I would show a preference for a strength and conditioning program over a stretching program all the research out there is showing better outcomes for hip pain with strength-based work. I would look at your ability to side plank as this can give a good insight as well, if you struggle to hold 30 seconds this would be a big area I would look into for your hip and will see results sooner than later.

awesome glad its helping! look im honestly not to sure of anyone there. I do virtual ones which are good, but in-person ones I do prefer. the other option is if you go on TPI website and go find an expert you can find ones near you https://www.mytpi.com/experts

no worries mate, more than happy to help. These things do take a little bit of time to work through slowly. I would recommend getting a professional to do a full screen to draw out any other issues. one thing I have found that's helped a few of my clients with arthritis in the hand is getting fatter grips on the clubs. can be a bit more comfortable.

perfect these can blend into a program really well!

@Josh Parker to be honest it might not come down to just stretching, a lot of the research is wearing away from stretching and more to strength work through full ranges of movement or focusing more on eccentric phases (muscle lengthening phase) of exercises. I wouldn't recommend specific exercises but more a global movement based program focusing on full ranges of movement. I.e deep squats, dead lifts, kettle bell exercises. these can all be great additions.

@cksurfdude hey mate, It depends on whether the initial injury is a muscle strain or if you have done something else. muscle strains will typically be more one-sided. in terms of back pain, there are a few things for hip and bake related issues give this a go https://www.mytpi.com/articles/screening/the-pelvic-tilt-test?search=Level One Screen. will tell you a lot about your muscle control but may only be a small part of the bigger puzzle some basic exercises I would look at implementing into a daily routine for everyone even without back pain, cat cow stretch, lumber leg rocking and glute bridges
