✨Hip Decompression ✨
The hip is an amazing joint. It craves complex movement in all planes. We must have sufficient mobility in the hips to perform movements we do Every. Single. Day. -sitting, standing, squatting, lunging and climbing stairs.
But what happens when there’s dysfunction?
❌If our mobility is lacking the hip, pelvis and trunk will impact and influence other joints that can potentially lead to injuries.
❌the most common injuries that occur are ACL tears, IT band syndrome and patellofemoral joint pain.
🌿What can we do?
🏋️Train in all planes of movement! Frontal, sagittial and transverse. Dynamic movement can help foster muscle balance and lead to better functioning in the joints.
😴Recover- never underestimate the power of good sleep and proper nutrition.
💆♀️ Stretch and soft tissue work can do wonders for muscles that have become overworked and tight, leading to compression, irritation and pain.
