Hey Performance Freaks,
Today’s Mwod is a short discussion about the dreaded Hip Impingement syndrome.
Whether you’ve been diagnosed or not, these mobs will keep those hip “supple”.
And supple= power.

This is great stuff Kelly. I really struggle with my squat, and a lot of what you are talking about here applies to me. I break to early, have multiple hip joints, etc. Gonna take this stuff to the gym tonight and work on it first thing. Keep rockin' it.
I have been noticing some of my female clients that have one hip that drops further then the other when they do front/back squats. I don't know if this is due to crossing their legs alot which inturn prevents flexibility in the other hip. I will certainly try this stretch with them! Thanks!
Karen,
I think Kelly talks about asymmetrical tightness in the hip/sacrum area in this post:

This may or may not help. I would assume that sitting "Indian style" shouldn't present mobility problems - if anything it's a "good" position. If you are concerned about those motions though, I would look at doing the "W sit" or "reverse ballerina" for hip IR and the weighted FABER for the other direction.
Thanks Ben! Although the crossing legs I'm referring to is females in heels while sitting in a chair favoring one leg crossing over the other. Make sense? I just thought this constant, repetitive motion would have affect on the mobility of the other hip. Let me know your thoughts.
Kelly, can you expand on the multiple hip joint concept you mentioned occurs with excessive low back extension while performing squatting motions. Or can you direct me to somewhere to learn more about this idea.
I just had surgery for a torn acetabular labrum, and guess how I tore it? Doing the "push your femur through your ass" mobilization in too MUCH flexion. BE VERY CAREFUL DOING THIS MOB!!!
mr anoymous,
What symptoms did you feel prior to seeing your surgeon?

@ Anonymous,
What do you mean "too MUCH flexion"????
#7 and #8,
My symptoms included a constant dull ache in groin and anterior hip which worsened with sitting and driving. My hip flexors became very tight and weak. Also, and more painful, a sharp pain in passive flexion like the bottom of a squat. This surgery was an absolute bitch and recovery is a long process, like 6 months.
What I meant by "too much flexion" was to not perform this mob while the hip is flexed too far, probably not more than 90 degrees to your spine. Essentially, you don't want your knee too close to your chest.
