My Top 5 exercises for Hip stability

If your back keeps bothering you…
your hips might be the missing piece.

Start here 👇

– glute strength
– single-leg control
– lateral stability
– full-range strength

👉 It’s not just about doing exercises.

It’s about building control and stability that actually carries over.

That’s what protects your back long term.

Which one do you feel the most? 👀 Comment below!

If your back keeps bothering you… this might be why 👇

A lot of the time, it’s not actually your back causing the problem—it’s what’s happening around it.

Here’s what you’re seeing in this video:

– Hinge / RDL:
Instead of loading the hips, the movement comes from the low back. Over time, that adds stress where you don’t want it.

– Squat / knee collapse:
When the knees cave in, it’s usually a sign the hips aren’t controlling the movement well.

– Single-leg balance:
If you can’t control one side at a time, your body looks for stability somewhere else… often the back.

– Glute bridge:
If you arch your back- you will feel this more in your back than your glutes, and the wrong muscles are doing the work.

👉 When the hips don’t do their job, the back takes over.

And that’s when things start to feel “tight,” “sore,” or just off.

The issue is not always where it hurts.

Does this feel familiar?

A lot of “back pain” isn’t actually a back problem.

It’s a hip problem.

If your hips aren’t doing their job…
your back will pick up the slack.

👉 That’s where problems start.

If you still have shoulder pain—even though you’re doing all the “right” exercises…

It might not be the exercise.

It might be how you’re doing it.

I see this all the time:
– upper traps taking over
– lack of control
– poor positioning
– rushing through reps

👉 Same exercise. Completely different result.

If your body doesn’t feel stable, it won’t move well.

That’s where we start.

If your shoulder feels off during throwing, lifting, dancing, or overhead work…

It’s not always a mobility problem.
A lot of times, it’s a control problem.

Start here:
– build stability
– improve control
– move better

👉 That’s what keeps shoulders healthy long term.

Here’s one of the most common things I see with shoulder pain in athletes 👇

Lack of control.

Not just strength.
Not just flexibility.

Control.

If you can’t control positions like:
– the bottom of a push-up
– pulling movements like rows

Your shoulder ends up doing more than it should.

Over time:
– stress builds
– compensation takes over
– pain shows up

This affects:
⚾️ throwing
💃 overhead movements
🏋️ lifting

👉 Your body won’t trust positions you can’t control.

That’s where we start.

👉 If you’re really brave… drop your push-up hold below 👀

FUN FACT FRIDAY 💡

Ever feel like you’re always tight…
no matter how much you stretch?

👉 You might not actually be lacking flexibility.

Sometimes that “tight” feeling is your body’s way of creating stability in a range it doesn’t trust.

When a joint doesn’t feel controlled or supported,
your muscles stay “on” to protect it.

That constant tension?
It feels like tightness.

But stretching alone doesn’t fix the reason it’s happening.

✔️ What actually helps:
• building strength around the joint
• improving control in key positions
• slowing movements down (tempo work)
• using isometrics to teach your body awareness

When your body feels more stable,
it doesn’t need to create as much tension.

And that “tight” feeling?
Often starts to go away.

👉 This is especially common in:
• dancers
• hypermobile athletes
• overhead athletes (hello shoulders 👀)
• anyone who stretches constantly but never gets lasting relief

If this sounds like you, it might be time to stop chasing flexibility…
and start building control.

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY

Having mobility is great.

But if you don’t have control in that range, your body is vulnerable.

This is where a lot of injuries happen:
end range + no control.

Strength and stability are what make mobility usable.

Not just accessible.

Move Well. Live Well. Be WellFormed.

Friday we’ll break down why your body limits ranges it doesn’t trust.

POSTURE MONDAY

Mobility isn’t just about how far you can move.

It’s about how well you can control that range.

If your body doesn’t feel stable in a position, it won’t let you go there for long.

That’s why stretching alone often doesn’t “fix” tightness.

Real mobility comes from strength and control at end ranges.

Move Well. Live Well. Be WellFormed.

On Wednesday we’ll talk about what happens when you have range… but can’t control it.
