The article emphasizes the importance of hip mobility and strength as foundational for overall body movement. Tight or weak hips can lead to compensatory strain on other body parts, increasing injury risk. Sitting for long hours often exacerbates this issue by deactivating glute muscles and shortening hip flexors. Mobility exercises that involve full range movement, coupled with strength training for key hip muscles, can restore balance and enhance functionality. A proposed 15-minute routine is suggested to improve hip health and movement efficiency in daily activities.
Mobility without strength is like a bridge without support beams, Dr. Matisko said.
You can think of it like driving a car with the emergency brake on, said Ryan Matisko, a physical therapist in New York City.
