If your hip hurts during Pilates, try this instead.

That pinch in the front of your hip? Usually not a flexibility problem. Your hip flexors are gripping because your deep core clocked out early, and the thigh bone jams forward in the socket.

The fix I give my clients: ribs heavy, pelvis neutral, cut your range in half. Let the back of the hip open instead of forcing the front. When it's clean, build the range back up.

Pain is information, not failure. Share this with someone whose hip always "talks" in class. 🤍
