Daily Release For Tight Hips

For those looking to address or prevent hip pain and stiffness without having to get on the ground, this is a simple and highly effective way of improving hip health daily.

As mentioned in the video, doing standing hip and trunk circles is akin to a pestle gently swirling around within a mortar - the hip socket within the pelvis is the upside-down mortar, and the ball of the femur bone is an upside-down pestle.

As you do hip and trunk circles, you might experience an audible release from your hip joints - this is a sign of improved hip range of motion, so no need to be alarmed by pops and clicks that aren't accompanied by new pain.
