If the outside of your hip always feels stiff, tight, or blocked, forcing a bigger stretch usually is not the answer.
Sometimes you need a better position first.
This kickstand hip mobility drill helps move the hip away from midline, open up the pelvis, and create space through the outside of the hip and even the ribcage.
It’s simple, but when done well, it can feel much more targeted than just stretching harder.
If hip mobility feels limited and you’re not sure what your body actually needs, Optimize Physical Therapy & Performance can help in Las Vegas and Bloomfield Township, MI.
