Your hips move in four planes flexion, extension, abduction, and rotation. But most people only train one: forward and backward (SAGITTAL plane forward/backward). Think squats, lunges, deadlifts all sagittal plane. That’s only a fraction of what your hips are designed to do. When you neglect rotation and lateral movement, the small stabilizers like your glute med, deep rotators, and adductors get weak. That weakness shows up as ‘tightness,’ poor mobility, and even back or knee pain. So if your hips always feel tight or unstable, stop stretching them endlessly. Start training them in every plane they were built to move in. - SIDE NOTE : The last plane is 4. Diagonal or Multi-Planar Movement (Functional Integration) While technically movement occurs in 3 anatomical planes, in real life, your hips move through blended or diagonal planes like twisting, cutting, or climbing. 👉 This is where functional strength comes in training movements, not just muscles. #HipStrength #MobilityTraini...
