Myofascial Release: Hamstrings and Outer Hips
Newly Added!
•
44m
The back of the legs tend to be a tight and even sore area for many people. The muscles there are required to do a lot throughout the day. Hamstrings will often fire on to compensate for weak or underworking gluteal muscles. Often you can have pain around the sitz bones and experience pain during periods of sitting if they are in a shortened state.
We will start our myofascial release for the hips with some mobility first then we will work our way from the center of the glutes (piriformis and glute max = sciatic pain) to the outer hip area including the TFL which is that little front pocket muscle that likes to also compensate for glutes. We will end with a juicy 90/90 stretch and you'll walk away feeling grounded and fabulous!
You'll need: chair, bolster or something similar and a myofascial ball
