Hi, you've requested comments about what helps with my hip discomfort, so here goes! In the morning, while still in bed, lying on my back, I bend one knee, pull it into my chest, then grab it with my hands and do 20 circular movements in one direction. Then switch and do 20 in the other direction. I then repeat with the other leg. If I take the time to do this, i am so much more agile and without pain. i can almost run down my stairs. Not sure if this would be recommended for everyone, but for me, it's great. Thanks for all the wonderful information, and most of all for so generously sharing it with the world! ( in Canada here). Love your fun spirit as well.
It sounds like you are responding well to movement. Keep up your great routine, and we hope to continue to help you along the way. Thanks for the message!
Wow great exercise suggestions. I'm a new hip sufferer, and trying to hold off the onset of osteo-arthritis (perhaps I'm too late). I'm going to make up a poster and do some of these exercises at my desk whenever I'm on a boring phone call or need a break! Thanks guys
Thanks guys, I have found the step up wonderful as I can use stairs a lot easier but will be doing all of the exercises to help my hip oasis, so much appreciated that you have such wonderful videos
Another great video. I had really bad sciatica a couple of years ago, and do most of these exercises in my regular routines. Will add the standing hip adduction.
That's great to hear. Modalities like this can help alleviate symptoms for certain individuals but we know that they do not improve tissue capacity to tolerate greater movement and load. We do recommend that you couple your routine with an exercise regime to get the best of both worlds.
hi, your exercises are so good, I struggle with my knee replacement too. I go to pilates and yoga, but have to adjust some exercises, kneeling is difficult, I really like yr exercises, thanks from uk
Thanks so much for the feedback, we're glad you are enjoying our exercises. Modify them as needed, and challenge yourself to progress slowly at your own pace.
Hello Gentleman: I have moderate to severe Osteoarthritis in both my hip joints ( Ball & Socket) particularly the right hip that feels like a spur is sticking into my hip with each stride when I go for a walk. The ache in my hips wakens me up every night! I have attended a Physio here in Scotland. U.K., since last November but unfortunately it has not reduced my hip joint discomfort. I am very famaliar with all the exercises you offer here on this video, I will try following the series of exercises to-day to see what happens with hips and report back to you immediately!
Thank you very much for these exercises, but even more for the explanations and clear instructions! I haven't been diagnosed with hip osteo, but your descriptions fit me perfectly. And i have been given most of these exercises before, but never with such clear explanations, or instructions. 10 - 15 reps, 3 sets, 2 x per week. Just what i needed. Thank you very much. Jill.
Thanks so much for the feedback, it's great to know that we can be of help to you. Keep up the hard work, and do let us know if you run into any questions.
Thank you so much for all of this information. I was recently diagnosed with hip osteo and also some osteopenia. I stopped doing my tap dancing thinking that this was not good for it, however, I am back now and find that I am really enjoying the tap dancing and this has helped with movement and stiffness. I am back now doing the exercises after a break and this has really helped.
Tap dancing is a great way to increase your overall physical activity levels and introducing impact work for your bone density. Strength training can really help compliment this as well, and we are glad to hear that exercises are helping you feel better.
I’ve had a replacement 6 weeks ago. Hurrah! No more pain! One exercise you didn’t mention is the sit to stand. I stopped being able to do this for a couple of months just before the op. It has really helped me to know what to do to get strong again. I used to do all these exercises you mentioned until I could no longer tolerate the pain! It was an MRI that proved I really needed help. I’m recovering really well because of doing your videos and exercises. Thankyou. I’m looking forward to caravanning and walking freely etc.
This is so helpful to me. My symptoms are definitely getting worse and I (stupidly) feel that it’s my fault! Great to read that others go through the same thing.
That's so great to hear! Yes, the sit to stand is another great exercise to improve lower body strength and pain tolerance. Congratulations on all the progress you've made so far, and we hope that we can continue to help you better achieve your fitness goals. Keep up the hard work!!
15:53 thanks for another great video. It was really interesting, especially about the diagnosis. I’m scared to start any exercise other than walking and swimming because when I do it always affects my back. The standing hip abductor exercise would be a real problem for my back and the bridge a bridge too far but I need to start somewhere. You have given me many options and variations to try. Just need to do them now! Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏
Remember that tolerable pain doesn't always mean further harm, and yes finding the right starting point is important so that you can focus on staying consistent and slowly progressing over time. Best of luck and do feel free to ask us any questions.
Excellent video, informative & practical! Things I've struggled with are stairs, getting out of car after long trip, standing from sitting, getting up and down from floor, putting shoes and socks on. Would it be what's making it impossible to ride a bike now. I get a pain in front of hip/thigh? Then can't put weight on that leg. Thanks guys! Great help.🙂
It's important to find a good starting point with your exercises, so that you can focus on staying consistent and progressing slowly over time. Your body will adapt and improve in its capacity to handle greater movement and loading.
Whatever the cause of your knee pain, it is important to find ways to keep being physically active. Staying consistent with your exercises is likely one of the best things you can do to help it - exercise can help decrease pain tolerance and improve overall capacity for moving and loading. This is a good video to start, take a look here: ruclips.net/video/rvPrvAz3u_I/видео.html
This is a great video. I have done the 8 week Strength Course. I am 6 months after a left hip replacement. I had a home visit once a week from an excellent Physio who really helped me doing the exercises properly and I have been wondering just what to do now. My right hip is a bit dodgy so I will continue with these. I also try to walk about a kilometre a day. How long should I continue with the exercies?
Thanks for the message! You can continue with the exercises (and progressing them as needed) indefinitely, as ongoing movement and loading of your joint will always be beneficial.
Initially, it will be well tolerated to perform them on most days. As you grow stronger and make these exercises more difficult, you can space them out throughout your week (e.g., performed every other day) to ensure that you recover well.
Certainly. Many lower body exercises will involve your glutes in some way. Use your symptoms as a guide to ensure the exercise is tolerable but also challenging.
Tell us what strategies have helped your hip osteoarthritis. Has exercise been one of those strategies?
If so, what type of exercise has helped you?

Thank you for the info and exercises and while hip OA not an issue has sent me on the hunt for knee OA video 😂
Here is a video of ours, all about knee osteoarthritis - ruclips.net/video/yQg2LBKoyfM/видео.htmlsi=DpliFacrmBXCS5hG
Another great video. I had really bad sciatica a couple of years ago, and do most of these exercises in my regular routines. Will add the standing hip adduction.
That's great! Keep up the hard work there :)
Hi thanks for sending hip OA exercises - really helpful and so positive x
You're so welcome, we're glad to be of help!
I’ve been using a tens machine on my hip and I’ve found it’s really worked on the pain

Excellent..thanks extremely informative ..
Glad it was helpful!
These five exercises are brilliant. Thanks
Glad you like them!
Thanks 🙏
You are welcome!
A great video guys! Well done! (Not used to Jack not joking around). 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it, we hope you can get used to Jack as well :)
I was surprised at the difference between the left and right leg when doing the split squats, gives me motivation to strengthen the weaker side.
Asymmetry is common and nothing to be alarmed about, but it's a great idea to train both sides to get stronger overall :)

Could you please make a video for help with pain at side of the (knee T band)
I have pain there and really sore at the top of my thigh bone thanks!
Whatever the cause of your knee pain, it is important to find ways to keep being physically active. Staying consistent with your exercises is likely one of the best things you can do to help it - exercise can help decrease pain tolerance and improve overall capacity for moving and loading.

Thanks for the message! You can continue with the exercises (and progressing them as needed) indefinitely, as ongoing movement and loading of your joint will always be beneficial.
Are these exercises useful for preventing Hip OA?
Absolutely! Moving and loading the joint can help even if you don't have osteoarthritis.
Is it ok to do these exercises everyday?
Initially, it will be well tolerated to perform them on most days. As you grow stronger and make these exercises more difficult, you can space them out throughout your week (e.g., performed every other day) to ensure that you recover well.
I have torn tendons and have been told to strengthen my gute muscles. Are these activities suitable for this purpose?
Certainly. Many lower body exercises will involve your glutes in some way. Use your symptoms as a guide to ensure the exercise is tolerable but also challenging.

Thanks for the support!
