Hey Mobility Mafia,

Today we are going back to our regular flexion/external rotation mob up on the box. The difference is that today you are going to figure out how to get the band to hold your hip in place. In this mobilization, the band really helps guide the hip into the right position in the joint, and anytime we can mobilize in and ideal position–we should do it.

Get 3 min each side monkeying around.

Coach Roop is demonstrating his work around for internal rotation in flexion. Remember you’ve got to have full range in a joint in order to call that joint normal. About 40 degrees of Hip Ir is normal. Are you?

Finally: I’ve seen too many people in the clinic lately that have dreadful trunk control.

Hollow Hold: Butt squeezed, toes pointed away from your face, arms over head if you can do it, thighs smashed together:
10 sec on 10 sec off x 15 rounds.

Band assist squat opener on the box…flexion: check. external rotation: check. But where's the hip abduction? The mid-line/pigeon stretch position relates more to a hindu squat than a regular squat. No?

This blog is intended as a jump off point for athletes to systematically begin to address their nasty tissues and grody joint mobility. Use at your own risk and stop if you think it's gonna hurt you, your spine is going to come out your throat, or your face goes numb. But, understand that you should be responsible for your own business. Don't wait until you need a new knee. Pony up.
