Controlled Hip Mobility

Your hips are one of the most important joints in your body for movement, balance, and injury prevention. But if you’re not moving them through their full range of motion—or worse, if your low back is doing all the work—you’re setting yourself up for dysfunction and pain.

At Active Health Chiropractic, we focus on helping our patients move better. One simple but powerful way to do that is through controlled hip mobility exercises. These are slow, deliberate movements that train your hips to move freely without recruiting muscles from the lower back or pelvis. This means you’re isolating the hip joint and improving strength and control exactly where it’s needed.

In the video below, you’ll see an example of this type of movement:
✅ Controlled hip circles
✅ Engaging all ranges of motion
✅ No compensation from the spine or pelvis

This kind of work is essential for:

• Desk workers who sit for long hours

• Athletes wanting better performance and fewer injuries

• Anyone dealing with hip tightness or low back discomfort

If you’re unsure whether your hips are moving as well as they should be—or if you want a custom plan to improve mobility—we can help.
