Stretches for hip pain postpartum

Hi there new Sports Medicine Northwest patient!

This video will serve as cliffs notes for a new patient who just began treatment in the clinic today.  She has had difficulty stabilizing her left hip since her pregnancy last year. This manifests as pubic symphysis pain in the mornings, piriformis pain, and lower back pain with lunges and stairs.  This combo of 3 simple stretches and one stability move is the starting off point of her rehab.

This stuff may seem a bit tedious but set a good foundation now and it won’t be too long before we integrate kettles and other more interesting/challenging moves.
