Unlock Your Hip Flexors Pdf Download Mike Westerdal | Page 26

These muscles in turn pull your lumbar spine forward, causing tension
and stiffness in the low back and bracing in your hips. Additionally
99.9% of people I see in the office sit incorrectly. I attribute this to
lifetime spent on soft cushy couches and overstuffed easy chairs.
Unfortunately while plush seating may feel nice for a while, it has the
effect of rolling your sacrum under so that your weight isn’t centered
over your Ischia tuberosities which is the sitting bone rather than on the
last vertebra of your spine that is your sacrum.
Now once your sacrum is jammed your entire spine compensates. This is
why a headache or sore neck is actually located in your pelvis, and why
works around the hips and low back will generally result in greater
shoulder mobility.
Now I am offering you some easy tips to increase your flexibility and
range of motion while reducing pain and stiffness. For the starter when
sitting for prolonged periods make sure your hips are higher than your
knees. If your knees are higher than your hips all of your weights falls
into your pelvis while the job of holding your upright falls to your hip
flexors and the postural stabilizers of your low back.
So instead of bracing your torso to stay upright, place your feet flat on
the floor, one foot a few inches in front of the other, by pressing into
ground, you should feel support travel up through your legs and into
your low back. Taking the strain off your back is the first step in
allowing greater mobility. Now if you want some free core workout tips
