Supine Hip Internal Rotation
SUPINE HIP INTERNAL ROTATION
This is a hip mobility exercise that aims to increase your hip internal rotation. Here we isolate the hip from the low back to make sure we can reach full range without compensating in another area. Lay face up with your hips and knees flexed to 90 degrees. Place a foam roller between your knees and compress it to stabilize the lower body. Rotate your thigh inwards (foot will move away from the body) and feel the muscles of your outer hip contract. Aim to reach 45 degrees of hip internal rotation.
