😮STRETCHING HIPS😮
New study just out on hip pain found that both stretching and strengthening improved hip-related quality of life over 6 months.
But before all the mobility gurus start salivating, strengthening still led to better odds of pain improvement and if course strength gains!
However the real takeaway from this is if you’ve got hip pain you have options.
Stretching may suit those already strong and active.
Strengthening may suit those with more pain, weakness, or lower capacity.
Good rehab isn’t about forcing everyone into your favourite exercise cult.
It’s about matching the approach to the person.
Less dogma. More clinical reasoning
