STOP doing THIS for inner thigh pain with hip arthritis (UPDATED)

Рет қаралды 57,970

Күн бұрын

This exercise could actually increase groin pain and inner thigh pain 😣
And even better, here are three exercises to focus on instead. This pain can be one of the most common symptoms of hip osteoarthritis. Groin pain and tightness can limit walking, going up and down the stairs and even getting in the car. But, there is something you can do about it!
3 Day Walking Challenge: keeptheadventurealive.com/wal...
One of the main reasons inner thigh and groin muscles can become irritated is likely from overuse, compensating for other hip muscles that may be weakened. Especially when walking, now the inner thigh muscles have to work harder than they are used to.
The best way to find relief is to add variety to your training. Moving in different directions can help to reduce the tension and pain and allow other muscles to do their jobs. Join Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, physical therapist and osteoarthritis specialist as she walks you through the one exercise to avoid and the 3 exercises to focus on instead.

I was recently diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis. When I asked to be referred for physical therapy, the doctor told me therapy can possibly worsen my condition and nothing more was done for me. End of conversation. I found a massage therapist who greatly helped with the pain I was experiencing. And I am so very grateful I found you! Thank you for your willingness to educate us!

I think I found out about my problem thanks to you. I have hip pain in my groin area all the around to the side of my hip. I do leg kicks for my stretch routine, I do hip 90/90 rotations, and kneeling quad and squats. When my orthopedic did an impingement exam with my left hip and took my leg to my right shoulder, I felt the pain on the side of my hip and around my buttocks. Doing those quad exercises/stretches, I can feel pain when doing it. I just did these 3 exercises along with you just now and felt nothing (although the last one was complicated like you stated so I used the wall. It does feel weird but I know practice makes perfect) except it's working (lol). So I will eliminate those to see if it will make a difference. You have a new subscriber here! Edit: I was already subscribed to you. I just researched what to do about my pain in my groin area and your video popped up.

I have intermittent pain in the right hip, sometimes pulling in the groin. It can kick in when I walk, although it's not so bad if I walk with a purpose. The worst is the kind of slow, shuffling walk that you might do when browsing in a shop, that sort of thing. When I do that, it definitely gets worse. I've tried some of your exercises, and they have helped. I also experiment with other movements. So here's my question. After doing your side-to-side steps, I tried side lunges. I still have a decent amount of leg strength (I'm 70), so I tried stepping into a very wide stance, at least twice shoulder length. Then, I bend a leg and do a kind of side lunge. Not deep, but enough to feel the pull inside the other leg, in the groin area. Then shift to the other side, back and forth. I only go as deep as I can go comfortably. This movement seems to help. If I'm walking and start to feel pain and my gait shortening, a few of these side lunges really seem to help. But of course, I don't want to do anything that might actually be harming me. So that's my question: Is this a good thing to be doing?
