Mobility Drill for Back Pain
Video by Dr. Byron Morgan
The 90/90 hip mobility drill is a cornerstone stretch for improving both internal and external hip rotation. When patients come into our East Dallas clinic with low back pain or even knee issues, limited hip mobility is often a hidden culprit. This position allows us to access both hips in a supported, active way. In chiropractic care, we look upstream and downstream from the site of pain, and this movement aligns perfectly with that holistic approach.
Quotes from Research
“Improved hip mobility reduces compensatory lumbar motion and risk of low back pain.”
“The 90/90 position targets deep hip muscles often restricted in sedentary individuals.”
“Regular mobility work has been linked to better neuromuscular control and reduced injury risk in athletes.”
This stretch is simple, effective, and scalable to any fitness level. When paired with chiropractic adjustments, patients often experience improved movement patterns and reduced tension throughout the body. Encouraging patients to include this in their daily routine can enhance recovery and mobility.
