Hip pain doesnโt always need complicated treatments to start improving ๐ sometimes the right movements make all the difference. At Pinecrest Chiropractic in Fuquay-Varina, NC ๐ฅ, we teach patients simple stretches and strengthening exercises that restore proper hip function and stability ๐ช. If hip pain is slowing you down, learn more here ๐ https://pinecrestchiropractic.com/conditions/hip-pain/ ๐โจ
We begin with mobility, starting with a low lunge stretch to target the hip flexors ๐. This stretch isnโt about strength - itโs about opening tight tissues while keeping your posture tall and controlled. Next, we move into 90/90 rotations, which help improve internal and external hip rotation while identifying restricted ranges ๐ง .
But hereโs the key ๐ stability matters more than mobility. Tight hips are often weak hips โก. Thatโs why we prioritize exercises like clamshells, which activate the glute med and stabilize the pelvis. You should feel the burn on the side of the hip and into the glutes ๐๐ฅ - thatโs where real change happens.
We also strengthen the hip flexors with controlled seated lifts and finish with bird dogs, a core stability exercise ๐งฑ. A strong core supports the pelvis and takes stress off the hip joint, improving how everything moves together.
These five exercises make a real difference - but doing the right ones matters. Want help dialing this in for your specific hip issue? Come see us. Letโs chat ๐๐
