Thanks Veena! I ride English style, dressage
I used to ride (ages ago) I totally get that! Try foam rolling the Adductors and doing a little straddle stretch after riding to help remind the muscle to relax 🙂 Do you do English or Western style riding?
My tight spot is definitely my inner thighs. My primary sport is horseback riding, which I think makes me very tight in that area.
Thank you! Pay attention and see if over time using this routine it clears up!
I absolutely love these videos! To answer your questions my tight spot is more in my right side. I don't know how to explain it but I feel crunched up on my outer hip and my oblique muscles on that side.
Sure thing - I will let you know 😊
I'd love to hear the outcome!
I have not… I don’t think I ever paid much attention to that, I just let it do whatever it wants to do. It may tilt a little naturally. I can tilt my hips enough to have a flat, belly to floor pancake stretch. I will give it a go in my next middle splits session 💜
How about pelvic tilt? For me that makes a huge difference. Have you tried moving through different positions with the pelvis?
External. I think I have good hip mobility in general, for example I can do deep yoga squat with good form…
How is your hip rotation overall? Internal and external?
I feel more restrictive in my outer hips than in the inner thighs… it’s like there’s a sticky kind of bone on bone point that I cannot go past. I feel a lot of pressure. I feel the stretch in the inner thighs of course, but that’s more like a soft stop if that makes sense 🤷🏻♀️
Oh, I did a little of that, came in dead last in my first (and only) dressage show. Lol
