What do your hips do?
The primary role of your hips is to produce movement, like lifting, walking, running and rotation. So if we break down these movements we can begin to understand the stretches we need to do. At a basic level our hip lifts the knee, turns the toes & knees in and out and extends our leg behind us.
Stretch Movements
If we take these movements we can turn them into stretches. So rather than stretching muscles, stretch movements and you’ll find your flexibility improve.
The key movement to improve your Lordosis is extending your leg behind you because it involves the Psoas muscle. You must be careful not extend your low back as you stretch this movement as this can make your Lordosis worse.
