Hip impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), causes pain in the front of the hip, especially during activities like prolonged sitting.
We help patients with hip impingement rehabilitation exercises in Charlotte and Huntersville, NC, to relieve pain and strengthen the surrounding muscles for better joint support.
Kneel on one of your knees with the other foot in front. Shift your hips forward gently while keeping your trunk upright. You should feel a stretch at the front of your hip on the kneeling side. Hold for 20–30 seconds and repeat on both sides.
Lie on your side with your knees bent and feet together. Keeping your feet in contact, slowly lift your top knee as if opening a clamshell. Lower back down with control. Perform 12–15 repetitions on each side.
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet on the floor. Press through your heels to lift your hips toward the ceiling until your shoulders, hips, and knees form a straight line. Hold briefly, then lower back down. Aim for 10–15 repetitions.
To stretch the Piriformis muscle, lie on your back and cross one ankle over the opposite knee. Gently pull the uncrossed leg toward your chest until you feel a stretch in the outer hip and buttock of the crossed leg. Hold for 20–30 seconds, then switch sides.
