Are you experiencing hip pain from sitting too much? You're not alone. Many people struggle with hip flexor issues due to our increasingly sedentary lifestyles. In the latest video, Dr. Gavin from Carolina Active Health dives into a simple yet effective hip flexor activation exercise that can help alleviate this common problem.
Dr. Gavin starts by explaining how sitting for prolonged periods can lead to tight and weak hip flexors. This muscle group often gets neglected in our daily routines and even in the gym. The good news is that there is a straightforward exercise that can help activate and strengthen your hip flexors, improving your overall mobility and reducing pain.
The exercise involves using a resistance band around your feet while standing shoulder-width apart. Dr. Gavin guides you through the steps: "You're just going to march here. Bring that foot up to 90 degrees, trying to stay nice and upright. Focus on kind of bracing, keeping that intra-abdominal pressure too, not shifting too much side to side and going nice and slow and controlled."
This exercise is particularly beneficial for runners who often experience hip flexor issues. However, it's also suitable for anyone dealing with knee, hip, or quad pain. Dr. Gavin emphasizes the importance of slow and controlled movements to get the best results.
If you've been struggling with hip pain or want to prevent future issues, give this exercise a try. And if you're experiencing more severe problems, consider visiting Carolina Active Health for professional advice and treatment.
