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!
