Why Your Hips Matter WAY More Than You Think (Especially If You Run)

Runners tell us this all the time:

“My back/knee started hurting out of nowhere… and I didn’t even change anything.”

Here’s the truth most people miss 👇
Your hips are the engine of your entire stride.
And when they don’t move well, everything below them has to compensate.

Why Your Hips Are SO Important for Running
They control your stride length and efficiency

They absorb and transfer force with every step

They stabilize your pelvis so your knees + low back don’t get overloaded

They determine whether you feel smooth… or like you’re fighting your own body

When the hips get stiff — especially the hip flexors — your body starts borrowing from your low back, knees, and shins.
That’s when the aches start creeping in.

Why a Dynamic Hip-Flexor Warmup Is a Game-Changer
A quick warmup that targets the hips will:
🔥 Wake up your hip flexors so your low back stops doing their job
🔥 Improve your knee drive + stride mechanics
🔥 Reduce the stress on your knees, shins, and feet
🔥 Help you feel smoother, lighter, and more efficient from step one

Running cold is like going 0–60 with no oil in the engine.
Warm up the hips → protect the joints → run better.

Let’s stop dreading Mondays!
Instead, think of them as a chance to kickstart your week the right way!

A little movement and the right mindset can completely shift your energy and focus for the days ahead.
Start small — a walk, a stretch, a few deep breaths — it all adds up.

Need help building the right routine?
👉 DM us “Monday” and we’ll help you get started!

Fall Reflections

There’s something about the fall season that always brings a moment of pause — a time to reflect, reset, and refocus.

This year especially, change has been front and center for me — in both my business and my family. Big shifts. New challenges. Fresh opportunities.

And while change can feel uncomfortable at times, I’ve come to realize that it’s often what sharpens us the most. Just like the leaves turning, these transitions are shaping something better — molding a brighter, stronger future.

Growth doesn’t always happen in the spotlight. Sometimes it happens quietly — in the moments of reflection, gratitude, and commitment to what’s next.

Here’s to embracing the season, learning from the change, and continuing to grow forward.

Our patients are often surprised when we tell them the real cause of their leg and foot pain isn’t the leg — it’s the lower back.

Here’s how you know that might be true for you:
1️⃣ It feels better when you walk.
2️⃣ It gets worse when you sit.
3️⃣ It flares up when you bend forward.

That’s because nerves that start in your lower back control everything down to your toes.
When those nerves are irritated, it shows up as pain, numbness, or tightness in the legs or feet.

The problem?
Most people chase the symptoms — massages, stretches, new shoes — instead of finding what’s actually causing it.

At Function 4 Life, we do things differently.
We find the root cause — not just the sore spot — so you can skip the endless cycle of imaging, medications, injections, and surgeries.

DM us the word BACK and we’ll show you how to fix the real problem, not just where it hurts.
