SEATED HIP INTERNAL ROTATION

This is a hip internal rotation mobility exercise. Sit on a chair or bench with your knees bent in front of you and squeezing a yoga block or foam roller. Rotate one leg into internal rotation and keep the other leg planted on the floor. Rotate your thigh maximally and hold the muscle contraction for 5-7 seconds before resting. Be sure to keep the butt planted on the seat to prevent your pelvis from lifting up. This will help to isolate the movement to the hip joint.
