It would only make sense that a hip and core program would help fix hip issues.  Yet, as many have noticed, the Hip & Core Band doesn’t offer a specific rehab program for hip pain.

There is one for knee and back pain…but nothing for the hip!

…what gives?

The reason is due to the varying nature of hip pain.  And in a rehab plan, sometimes it’s necessary to avoid overloading problem areas too early.

Since many of the exercises of the Hip & Core program target the hip muscles for conditions such as hip bursitis or gluteus tendonitis, performing the program too early might make symptoms a bit worse. While the long-term fix for these issues is to improve hip and core strength, it’s only after an appropriate period of rest and mobilization.

Regarding other common causes of hip pain (hip impingement, arthritis, and labral tears), the Hip & Core program is a great corrective approach to start early in the treatment plan.

It is our goal at Crossover Symmetry to provide simple at-home solutions to end pain and reduce the risk of injury. We are very careful in prescribing our programs for specific conditions that may exacerbate the symptoms.

We are currently working with our medical team to develop extra screening and programming to help guide the implementation of the Hip & Core program for those suffering from hip pain.

However, if you are currently looking for a solution to hip issues, don’t be scared to give the Hip & Core program a try!

At worse, it generates a bit of discomfort, an indicator that you should back off the program for the time being.  In that case, put it away until you’re ready to focus on strengthening because that time will come!

Or, with the guidance of a physical therapist, the hip band will make your home exercises much more enjoyable, and you’ll have a piece of equipment to keep you healthy for your forever program when the time is right.

We hope you find a simple solution to address your pain and keep it from returning!
