Post from Tree of Life Massage Facebook page:
How are your hips doing? Are you experiencing stiffness or pain when walking? Low back pain from too much sitting? There are two major muscle group that move the hip: the anterior or front muscle group and the posterior back muscle group (your butt).
The front group flexes your leg in front and the back group extends your leg back. These muscles are very important and do a lot of work. Sitting can cause the muscles to "shorten" and tighten up causing stiffness and/or a pain in the butt! Massage, stretching and walking can all help to relieve this uncomfortable condition.
One more thing, did you know cats have an anatomy very similar to humans? What if we took some cues from them? They are always exercising and taking regular naps. What's the first thing they do when they wake up? Stretch! They stretch their hips out briefly through lunges and extension. They look like ballerinas. I've started imitating cats and it really does help my hips! #hips #massagetherapy #stretching #cats#lessonsfromcats #whoknew #glutes #gluteusmaximus #piriformis
