Release Lower Back Tension with This Seated Band Hip Shift
This simple seated movement helps stretch and activate the side body, hip, and lower back—great for anyone dealing with stiffness from sitting, long drives, or heavy lifts. It combines passive band tension with gentle core control to restore balance and mobility.
How to Do It:
- Sit with your legs extended in front of you.
- Anchor a resistance band slightly above ground level and loop it around your heel, crossing over the top of your foot.
- Keep your toes pointed up and your body relaxed.
- Slowly shift your hip downward, allowing the band to stretch through your side and lower back.
- Then, engage your side body to pull your hip straight back up.
- Hold each shift for 5 seconds, then relax and repeat.
This drill promotes mobility and stability at the same time—helping your body feel more supported, flexible, and grounded.
