Hip Hinging 101: Decrease Low Back Pain & Improve Performance

April 17, 2016 Posted by Dr. Christopher Garcia, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS, USAW Fitness & Performance Training, Hip, Back & Core, Injury Prevention, Warm Up & Mobility

Does your low back hurt after deadlifts? Do you have difficulty maintaining good form with the movement? Excessive rounding or flexing of the low back can cause increased stress and pain. Hinging from your hip, instead of your low back, can help reduce the excessive stress.

On this special collaboration with HealthFit Performance and Wellness in beautiful Hawaii, we provide three corrections to improve your performance. HealthFit is a leader in the sports medicine industry and we have the pleasure of bringing you the latest and greatest in fitness. We hope you perform better. On behalf of both our teams, mahalo!

-Dr. Chris Garcia, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS, USAW & Dr. Jason Han, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS, TPI
