  • Quadruped Pelvic Tilts

    This lesson video teaches Quadruped Pelvic Tilts - a simple but powerful drill to build pelvic control and awareness. The objective is to isolate the pelvis from the hips using small, intentional movements, while also improving control of the lumbar spine and setting the foundation for spinal seg...

  • Side-lying Hip CARs

    This lesson video covers Side-lying Hip CARs - an accessible variation that removes the balance challenge so you can focus purely on hip control. The objective is to move the hip through its workspace - flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and internal/external rotation - while keeping the m...

  • Standing Hip CARs

    This lesson video teaches Standing Hip CARs - a key drill for developing real hip control through the full workspace: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and internal/external rotation. The objective is to move the hip independently, without “stealing” range from excessive pelvic rotation o...

  • Bearsit Hip ER PAILs/RAILs

    This video explains the Bearsit Hip ER PAILs/RAILs - an effective way to turn hip external rotation from “something you can stretch into” into range you can actually control and use.
