I always really appreciate that you don't just leave responses at "hard to say without knowing more" or "it depends," you always give a couple of examples so that I can get a better understanding of what things depend on and what that might look like. Thank you! 🤗
Love this and all your videos!Would you be willing to talk more about the concept of tightness being weakness? How to figure out which parts of your body need strengthening vs stretching (if we can’t afford a PT) and what other anatomical areas this tends to apply to apart from hams and hip flexors?
Hey! So unfortunately that’s not even within my expertise. There’s a reason why I always say go to a PT, and it’s because they’ve done 6+ years of higher education to learn how to screen for these things.
I'm currently a student of physical therapy and I loved seeing the exercises you demonstrated in this video Justina! I'm almost finished with year one of school which is almost entirely anatomy, so I don't know much about therapeutic exercise and treatment yet. This was great to watch from a personal standpoint (for maintaining my own hip flexors), but also for making mental connections between the anatomy, the exercises, and the types of contractions you use in the video! Also, you do such a good job of using your scope of practice to the fullest and so well and communicating to your clients and listeners which health professionals are appropriate for specific physical needs. I appreciate and look up to that so much!
This video came out in perfect timing! I've had 2 surgeries on my hip and they get tight and my hip flexors haven't recovered fully. I took a core group class and my hip flexors hurt for a week! Lol I'm going try these exercises. Thank you!
I can’t wait to try this! I have always had very tight hips, whether I had a job standing all day or sitting all day. Do you think that working on external hip rotation will help with my being pigeon-toed? It’s like a minor insecurity for me lol.
This might be a very specific question, but at the beginning of the hip Cars the sole of the foot is parallel to the floor, just like the knee. So the leg is right behin the hips and straight up towards the ceiling. I don't know why, but that is basically impossible for me to do. My foot always tilts to one side. Same thing with standing kickbacks, kickbacks and donkey kicks on the floor or single leg deadlifts with a floating leg. My foot always twists so the toes point outside, but never straight to the wall or floor. It's worse on my right side, which is generally weaker (dancer's hip). I hope that this description somehow makes sense. Does this problem have to do with tight hip flexors or weak muscles? I have been trying to figure that out for months 😅
I would check your form, but unfortunately I can’t tell you why you’re having pain without seeing your form or knowing you. If you want to correct it, I’d go see a PT.

Thank you Justina, I feel much better about my hip flexors now! I'm being super serious. I do train the movements you suggested.
You’re so welcome!
Love this video! I really like to throw movements like this into the yoga classes I teach!! Also living for the all pink outfit😍
Thanks!
Great video! I’ll definitely be trying some of these as warm ups for my workouts
Glad you enjoyed!
Brilliant!
Thanks for the tips! My hips are a big problem for me. Always tight.
Hope it helps!

Hard to say without knowing the reason you’re pigeon toed!
@@JustinaErcole good point, I don’t know the reason either lol.

Probably weak inner thighs if you’re always drifting into external rotation!
I get pain in my hips when doing leg raises or bird dogs, it’s this weak hips also?

@@JustinaErcole thank you for taking the time to reply, I’ll check in with a PT next time I’m at the gym 😊
I need PT
Same haha
