Lower back and hip pain exercises you can do at home

Lower back as well as hip pain can be caused by factors such as mechanical injuries, muscle overuse, bone diseases, spinal disorders,and also by issues with the hip joint.

There may be other causes of pain in this region of the body, apart from those mentioned. However, these tend to be the most common causes.

In a large number of cases, pain in the lower back as well as in one or both hips is nothing serious and tends to go away with rest or with minimal intervention.

However, if the pain is severe, doesn’t go away after a few weeks, or even worsens, it is best to seek immediate medical advice from a qualified healthcare professional who can provide a diagnosis, a treatment plan and other additional information to help address the root cause of your pain and other symptoms.

How exercises help relieve pain in the lower back and hips

Provided that you pain in this region isn’t caused by anything serious, exercises are some of the best approaches to help speed up recovery, as they are non-invasive and offer multiple benefits. Needless to say, exercises can be tailored to the sufferer’s need and can be performed at a pace that is comfortable for the person.

Exercises can offer pain relief in the hips and lower back as they perform functions such as:

  • Massaging the affected region to help facilitate blood flow
  • Strengthening weak muscles if the pain is caused by lack of muscular support
  • Increase flexibility in the hips as well as other parts of the body that may contribute to the onset of this pain (e.g. relaxing tight hip flexors to increase mobility and range of movement in the hips and lower body)
