Episode 73: HIP OPENERS & LABRAL TEARS: WHY DEEP STRETCHES AREN'T FOR EVERYONE

Some students need to be extremely cautious when it comes to poses like Pigeon, Fire Log, and even Butterfly. Excessive hip movement that's required in these poses can lead to labral tears, hip impingement, and even chronic pain. 

These poses primarily target the hip joints, which are in a position of flexion, external rotation, and abduction. And Pigen pose is the #1 culprit... and I'll explain why.

In this episode, I’m going to discuss hip openers and one common injury associated with them. Ever heard of a labral tear?
