Lateral Hip Shifts are a common cause of Hip, or Back-Pain.

Correct them with these 4 Mobility Exercises.

First start with the Hip Stability Test below! ⬇️Image
Hip Activation Test: Pass ☑️

- Film yourself or let someone spot
- Stand facing the wall
- Hands touch the wall
- Ellbows are at a 90° angle
- Now lift one knee
- Lift till you are almost at hips height

If the hips stay at the same level OR the activated side stays below --> Good your hips activate accordingly
Hip Activation Test: Fail ❌

- Film yourself or let someone spot
- Stand facing the wall
- Hands touch the wall
- Ellbows are at a 90° angle
- Now lift one knee
- Lift till you are almost at hips height

If the hip hikes higher than on the inactive side the activation could be better.

The Piriformis can be a real Pain in the Butt.

Get rid of Scitiac Pain with these 7 Mobility Exercises.

Incl. Myo Fascial Relase Applications.Image
Image
General Information

The main function of the piriformis muscle is to rotate the hip outward when the leg is straight or in a neutral stance.

When the hip is bent, such as when pulling the knee up towards the chest, the muscle helps in moving the leg to the side and keeps the hip joint steady.

If it gets tight you feel pain in the deeper area of your buttocks. Which can also lead to sciatic pain and other symptoms.

Doing a good session of Myo Fascial Release (MFR) will help you lower the tension on the muscle and around it.

Week 1. 8x3s

Week 2. 9x3s
