HIPS DON'T LIE

Desk-bound during the day? Try this routine to get some mobility into tight hips

- 

This routine from mobility and recovery app pliability targets an often-overlooked area - the hips!

The hips play a key role in how we move day to day, and when they are tight or restricted, it can affect everything from posture to performance, often leading to discomfort in the lower back, knees or surrounding areas. This mobility routine is designed to reduce stiffness, improve range of motion, and help your hips move more freely and comfortably.

Each pose targets a different part of the hip area, including the inner thighs, glutes, hip flexors, and hamstrings. These movements work together to release tension and improve joint mobility.

This mobility routine is suitable for counteracting long hours at a desk or recovering from intense training.
