Re: Now I have hip pain any ideas?

Posted by Elise on 1/18/99
I also had hip pains, which I think was caused by walking improperly for so long. The pain started after I had my orthotics adjusted, so I had the adjustment removed and that helped. In addition, my rehab doctor gave me exercises for my "S1" joints??, as follows:

1) Lie on your back with 1 knee bent and foot touching the floor. Bend the opposite leg and pull it into your chest. Inhale for 4, exhale for 4. Do the same with your opposite leg. Do 3 repetitions. Then pull both legs in, same breathing, 3 repetitions.

2) Cross one leg over the other at the knee, and then pull your legs into your chest. Same breathing, alternating legs.

I also was doing leg lifts, thinking it was one of the few exercises I could do for my stomach, but my doctor told me to stop because they were terrible for my S1 joints.
