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.”
