Exercise! Walking, elliptical and yoga works for me. Always gentle though! I always hate it but focusing on how much better i feel afterwards propells me. I have an elliptical and have found yoga/pt moves that work my core. (Clam shells, modified bicycle kicks, gluteal bridges) and stretches like childs pose, downward dog and modified pigeons pose (i lay on my back and get one leg to cross like a figure 4) never stretching to pain but to ease stiffness.

Liz 9, how can you tell the source of the hip pain?

Stretch.... Stretch.... And more stretch!!! No really though is it your hip or bursa? If it is bursa then you can get injection of steroids and this will help from bursitis..

And i forgot.. stretching your hip flexors too.
