Hip Connection to Back and to Legs Reinforced

This session explores external rotational movement, using a belt to coax the hips to the end range of its rotational movement. We often dont touch these ‘outer corners’ in our regular activities. In fact physical pursuits such as bicycling and various athletic activities might diminish them further. This not only makes the hips stiff, setting them up for later injuries and imbalances, it also makes the groin area stiff, uncomfortable and prone to injuries. Some of the other actions from the previous session to connect the thighs and the lower back simultaneously to effect the hip in a healthy manner are repeated and reinforced.
