Gentle Exercises for Hip Dislocation & Fitness – Consult Your Doctor

Question
hello,
I can not do exercises such as running and jogging and i cant do a lot of walking either because i have a displaced hip bone. i am getting very unfit and i am worried about it. do you know any kind of exercise that will not be bad for my leg?
and will help me stay fit. the other thing i am worried about is my stomach. it is growing out of shape. i need some tips.

Answer
Dear Ary, This is a question for your Orthopedic doctor, the doctor who takes care of your displaced hip. Your doctor will decide what exercises you can do, then hopefully order a consult with a physical therapist. If you are doing this on your own, then general walking daily along with crunches and light weightlifting geared to the upper body is what I suggest. You still might need a trainer to help you with the correct way to do these exercises without hurting your hip. Hope that helps, Laura Kraemer,Slimkids.com
