Do you ever train internal hip rotation?

A hip with no internal rotation capacity isn't a fully functioning hip. Period.

This deficit forces the surrounding tissues to compensate, causing issues in the knees, spine, and pelvis. Over time, this dysfunction can even impact organ function.

For longevity in your movement practice—whether it’s weightlifting, running, Yoga, Pickleball, Pilates, or qi gong—restoring this motion is not a matter of personal preference. It's essential.

Don't wait for an injury to happen before working on areas that lack movement capacity.

Why was there hip strain? 🧐

This is called “accommodation.”

When your body gets so efficient at a particular exercise or movement pattern, it hides in its own strengths—until it becomes its biggest weakness.

Let's

That nagging low back and hip tightness?
It might not be a muscle problem at all. 🤔

Think stretching more and holding passive poses are the solution? Think again. 😏

This client is an experienced yoga practitioner—proof that being "flexible" doesn't mean you're free from pain. 🤯

Stretching more is rarely ever the answer.
In fact, it can often make a lot of problems worse. 🫣

Why? Muscles don't get tight without reason, and chronic stiffness isn't always a muscular issue. More often than not, it is either a visceral, neurological, or psychoemotional one. 🤨

In this case, the cause of low back pain and hip tightness was a restricted kidney, which created tension through its fascial connections that lead to the low back and hip. 🧐

By restoring the natural mobility of our organs and blood vessels, tension along the muscular structures resolves itself. 😜

There are more layers to the body than we think. .unrestricted 👈
