After working in various clinics as a kinesiologist, I’ve noticed one peculiar thing about us humans. We tend to look for hip pain relief in all the wrong places. Whether it’s X-RAYS, bedrest, or over-the-counter pills, our minds go into ‘quick fix’ mode as we search for a temporary bandaid while ignoring the root causes of pain. Ironically, we rarely think to exercise even though physical therapy is one of the most productive methods for building a strong foundation…not to mention it is completely free!

I do understand, however, that physical activity comes with plenty of barriers. Whether it’s a lack of education or intimidation, it’s not easy to move your body in a painful, vulnerable state. Fortunately, that’s where this simple program comes in. With just 5 minutes and a bit of floor space, you can begin fostering mobility, strength, and overall independence again.
