If you’re an active runner, skier, a triathlete, a couch potato or a desk jockey. You have one common body restriction. Tight hips! Our sedentary lifestyles and the faulty movement patterns that we have in our bodies due to external stress that we put on ourselves can contribute to tension and restriction in our hips. This can sometimes lead to lower back pain or knee pain and has a tendency to work either up or down the kinetic chain of the body. Our bodies also hold on to emotions creating tension and the hips are often the centre of many stuck suppressed emotions. By releasing muscular tension, old stuck emotions can be shifted, leaving us feeling lighter and freer.
