Adductor Focused Hip Bridges

What is going on guys, happy Mobility Monday! There is no better way to start the week than by getting a solid training session in, and your training has to include focusing on your weak points. This week’s Mobility Monday Tip focuses on a mobility movement for your adductor complex and helps combat hip pinching pain. If you struggle with groin pain or limited mobility it may not be a stretching issue but a stability issue. So if we combat it with providing the hip some stability it can go a long way. This hip bridge has an adductor focus with the ball in between the knees, forcing you to squeeze the ball throughout the movement and it will light up your adductors. You should complete 8-12 reps depending upon how fatigued you become.

"I have always strived to be a practitioner of what I do. Whether that was being a collegiate soccer player or now engaging in powerlifting and bodybuilding, I strive to push my body to its limits like the clients I treat so I can be a more effective clinician. I get no better feeling than having someone leaving a treatment session with me feeling, moving and performing better, it is the reason I love what I do."
