Core-Tex Hip Mobility for the External Rotators

Here are 5 progressions with Core-Tex to hit the tissue of the posterior hip along multiple vectors like only Core-Tex can.  Each of these variations of the popular "Figure Four" stretch has its own benefits and can be suitable for users of all abilities.  

Limited mobility of the glutes and deep external rotators of the hip can be associated with lower back stress and even sciatic pain. Single plane approaches don't address the multiple vectors of tissue that acts on this area of the hip.

Whether you are a rotational athlete of want to ease stress on your hip getting out of the car, these applications are for you!

Core-Tex plays well with others.  With the increased interest and research around dual tasking of cognitive exercises plus motor challenges, Core-Tex is emerging as a clinical favorite for many reasons:
The study we are sharing with you in this post looked at strength training of 58 older women and 6 males under age 70 .  The comparison was strength training with vs. without the use of unstable surfaces.
