Do THIS for INSANE Hip Mobility!

Recent questions

• How can I improve external hip rotation?

  By focusing on flexibility in the outer hip muscles, particularly the piriformis, which is often a limiting factor. Instead of pigeon pose, bring the knee alongside the body at a 90-degree angle to ground the hip fully, avoiding knee strain. This position allows for a deeper stretch in the outer hip muscles, enhancing mobility.

• What muscles should I target for hip flexibility?

  Target the outer hip muscles, especially the piriformis, to improve hip flexibility. These muscles play a crucial role in external rotation and can be a limiting factor in mobility. By focusing on stretching and strengthening these muscles, you can enhance your hip flexibility and range of motion.

• Is pigeon pose effective for hip flexibility?

  Pigeon pose may not be the most effective for hip flexibility, especially in cases of tight hips. Instead, try bringing the knee alongside the body at a 90-degree angle to fully ground the hip without straining the knee. This position allows for a deeper stretch in the outer hip muscles, which can improve flexibility more effectively.

• How can I prevent knee strain while stretching hips?

  To prevent knee strain while stretching the hips, avoid positions that put excessive pressure on the knee joint. Instead, focus on bringing the knee alongside the body at a 90-degree angle to fully ground the hip without causing strain. This position allows for a deeper stretch in the outer hip muscles while protecting the knee joint from unnecessary stress.

• What is a common limiting factor in hip mobility?

  The piriformis muscle is a common limiting factor in hip mobility, particularly in external rotation. By focusing on flexibility in the outer hip muscles, including the piriformis, you can address this limitation and improve overall hip mobility. Stretching and strengthening these muscles can help enhance your range of motion and prevent restrictions in hip movement.
