Stretching of the hip joint is useful for correct posture and light walking! !! That is exactly what it says! !!
One trainer, who was featured in the media, has introduced open leg stretch.
━ Such sports trainers tend to stick to the “range of motion”.
It is safe to say that a wider range of motion is better, but the priority is “balance”.
▽Because the difference between the left and right hip joints directly distorts the pelvis, which damages the health.
However, this trainer said, “If your hip joint does not move freely, your leg strength will decline, your weight will not be well supported, and your posture will be poor. Especially, women often have a discomfort that their hip joint is clogged or they are stiff. It is said that if you feel uncomfortable, walking will be troublesome and the amount of activity will decrease,” so I will write my thoughts.
If the hip joint does not move freely, the leg strength will drop… Some people have strong leg strength even if the range of motion is narrow. This is not an absolute requirement. ㆍLeg strength is unrelated to the range of motion because you can train it by walking and using your legs.
Because my weight is not supported, my posture deteriorates… No, the imbalance of the muscles itself pulls the pelvis, and the posture deteriorates. There are people who have a good posture even if they are obese.
The hip joint is clogged and the person feels uncomfortable. This person’s muscle hardness is followed by stretching of the gluteus maximus muscle, which means that most of the feeling, or discomfort, is caused by twisting of the hip joint. Since this twist has individual differences, it is dangerous to say in general, so I will not say much, but the stretch of this person is the exact opposite. Since the peach that is being pulled will grow, it feels good and it may be easier immediately after doing it, but there is a risk that it will worsen as a result.
We also stretch around the hip joint at this place, but we do it for the purpose of eliminating the difference in the left and right of the hip joint, and the balance is restored not only by blindly softening but also by training weak muscles, it will not be stable. Is.
Furthermore, if we understand why the imbalance has occurred and change our lifestyle, it will be difficult to make fundamental improvements.
