A couple weeks ago I visited my friend and colleague Nick Tumminello at his facility in Baltimore.
Nick is a brilliant coach so I love stopping by his place to steal some good stuff from him.
While there, I saw him do a hip mobility exercise I had never done before. I started playing around with it this week and really love it. It’s a great way to mobilize the hip into adduction and abduction in a hip flexed position. This is one of those “must-includes” for hockey players and soccer players that tend to have a lot of hip problems.
