When practicing yoga, yoga teachers often tell us that if you want to really open the hip, it’s very important to fully flex the hip
.
In addition to the practice of opening the hip, you should also do more closed hip exercises, such as shoelace style, banana style and so on
.
The closed hip exercise here refers to stretching and relaxing the iliotibial band on the outside of the thigh to fully flex the hip joint and maintain the overall balance and health of the hip
.
But in real life, many people just want to do hip opening exercises that make them feel very strong, such as frogging, sitting angle, and so on, while stretching and relaxing the outside of the thigh, which is not a big feeling exercise, is often ignored and given up
.
In fact, if the iliotibial band of the lateral thigh can not be relaxed for a long time and is too tense, it will not only limit the flexibility of the hip joint, cause hip bounce, but also cause pain in the lateral knee (especially when bending the knee)
.
Therefore, yoga, body balance, comprehensive practice is very important!
