Hip Mobility & Strength
Your hips are the foundation of almost every movement you make—walking, sitting, standing, bending. When your hips lack mobility and strength, your entire body compensates, often leading to lower back pain, knee issues, and poor posture.
**Why hip mobility matters:**
Strong, mobile hips allow your body to move the way it's designed to. They support your spine, stabilize your pelvis, and reduce stress on surrounding joints. When hips are tight or weak, other areas pick up the slack—and that's when problems start.
**The good news?**
Hip mobility and strength can be improved at any age with consistent stretching and targeted exercises. Even 10-15 minutes a few times a week can make a noticeable difference in how you feel day-to-day.
If you're in Maricopa and looking to work on your hip health, there are yoga classes at Jane Askew Park with that can help you focus on hip mobility and stretches to help you move better and feel better.
Take care of your hips—your whole body will thank you! 💪
