Holiday time equals more travel time and more sitting for me. When I sit for longer periods, I notice that my hips talk to me more than normal. Sometimes it’s one, other times it’s both that are uncomfortable. One day it’s on the right side and another day it’s in the left.
This month’s exercise is for when you feel aching or pulling in the back of your hips. It can also help with your hamstring flexibility if that’s something you’re interested in increasing. It’s called nerve flossing and it’s a simple exercise that opens up a lot. Because our nerves enervate multiple muscles, when you make their pathway smoother, you impact more than you might think.
Whenever we work with the nerves, we want to be gentle. If anyone’s experienced nerve pain, you want to avoid that at all costs. So on a scale of 1-10, we want to be at a 3.
Enjoy this short video and share with someone it could help. When we’re in pain, it’s harder to be kind and we need more kindness in this world. If there’s any part of the body you’d like some tools for, let me know!
