Hip Release with Lacrosse Ball: Relieving Tension and Targeting Knots

Do you struggle with tight hips? This Lacrosse Ball exercise is designed to free up your hip muscles and provide relief. Place the ball where your back pocket would be, adjusting your body to a slight angle for better access to the muscle. Remember to position your feet about a foot away from the wall to ensure proper body weight pressure.
Explore the area until you find a tight spot, and if needed, adjust the ball slightly lower using your hand. When you locate a tight spot, allow your muscles to naturally clench, then focus on deep breathing and relaxation. The goal is to let the muscle melt and relax, enabling the ball to work its magic and release tension.
Stay in each spot for 10-15 seconds, allowing the ball to soothe the tightness and knots. Move around and discover other spots, both close to one another and potentially in more distant areas. Pay attention to the side of the hip, especially if you experience knee pain due to ITB friction syndrome. Shifting your body and targeting the side can make a significant difference.
Remember, the goal is to find the knots and trigger points, allowing the ball to provide relief. Explore the areas that feel tense and focus on breathing and relaxation. Enjoy the benefits of a more accessible and more comfortable hip area with this effective Lacrosse Ball routine.
