Why do my hips keep going out of place? DocJen & Dr. Dom discuss what it means for your hips to go out of place, explaining the tests therapists use to diagnose "hip misalignment." They describe muscle energy techniques, explaining the physiology of the effect of isometric contractions. Furthermore, they dive into adjustments and the physiological responses to the pops that follow a manipulation. They hone in on the concept of hypersensitivity, providing insight into how you can decrease sensitivity within the hips to "feel" more aligned and stable!
