Hip Pain when Sitting? Do this!
Published: Dec 24, 2023 | Tag: hip pain
Another day sitting. Another day with annoying, chronic hip pain. You hear "sitting is the new smoking" so all this sitting must be why you're in constant hip pain.
But what are you supposed to do!? Sitting at the office is how you survive. It's how you pay the bills. You can't just go living like a caveman.
What causes Hip pain when Sitting?
Over a decade ago, I suffered from debilitating chronic hip pain. During this time, I was working myself through law school. And then eventually became an attorney.
Note: Physical inactivity is often a greater culprit than the act of sitting itself. The human body is designed to move; stagnation leads to muscle atrophy and stiffening of joint structures.
Once I prioritized more MOVEMENT throughout the day, sitting became more comfortable. I began to enjoy sitting and not fear it.
How to Reduce Hip Pain when Sitting
We learned that it is not so much sitting that causes hip pain but a lack of physical activity. To feel better, we need to feed our body with movement. But not just any movement.
There is a misconception that because there is pain in the hip, the problem is in the hip. And even more specifically, the problem is exactly where the pain is.
