Often I’ll see folks experiencing a pinch in the front of their hip with squatting... so obviously the painful side is the issue side, right? 🙅🏻‍♀️NOT SO FAST. I’ve noticed lots of folks with room for improvement on their “non-affected” side hip concerning internal rotation.

👉🏻You're looking for 35-40° of IR - more for different sports (ie: hockey goalie) -if you’re lacking IR on 1 side you may be dumping (and probs laterally shifting) into your other side to compensate- that side then becomes the “affected” side but is just the dude getting hammered on. Not the case for everyone but... food for thought.

Couple ways to work on some IR? . 🎥Supine Internal rotation
📍lying on your back 📍gently let knee fall inward towards body while keeping bum on the ground 📍use opposite side foot to push knee down towards ground inducing more internal hip rotation . 🎥Seated Internal Rotation* 📍get yourself into a Z sit (where my dancers at?)* the back leg is the one we're stretching, if you have the motion you can keep hands out front or 📍if you need an added 'umph' hold your ankle down towards the ground, 📍gently lean towards the stretching side 📍feel the stretch through the hip . {*If you’re getting a “hard stop” with these motions it might be more of a how you’re put together issue- be smart and don’t just grind away on something that isn’t changing}.

Now, important- once you gain this motion- use it. Get squatting... or whatever it is you do 💪🏻
