You bet! Here's a PDF from McMaster University Institute for Research on Aging that shows Therapeutic Exercises for Osteoarthritis of the Hip - https://www.mcmasteroptimalaging.org/docs/default-source/oa-and-exercise/hip_exercises_for_oa_ua.pdf

It's really pretty easy and the PA told me you can do it laying down flat or on your side, or you can do it standing up if you have good balance. I don't have good balance but I hang on to a railing or chair while I do a few sets of 10. I try to remember to do them 2 or 3 times during the day.
