Multi Directional Hip Movements

Multi directional hip movements is a great exercise for hip stability, core strength and is part of a stage 2 protocol of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. (PFPS) 

The multi directional hip movements exercise is performed by having a loop of resistance band attached to something immovable. Place one foot through the loop. You will then perform 10 of each of these multi directional hip movements - inwards, forwards, backwards and to the side. 

PFPS is a common condition that particularly can effect runners. It has an insidious onset (gradual over time with no real incident to cause it) and can become debilitating. It normally shows itself with knee pain when squatting, knee pain after running, knee pain whilst running, knee pain when bending and knee pain after squats.

PFPS knee pain is treatable and I have put together a range of PFPS exercises. these will all be placed in a playlist or hosted on my website. https://spireinjuryclinic.com/pfps
