* Umbrella page, benefits of hip exercises .............................................................. Exercises which address hip pain can mean any number of things. Routines can be preventive, corrective or rehabilitative. Certainly, if you are experiencing hip pain that is out of the ordinary or persistent, you need to get it evaluated by a doctor ASAP. Chances are, whether your aims are to prevent or relieve pain, the following hip exercises are likely to help. However, remember that your hips are connected to other important muscles and structures, like the buttocks, lower back and abs. So it is absolutely vital that those areas are also supple, strong and flexible. Strengthening and flexibility exercise for hip would be useless if these other parts were neglected. In fact, a major cause of injuries is assymetry of body parts. That occurs when some parts are especially strong or are especially flexible while other parts are much weaker or stiffer. This imbalance occurs naturally when you engage in certain activities. So right handed tennis player have right forearms that are much stronger than than any other arm part. Runners have legs that are way stronger than their upper bodies. That may be somewhat unavoidable but it also results in the stronger body part overcompensating for the weaker parts. This could result in injury to the strong body part. It could also result in injury to the weak body part if there's a sudden demand it do something it's not trained to do. That’s all to say that, if you need to target your hips with a few extra hip exercises, fine. But do not forget to address the other body parts also.
