In an article for Outside, trainer Jenny McCoy examines how working on hip flexibility can protect runners and hikers from joint strain. Tightness in the hips often forces the lower back and knees to absorb extra impact on rugged trails. McCoy outlines how incorporating multi-directional rotational movements into a regular routine helps stabilize the pelvis and eases movement across uneven ground, while advising beginners to build up mobility gradually.
