Running Series Video 13: Hip Mobility

Hip rotation is vital for runners as it allows for a natural, efficient stride. Proper hip rotation enhances running mechanics, promoting effective propulsion and reducing strain on the knees and lower back. This movement facilitates better shock absorption and balance, contributing to improved speed and endurance. By incorporating exercises that promote hip rotation, runners can enhance their overall performance and minimize the risk of injuries.

In this video, Athletic Therapist Sarah Black will explain why you need to improve hip rotation (not just flexion and extension) for running! She’ll demonstrate how to improve your rotation through axial rotations and hip CARs (controlled articular rotations).
