Top 3 Hockey Hip Mobility Strengthening Exercises
Last week we broke down our top 3 ankle mobility strengthening exercises for hockey players, this week it’s all about the hockey hips! The focus on these exercises are to nopt only open up new mobility in the hips but simultaneously strengthen your hips end range of motion. This will better prepare your hips to improve range of motion, strength, speed and increase injury resiliency!
Deep Squat Openers
Focus on getting full depth on your squat. While opening up at the bottom don’t allow your feet and knees to collapse in. This will help increase your hip strength through a full range of motion.
Deep Curtsy Lunge
Focus on maximizing your lateral range of motion here. Also try to get as low as possible without resting your knee on the ground. The more depth you can get the more bulletproof your hips will become at handle any weird position they may get into on the ice.
Deep Lat Lunge Openers
Focus on keeping the hip knee and foot aligned as you drop into the deep lat lunge. Your opposite leg should stay straight as you open it up. This will help you improve your lateral weight transfer and depth.
All three of these exercises should be staples in your hockey hip mobility strengthening program! If you have any questions on form or would like to learn more great exercises to help with your hockey performance don’t hesitate to reach out!
