Early-Range Hip Flexor Strength for Runners

2 weeks ago | irunfar.com | Joe Uhan

Hip flexion makes up half of the running motion. Strong hip flexors are the crucial upward-forward yin to the downward-rearward yang of powerful glutes that create hip extension.

And just when I thought there weren’t any more feasible foam rolling strategies, I returned home for the holidays to see my mother foam rolling the front of her ribs.

Forget everything you know about thoracic spine foam rolling. Yes, it feels good — or bad — and helps the ribcage. And yes, it also helps to improve mobility (1) and relieve pain (2) in the neck and lower back. But you may not know that rolling the ribcage could be the key to unlocking the most stubborn shoulder and hip stiffness and improving nervous system mobility.
