Hip Rehab Series
The hip is a joint that is a weight bearing joint that is affected by structure, musculature, ligaments, the spine, foot, and ground forces.
Hip Rehabilitation Series Stages:
Foundation: Essential hip isometrics to create stability.
Isolation: Eliminating weakness with essential isolated joint isometrics.
Integration: Improving mobility with integrated joint isometrics.
Movement: Improving concentric and eccentric contractions around the hip and surrounding joints.
Strengthen: Adding resistance / load to our joints to safely encourage muscle hypertophy.
Challenge: Improving the muscles' ability to contract efficiently on-demand.
* This does not have to be done in successive days. Spend as much time as needed in each level of progression, as there is no rush. Use a gentle, consistent approach to strengthening your hips. Feel free to explore other workouts in the hip as well as the core, ankle, and foot regions.
