Top 4 Hip Exercises to Increase Hip Strength & Help Alleviate Back Pain
John Wolf | December 26, 2015
One of the greatest detriments towards one’s strength goals is a lack of hip mobility. The number one cause of this lack of hip mobility is sitting. Sitting at work all day, sitting on the couch in front of the television, sitting at dinner, sitting in traffic on your work commute.
Most of your every day life is spent sitting. This causes lack of hip function and mobility, which in turn can contribute to lower back pain. This reality often results in a lack of desired strength gains, or a lack of realization of your current potential strength.
The most effective way to get your clients to perform hip mobility moves is to explain the effect a poor range of motion has on performance.
