THE MOVES

Hip Flexor Stretch – These muscles also affect the pelvis and low back.  With the amount of sitting we commonly do each day, there is a good chance these muscles need some attention.

Stand 6” away from a wall with your back facing the wall. Lean left shin with pointed foot on the wall. Stand tall and keep upper body parallel to the wall. Hold for 30 seconds, do 2 times.

Lax ball to shoulderLAX Ball to Posterior Shoulder – By loosening up the infraspinatus muscle, you will have increased arm action during the back swing and follow through.

Begin on “all 4’s”. Make sure your arms are locked out, your back is flat and your head is facing the ground.

Keeping your back flat and your knee bent at 90 degrees slowly lift your left leg up and out to the side until it is level with your back. Repeat 5-10 times on each side.
