If your hips feel tight after sitting all day, working out, or even just moving around, these 3 simple exercises can help loosen them up and improve your hip mobility.

Save this for the next time your hips are feeling stiff.

If the tightness or pain doesn't improve, it's a good idea to get assessed by one of our physiotherapists here at The Online Physiotherapist.

Hip pain isn't always the same problem.

Two common causes show up with very different signs: weak glutes and tight hip flexors.

If your knee caves in during a squat, or your hip drops when you stand on one leg, that's often a sign of underactive glutes. If your hip feels tight after sitting, or your lower back seems to arch more than usual, that's more likely tight, overactive hip flexors.

Understanding which one you're dealing with matters, because the fix is different for each. Strengthening a muscle that's already tight won't help, and stretching a muscle that's already weak won't either.

Swipe through to see which pattern matches what you're feeling, and where to start.

So what does that mean for you?

Your scan isn't a crystal ball. Hip shape differences like this show up in tons of people, and a lot of them feel nothing at all. Your pain is usually coming from how your hip moves and works day to day, not just what it looks like in a picture.

I've seen two people with almost identical scans have completely different experiences. That's why I don't just treat the image. I treat you.

If you've been told to "just live with it" because of what a scan showed, let's talk. Send me a DM and let's figure out what's actually going on. 👋

Hip pain when you run? 🏃‍♀️

Try these on your next run:
✅ Stretch before you head out
✅ Shorten your stride
✅ Keep feet under your hips (no crossover)

Small tweaks, big difference. 💪

Hip pain isn't really a hip problem. It's a glute problem.

Research keeps showing the same thing: people dealing with lateral hip pain (GTPS) tend to have weaker hip abductors than people who don't have it. Not more wear and tear. Not tighter muscles. Weakness.

A 2025 study found something worth paying attention to too. People with GTPS who trained regularly had stronger hip abductors, better function, and noticeably less pain than those who didn't.

And the advice that actually helps? Stretching a compressed tendon can make things worse. Gradual loading and strengthening is what works (Grimaldi & Fearon, 2015).
Your hip isn't fragile. It's under-supported.

DM us if your hip needs a plan. 💪

Worried that online physiotherapy might not work for you?

The truth is, online physio follows the same evidence-based approach as in-person care. Most people don't need a scan straight away, and if your recovery isn't going as expected, we'll help guide you to the next best step.
Your recovery comes first—and if we can't help, we'll tell you.

Here's something we hear a lot from patients: "I just figured this elbow pain was part of getting older."

But here's the thing, the elbow doesn't wear out on its own the way a hip or knee can. When elbow arthritis shows up, it's usually the result of years of repetitive strain, think lifting, gripping, throwing, or repetitive work tasks, catching up with you.

So if you've got stiffness, aching, or trouble fully straightening your arm, it's not "just age." It's often a pattern your elbow has been dealing with for years, and it's very treatable.

If you're struggling to carry groceries, open jars, or fully straighten your arm without pain, send us a DM. Let's get to the root of it 👇

Elbow pain every time you play tennis? 🎾🔥

It's probably NOT your elbow. Tight forearms and wrists are usually the culprit — stretch these out and watch the pain fade. Save this for your next warm-up 👇

Spent forever blaming everything except your forearm? Turns out, tennis elbow has nothing to do with tennis for most people. Here's what's actually causing it 👇
