Hip Hinge | Instil Physio
The hip hinge is a movement pattern that is often not executed properly. This movement pattern is really important for strength and conditioning for an athlete (needed to deadlift and squat properly), and for many movements needed for sport performance. This exercise helps an athlete learn how to lengthen the hamstrings without cheating and loosing the pelvic and low back position. This is a component of complex movements required by all athletes. Many youth athletes are not doing this well and their injury risk increases with poor and inefficient movement strategies. Try it out and see if you can do this or not? And how does you body feel doing it? This is great in a warm up before training and competition.

At Instil Physio, we offer education tailored to the female athlete and we call this Female Sports Medicine. To us, an athlete is anyone who uses their body for movement or sport. So yes, that’s you! Females have unique needs and physiology, which must be understood and incorporated into their training and rehabilitation. We aim to teach female athletes of all ages and stages about their bodies and how to recover from injury, reducing the impact of these injuries. We also encourage performance care, which is a great way to minimize injury risk and optimize your movement for sport and life. We believe that by arming athletes with the tools and knowledge to understand and work with their bodies, that we can help them to reach their full potential, whatever that means to them.
Our ultimate goal is to advance females in sport and create lifelong athletic participation. Knowing our work is only one piece of this, our role is to provide updated information, training and rehabilitation for female athletes so that they can reach their full athletic potential at any stage of their life. We strive for excellence in our practice and have created an environment to support and empower you in your health and sport performance goals.
