Some wonderful research indicates that significant hip flexion movements can help significantly reduce hip osteoarthritis. This means bending past 90 degrees. If you have a hip replacement please make sure to consult with your doctor before working on this position. As the picture indicates you can hold on to a sink, stair railing, strong door knob with your feet fairly close to the cabinet or door and drop into a squat. Think of a baseball catcher stance. Holding on to a secure object with allow you to sit back a little more. Once in that position, gently shift weight from side to side. Play with the position of your feet. Being careful of hips and knees continue to shift side to side. Let your back and shoulders relax. This is a mobility exercise you should work your way into relaxing into this position. If you want to try it another way get into your deep squat position as the pictures show and shift your weight. Doing this helps to loosen hips, knees and ankles! If this is a bit much for you consider just getting down on the floor every day! This can have great effects on your joints as well as keep you used to getting up from the floor. Once you have worked on your deep squat now stretch out your back and shoulders! Place one hand on the floor and reach the other up toward the ceiling. Think long arms and tall spine. Look up at your high hand if you can. Take a couple full deep breaths and relax your arm down. Switch sides.
