✈️ HIP AIRPLANES: WHAT ARE WE REALLY TRAINING? ✈️

Hip airplanes are a game-changing movement for:
✔️ Single leg stability
✔️ Rotational hip control
✔️ Glute activation
✔️ Balance and proprioception

Here’s a breakdown of 3 progressive variations:

1️⃣ Hip Airplane + Upper Extremity Assist

✅ Focus on hip mobility & glute engagement
✅ No need to worry about balance yet
✅ Perfect for early rehab & motor control

2️⃣ Hip Airplane + Foam Roller Cue

✅ Adds knee stability & balance challenge
✅ Tactile feedback prevents valgus collapse
✅ Improves rotational control

3️⃣ Traditional Hip Airplane (No Support)

✅ Tests full-body control & stability
✅ Builds resilience through range of motion
✅ Ideal for advanced rehab or athletic performance

👉 Each variation has its place.
👉 Every version has a purpose.
👉 Meet the patient where they are.
👉 Progress mindfully.

Build rotational control. Build stability. Build strength.

Incorporating five-minute health-boosting habits into your daily routine can have a profound impact on both physical and mental well-being. These small, manageable activities are often easy to fit into even the busiest schedules, yet they provide significant long-term benefits.

Dedicating just a few minutes throughout the day can improve circulation, enhance joint mobility, prevent stiffness, reduce stress levels, improve mental clarity, and help break up unhealthy patterns. When done consistently, these quick interventions compound over time, leading to improved overall health, better focus, and more sustained energy levels. Even though they seem small, these self-care moments add to significant, lasting changes.
