When your hips are flexed in an unnatural position, this can cause fatigue and eventual pain around your hips. Marc Albano, a physical therapist at Sharp Grossmont Hospital’s Outpatient Rehabilitation Center, demonstrates three hip pain relief exercises: a hip flexor stretch, side lying clam and bridges. Before you start these hip stretches, consider consulting your physical therapist or doctor to see if these exercises are right for you.

When arthritis pain interferes with daily activity, it may be time to consider total hip replacement. Dr. Steven Allsing an orthopedic surgeon affiliated with Sharp Grossmont Hospital, discusses when to see a doctor.
