Simple exercises may soothe stubborn hip pain

This study tested whether eccentric exercises (lengthening a muscle while it's under tension) can reduce pain, improve hip movement, and boost quality of life in people with iliopsoas tendonitis—a condition causing groin and hip pain. 44 adults aged 20 to 55 took part. One group received standard physical therapy, while the other added eccentric exercises. Researchers measured pain, range of motion, and daily function to see which approach worked better.
