Your back pain isn't your back's fault—it's your locked hips. Try this controlled hip rotation: Sit tall with legs extended, then bend your knees and slowly drop both to one side. Focus on rotating from the hip joint, not your lower back, to mobilize your hip capsule and glutes. 🧘‍♀️ Send this to someone who needs to unlock their hips NOW. . . . #flexibility #hipmobility #hipopener #tighthips #backpainrelief #mobilitytraining #seatedstretch

Why does your side bend feel more like a back strain? To lengthen the quadratus lumborum and obliques, anchor your sit bones. Initiate lateral flexion by extending the overhead arm, creating space between your ribs and pelvis. Avoid collapsing the torso to isolate the stretch and protect the lower back. Send this to someone who needs to refine their stretching technique. 🧘 . #flexibility #mobility #sidebend #seatedstretch #qltension #obliquestretch #physiotherapy #stretchingtips
