A quick routine to loosen up your back and hips
By getting the legs/hips moving in a variety of directions we not only wake up dormant neurology - this will help us down the road - we also stir the soup so to speak
One of the many roles of the muscle/fascia is to pump out waste (lymph) - 1-3 litres per day - restrictions, blockages, impaired muscle function/activation etc can disrupt the flow, leading to pooling and a build up of pressure
This can lead to tightness, stiffness and pain, but by activating the various big muscles in the legs/hips we help to activate the pump and get everything flowing again, releasing some pressure
This routine will also get you activating muscles in ways you might not normally, meaning there are more hands on deck to share the load, helping chronically overworked muscles to chill a bit
It’s simple, but do this a couple of times a day, pre workout etc and it will help to chill out your tight back
