Initiating a Proper Hip Hinge

The goal of the proper hip hinge is to maintain spinal integrity. Where we initiate the hinge from determines the success of our spinal stability and strength development.

Avoid initiating hip movement by anterior or posterior pelvic tilt. Altering the position of then hip by manipulating it forward or back can result in pin-point pressure in the low lumbar, creating compression.

Remember, we want to move with spinal integrity. Try this:

Bring one hand to the low back and the other to the belly.

Feel for muscle engagement along the spine and low belly as we hinge back.

Take a deep, expansive breath as you hinge back.

Before hinging to standing, secure your position.

Exhale to the starting position.

You’re moving your entire spine as one unit. Moving the body with the spinal attachment, the hip joints, we maintain spinal range of motion.

You spine is meant to move, but only after the hip joints.

As always, take your time easing these tips into your next session and be patient as your body learns to retrain habits and patterns.
