Hip Mobility Stretches

Below is your hip mobility stretching program.

During your DARI Motion Screen it was noted that hip mobility is an area of opportunity for you.  To improve this joints function, complete the following stretches to improve your overall motion health.  If you are experiencing any pain before or while completing your recommendations stop immediately.

​

Complete this program 2-3x a week for the next 3 months.

After completing 1 set rest for at least 1 minutes before starting the next set.  If pain is experienced stop the exercise.

Glute Stretch - Supine Figure Four Lateral Drop

  3. Pull the legs up toward the chest until a stretch is felt.

  4. Maintain that stretch sensation and drop the legs in the opposite direction from the top leg simultaneously flattening the shoulders against the ground.
