This video is about reducing your hip stiffness with stretches.

Many of us suffer from stiffness in the hip these days because all we do is sitting.

Sitting leads to stiff hip and poor hip mobility contributes to back pain, knee pain and many more ailments.

If one takes a closer look at the anatomical position of the hip, it becomes clear, that the hip the centre of the movement in your body.

Importantly, your lower back and the hip and co-dependant structures.

They share many groups of muscles, ligaments and tendons.

A problem in one of these structures can cause pain and dysfunction in the other.

Chronic lower back pain, significantly reduces the movements in your hips and the muscles surrounding your hips can become tense and painful.

Ironically, the abnormality in your hip function, will change the biomechanics of your lower back, causing even more back pain!

And to make it even more complicated, some conditions may affect only one side of the lower back and hip, but other conditions can cause pain on both sides or even just the opposite side!

You can't win unless you sort them both out!

It is therefore important to reduce any hip stiffness you might have with some effective stretches.

The stretches demonstrated in this video target the groin area, the front of the hip, the side of the hip as well as the back of the hip.

It is an all-around, effective, and simple stretching regime.
