6 Easy Hip Openers for Better Walking Balance and Stability

In this video, I’ll show you how to increase your hip flexibility and mobility with six easy exercises that you can do on your bed. These exercises will help you widen your base of support, which is essential for walking and standing confidently. You’ll also learn why hip flexibility is important for your health and well-being, especially if you have a neurological condition like Parkinson’s, stroke, or multiple sclerosis.
These exercises are suitable for anyone who wants to improve their standing and walking balance and stability, regardless of their age or fitness level. All you need is a bed and a few minutes of your time. So, what are you waiting for? Watch this video now and start feeling the difference in your hips and your balance.

Thank you for doing the exercise for the full 10 counts instead of just showing us what it is. It’s much better if we can follow along for the full 10 counts.

great exercises which i need, can i do them every day? my hips r so stiff. i have one leg that is shorter than the other would that make my hips tight?

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Yes. Structural imbalance will lead to stiffness. It is our body’s way of protecting certain positions but can also compromise others. Staying mobile and moving in all planes is very nevessary

[@anneliolsson31]

Ut can be a oblique hip problem. I have been in a place were they work with the Fascia
So my legs are the same no . GOOD LUCK.😊
