The Most Notoriously “TIGHT” Region of The Body⬇️ ➡️https://youtu.be/N0cv93o5pGM Have you ever asked the average person who has been battling chronic lower back pain or a painful hip pinch what they think the problem is? As a physical therapist , Pilates and yoga wellness coach, I ask these questions, And usually, the answer goes something like this… “My hips are just so TIGHT and STIFF ! I think I need to do more stretching!” But why don't you try a mobility drill instead? Ah yes, it comes to no big surprise that hip flexor , glutes , piriformis, and hamstring tightness get blamed for almost every little ache and pain presenting at the lower back, hips, knees, and even ankles. But is there actually any truth to hip mobility being the root of all evil for orthopedic pain and dysfunction? When your hips are “tight”, whatever that terms currently means to you, your body must move in a certain way to compensate in order gain this mobility from elsewhere on the body. Poor hip mobility has been widely recognized in the literature as a risk factor for pain, injuries and other pathologies in the lower back along with the lower body in general. So definitely , the hip mobility is clearly important for overall wellness, health and fitness whether you are a professional athlete, bodybuilder, or just a weekend warrior wanting to perform without getting hurt. But lets not forget, true hip mobility can be improved in MANY other ways than just the most common self-help practice, static passive stretching. This hip is an inherently mobile ball and socket based joint that moves in all 3 cardinal planes of motion. So it is imperative that we appreciate and understand these unique movement planes in order to maximize authentic mobility and movement at the hip joint. When more intelligently addressed, improvements in hip mobility will not only be gained, but maintained for the long run. Here are the my 7 most effective hip mobility drills that will quickly open up your hip groin, outer hips and low back, help you battle with this flow . #hipmobilitydrill #tighthips #hipgroin #lowbackpain #spinehealth #corestrength #flexibility https://www.instagram.com/p/CUv9P3Brxc6/?utm_medium=tumblr
