Tight Hips?

Hi! I’m glad you’re here!

Healthy, relaxed muscles need more than just stretching. Here are 3 things you can do right now to check in with your hips.

Try 5-15 reps once a day a few times a week, and see if that changes your hips.

Remember - we’re not moving into pain. If your knees don’t like this, try a few things:

  • Shift your weight more into your heels and try to connect with your butt doing most of the work.

  • Make the movement smaller. Safe, pain free range of motion is where we want to start. This is not a “no pain, no gain” space.

  • If these suggestions don’t work for you, don’t do them. All bodies are different. If you have questions, reach out! I’ll try and help!


Mobility: bounce first. Heels up and down keeping your toes on the ground. Just for a minute or so.

Strength: 5-15 squats.

  • No pain.

  • Knees moving over toes.

  • Bum goes back

 

Stretch: Dynamic Side Lunge

Let’s keep in simple. Legs can be closer - it’s not about the size of your range of motion. It’s all about what you’re feeling and where you’re feeling it.

Just gentle.

Size doesn’t matter here. ;)

Try it out and let me know what you think!
