This movement builds on the previous groin stretch. If you haven’t seen it the link is at the bottom of this post.
Try this stretch if you want to build flexibility and strength in your hips!
A mobile hip is a gift in sports and life. As we age a mobile strong mobile hip means more stability and less chance of arthritis. This stretch takes groin mobilization to the next level. Only do this if you have done part 1 first.
Again we are moving the hip in 6 directions to stimulate the joint to its end of range which in turn starts to activate the proprioceptors (nerves). This is important because these tiny nerves are actually what co-ordinates the muscles around the hip to fire efficiently, saving you energy and keeping you strong.

"Oh My Gosh- I am ALREADY feeling relief after a few days! I used to wake up 2-3 times a night with shooting pain that anti inflammatories couldn't touch. Now I have been waking up just because I want to notice what it feels like to lay in bed pain free- THANK YOU!."
"When I first started with your program I was experience a lot of pain. Walking was difficult. I had to stop and catch my breath every few minutes and lean against a wall for support. Now when I walk with my husband we go for over an hour. I never had to sit down and stop...and, hardly any pain!!! 😊😊 I can’t thank you enough."
