Hi, I'm Natalie, and today, Veritas Health is going to bring you three easy stretches for hip osteoarthritis pain relief. If any of these stretches increase your hip pain or cause more pain, please stop and consult with your medical provider. All of these stretches are going to help improve the flexibility of the muscles that connect into the hip joint.
To do this stretch, you can use a chair or a wall or a countertop, or just something for some support. The first stretch I'm going to show you guys is a hip flexor stretch. Put your hands on a nice steady surface and put the leg you want to stretch behind you. Then shift your weight forward until you feel a gentle stretch through the whole front of your hip. You can hold this stretch for about 30 seconds and work your way up to performing about three times on each side.
The next stretch I'm going to show you guys is an inner leg stretch. Put your hand on some surface for a little support and put your feet a little bit wider than hip width. Then shift your weight to one side until you feel a gentle stretch through the inside of your thigh. You can hold this stretch for about 30 seconds and you'll work your way up, performing about three times on each side.
The final stretch I'll show you guys is a piriformis stretch. To do this, you can sit in a chair and place your ankle on top of your other knee, then sit up nice and tall until you feel a gentle stretch through the butt. Hold this stretch for about 30 seconds and work up performing three times on each side.
