Tight Hips From Traveling?
Travel aches and pains?
Long hours in a car or on a plane can leave your hips feeling stiff and uncomfortable.
Tight hips aren’t just uncomfortable though—they can trigger back, hip, and even knee pain, disrupting your whole body's alignment.
Yikes!
JUST ONE THING
Your JUST ONE THING to Relieve Tight Hips From Traveling:
Stretch your groin and adductor muscles.
If you’ve been doing basic hip flexor stretches to ease tight hips, that’s a great start.
But it might not be enough.
Have you tried Hip Adductor Rockers?
If not, it’s time to add them to your routine ASAP!
Your groin muscles and adductors are closely connected to your big hip flexor muscles.
They ALL work together to support healthy movement.
If you’re ONLY focusing on your hip flexors and neglecting your adductors, you might be missing the key to real relief.
Adductor Rockers
- Extend one leg out to the side and tilt your tailbone up to the season, creating a slight arch at your low back.
- Gently press your hips straight back.
- Do 6-10 dynamic rock backs, either kneeling or standing.
Extra Tip:
Try both foot positions - flat and flexed up - which will target slightly different areas of your adductors.
Did You Know...
- You can do this stretch standing up if you can’t get on the floor. (Watch to the end of the video for the demo!)
- Tight adductors can also lead to knee pain, so this stretch may help your knees, too!
- I highly recommend adding this stretch into your workout warm-up, especially if you have chronically tight hip flexors and inner thighs.
Until next week... Be strong
