Thrive Physio

Whether you’re a runner trying to lengthen your stride, a golfer looking for better rotation, or someone who just feels stuck after a long day at the desk, your hips are usually the first to tighten up.

We’re walking you through a quick sequence designed to increase your active range of motion, get your joints moving fluidly again, and offload pressure from your lower back and knees so you can move without compensation.

Consistency is key here! Add these into your daily routine and feel the difference in how you move and recover. Looking for a personalized movement plan? Visit our website www.thrivingpt.com and let’s get started!

Ever feel a pop or a click in your hip during bicycle crunches? That’s a sign your hip flexors are taking over because your core isn’t fully engaged.

When your hips do the heavy lifting, you’re not just missing out on the core work, you’re setting yourself up for unnecessary strain and tightness.

But we have a simple cue to help you shift the tension back where it belongs! By focusing on this small adjustment, you’ll ensure your core is actually doing the work, keeping your hips quiet and your spine supported.

Save this to try during your next workout and let us know how it goes!

If you’re muscling your swing, you’re likely putting a massive amount of unnecessary stress on your spine.

We love prescribing dissociation exercises because they help you learn to move your hips independently from your upper back. This creates the recoil needed in your swing, so you can generate speed without your lower back taking the brunt of the rotation.

Better separation means a longer drive and a body that actually feels good after 18 holes. Save this for your next workout!
