🤸‍♀️ WHY HIP FLEXION IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A SAGITTAL PLANE MOVEMENT 🤸‍♀️

You may think hip flexion is as easy as bringing your knee to your chest, but there is SO much more going on.

In fact, the act of hip flexion has various rotational elements about it, and better understanding these elements can greatly enhance our exercise selection, helping our clients move and perform better.garageband

Don’t worry fam, we get into the weeds and come out with an easy understanding of hip flexion in Movement Debrief Episode 160!

With this video, you'll learn the following:

1. Three zones of hip flexion
2. How infrasternal angle presentations can be related to the rotations that occur in hip flexion
3. What exercises can be used to increase your hip flexion capabilities
4. How hip movements differ with breathing vs movement
5. Whether to prioritize external or internal rotation
6. When is hip flexion considered compensatory

Let's get to it!
