Slide 1 – Supine Traction Reset
Unlock the hips before you load them.
Partner applies gentle long-axis traction through both legs to decompress the hips + low back.
Why it matters:
Better joint space = better force transfer.
Sprint, cut, jump with less restriction.
Hold 20–30 sec
Relax. Breathe. Let the nervous system downshift.
⸻
Slide 2 – Assisted Hip Abduction (Groin Opener)
Open the inside line.
Partner guides leg out into abduction while pelvis stays neutral.
Why it matters:
Adductor length = lateral speed + cutting power.
Tight groin = slow change of direction.
Hold 20–30 sec
Don’t rotate the hips. Keep it controlled.
⸻
Slide 3 – Hamstring Raise (Straight Leg)
Build length without losing tension.
Partner lifts straight leg into flexion while knee stays locked.
Why it matters:
Explosive stride comes from hamstring elasticity — not just strength.
Hold 20–30 sec
Foot dorsiflexed. No bending the knee to cheat range.
⸻
Slide 5– Deep Hip Flexion Compression
Train usable range.
Partner guides knee toward chest under control.
Why it matters:
Hip flexion mobility supports deep squats, acceleration angles, and shock absorption.
Hold 15–20 sec
Breathe into the stretch. No guarding.
⸻
Slide 6 – Assisted External Rotation (Seated Position)
Own your rotation.
Partner stabilizes thigh while moving lower leg into external rotation.
Why it matters:
Hip rotation protects knees during cutting and landing.
Smooth reps x 8–10
Control > crank.
⸻
Slide 7 – Hip External Rotation (Figure 4)
Free up rotation = free up power.
Partner brings ankle across opposite thigh and guides knee into external rotation.
Why it matters:
Rotation drives sprint mechanics, rotational athletes, and deceleration control.
Hold 20–30 sec
Keep pelvis down. Stretch the hip, not the low back.
⸻
Slide 8 – QL Traction Reset (Finish)
Restore length. Reset tension.
Finish with QL stretch across to integrate new range. Partner crossed the ankles and gently guides to the side of bottom foot to get a slight stretch in the back.
Why it matters:
Mobility is only useful if you can access it under load.
20–30 sec
Then go lift. Go sprint. Go perform.
