Rhonda Patrick: Try these 3 hip mobility tests
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Squat test: Check if you can squat with hips below knees – if not, indicates mobility issues.
- Single-leg knee raise: Stand on one leg, lift other knee past 90° – most people struggle with this.
- Sit-and-rise test: Lower to cross-legged position and stand up without using hands/knees – failure suggests limited hip flexion.
Notable Quotes
“What should the hip be able to do? What’s normal? What’s far from normal? They have no idea.”
