My hips hurt from diving in volleyball?

Question

Is there seomething i can do to help my hip pain

thanks

Answer 1

don't land on your hips - god gave you a butt for a reason

Answer 2

To help the hip pain, ice for 10 minutes, then heat for 10 minutes. Try staying in bed, if the pain gets really bad.  You can also use the icyhot patches. I love those.

I sometimes hurt my hips to, but that means that I am falling wrong. When you go for a dive, stick your stomach out, and dive on your chest. It kind of looks like a penguin, when they are sliding on the ice.

Answer 3

its gonna hurt! try using ice after games/practices

you just gotta realize that you're taking one for the team!

Answer 4

your diving wrong....................

Answer 5

okay ice it or just cool it down after a game...... if it still bothers go to ur doctor or physical therapy....

Answer 6

just stuff underwear over your hips and it will be like hip pads but you wont have to spend extra money. good luck buddy!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Don't forget to do a lot of warm-ups before a game or before practice. Just keep on practicing your dive. Maybe your landing is wrong.

Answer 8

i had the same problem a year ago, when a ball was hit diagnolly in front of me i would dive and hit a bit of my hip on the ground and get bruises. you want to get as low to the ground as you can (bend your knees) and push off your feet and slide on your jersey. getting knee  pads could also help you if your diving on your hips because you dont want to hit your knees by accident

Answer 9

This could mean you are diving wrong. you might not be getting low enough before you dive.

OR

You might need to toughen up. Volleyball can be very painful.

Answer 10

it menas you're diving wrong, try landing on your chest.

it's going to just take practice, i used to kill my hips while diving, but after i practiced so many suicides, i got the hang of it.

try observing how your teamates dive, thats how i learned how to dive better.

Answer 11

if you hit your hip you are not diving right. you shouldnt even hit your knee when you dive turn your knee in and land on your butt! take advil of something if it really hurts
