HOW CAN I TELL IF MY HIPS ARE HEALTHY?
Your hips are part of a kinetic chain, meaning that they make
up a combination of weight-bearing joints that must function
together in harmony in order for your body and posture to
function properly. If one part of the kinetic chain is out of
balance, stress may be placed on another part of the body –
such as the back. Fortunately, you can test your hip mobility
with some at-home tests. If you notice that any of these bring
you pain or discomfort, don’t hesitate to contact FYZICAL as
