Скачать или смотреть Pinching in the Hip

Pinching in the hip.

Often felt when the knee is brought up toward the chest and across the body.

A clear sign that the back of the pelvis won’t open up.

Tightness in the back shoving the femur forward in the socket.

Stealing the femurs ability to flex and internally rotate.

One of the most accepted ways to open up the back of the pelvis is to flex and internally rotate the hip. This creates length in the backside.

But this strategy won’t work in someone who is is pinching and in pain when they do that exact movement!

So how do you get the back of the hip to open up if you can’t pull it up and in?

Access the Pelvis!

Understanding how the pelvis moves in relation to how the hip moves is absolutely essential in clearing the way for improved hip mobility.

By elevating the OPPOSITE pelvis with towels, we create PELVIC internal rotation (not hip) on the affected side.

We then open the hip into ER which makes re-estabilishing IR more possible!

Now… what muscles are in the back of the pelvis that need to be lengthened in order for this to happen?

You guessed it! THE PELVIC FLOOR! Little bugger!

If you are a practicing PT or other movement professional and are unfamiliar with how exactly the pelvic floor influences hip pathology… I highly encourage you to take a Pelvic Floor course.

@drsarahduvall is launching another round of her incredible Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist Course this Monday!

I know personally, I didn’t learn this stuff in PT school and taking her course changed everything for me.

So much so that now I offer a completely FREE study group to anyone who signs up for Sarahs course using my link. So if you are thinking of taking her course, send me a DM as soon as you can so I can get you that link this weekend before the launch! 🙌
