These two areas can commonly become tight due to the way the body is connected and how you move. The hips and spine are directly connected ☝🏽
If your hips are stiff, your back might be doing more of the work and become stiff too. It can also happen vice versa- especially with degenerative disc disease 🦵🏽
These 3️⃣ movements can help to loosen up your lower and back your hips 👏🏼👏🏼
Completing 10-20 repetitions (each side when appropriate) can be a great place to start! ✅
It’s important to make sure these exercises feel good. If they don’t, modify the exercise by reducing the range of motion, decreasing the repetitions or choosing just one of the movements ⚠️
