Squatting causing hip pain? 🏋️♂️💥
If you’re training for Hyrox and your hips are flaring up every time you hit the bottom of a squat, listen up: Pushing through the pain is killing your PB. Pain is a signal, not a challenge to overcome. Most Hyrox athletes we see struggle with movement restrictions - especially limited internal hip rotation. The common fix? I just need more mobility.
But more mobility isn’t always the answer. The right exercises, done properly, are what actually move the needle.
We’ve broken it down in our Hyrox Hip Protocol:
1️⃣ Reduce Pain & Improve Movement - Settle symptoms and restore clean, pain-free squat patterns.
2️⃣ Improve End-Range Hip Mobility - Build control and strength in the positions your hips currently struggle with.
3️⃣ Build Strength & Control - Target the hips, glutes, and surrounding structures to handle the load properly.
4️⃣ Return to Performance - Reintroduce intensity so you can train hard without setbacks.
Stop guessing. Start progressing. This is how we help athletes move from frustration to peak performance at Functional Movement Physio.
