front of it.

your affected hip until you feel a stretch.

seconds, then slowly lower your leg.

Clamshell
1. Lie on your side, with your affected hip on top and your head propped on a pillow. Keep your feet
and knees together and your knees bent.
2. Raise your top knee, but keep your feet together. Do not let your hips roll back. Your legs should
open up like a clamshell.

Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all
