weight training for hip strength

Hi Rebecca,

If you are asking a question, can you be more specific? Did the client experience a shooting pain in the back, or had a shot in the back? More information is needed, please.

Hello Rebecca Joy Clem,
I would check with the doctor and physical therapist, then progress slowly. Do not work through the pain. Listen to the body, only do the moves that are pain free and stay in the pain free ROM.
Take care,
Natalie aka NAPS 2 B Fit.

Natalie’s and Christine’s answers are right on. Against resistance, abduction, adduction, external and internal rotation, extension (for the glutes,) and don’t forget flexion. All of these may be helpful, but only after a doctor’s clearance. Good luck.

His/her PT and/or MD should be able to give you a better answer here. If your client is in PT then consult with the attending Physical Therapist and build upon that program. I agree with the others as well.

There are many components that go into the strength of the hips and back pain. Namely, Spinal/core stabilization, abdominal strength, oblique strength, Anterior hip flexibility, posterior hip flexibility, hamstring flexibility, hip rotation, hip extension, ankle mobility, and foot strength.
It would be helpful to assess each of these and look for components that may break down and cause deviations from the feet moving upward toward the stable core.
At OCFC we specialize in an assessment and reassessment process that creates a standard of movement for our members to build a solid foundation.
Please let me know if you need help.
