on my own with out crutches. They say I have muscles in balance
I’ve been doing your workouts for a month now and it really has changed my life, I can now get some quality sleep as I am no longer in constant pain from my hip, move much better, and hopefully at some point master going up and down stairs with both legs not just the one step, same leg leading, you are amazing, I had lost hope thank you so much

This is Day 1. I just found you. I am looking forward to doing these 3 exercises!

Glad you like the video and make sure to check out the others on the channel. I also have a premium membership at www.keeptheadventurealive.com/start if you'd like to explore that option as well.
I will add these to my exercise routine today and get back to you with my reply
I have had a hip replacement, and it has been hard for me to get back to walking normal again. Thank you for this video. Stiffness is a huge problem I face, and you have helped me. My therapist had me doing the ones that were more stressful, and I could certainly see what you were talking about. The ones you showed me were much better and reduced my pain considerably. I will continue to do these exercises before standing up and moving without causing such a tightening of my muscles that causes me even more pain.
Recommend the knees over toes guy best on social media.
Yes. This happens to me sitting at work. I try to stand as much as possible. Totally depends how well my focus is, lol. Where my pain is a problem is when I'm sleeping. I sleep on my back. I get pain and numbness. Very frustrating.
So happy I found you Alyssa, your a blessing for all of us. My problem are my tight hips. I can’t cross my legs & I find it difficult soaking my feet & drying them. I’ve danced most of my life, but I’m too old now, I’m 85 yrs old. I could have a nurse come in to help me, I’m in Canada, & I don’t have to pay for it,, but I’ve been a Widow for 50 yrs & raised my four kids, and had to be independent, as they were so young. I’m still independent! But I’d like to cross my legs & loosen my hips. Lease help, or advise me on what to do. Thank you. Sweetheart for listening. 🏴🇨🇦🥰
So simple yet so 😅effective in reducing pain and discomfort. Thank youuuu so much! I love you!
I broke my hip when I fell back on a cement floor in January '24. Went to PT, then started working out in pool using what I learned. Found your channel and God blessed you with skill to explain exactly what I needed to know. Thank you for giving me the tools to heal!
So glad you like the videos! Hope all is healed from your fall!
@@arthritisadventure I wished you could help me , or just explain to me, what does it really take to be able to walk
normal . I can't found exercises for Waddle Gait / Trendelenburg Gait / Myopathy Gait ( all about the same or close ) .
Thank you for your time and your videos . Debbie
Please give examples of sleep postions. Post op L4 L5 S1 3 years now. Can't lie on rifgt side more than 15 minutes. About 1/2 hour on left. I sleep with pillows high under knees. I wake up stiff and in pain. I had both TKR too. Please help me.
Thank you Alyssa. Have been dealing with OA in hips for 6 Months. Didn't really know I had OA until an x-ray. I just have to thank you because flare ups are real and all movement is not created equal. I will be faithfully doing these three exercises....
I have been going to PT for over 6 months and no improvement.
Immediately after following your advice, i was able to get up much easier. Im seeing continued daily improvement. Im so amazed and so is my husband. Im no longer all hunched over. To say that im grateful to u doesn't seem like enough..... Ty. Ty. Ty!!!!
I’m so happy to hear that you are moving better!
Im so glad to have found your video. I tried all 3 exercises and will keep doing them. Thank you for sharing and caring.💯 Praying for blessings on your blessings 🙏💜
You are am excellent teacher- THANK YOU so much. Your patience and knowledge and skill to convey what we need is awesome. You are truly a gift to RUclips land watchers. Thank you
That is so kind, thank you. I appreciate the support of the channel.
I have watched many videos for arthritis and osteoporosis and am SO impressed with how you educate and instruct in your exercises. As a psychologist, your ability to connect with your audience is very commendable. Thank you so much for all of your videos as your passion and authenticity are refreshing. Please consider making osteoporosis a specialty of yours as you could be the next Sara Meeks :).
Thank you for the kind words and feedback. I care deeply about my followers!
I really appreciate the kind words! ❤️
Hat's off to you Dr. Kuhn, Alyssa...i have been watchinng about 20 of you videos and practicing all that i have learned. You are the clearest instructor I have met, of the many PTS that i have seen in the past 40 years, no 50...my hips are feeling a lot better and so are my knees...that combined with the Dry Needling that i do on myself and also in my practice gives me hope for a health old age. Thanks!!
You are welcome!
I have arthritis and bakers cysts on the back of each knee. One has ruptured and causes me excruciating pain when standing up and walking. I will try these and get back with you.
Many thanks. I'm very grateful for your videos. You are a great tutor ❤️ Bless you.
You are so welcome!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for these exercises, demonstrations, explanations, and warnings. Really fabulous. Looking forward to more of your wisdom!
This is so good. I'm 60 and just beginning to feel a little discomfort and stiffness in my hips. I love these sitting exercises because I do sit a lot for my job. BTW I think you have the most beautiful legs I've even seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
These are great exercises for my hubby. He sits all the time and now has hip issues. You're helping my whole family, thank u 😊
You’re so welcome!
Thank you...this gives me hope for my hip pain. I'm 65, lead an active life and have a healthy diet but struggle getting out of a chair. So frustrating. Great presentation Alyssa!
I appreciate it! You got this.
Thanks for the followup! I'll definitely try the 1st 2 while driving forklift. Don't think i have arthritis but my doctors aren't proactive. In my 40s, I asked to see a specialist about scoliosis. The specialist said my shoulders and pelvis were level so if i wasn't falling over or losing balance, i should be fine.
Thank you! I watched this video because I've had hip and upper thigh stiffness after sitting in spite of the exercises I've done. Well, it turns out that the exercises I've been doing are the ones that the video says could be making my pain worse! I've stopped doing the marches and leg extensions and will do the three you suggest.
You are the best physio in the world. Simple and actual working movements. I am from India and improving my postures with your help
Thank you for the kind words ❤️
Thank you for providing this very timely (for me, recently diagnosed) info and doable exercises. I had no idea that something I have been doing (seated marching in place) could impact me as it has.
Skip to 4:05 for the exercises
I was just getting ready to turn her off 🙄
@@vickirav6488right
Thank you
Wow! These 3 exercises worked amazingly well for me on the first try! So glad I found you and can’t wait to view more of your chair yoga tips and tricks. A heartfelt thank you!!!❤
Glad to hear
Thanks
Thank you so much for the support of the channel!
So helpful - thank you! I've been seeing physios for years and no-one ever gave the advice to combatse discomfort felt after sitting down for prolonged periods. Really appreciate it!
You're so welcome!
Really enjoyed doing the stretches! Plan to incorporate several more routines as part of my 28 day challenge. Thank You
Thanks!
You’re welcome! Thanks for the support!
Thank you for this video. I have been having low back hip pain, and I sit a lot for work. I did the first exercise, and already feel so much better. I will be doing all of the exercises. I need to check out your other videos. Thanks again.
You're so welcome!
I've been doing all the wrong things. Thank you for showing us a better way.
I'm glad you liked the video!
Thank you this video. Looking forward to trying these exercises!
You are so welcome!
Very good video! I’ve got 2 broken ankles, and I’ve started PT. They use a lot of these, but you have added a few more I haven’t done. They really do help. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
😮 I wish I had found you before spending hundreds of dollars with a clueless PT, I am as maxed,!!!! My Primary just ordered an MRI, which is going to cost me hundreds of $, but I am going to bypass the MRI AND give your exercises a chance for at least 30 days! I'll be 70 on June 1st and if I don't get a grip on this now, I shutter to think the condition I may be in in 6 months! Thank you!
I'm 61 days out of THA Left hip I had an anterior approach. I really like the way you demonstrate exercises for better mobility. I started having back pain about 3 days ago. I found another one of your seated stretching exercise where you raise your arms diagonally and yes it helps. I was shocked. I'm still experimenting with the wall press where you lift your heel. But thanks for doing what you do. Wish you were my PT.

Thank you Alyssa. So well explained. The last 3 exercises I find difficult to do, and you just explained why they are so difficult. Now I will focus on the exercises you recommend 🙏💚💚💚
I'm glad I can provide informative videos to you.
Glad it was helpful!
@@arthritisadventurehi Alyssa, I've just completed the 3 exercises you recommend for hip stiffness. Wow. Recently my hips and legs have been so stiff and heavy I dread moving or getting up from the chair. But after completing the 3 exercises you recommend, I could feel my legs feeling lighter, and movement was easier. I then did your exercises for improving walking. Lately I have been feeling quite low because I physically feel so bad. Then your video popped up and put me back on track. I feel so much better and positive again. Thank you Alyssa 💚💚💚
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your videos, I think it’s helping . . I’ve had a knee replacement about 8 years ago. I am now 57 and I have been experiencing pain in my left hip. the same side I’ve had my total knee done. The pain started about a year ago. The pain Comes and Goes. Lol, and you nailed it right on the head with this video. When I get up, I am hunched over and or walk tilted to one side… eventually it subsides, but it reoccurs more frequent. 😮. Do you have any other stretches in conjunction with the ones you already mentioned in this video. Again, thank you for taking the time and putting together these videos… very informative 😊
I really appreciate your videos more than you know. I want to say Thank you for providing us with such useful information. They have really been helping me through my hip pain.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you like the information!

Thanks so much, Alyssa, for this informative video. I’m 65 yrs old now with Osteoarthritis
in several parts of my body. I have noticed that my walk has changed. I no longer have
much sway or hip action as I used to. Will these hip exercises help to regain my normal
walk? Thank you, keep up the wonderful vids and God bless you!
Thank you for sharing these. I've been recovering from an injury and getting super stiff - these seem to be game-changers!
No problem!
Much appreciated! Excellent break down, reasoning and progression. Thank you!
You're welcome!
I'm a subscriber to Keep the Adventure Alive, and I found this video after doing the 27-minute balance and core workout on the site. This great tutorial features exercises that help me increase my knowledge of pain and then reduce my hip and lower back pain. Whew! Thank you.
Glad you like it! You are so welcome!
I like how simply you've laid this out! I tweak the breath by starting with a long exhale from the belly till the inhale is precipitated. The main reason -- the abs often lock when we're under threat and we can't take any more in, including a breath. Beginning with a long exhale activates the ventral vagal system, as well.
My physical therapist has me doing the last 3 exercises. I will add these first 3. I am working hard to heal and restore.
skilled professional with delightful presentation.
Really good explanations with exercises. It is great to hear your rationale for exercises so people can learn why. As a nurse it is the ticket to wellness.
Glad it was helpful!
Learning to stand up properly, as you demonstrated, and allowing myself to shift my weight back and forth whenever I have to stand and it’s not an absolute social no-no, have been essential to my quality of life. Stretching all the muscles which shorten with too much sitting is also necessary to good back health!
Thank you for being so informative. I have Osteoarthritis. I have serve pain in my left hip and right knee. It's hard for me to stand a long time,and I walk a cane. I did the exercises today
your hip can cause your right knee to hurt
Having sat on an inappropriate chair at home during COVID lockdown, a stiff hip is now pretty much always in the background. No diagnosis but thank you so much for the info, I expect it is arthritis and I am going to 'keep moving' the right way, so thank you.
No more skiing though...
when Covid happen I became sick and had a lot of health issues , it's like one day I am fine, and then next day I am sick and have no clue what's going on , long story short , it took 4 years to figure it out , but the first 2 years , I wasn't sure what to do.
I still have other issues , waddle gait , I'm walking like a penguin and I have hip , and keep issues .
out of all this , all I want is to walk normal . I been to Pt twice and both of PT show me the same ole exercise and It didn't work for me .
Thank you for the exercises. Do you have some for a knee to recover mobility on? be able to walk, get up and down the stairs and go up and down to the floor with confidence. Thank you! Alyssa.

Thank you very much, this is so helpful. I have been suffering with hip pain for at least 10 years and these really help me!
So glad you've seen such a benefit! Keep up the work to continue to reduce the hip pain.
Good Explanation I have to follow up with the basic stretching for knees Thank You Madam
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you for explaining this so well.
Glad it was helpful!
This was so timely! I’m gonna try these. My X-rays show nothing but I’m having this issue I think from tight muscles and a chronically pinched piriformis muscle
Wondering if you tried them.
Thanks a lot for sharing these exercices 🙏🌺🌺🌺
Glad you like them!
This is my first time doing- I feel it’s better (hip arthritis) and you totally duplicated all the stiffness and why so much trouble getting up and moving- When I first started writing this I felt tears come to my eyes for so much thanks to you- I will continue and see and will want to know how I can give back to you- I’ll continue and my deepest thank you :))
You are so welcome!
I appreciate the explanation of what the muscles are doing and where they are located, something missing from other people’s exercise videos.
Welcome! I'm here to provide information.
I tried the exercises with you as you presented them. The second one felt SOOO GOOOD! I will be making a trans-Pacific flight this summer. This video is very encouraging; thank you.
Yay happy to hear that!!
OK, gotta say, I've checked out some 20 or so vids on this subject for pain in my hip flexors, lower back, hamstrings. The stretches in those only sorta work. The exercises in this one actually do the trick!
Thank you very much for sharing this. I had tibial plateau fracture last year (I'm in my 40s). I'm still recovering and I still experience stiffness if I move too much or too little. Trying your tips and they really helps 😊😊
So glad you're seeing a benefit.
Thank you. Will be doing these regularly.
Glad you like them!
Great explanations have really helped me understand structurally what is going on in my body. Your recommendations have alleviated a lot of suffering.. Thank you and God bless.
You are so welcome!
I am so pleased to tell you that in even ONE day, I feel so much better from doing these exercises. Thank you! Two of the 3 you show as being the worst have been featured in a chair exercises program I've been doing. No wonder my hips have been worse. I love your videos and am now listening to your podcasts. Thank you SO much!
Glad to hear these are helping you!!
Very helpful exercises to go from sitting to standing up, thank you!
Welcome!
Thanks so much. In 70s with knee replacement in one knee. Your exercises have helped.
I'm so glad you've found them useful.
Great video! I was just diagnosed with OA. So happy I found you. I feel relief
Glad it was helpful!
I have hip stiffness i am so happy you made a video thank you so much for your help you are awesome

Agree 💯 "Awesome Alyssa" 🤗
I just found your channel and found great explination and gentle exercices that help me very much , so thank you . I must have seen hundreds of video's and yours suit me the best.
Happy to hear it ❤️❤️
Wonderful video, it finally makes sense for me! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. What a difference! Thank you you are a blessing!
you are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and expertise in improving our health.
You are so welcome! Glad you like the channel.
I discovered your channel about 6 months ago - Ive had knee arthritis for a few years now and do an active seniors exercise class 3 times a week which has really helped my pain - as the physios (I'm in Australia) say - motion is lotion which is so true. Thank you for the ideas on reducing stiffness after sitting for awhile - I find that so frustrating even after a short trip in the car or sitting in the cafe etc! Anyway I love your videos and podcasts - you are so easy to listen to and have such great ideas.
I have put a few of my friends with similar issues onto you. Anyway now I have developed piriformis syndrome on my good side - wondered if you have some exercises to help that?
Yes...to be able to stand up with no pain and walk straight...there is a way. It is called youth, being young again would be so helpful...😂😂😂😂😂
You made me laugh...yeah! Be young again, just to be able to walk free of pain...just for that😂
Just when you 💭!! Awesome! The last three you showed causes me pain. The three in the beginning are the ones for me. I was doing the last 3 and I think that’s was causing my pain.
Thank you! Excited to do these & yo watch all your videos!
Yay! Thank you!
In so happy to have found your videos. I walk about a mile every day. I have always to go. Thank you for your help😊😊
You are so welcome!
Thank you a million times. I have had major hip stiffness and have not known how to alleviate it. You are a lifesaver. 👍🙏🏻👏
You are so welcome!
Wow...just doing these few things the first time really work! Thanks so much!
You're welcome!
Alyssa, what are your thoughts about under-the-desk elliptical machines for assisting with hip and/or knee arthritis?
I'm having just what you're talking about. After sitting the thigh bone feels like it won't take the weight of standing. I'm having an X-ray tomorrow and expect hip arthritis. 3 years ago I had a knee replacement on the opposite side for bone on bone pain. And from your video, I've been doing the wrong exercises. Thank you 😊
I think i have the exact issue you mention and I wobble exactly the way you mentioned for the first couple of steps when I standup, I feel just fine after a few seconds but i get a sharp pain going from sitting/sleeping to standing position. I will definitely try more movement as I have a desk job and try your exercises out.
Thanks so much, this video has been very helpful to me, Happy New Year, Cheers ❤
Glad you liked the video!
Your video is a big help to me because before I seen it I was doing exercises that, even though they were physio therapist recommended, were doing more damage than good for me, it was ironic that you mentioned a few of them at the end of your video, thanks again for posting this, cheers
