- Building strength is a powerful tool for hip arthritis relief ✅
If you have arthritic hips and are looking to feel stronger, more confident and balanced- this video will walk you through the best exercises. Starting with the easiest exercise and progressing in difficulty- here are 5 movements to master.
Learn from Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, physical therapist and osteoarthritis specialist as she shows you how to build up the appropriate muscles to support the hip. These include the glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps and core.
Resistance training can be effective in helping to relieve symptoms of hip osteoarthritis like groin tightness, limping when walking, hip stiffness and front of the hip tightness. The goal is to make sure the strengthening exercises don't flare up arthritis pain. Only progress when your body is ready.

If you have sore hips, complete rest likely is not indicated. Movement can be a way to help to improve blood flow, flush out inflammation and reduce stiffness.

Both of my knees are in very bad shape. I had a second knee replacement last April and it’s not good.
I am so looking forward to watching the videos and doing the exercises
This lady is amazing how deeply she seems to care about every person she is talking to.
Thank you! Glad you like the channel!
I know. I just found her and she is awesome!
Wait…I’m supposed to do these “consistently “? Smile……This channel is a life changer for me…thank you
You're so welcome! Glad you like the channel.
If you are sedentary, get up every 1 or 2 hours and do these exercises. I ended up having to scrap my vehicle 2 years ago right in the middle of the Covid crisis. I live in a rural area...no busses, Uber is expensive. I LITERALLY became a couch potato all this time and now I am a mess. MY FAULT. I KNOW if you don't use it, you will LOSE IT. I have slipped discs, arthritic hips, tight glutes and flexors. I got lazy. Now, it is more difficult and I have to work 3 times as hard to regain what I lost AND to get better than THAT!!
@@brendastolecki4755 yep…. Arthritic hip …I do 20 minutes first thing every morning ( leg hangs) and try to fill an additional 40 minutes over my retired day…smile… does help….
Alyssa...I have done these exercises 2 days in a row and after hobbling with my right hip for years, these exercises are working..you are a true inspirational godsend. So grateful..thank you.
.
Happy to hear you’re feeling better!
Indeed.
I have 12 weeks of recovery from broken hip. I have been through PT and going to exercise at pool. Still limping but using cane. I am going to start these exercises, and I am glad someone else agrees
Dr Alyssa Kuhn, I am Dr Tahera, from Bothell. Would like to congratulate you on this brilliant video
You are doing a great service for the community. God bless you.
thank you for the kind words!
🎉
Wow excellent dr
Thanking you for these exercises, and I appreciate how very clear you explain all details with images and schematics.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.
I struggle with embarrassment that I've let myself get so unfit. While I have some arthritis I knew it was muscle weakness and loss of stability and strength in my muscles and tendons and ligaments. I'd found other worthy videos but was too weak, inflexible, and unstable to do them without great discomfort the next day...meaning I wouldn't/couldnt continue without increasing pain killers. Your breaking down all movement to its increments first is the key to keeping me improving. I am so very thankful.
You got this! It's a marathon not a sprint. Stay positive.
@patriciaorgas694 You are not alone. I have the same feeling.
🎉
@@arthritisadventureThank you🎉
You are absolutely not alone!
I work with pts doing physical therapy everyday. I always find it amazing how people are so quick to jump to the surgical route before trying exercise and getting rid of inflammatory foods. So glad you are spreading the word about this simple, non-invasive option that can decrease pain tremendously. Kudos to all of you who are willing to try something that will actually help your body heal instead of running to the doctor for more meds, shots, and surgery.
Yes! Anything to avoid surgery.
I really love that you explain what each exercise helps you do in daily life. I have been working my inner thighs for a few weeks now and that has been a great help! Thank you! Although, you need to tell us how we get those powerful legs you're walking on lol.....I'm not kidding. I want those, I need those!! I'm tired of tripping over a speck of dust lol...not really funny tho.
I’m so grateful for you. You are giving me hope in improving my mobility and getting rid of the pain. Lack of mobility can make you old before your time. Keep moving everyone.
Thanks, just came at the right time think I’m ready to proceed to these ones, can’t believe how far I’ve come since following you I could barely do your gentle seated and standing workout, now I was out pressure washing the yard for 2 days this weekend, l can’t say it’s all been easy, finding what irritated my hip and what helped, besides your targeted movements to gently release my hip it’s now the strength training I’ve been able to do, now I have more movement that’s really helping my progress, I’m still not able to climb a stair R leg leading it’s always the L but I believe this strength training will get me there eventually. I can now put all my weight on R hip and do proper weight transference in the stepping exercises, I always get a few in whilst waiting for the coffee machine to brew my first morning cup!
Thank you for this. I have arthritis but I’m fairly young, mid 40’s. There’s a lot that I cannot do anymore and my mobility is limited. I have arthritic spine, knees, and right shoulder. These exercises look very good at improving mobility and working on weak areas with minimal weight and smaller range of movement. Very good for someone like me who should not be lifting heavy or doing high intensity exercises
I’ve been searching for a handful of hip strengthening exercises and yours is just what I need. Even with the “easiest” exercise of squeezing the pillow I feel my hip muscles working. Great practice! ❤
Glad to hear you found some good ones now! The pillow is a great tactic.
I've started doing these exercises and have more energy and feeling alive again. Many thanks, love and blessings from South Africa ❤
So great to hear! I'd like to get to South Africa at some point.
Miss Alyssa..., your concise explanations of these Exercises is so great, because
F o r m is so important to doing Exercises that improve ones Health and Life. .... and feeling confidence to do them CONSISTENTLY, as you stated.
Dr. Alyssa.... Your Channel is a Godsend , and I mean that ...I have suffered so much intermittent pain after a Tail Bone injury.,and I can't begin to tell you how much your Channel has improved my functionality and " getting myself back " to a place where I was ,prior to that taking place. 🙏🏻✨️👏🏻♡
Thank you so much for sharing and I'm glad you're seeing a benefit from the channel. Your support means the world to me!
Dr Alyssa Kuhn , I am Dr Tahera from Bothell.
Hats off for this great community service.
Thank you for your very nice exercises. I do them every morning and they have really helped me. Thanks❤
God bless those who can do this… The reality is if your hips have passed their expiration date, as mine has, these move are impossible and useless. Can’t even stand up straight anymore.. But best wishes to the ones who still can.
Thank you for this video Alyssa. You explain and demonstrate things so well.
You are so welcome!
Wow you know what you are talking about. Finally! I worked with 4 PT and 2 of them were DR. Same basic stretches, electric stimulus, ultra sound. I wish you were my PT! When you demonstrate the exercises, I can see your thigh muscles, calves being activated so you must have a strong core and muscle balance.
Grateful for your tips!
Glad you like them!
Thank you for sharing this
You are so welcome!
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP ❤😊

Loved the exercises. I am 49. Of late my left hip, and knee hurt a lot and my left ankle is stiff… feels like my left side is very weak. After one round of these exercises the pain went down significantly and I feel stronger…I actually start my day with your exercises (knees, hips, ankles, single leg strength) and then move on to anything else. Thank you! 🙏
Thank you!

Thanks, glad you like the channel!
Great video Alyssa. My hip osteoarthritis has created a lot of pain in and around my kneecap. Especially getting in and out of the car is like "wow!" painful around the kneecap. In most cases, I feel these sharp pains in my kneecap vs. my hip mobility issues. Is this femoral pain syndrome? suggestions? I'm working to strengthen the hip area with exercises.
Similar problem here but I get into the car arse first then hold my legs together and swing them in - bit girly but anything to stop the pain !
Great video, love that you explain how the exercise translates into every day activities ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Will try it
Best of luck!
Great exercises. I’m going to do this as my new evening routine.
Enjoy!
i am very very happy to find your chanel,In the last 4 weeks I had been living with pain and medication only help 40 per cent. it caused so much agnony for me in term of mobility.Thank you so much!
Thanks and welcome!
Thankyou so much for this video ❤😢
You're so welcome!
Nice, I love it!
Glad you love it!
Back again, one of my faves.
Great!
I love you! You help me no end with my painful, arthritic hips. Thank you ❤
I'm so glad to hear you've seen a lot of benefit!
This video is remarkable! These are not exercises I have come up with; and yes! I feel the areas i need to strengthen being targeted. 5 stars!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
So glad to hear you like it!
Thanks
Absolutely! Thanks for the support!
My goodness me, this video is exceptional. Not only really careful instructions on how to do the exercises but explanation on how they help in real life movements.
Absolutely superb, thank you so much.
You're very welcome! Thanks for the great feedback!
Thankyou so much for a nice clear explanation may Allahtaala bless you

Glad you liked it!
I’m glad I came across your page because I’m having problems with my hips.
I'm glad you've found the channel too! Welcome.
Thank you sister.Gbu
You are so welcome!
thks
You're welcome.
I need your help in my life I truly thank God for you
I'm so glad you found me!
This feels great and does not hurt doing them. No weights yet.
Weights can be a progression down the line. Great job getting started!
UR Great
Thank you. You are very clear on instructions.
I was just saying that very thing to my son !
Glad it was helpful! Glad you like the pace of the instruction.
I have had to give up side leg lifts because of sciatic strain, so I appreciate these alternatives.
You're welcome! Good luck with them.
Thank you for your support 😢😮
You’re welcome!
Thank you Alyssa. I’ll give these exercises a try and see what happens. I have a question: since my husband has started taking Lipitor a few months ago, I’ve been noticing that he has been losing muscle strength in his quads. He has been stubbing his toes as he is going up stairs. What do you suggest for strengthening them? Thank you so much for all you do. 😀
These are better than what my PT gave me.
It would be really helpful for new people if you put NUMBERS (for the five exercises) in the "chapter titles so that when I use the cursor to scrub through the bred time-line under the video, that I can tell where I am. Thanks.
Unfortunately I’m not able to modify the chapter titles.
Very good video!! I 've been diagnosed with severe osteoartritis in both of the hips bone on bone since 2019
My surgeon recommends me hip replacement but I want to give a try to the exercises. In case I have to get surgery at some point, which procedure you would recommwnd me: hip replacement or hip resurfacing?? Im 51, thin guy. In good shape and also tey to walk one hour everyday. Having a good rest is something that Im still dealing with every night. Thank you in advance for your advise!!
Thanks for the exercises. Please do suggest some exercises for pain in shoulder and arms.
You're welcome! My full body progressions, different levels and extensive workout library are in my membership Adventurers for Life. You can learn more here. www.keeptheadventurealive.com/start
If you can make specific exercises like you do in your small videos.
Thank you so much can seniors so thesee noves age 73 but healthy
So happy to have come across your very well presented videos! If you do them every other day and find great improvement, how often should you continue for the years to come?
Great question- it’s important to continue to progress the difficulty. Once these exercises become easy, you’ll need more difficult ones. Or you’ll need to make these more difficult with more resistance.
Dear Alyssa, are these exercises useful in case of loosened prothesis? I'll be operated next summee, and i'd like to keep the prithesis in place some way or another. Thank you
Will these exercises help the pain in my lower spine? I’ve had a hard time strengthening muscles to help my back pain. Thank you!!!
6:25 May I suggest “kayaking” or “canoeing” or “paddling”?
They are movements about the vertical axis.
Rowing is back and forth.
Best advice I'm run across. Hands down. Bar none.
Glad you liked it
Thank you, Alyssa
Great content & explanations/tips as always.
What does the “Row the boat” exercise do- don’t see the benefit for the hips in that one ?
Thank you
The benefit is in the balance. Like I mentioned in the video, your hips are primary drivers for balance and keeping your hips stable.
Thank you for sharing. I've been having trouble with the right hip since last year. I'm going to be 60 in June looking for exercise to get stronger .
You got this! Happy early birthday.
I had a pain on my outer left thigh and I just did the first part of the exercise in your video two reps and the pain is gone. Thanks, I just subscribed.
Great job! Thanks for subscribing!
Alyssa do you do a series class on osteoporosis? Thank you

czcams.com/video/1p63so9Cx-s/video.html
Hello. Thank you for this video. The first two exercise- are they like using the abduct/adduct machine? If so I find the outer thigh machine helps my hips & knees. Should I keep the weight extremely low or keep going higher in weight as I get stronger & there’s no strain? Again, thank you.
Hi can i do these exercise for Hip AVN
I can’t tell how far your heels are from the wall. That seems like it would work better for me. Thank you!
Yes! "You got me"! Inflammation, tight and suddenly weak muscles, so infuriating!
I love your image of MY body which hurts from shoulder blades to calves. I'm getting on to these exercises immediately.... Will get back to you in a couple of weeks!
Great to hear! Good luck with the movements!

Hi Dr. Alyssa, new sub. Will these exercises help my hip bursitis?
Potentially- it depends on how they feel for you as not all experiences with hip bursitis are the same.
I have bone ossification at the site of my hip replacement which is actually more restrictive and painful than the original osteoarthritis. Have you encountered this and prescribed any remedial exercises which may help? I'm told surgery for this is not often successful due to reoccurrence of bone growth. Thank you.
Hi, are these exercises suitable for my husband who has had bilateral hip replacements one 10 years ago and one 5 years ago? He is 73 and I want him to retain his mobility. Thank you
I have bilateral hip bursitis and gluteus minimus tears, are these exercises safe for me to do?
@arthritisadventure would a small (about a small beach ball size)Pilates ball work for that first exercise.
I have three herniated discs but over time my pain went for my lower back to my hips add my glutes on the side so my question is will this benefit me let me know thanks
I have left hip junctional acetabular labral tear
Great exercises. I was wondering...I had a hip replacement 12 yrs ago. Are these exercises OK to do?
Yes- usually for hip replacements that far out, you don’t have any precautions. But it does depend on how they feel for you.
