Top 5 Exercises For Hip I...

Exercises can be helpful in managing hip impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Hip impingement occurs when there is abnormal contact between the bones in the hip joint, which can cause pain, limited range of motion, and cartilage damage.

Lie on your side with your knees bent. Put a strap around your top ankle.
Hold the strap and pull the ankle towards your buttock. Tighten the buttock muscles and straighten your hip. Hold the stretch and then relax.

Lie on your back and bend your affected knee.
Cross this leg over your other knee, placing the outside of your ankle just above the knee of your good leg.
Let the knee on your affected leg drop out to the side, and bend the good leg, sliding your heel towards your buttocks.
You may feel a stretch through your affected buttock.
To increase this stretch, interlace your fingers behind the thigh of your good leg, and pull your thigh in towards you, lifting the foot off the ground.
To increase this stretch further still, push your elbow into the thigh of your affected leg.
Hold this position.

Sit down on the mat with the soles of your feet together, and drop your knees out to the side.
Press your knees towards the floor with your elbows, increasing the stretch in your inner thigh.
 

Kneel on the floor and place the unaffected foot in a large stride in front of you.
Push the hips forwards evenly and keep your body straight until you feel the stretch in the front of the hip on your back leg.
Hold this position.

Lie on your side with your legs bent and stacked on top of each other.
Tie a resistance band around your knees and activate your core stability muscles.
Keep your feet together and lift your top knee taking care not to allow your body to roll backwards and then lower back to the starting position.
Control the movement as your knee returns to the start position and then repeat.
