This gentle banded drill targets deep hip tension and improves mobility by exploring different angles of movement—all while allowing your body to relax into the stretch. It’s ideal for anyone looking to improve hip function, reduce stiffness, or prep for lower body work.
How to Do It:
- Anchor a band slightly above ground level and loop it around your leg as close to your hip joint as possible.
- Lie on your back and rotate your banded foot inward so it rests against your opposite thigh.
- Slowly move your knee side to side in a smooth, controlled motion.
- Focus on exploring the stretch across different areas of your hip.
- When you find a tight or tender spot, pause there for 5–10 seconds.
- If you don’t feel much tension, slide your body farther from the anchor to increase the stretch.
This technique blends passive tension with active exploration, giving your hips the freedom to move and adapt without force.
