    HIP BURSITIS STRETCHES AND EXERCISES


    Your hip bursitis is caused by inflammation of your bursa, a jelly-like sac that contains fluid. Inflammation of your bursa can cause stiffness and pain, making it difficult to sit, walk, stand, or sleep. Maintaining strength and flexibility in the hip muscles can help reduce the friction that causes the inflammation and pain. Your physician or physical therapist will recommend when to start and how often to do your hip bursitis exercises. The general recommedation is to do the stretches 2 to3 times a day and the exercises 1 to 2 times a day as tolerated. A floor mat can be useful and you will need a cushion or pillow. Start each exercise slowly, and ease off the exercise if you start having pain.
