    Un-Glue Your Hips! Exercise Tweaks For Anterior Chain Muscle Stiffness

    I quickly want to share another great video from Kelly Starrett (@MobilityWOD) showing a couple of exercises I use on a regular basis with our athletes to work on hip mobility.

    As described here, compromised ability to extend (and internally rotate) the hip effectively is a negative physical trait I observe in so many of the injured athletes I assess.

    As part of a multi-faceted rehabilitation approach, exercises to work on functional hip mobility are an important piece of the puzzle in helping athletes overcome various different overuse injuries.
