Beyond the Kill

Carrying on from last week's episode focused on pesky low-back pain, Wardo covers how your hips relate to low-back problems, as well as other commonly sore/injured body parts. Do you need to stretch more or get stronger? Wardo answers this question by explaining why you need to understand the difference between a mobility issue and a stability issue.

As a simple primer:

Mobility Issue = Stretch, roll it, treat it.

Stability Issue = Strengthen it, train it, learn to use it.
