Although being evaluated and instructed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy will give you the best results in relieving this pain, there are a few exercises you can try in the mean time to improve your symptoms.

The goal of this technique is to use isometric muscle contractions to increase the muscle activation and therefore stability around these joints. These techniques are often times performed in the clinic with the help of a clinician but a self-correction version of this technique can also be performed at home. Equipment not required but helpful — one belt and one small ball or pillow.

Begin laying with knees bent in later stages of pregnancy, perform reclined or seated. Make a hip-width loop with the belt and place around your knees. Move the knees apart pushing out into the belt as hard as you can tolerate for 6 seconds. Relax then repeat this outward push 6 times.

Remove the belt and place the small ball or pillow between the knees. Move the knees inward squeezing the ball as hard as you can tolerate for 6 seconds.
