Hip Rotation Exercises for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Hi! I am Monica and I am going to show you another lower extremity exercise for CRPS. This time it is for the hip. So what I want you to do is go ahead and lie down on either the ground or your back and just lie on your back, and the left leg you can do whatever you want to with it but most people find it is more comfortable if it is bent, and the right leg we are actually doing the exercise on, what you are going to want to do is start lifting your leg completely straight, and then you are going to start bending your knee, and sliding in the heels toward your butt, and then you can grab your leg and kind of pull it towards your chest. So you are really focusing on your hip here and slowly just easing your hip back down straight and coming up again. See even though your knee is doing some movement against the hip you want to make sure that you are focusing on. Just bending and straightening your hip nice and slow. Again if you can’t tolerate the full range of motion just come wherever you can, and then hopefully you will be able to progress your range of motion a little bit more and you pull your leg all the way to your chest. So again these range of motion exercises are really important to keep your muscles moving, your joints moving and help you get rid of some of that edema and swelling.
