Your hips may not lie, but they could be keeping secrets from you. Don’t worry, we know how to get to the hippy truth.
Runners, office workers, hikers, swimmers and cyclists, we’re talking to you!Having tight hips might not be immediately obvious to you but they can lead to other mysterious aches and pains in your back, legs and abdomen. The solution – stretch them out and loosen up those hips.
Here’s a quick test to see if your hips are secretly tight. Try sitting cross legged right now. Oh, yeah – those hips are tight!
In this video, physiotherapist, Jean Lewis shows us how to get at the root of the problem with a simple and relaxing stretch that you can do in your own living room (even while watching TV). And, she’ll show you the mistake that most people make when trying to loosen up their tight hips.
With nice open hips, your back, abdomen and legs will thank you – and so will your dance partner.
Special thanks to Jean, our model Melina and the folks at Gastown Physio & Pilates in Vancouver, BC!
