6 Position Hip Opener
We need to mobilize where we SUCK. For many of us the bottom position of the Squat is a problem and thus it is here we should attack.
For positions 1/2/3 your foot will be anchored flat to the ground with your knee driven to the outside. Position 1 has your chest facing forward. 2 has the chest turned towards your leg and 3 has the chest turned away. Keep you back as flat as possible, much like it needs to be in the bottom of the Squat.
Positions 4/5/6 have the side of the foot on the ground. The foot needs to be placed on the center line of the body. Think in line with your belly button. Keep the knee up. Same chest positions as 1/2/3.
Oscillate in these positions, don’t just sit there, work deep into your hip capsule and hip flexors. The movement will sort of floss the capsule and the surrounding tissues and loosen things up.
