DM #449: Hips ALWAYS feeling tight? Perhaps it’s because that core of yours isn’t as ‘tight’ as it needs to be.
—
Proximal stability allows for distal mobility. One of the first things you learn in PT school. If that ‘core’ isn’t stable, if that trunk can’t resist and control the forces presented to it, your nervous system has no reason to continue to grant your hips unlimited mobility. SOMETHING has to be stable or you’re gonna fall over.

If you’ve been following me for the past year, you know that I’ve been rehabbing my hip, and this is a concept that I encounter and apply on almost a daily basis. The times that my hip feels and performs the best, are the times where my core is doing what it’s supposed to be doing (and no, I don’t mean being in a constant state of extreme bracing).
—
When it comes to rehabbing a hip, yes, working on the actual hip itself is a must. But if you want to keep those gains, if you want to prevent things from coming back, if you want your hips to stop hurting…you gotta work on that core stability. Plain and simple.
