A member asked:

Is riding a recumbent exercise bike good for hip bursitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I don't advocate that type of exercise if you have active painful hip bursitis. Get it treated by your physician or orthopedic specialist before performing that repetitive activity of your hip joints.
