How To Fix Tight and Weak Hips – Part 2 – Standing Resisted Clam Shells

When you’re dealing with tightness and weakness in the hips, adding a balance component to the training is great for muscle recruitment as well as incorporating a band.

This exercises checks a lot of boxes because you are adding a “closed-chain” (foot planted on the ground) exercises for stability and balance as well as an “open-chain” (foot not connected to a surface) for muscle activation.

This is a tough and very useful stability and general leg strengthening exercises important for healthy hips.

I received a question on Youtube on how to address inner hip/groin pain. I didn’t get much information on the mechanism of injury, how the injury occurred, or how long the pain has been there so this video is meant to encompass just a few of the techniques that can be used. Trial and error will be something to keep in mind as some techniques may be more effective than others.
I would start with gentle range of motion and movement in the area to a comfortable range. Gradual progression to stretching exercises. Also do the exercises to comfort and discontinue if pain increases. Seeing a medical professional is always a great idea if symptoms do not improve.
I break down a few of the techniques that I have demonstrated throughout some of the videos on the channel and picked the ones that could get some results and improvement.
Make sure to think about the body as a whole and not just look at the hip for treatment, but also address the low back as well as the knee for possible dysfunction or causes of pain at the hip.
