Introducing Our Hip Pain Relief Program

SHARE

Our hips are essential to everyday movements like walking, sitting down in a chair, stepping side to side, lunging, picking things up off the floor, squatting, twisting our legs, and more. If the muscles around our hips get too tight or too weak, they can throw off our alignment and limit our range of motion, making all of those movements challenging and painful. That’s why keeping our hips healthy, well-aligned, and pain-free is so crucial – it has a direct effect on how we feel in our bodies as we move throughout the day.

So, how can we make our hips happy? Our resident physical therapist taught us that the key to relieving and preventing hip pain is to stretch and strengthen the muscles that surround them. The Primal 7 Hip Pain Relief Program will help you to do both.

What is it?

Our Hip Pain Relief Program is a four-week program designed to improve your range of motion, flexibility, and strength, so you can have strong, healthy hips. Made up of seven videos from our resident physical therapist, Jenna Ellis, this program gives you ten-minute routines that can be done daily or every other day.

This program will help you to:

  1. Understand what causes hip pain

  2. Improve flexibility in tight muscles that limit your hip joint

  3. Strengthen weak muscles to keep your hips in better alignment

  4. Re-educate the muscles surrounding your hip to work correctly

  5. Achieve full range of hip joint motion with proper movement mechanics

 

Is this program for you?

This program was designed for anyone who...

  • is currently dealing with hip pain.

  • is looking to protect their hips from future injuries.

  • wants a short, daily routine to keep their hips healthy.

What to expect:

Like our Foundations Program, this program is based on the ABCs of healthy movement; alignment, balance, and coordination. All three parts include an instructional video with in-depth, slow-paced explanations of each exercise as well as a follow-along video with music and a timer to guide your sessions.

Part one and week one are all about practicing perfect alignment. That means doing holds. No quick movements, reps, or equipment changes – just getting comfortable in the positions. Since hip pain tends to be rooted in tightness and weakness, the postures we’ve chosen for this program work to stretch and strengthen the muscles around your hips. This will put your body in a better starting position and give you the strength you need for everyday movements like walking, lowering yourself down into a chair, and picking groceries up off the floor. 

Part two and week two focus on maintaining proper alignment and balance as you move. Working with the same postures as part one, part two incorporates reps (repeated movements) and guides you as you move between start and end positions. The goal here is to learn how your body behaves and feels while moving with correct posture. 

Part three makes up weeks three and four of the program. In this part, you’ll continue with reps, work on coordination, and ramp up the intensity. The goal of this last part is to challenge yourself, build endurance, and increase your power. 

How much time will it take?

All of the routines in this program are meant to be completed in ten minutes or less.  

To make the corrections stick, we recommend you do these routines daily or every other day. (You need to convince your body to change by repeating the correct movement over and over until it becomes normal!)

The three parts of the program are mapped out to span four weeks, but we encourage you to listen to your body and go at your own pace. Maybe that means spending an extra week or two in Part Two of the program – maybe that means continuing to do Part Three for years to come. Do what feels right for you.

How to get started:

For this program, all you’ll need is a Primal 7 system and the seven videos below.

Essentially, the instructional videos are all about learning and the follow-along videos are all about doing.  Be sure to watch the instructional videos first, so you can complete the follow-along videos with perfect form.
