Uncool Trainer: Hip pain and lumbar compression
Your lumbar vertebrae and SI joint can become compressed if you sit a lot, if you’ve fallen on your tailbone multiple times, or if your body needs stability for a muscle not doing its job.
This video shows a quick, simple range of motion assessment that may indicate if your lumbar spine is compressed. Simply turn your toes in and see how far they can internally rotate. You may want someone to help you do this passively.
If you can’t turn your toes past neutral, but someone can help you get that range of motion, it’s most likely a muscle imbalance that can be addressed!
And if you have sciatica, compression can definitely be playing a role. -
