hey hey. impossible to say what if any exercises may help without some ( or a lot ) more info! the hip is one of the joints least affected by hypermobility as its structurally very stable but it may well be the root of the pain. there are other structures in the region that could be responsible for "hip" pain also.

where exactly do you get the pain?
describe it.

what brings it on/makes it worse?
what eases it?

any trouble with this hip before?
any pain anywhere else, back etc.. not just now but over the past few years?

i assume you have some of the classic signs of hypermobility?

placing hands flat on floor?
bend thumb to touch forearm?
ever dislocate knee/shoulder?
would you consider yourself double-jointed?


i too am hypermobile. it can be quite a pain! i tore my right acl almost two years ago, a reconstruction with both menisci repaired and a follow on arthroscopy later im just about ready to get back to competitive sport. i obviously cant blame the tear just on being hypermobile but it certainly doesnt help. over the last couple of years i've had neck, shoulder, low back/Wikipedia reference-linksij/hip and knee problems, all quite severe at the times but have managed to get over most things with appropriate management. recurrent flare ups and widespread pain can be a hallmark of hypermobility syndrome. i've known for a long time about my excessive joint movement etc but for someone who isnt as aware this could be a frightening condition because of all these flare ups and changing pain patterns. have good read up on the condition.

if you could get access there are some papers by simmonds and keer from manual therapy journal in 2007 that give a good basic intro (in physio terms!) to hypermobility and a couple of case studies of management of the condition. if you cant get access, pm me, maybe i can sort you out.
