How do I loosen tight, painful hips?

Tight hips are one of the most common results of a sitting life. The hip flexors at the front shorten, the joint loses its range, and you feel it as stiffness, a pinch, or a lower back that quietly takes the strain instead. The body is wise: where one place is locked, another compensates - which is why hips and lower back so often ache together.

Gravity Stretching opens the hips with slow, supported stretches - the straps carry the legs, so the muscles do not have to brace, and the joint can open gently on its own terms. At the same time decompression of the body takes the load off the lower back that tight hips overwork. We convince the body, not force it: to the edge of comfort, relax, step back, repeat.

A few regular sessions usually bring a very noticeable freedom. Move within comfort and let the range return - it wants to.
