About

The Centre for Health, Exercise & Sports Medicine (CHESM) at the University of Melbourne is excited to announce the release of My Hip Exercise (https://myhipexercise.org.au/).

My Hip Exercise guides people with hip pain through education about hip pain and exercise, a 6 month strengthening exercise program that progresses through 3 programs which can be completed independently at home, and creating plans to increase physical activity.

  • Provides an evidence-based self-directed 6-month strengthening and physical activity program plus educational information
  • Contains useful patient resources (including log books for strengthening exercises and physical activity) that are provided digitally, so that people can print/download them for their own use
  • Includes videos and stories of the experiences of others living with hip pain, and exercise programs so people have a reference for proper form
  • Designed for people over 45 years of age experiencing persistent hip pain or osteoarthritis
  • Available free-of-charge to all users (e.g. people with hip pain, physiotherapists, physiotherapy students, educators, researchers)

My Hip Exercise was designed and developed by physiotherapists (led by Dr Rachel Nelligan, Professor Kim Bennell, Professor Rana Hinman) at the University of Melbourne and tested in a clinical research trial. It was funded by an Australian National Health and Medical Research Council grant.
