Mobility Series: It's All In the Hips

To run strong and pain free, we have to be able to move well. Though our goal is to run straight forward, running challenges us to be able to control our bodies not just from front to back but side to side and through twisting motions as well. We need all these motions to work together or we start to see break down in other areas leading to discomfort while running or injury. 

Today we’re talking hips. Our hips don’t just drive us forward but also act as the steering wheel for the path of our leg while we run. To run efficiently and access the full power of our glutes we need a steering wheel that turns well. 

If your hips or low back have felt a little tight or you know you spend a lot of your day stuck at a desk

Keep getting out there and Run Yourself Resilient!
