Exercises for the Hip

f you suffer from hip pain, Pilates is an excellent way to remedy discomfort. The pain is often caused by issues with nearby muscles, ligaments or tendons, although hip pain can also be referred from the lower back. While it may be tempting to keep the area immobile, regularly practicing Pilates can decrease pain significantly. This is because the joint itself benefits from gentle yet deliberate movement.

One of the most common problems I see with riders when I am doing Posture Assessments and Awareness Clinics are tight hips.

This class shows some modified Pilates exercises that can be used to help with tight hips.
