What am I on about?? Hips are a really important part of the body (what isn’t I guess) and are involved in force production, shock or force absorption as well as transfer of force across the body. To do this they need to be mobile as well as strong as well as coordinate movement with the lower limbs and pelvis and trunk. If they can’t bend and straighten at the right time (simply speaking) then all those important skills are lost and something else invariably has to make up for it. Like your back or your knees, usually making them grumble. So if you have knee pain or back pain it may be your hips that need a little attention. And here’s how you can do it.

Have a look at the video see if you can coordinate the bending and straightening action of your hips smoothly then you can get up, get down, get boogie-ing and all sorts very merrily!

If you’d like some help to find your hips either with 1:1 physiotherapy or any of our group rehabilitation classes please call us on 656340 or email an enquiry here.
