3 Mobility Exercises to Get Rid of Hip Stiffness: The Mobility Band Edition

7/13/2017

 

What is Joint Mobility? 

Being flexible includes a combination of both good muscle length and joint mobility. In other words, the muscles must be able to stretch and the joints need to be able to absorb forces and move throughout various planes of motion. When someone loses motion in their joints, either stiffness and/or pain is the result. A common example occurs when someone loses mobility in their hips. As a result, the body compensates by moving excessively somewhere else. Typically the low back is the culprit, which explains why so many people have low back pain.
In this post, I am going to discuss hip joint mechanics and provide 3 valuable exercises to maximize mobility and minimize stiffness.

The Hip Joint

The hip joint is made of the head of the thigh bone (femur) and the round surface of the pelvis (acetabulum). Since the hip is a ball and socket joint, it has large amounts of available range of motion. This range of motion is essential for walking, climbing stairs, and squatting with proper form. Ligaments, muscles, and a thick layer of cartilage surround the joint to maintain strength and stability. If the hip joint is injured OR a person gradually becomes inactive, the range of motion will be limited. 

Who Commonly Needs Hip Mobility?

1. People who sit for long periods of time
  • Reason: the hip is designed for motion. Prolonged sitting decreases the opportunity for movement
2. Older Men
  • Clinically, I find that males more commonly have tightness and stiffness in their hip joints
3. Runners
  • Due to the repetitive nature of running, the hips and ankles are prone to stiffness. Maintaining joint mobility is key for injury prevention. 

Hip Flexor and Quad Opener
  • Tuck the pelvis before leaning into the stretch
  • The band provides extra resistance against the front of the hip joint 
Banded Leg Raises
  • Create tension in the band before raising the leg
  • The band should be centered at the hip joint, providing an outer directed pull during the leg raise
Banded Heel Rocks
  • ​Start in a neutral spine position
  • Rock hips toward heels while maintaining the neutral spine
  • While pressing forward, feel tension increase in the band

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]
