In this video I show you 2 assessments that you can do at home to assess your hip mobility and 2 flexibility techniques that I use with pro golfers to enhance hip movement.

Possible Restrictions:
—–Muscles: Piriformis, Posterior Adductor Magnus, Iliopsoas

SUPINE 90/90 HIP INTERNAL ROTATION ASSESSMENT
