How To Stretch My Hip Muscles Thank you for joining us on today’s livestream where we talked about how to stretch out your hip muscles. Lack of flexibility in the hips can cause us to alter our movements, as well as making us feel stiff and less mobile. Being able to stretch them in a way that’s going to isolate the area is so important, as it’s not going to stress your lower back if you’re experiencing pain there. Principles of Hip Mobility Degenerative changes in the hips or issues with any ligaments/tendons, require good flexibility of the hip so you can function more effectively. The hip is stable in all of its range of motion. Often, in order to stretch out the hips, you may overextend the back to intensify the stretch. What To Avoid In the video, we show you a stretch to avoid which unfortunately is a very common one. Hugging one of the knees, with the other leg rested over the knee in front of you is not going to be helpful if you do have back pain as it’s going to compress down on the discs. Maintaining the natural lordosis is important to preserve your lower back. Effective Hip Stretch In the video, we show you how to perform an effective hip stretch. Kneel on the floor and move into the lunged position. Slowly move the pelvis forward and keep the lower back curve preserved (do not lean over into the stretch nor lead backwards). Your knees might be uncomfortable in this position, we do have some tips in our Facebook group for combating this which you can find if you’re part of the premium area. Sitting Variation Sitting on the side of your bed, have your thigh perpendicular to the body, creating a 90 degree angle at the knee. Placing your arms behind to take the pressure off your back. This should be a more comfortable variation of the stretch. Going Steady If you’re a driven person, or your hip inflexibility bothers you a lot, you may find yourself overstretching or trying to take the stretch to the end of its movement. This can potentially give you other complications like tendinitis, especially if you’re feeling tension at the muscle attachment areas where you’re stretching. The questions we answered today were: I have a lower back problem and am concerned about Cauda Equina syndrome Cauda Equina is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention at your local A&E or hospital.

The healing process is often misunderstood. As your body starts to recover the injury, just like a broken leg in a cast doesn't hurt while it's healing, your back might not either. But once the cast comes off, you need to slowly rebuild strength - same goes for your spine!

Basically discs really get injured from one key force that is a compression compression air over a long period of time repetitive stress or one-off compression such as a trauma causes that disc to fail from bulge out towards the side and that it occupies the spinal canal it puts pressure on the nerves the spinal cord or some of the spinal nerves and that gives you these classic symptoms either down the leg down the arms if it's in the neck or local to the spine depending on which area it is. What you need to do to get the best results with this sort of thing is understand what has led to that insult, that compression through that section of your spine that's led the Disc to fail and we do that by taking imaging upright imaging to fully understand what forces that spine is under, is it normal or is it abnormal and quite often when one disk has gone for an unknown reason these sort of repetitive stress injuries the slow onset of pain that then haven't arrived like oh my disk is gone those sorts of injuries there's something more than just a one-off form it's it's the way we should holding your body on a daily basis it's maybe some of the exercises you're doing is your routine and you desk best when you're desk based you put more pressure through the discs when you're sat down all day especially if you're sitting with bad posture.
