Why Stretching Isn't Fixing Your Tight Hips | Towson Chiropractor

Is your low back hurting every time you lift weights, run, snowboard, or bend over? Tight hips and poor hip mobility may be contributing more than you realize. In this video, Dr. Brady evaluates Bella after she developed low back pain and hip tightness from increased activity, including snowboarding, running, lifting, and strength training. Through a detailed movement assessment, chiropractic adjustments, SI joint treatment, hip mobilization, and targeted stretching, we work to improve her mobility and reduce pain so she can get back to doing what she loves. You'll learn: -Why hip tightness can contribute to low back pain -SI joint dysfunction explained -How hip mobility affects lifting and athletic performance -Chiropractic adjustments for the lumbar spine and pelvis -Hip adjustments -QL (Quadratus Lumborum) muscle treatment -Hip flexor stretching -Snowboarding injury prevention -Mobility exercises for athletes -How to reduce pain before it becomes a bigger injury Many athletes experience low back pain because the hips stop moving efficiently. When hip mobility decreases, the lumbar spine often compensates, leading to muscle tightness, SI joint irritation, and discomfort during exercise. Addressing both joint mobility and surrounding muscle function can help improve movement and decrease pain.
