Is this simple movement exposing your hip instability? This is a side-lying hip abduction, a key exercise for isolating the gluteus medius. Maintain a neutral spine and lift the superior leg without pelvic rotation to properly engage the hip abductors and enhance pelvic stability. 🧘♀️

A runner came in with a nagging ache deep in her hip flexors after every run. We focused on gentle fascial release across her lower abdomen and upper thigh, targeting the iliopsoas connection to the femur. This unwinds deep tension held in the pelvis. She felt an immediate sense of space and relief. ✨ Send this to a friend who needs to finally release their tight hips.

The final extension is supported by gluteal activation and open clavicles, protecting the lumbar region from compression.

Did you know a stiff thoracic spine can lead to shoulder impingement? 🤔 This assisted thoracic extension mobilizes the vertebrae between the shoulder blades. The practitioner provides support at the arms, allowing for a deeper lift of the sternum and a controlled arch to release upper back tension. Save this for your next session.
