Do this instead of crunches!! 🤯🤯I promised I’d share some flexion exercises, so here is one of many options! This core exercise is also anti-extension in nature. This core stability exercise also strengthens the hip flexors, and improves hip mobility.⁣ ⁣⁣This is SO much tougher than it looks!👉 Follow me if you want a STRONG core!! Coaching tips: Sit on the ground, and hold a roller, dowel, or other object. Bend your knees, and lift your feet from the floor.Lean back a small amount. Your head,

Improving dorsiflexion, hip flexor strength, and hip mobility is crucial for people who drag their feet because these areas are essential for proper gait mechanics. Enhanced dorsiflexion allows the foot to clear the ground, preventing trips and falls. Strong hip flexors lift the leg efficiently, while flexible hips ensure smooth, coordinated movements. Foot dragging can lead to tripping, falls, and associated strains. Over time, it may cause joint pain, muscle imbalances, and reduced mobility. S

“The most important movement of the hip is internal/external rotation, which activates receptors of the posterior and anterior capsule. Less than 3% of the capsular receptors are found to be excited by flexion/extension.” Rossi & Grigg P 1982 ✨Rotation is the most important movement of the hip. Important if you want joint health. Important if you want to activate muscles. Important if you want efficient movement. Muscle is just a stupid piece of meat. The intelligence is in the structure. -Dr Gu

Knee flexion The prime flexors of the knee joint are biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus, whereas popliteus initiates flexion of the “locked knee” and gracilis and sartorius assist as weak flexors.
