Hip (Trochanteric) Bursitis Exercises

Hip Bridges

Hip bridges work many muscle groups, including quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and hip flexors. They play an important part in supporting your hip joints. Therefore, this exercise can be great for improving hip strength. Firstly, lie flat on the back. Bend both legs and keep the feet flat on the floor. Raise the hip by transferring the body weight down to the heels. Make sure the hips are aligned with the knees and shoulders. You should feel the driving motion in the hamstrings and glutes. Slowly sink the hips back to the floor. Do 5 sets of 20 reps. [2]
