Hinge

Hinge

In the Hinge, the keys are:

1. Shift back through the hips maintaining a relatively straight back
2. Maintain the lower leg over the ankle until the very end of the movement (avoid pushing into the ground with the lower leg behind the ankle)
3. Maintain stacked position of thorax and pelvis (avoid the rib cage translating forward)

Some reasons to include this activity:

1. To expand the lower posterior rib cage and pelvis.
2. To improve hip mobility. By learning to sit back through the hips, the hips move into internal rotation.
3. To improve position/behavior of pelvic diaphragm. Pelvic diaphragm will move towards a concentric bias as you propel through the 90 degree hip flexion position achieved at the bottom of the movement.
