This usually means one side of your body is compensating for the other.โฃ โฃ This can happen due to standing on one side more than the other, sitting in awkward positions, sleeping on our favorite side, working out, and many other movements we perform throughout the day.โฃ โฃ What we do to counteract this problem is to start balancing the muscles again. We do that by first starting with the opposite side of the problem in question. For example, if your right leg is overworked, we start by balancing your left leg.โฃ โฃ In terms of your hips, if you have an imbalance where one side is tight or you find you have an over dominant leg. SNU Registered Massage Therapist, Brendan, gives you a few exercises you can do.โฃ โฃ These 3 exercises include:โฃ โฃ ๐) ๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ญ: This movement isolates each leg and allows you to work your hips and glutes as well. A Pistol squat is just a squat with one leg so focus on pushing your hips back and keeping your knees behind your toes. โ Perform 3-4 sets of 10 reps.โฃ โฃ ๐) ๐๐ข๐ฉ ๐๐ข๐ค๐: What weโre doing is activating the glutes and hips like we would when walking except exaggerated by elevating one side of your leg and working a hinging motion. โ perform 10-15 reps at 3-4 sets.โฃ โฃ ๐) ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐: This movement helps activate your stabilizer muscles including your hips. Do this with no shoes on and best performed on a piece of foam or even a Bosu.โฃ โฃ
