Exercise of the Week:
Hip Hinge Progressions
1. Kneeling Rear Foot Elevated Hip Hinge
2. Standing Hip Hinge w/ Reach
3. Kettlebell Deadlift
4. Dynamic Single-Leg Hinge
Often times, back pain while bending forward comes from “folding” at the spine instead of “hinging” at the hips. These progressions train lumbopelvic dissociation to help your body use the right muscles instead of overloading the low back. Whether you’re lifting a toddler, working in the yard, or bending over the hood of a car — mastering this movement pattern can be the difference between going about your day without limitations and a potential overuse injury.
