Welcome to day 1 of this 5-part hip pain relief series! You will see a few stretches, massages, and strengthening exercises in this series that will give you a deeper understanding of your hip so you can reduce pain and improve its health and function!

Today you will be doing a nice hip rotation stretch. Many of you are aware of hip flexor stretches, but most people also need help improving their hip rotation. This stretch will stretch the muscles around the hip in your glute area and the deep hip musculature and ligaments. The stretch you will get from this movement may feel very new to you.

Hold the stretch on each side for a few seconds after each repetition. Do 10-40 repetitions. If this position is too difficult to sit in, use a bolster under the butt to lift you off of the ground and reduce the stretch in the hips or the tension on the knees. 

Tomorrow, you will be diving into some massages to help relieve pain in or around the hip.
