Dr. Roni Glassman PT, DPT on Instagram: "We love a hip hinge ❤️ I’m consistently shocked by how many of my patients go to the gym and lift HEAVY loads during squats, deadlifts, etc… but when asked to do a hip hinge, they’re at a loss 🤷🏼♀️ Common mistakes I see are: leading with the chest, rounding the back, overtly bending the knees The hip hinge is a foundational movement for a squat, deadlift, and to simple pick something up from the ground! The dowel (or pole) is a good way to give patients a tactile cue to understand how their torso is supposed to move as a unit. Hope this helps 😊"
Dr. Roni Glassman PT, DPT on Instagram: "Hip hinge? Who needs her? ALL OF US ACTUALLY I like using the hip hinge as a building block when showing patients how to dead lift, squat, lift something heavy off the ground, etc There are many ways to cue someone into properly hinging, and these are a couple of my favorite tricks. And they’re kind of fun too!!"
Dr. Leada, PT, DPT, SCS | Sports Physical Therapist on Instagram: "TRAIN YOUR HIP HINGE👇🏼 The HIP HINGE is a critical component to movement sequencing in forward bending. An efficient hinge allows the hip rotators and hamstrings to lengthen under contraction, doing the majority of the work, to allow the trunk to move towards the floor. After a back injury, this motion can be inhibited due to fear, weakness, pain, or other reasons. It also be impacted after something like a hamstring strain/tendinopathy, hip labrum tears/glute pain, and even knee surgery (ACL, meniscus/replacement.) ⛓️ Pairing a hip hinge pattern with load (gravity to weights) can really maximize glute/hamstring strength. Think: deadlifts, good mornings, and the forward lean needed in an athletic single leg stance
movewell health | chatt on Instagram: "Respect the hip hinge! 🫡 seriously, if you can’t coordinate this exercise, you probably shouldn’t be deadlifting. Grab a PVC pipe or broom and get after it! This is such a foundational movement for motor control of the spine, core, and hips! 🔑 It’s a staple in our daily treatments for our patients! YES - even those who experience back pain! Not only can the hip hinge improve your weightlifting abilities, but also your day to day function 💪🏼 you need the hip hinge motion for so many daily activities - gardening👩🌾, picking up your kid👶🏼, loading the dishwasher🧽. DONT FEAR IT! 🔑 points: •maintain all 3 points of contact at all times •hinge at the hips until you feel a stretch in glutes and hamstrings •think about shutting the car door w
