Mobility at Home

Mobility work is not something that should be ignored. It lays the foundation of all movement by allowing our limbs to move effortlessly and freely throughout space.

Today we are going to take a peak at an exercise that works on both hip and ankle mobility. This exercise is called the Half Kneeling Hip Rocker. It helps by working on hip extension on the trail leg and ankle dorsiflexion in the lead leg. It’s important to note, that while I am using my hands to guide my lead leg; I’m also making sure that I’m not placing them on or too close to my knee. I’m merely using them to gently guide my lead leg, nothing more. Lastly, make sure you squeeze the trail leg glute to properly pattern hip extension.
