Back Pain - Understanding The Role Of The Hip

Back Pain - Understanding The Role Of The Hip

Movement should not take place through the spine but from the hip joints. The hip is a powerful, and very stable joint, which we must use to our advantage when performing any activity, whether that be walking to the shops, or training in the gym. If utilised effectively it should provide us with a very stable platform for movement.

Often there is a lack of awareness about the importance of the hip and how the lives we lead are limiting movement at this joint. We advise to open up the hips, and emphasise extension, when walking so you start to stretch out the muscles at the front of the joint and engage the muscles at the back. Sometimes people will need some help with other exercises that help to ‘switch on’ the posterior muscles such as the gluts so we discuss some exercises people can perform in order to engage these muscles more effectively.

Strengthening the gluteal muscles, and opening up the hip, is an important foundation to building resilience in the back.
